Weather Summary Shows Cool Nights and Drier Week
The weekly crop report from the State Department of Agriculture and Weather Bureau notes below normal temperatures early in the week, cooler nights, and warm later days with deficient rainfall. Fall plowing slows in dryness, wheat rye and grain seed sown, corn outlook mixed with frost risk estimates ranging from mid September to mid October, and oats nearly harvested with below average yields amid drying conditions. Potatoes vary from poor to good, apples and other fruits unpromising, with regional notes from Mitchell and Virden on corn frost safety and late-planted crops.
