Special December weather favors farming in Illinois region
Special Crop Bulletin reports December was generally dry enough to spare grasses and winter grain, with good grazing and strong root systems. Wheat damage is localized to central districts by Flossian fly, while Hessian fly affects early sown wheat in some areas. Rye is thriving, and farmers used the open winter for plowing. A testimonial endorses Electric Bitters for health issues.
