Weekly Crop Bulletin Reports Mixed Wheat Conditions
The weekly crop bulletin notes favorable farm work and general vegetation growth, with moisture decent but rain needed in many areas. Wheat remains variable with Hessian fly damage in central and southern districts, while corn grows well amid reports of cutworms and garden pests. Fruit trees show weakening, grasses thrive, and stock feeds are being sown in the south as conditions shift toward dryness.

Troy Public School Building Displays Historic Growth
The Troy City Public School at Clay and Hickory streets is an eight room brick structure built in stages since 1856, with additions in 1887 and a surrounding iron fence on a 1.5 acre playground. It houses a bell from a sunken steamboat and pays about $300 monthly in salaries, serving over 300 students this year and preparing five graduates in the 1899-1900 term. Memorial Day events drew large crowds, with Rev. Dr. C. O. Kimball and Rev. W. Martin delivering addresses.
