For the week ending Tuesday, May
30th, 1893.
By Willis Moore, Forecast Official, Mil.
Light frosts from the 23d to the
25th in the north half of the state
seem to have done damage and crops
have made favorable progress.
Corn and potato planting is about
done, except in the large potato fields
of Portage, Waupaca and Waushara
counties, where the remainder of the
week will be required. A great deal
of corn is above ground and looking
well, and potatoes have been planted
under very favorably circumstances.
All cereals are making very satisfac
tory growth and there is not much
change in conditions since last week.
Good pasturage has given an im
petus to the dairy, and all cheese fac
tories are under full operation, and
are luring out an excellent produce.
Strawberries and currents are in
bloom for a full crop, and the blue
berries promise to be unprecedented.
A great disappointment is felt in re
gard to apple prospects; the trees, for
some reason not apparent at this time,
show but few blossoms, and the yield
will probably be light.
All reports still indicate a big hay
crop.
Water is being drawn from the
cranberry marshes.
News from Hollandale.
To The lowa County Democrat.
Weather is quite pleasant now a

J. L. Parks and J. Fathers spent the

Britts took in Dodgeville Decoration
Day.
