Ellis secretary of the state board of agri- culture reports that on account of the excessive rainfall and the low temperature during most of May, crops did not make a favorable growth and ths crops generally are from two to three weeks later than usual. “In a normal seasion,” says Mr. Ellis “practically all the corn ts plant- ed by June 1. However, on that date this year only 75 per cent of the entire crop was planted aad on account of poor germinations some of thé corn planted will be planted over. In 1903 corn planting wasnot completed until about July landa great many fields planted as late as June 22 matured good crops of sound merchantable corn. The conditions at present of the entire crop of the state is 70 which is five points higher than the condition was one month ago, but is about 11 points below the five year average’ at this time of year. The condition on June 1, 1903, was 74, only four points higher than the present con- dition. The condition of the crops by sections is as follows: northeast 74, northwest 68, central, 70 south- west 71, southeast 76 While considerable improvent in the wheat crops is noted by several correspondents, & likenumber report a decline leaving the general average condition for the state practically the same as ft was one month .ago which is 81, or about three points 1| below the five year average at this time of year. ] year ago the ||above, © Cass Gounty Democratic Ticket At the Democratic Primary held in Cass county Saturday the follow- ing were nominated: State Senator, Robert Hugh Brown; Circuit Judge, N.

A partial list of the damages to property and crops by the wind storm and hail which passed over north Bates Saturday evening, May the 28th, is taken from the Adrian Journal and 1s as follows: Jas, Bryant, two barns blown down; John MeNeil, two barns unroofed; Judge Hayes, barn blown down and all of his horses killed; Chas. Neleon, barn blown down; Geo, Marshall, house blown down; Ben McReyonlds, new barn wrecked; Scott Oiler, barn blown down. L R. Nichofs, wind mill blown down; Geo. Falloon, house blown off foundation; Ed. Wyatt’s barn was badly damaged. In the above we do not attempt to give the full loss | but only so much as we have been able to gather from the wide scope ofcountry covered by the storm. In many localities the wind was ac- companied by a heavy fall of hail, which literally tore things to pieces. Following are some of the losses re- ported to this office: Wm.
