Weekly Crop Report

The following is the summary of the erop bulletin issued by the Michigan weather bureau Wednesday. Excepting the reports of a few correspomlents from the Upper Península, the general verdict of the past week's weather is that ft has been very benefleial to all growing crops. Corn has made good progress during the week, and in many cases is repprted as booming. Late potatoes havealso done well and have shown a decided improvement; a few in the northern section report them as affected by blight. Perhapa the most noticeable improvement is shown by pastures, which,under the influence of the rains of the past two weeks and the warm weather ofthis week, have greened up verv rapidly and in most cases are affording some fodder. Tlie fine rains of the past few weeks have also put the uround in splendid condition for f all plowing and seeding, which work has been quite general in all sections of the state during the past week. The warm dry weather of the late spring and past summer has ripeñed fruit earlier than usual ; peaches and pears are being picked and are in the market; they are plentiful but small in size. Apples continue to drop badly over the soutbern counties of the state ; corn cutting lias just commenced and will probably'be quite general during next week.
