Crop Reporte
The weather conditions have been
very favoreble to spring crops. Oats,
barley, corn, potatoes, grass and gar.
den truck are making wonderful
growth, The mow fields present a
beautiful appearance, and their prom-
ise of a bountifal crop is mccepted, in
part, to make up for the shortage in
wheat,
Probably not in the recollection of
at least the majority of farmers has
seed corn proved as faulty as this
spring. Fully fifty per cent. of the
acreage was wholly replanted, and
gome the third time. Nol & few farm-
ers who did not go to the trouble to
closely examine the stand of corn,
will find when cultivation time begins,
that their presumption will cost them
many bushels of golden ears,
Generally speaking, the wheat fields
present a sorry condition. The erop
in this section will not be more than
one-fourth, with scarcely a field up to
the yield of last year. Ong redeem-
ing feature is that where the wheat js
missing, as a rule, there is an abun.
dagee of timothy, the growth of which
is almost as rank as that in the mow
fields.
