I'VE have great deal of cold weather. No fair
weather since last Sunday rain almost continually
and wind very high. The farmers have but little
corn in the ground yet. Wheat and oats look badly.
Corn scarce sells at 81 per bushel. No rough food
at all"

regard to the crops

The past week, though somewhat variable has
been of great satisfaction to farmers. Wheat and
grass growing finely the ground has been dry
enough to permit corn planting, and the young corn
is beginning to shoot forth. There is good promise
OF abundant harvest now and We hope the present
favorable Indications may be continued to the end OF
the season. Bristol 1eWS.
