~There appears to be general fail
ure in the sprouting of the seed corn. A
large portion of that which has been plant
ed has failed, so far, to make even COM
mencement towards growing. This, of
course, creates an uneasiness in the minds
of the farmers, who have been making ar
engagements to grow large crop the pres
ent season. 1t is conceded by many that
the failure is in part attributable to the
cold, wet weather which has prevailed
throughout the country this season, and
not wholly tc the seed, as some are inclined
to believe. The prospects for good crop
of wheat, oats, de-, were never better in
this county than at the present time; which
fact should be healing balm to the wound
made by the anticipate failure of the corn
crop. 1t is hoped that the season will yet
redeem itself, and bring forth harvest
that will cause the heart Of the husband
man to rejoice, and his purse to groan by
reason Of the dollars therein.
