The wheat crop bids fair to be abund ant the
coming harvest. As far our oh ervations have
extended we have never seen the wheat fields uni
versally present finer appearance at this o
the year. The recent rains have been of great adj
vantage to the grasses, their fine fbruus roofs ex-
tending themselves in the moist soil, insures the
plants IA vigorous and rapid growth, already evi
dent to the eyr, from the bright grcenswlrd that
is carpeting the fields every hand
The farmers in the upper portions of the county
will be planting corn the coming week; early plant
ing, if the ground is not too wet, being the most
reliable for good stand.
Oats also beginning to show their green
blades. Oats, though almost indispensable food
Tor horses, is not profitable crop for the farmer.
