prevent large amount of it from coming up Some

is sprouting and bids fair to make its way through the

corn he has planted, there is time lost, yet, that
he may repant as soon as the weather maaeraes, in
case his seed is destroyed.
Since the fruit trees have doomed we have had two

There is very fair prospect for wheat crop in our
