The latcreSS OF the season admOnl shes
us that if we desire crop Of corn, no time
is to be lost. If there is art in culture, if
we can by extra attention, by more care

for the lateness Of the season, but for its
average lov temperature, which just now
gives premise Of continuance, it is our du-

Since 1857 we do not rccolleot so late n
