A great ado has been made about
both, all, or nearly all, of which is poor
er than nonsense. The weather is all
right, of course, and there is no use OF
fretting, expressing surprise, finding
fault, or doing any other wicked things
about it, if it should be seemingly
against us it is poor policy to proclaim
the fact.
As for the crop, it is by no means lost.
At least one fourth Of it is either threshed
or well secured in stacks. No more
than one third Of the remainder is SER
iously injured, and that third is not lost.
1t is an easy matter to save it separately,
and keep it for seed. We mead have no
fears of a surplus until another season
brings us supply. Last year we sold
wheat at eighty.five cents per bushel
WATCH went down the river, and we have
since bought corn at one dollar ten which
came up the same stream. Bad policy
that.
There is not much chance to gauge or
alter the weather, nor is there much
chance to recover that share of the crops
which are lost. Our condition is by no
means deplorable, and we shall require
no sympathy from abroad if we attempt
to make it so. Besides it may not be a
good advertisement for our country, and
much less for our crops. II the machines
can knock the sprouts from our wheat,
and the good housewives of the country
learn properly to knead the flour there.
Of, why need we howl about it? We may
as well cease complaining, put on stiff
upper lip and placid smile, and go on
our way rejoicing. AN.
In a short article last week we al
luded to the damage done to the un-
threshed grain in this section by the late
storm as very great. We thought so
then and we think so still, though it is
evident our correspondent entertains
contrary opinion. But it can't be helped,
great minds will differ" sometimes.
