are not 80 cheering as they were earlier in
the season. In some loralities they have had
too much rain and in Others not enough, and
the effect of either extreme has been TO cause
the plants to shoot up rapidly with narrow

the leaves spread upon the hill and develop
to perfection, thus getting both size and
weight. We hear Of some excellent field. of
