There is little news here. People are so
busy trying to do their haying that they
have no time to murder anybody or do
other extraordinary acts of which CORE
spOndents can manufacture items.
The weather the past week has been very
catching, rainy and poor to do haying, CON
scquently but little hay was secured but
there is some compensation in the fact that
the hay is generally improving and two or
three weeks later than usual, consequently
it is not suffering as much as usual from
late cutting. The crop is large, and, not
outstanding the catching weather last
week, much Of it has been secured in good
condition better than usual
All other farm crops promise finely,
though corn is late. With favorable
weather this month and the first part of
September, and without early frOsts, the
corn crop will be good.
Potatoes look and promise finely, SO far
as can be judged by those dug. The early
potatoes do not yield as largely as was eX-
pected, but the quality is very fine.
Considering the carly promise, the crop
of apples will be very small, they set very
thickly, but are nearly all dropping Off.
Grapes are looking well, but will be caught
by carly frosts if We have any, as they are
very late.
