in some parts is very fine, but not so
generally.

4 great many farmers who four
weeks ago, thought they would not
gather as much wheat ~ they had
sown, are getting a good half crop,
and many others will have a full av-
erage crop. The wheat crop will av-
erage over half crop. The oat
crop will also be much better than
was expected, and corn promises well.
There is no occasion for dependency
among farmers.
