season are very late, and at this time
it is impossible to give correct esti-
mate of roots and oats; potatoes have
suffered from the ravages Of the Col
orado beetle, and are now damaging
from rust, caused by the continuous
rains, and will be o light crop. The
hay crop is lighter than usual, but
was all secured in good condition be-
fore the rainy weather set in. Far as

correct: Hay, $500 acres, average
1000 pounds per acre. Oats $50 acres
average SO bushels per acre; pota-
toes, 900 acres, average $50 bushels
per acre; wheat 250 acres, average
% bushels per acre hops, 70 acres,
average l 300 pounds per acre.
NORTON MILLS Hay, an average
crop. Potatoes about the average
