be asked for by the farmers, and if nothing
happens to the growing crops it is thought
that large yield will be realized the coming
season.

heading out finely, although there is some
smut and some evidence of rnst which,
however, is not alarming.

field in Goodhue county, in which the heads
were about five inches in length, and looked
very promising. The weather for the week

with tropical exuberance and density of
foliage.

Crops of all kinds are looking splendid at
this time, and once more the future looks
bright and promising. We trust that our

have it dashed to the ground and shattered
just as they are putting it to their lips, as it
was last year.
