Coop FOR CR0Ps.-There is no question
but that, aside from grasshoppers, the
grain crops in this State during the past
three years, have not been up to the aver
age Practical and experienced farmers
attribute this to the one fact OF there being
scarcely any snow Oh the ground during
these seasons. If there is anything in this,
then from present appearances we are ike
ly to have o return Of good average yields.
There is no question but that a good cover
ing Of snow SITS in preparing the ground
for seed, and giving the farmers good
early start in the spring This alone is a
great advantage, as it has been fully demon
strated by actual experiment, that the ear
licr the seed is planted the better the yield.
The Morris Dramatic Association pre-
sented the plays "Above the Clouds" and
Thirty minutes for Refreshments" last
evening. AS tie performance is to be re
peateG tonight we Will not give lengthy
report of the play Or of the macner Of pre-
sentation, reserving our remarks for the
next issue as the performers will doubtless
present the plays in more thorough man
tonight, although last nights performance
was really excelent-yet practice makes
perfect and there is always room for inn
provement
The above is what we were going to say
but circumstances, over which we have no
control, disarranged the plans as laid down,
so we do the next best thing, and that is
give our idea Of what should have oc
