Coop FOR CRoPs.-There is ne question
but that, aside from grasshoppcrs, 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 like
ly to have return of good average yields.
| There is no question but that good cover
ing of snow ssss SIS 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

Thirty minutes for Refreshments" last
