Wheat is ripe and ready TO cut
The yield will be much above the
average. In some portions of the
county the farmers are complaining
of the ravagcs Of the "fly" and s.joint-
worm" This is not the case here,
however, rs our farmers have, long
ago discovered the best preventive of
the evil, and that is, sow your wheat
late in the fall in order that it may
not grow large enough before winter
sets in to allow the egg of the "hy"to
be deposited.
