THE CRoPs.-The cool, wet weather has been
extremely favorable for the wheat, and with
ripening weather this month, heavy yield is
anticipated.
Corn, on the contrary, has been retarded n
growth by the cool weather, but there is time
enough in which to plant and see large crop
matured. Farmers are taking advantage of the
intervals between the rains to work their corn.
The cut-worms have given some trouble, but
not great deal of corn has required replanting.
Oats promise good yield, and there will be
