FLY IN THE WHEAT.-There is un-
usual complaint of the ravages of the
Fly in the early sown wheat fields.
One farmer tells us he has never seen
it so bad. The fields attacked are
mainly those seeded before the heavy
rain the last of September, and some
of them are considered ruined. The
extremely warm weather of the Fall
season has given the fly an unusual
opportunity to commit its depredatiOns.
The October sowed wheat has very
largely escaped
SUNDAY was very different day
from what was promised by the
Weather Bureau; instead of being
rainy it was a bright, genial balmy day
that admitted of open easements and
social porch sittings. The church at
tendance was larger than perhaps for
several weeks. Sunday night was the
time for the November display of shoot
| ing stars: those who were on the
watch were not gratified by anything
phenomenal in this direction, but had
instead small Auroral display that
frightened up the Northern sky.
