A great deal is said about the cold and
backward spring, but let US look back
and see. Last spring the first warm day
was the 9th of May; no feed, buds hard
ly swelled, yet we had a fruitful season.
The 10th of May, 1884, snow fell Is inch
es, yet we had abundant crops and ma
tured early. June Z, 1912, snow fell
inches, yet good crops. May 20, 1856,
snow fell four inches and lay on the
ground all day, yet corn ripened that year
in 80 days from planting. So, fellow
farmers, plant corn, for it is a native of
New Englrnd, is the surest crop we can
raise and has been for the last 40 years.
