The outlook for the corn crop Is quite favorable,
and large corn crop viii tend to impart more
life to business than even a large wheat crop
Last year at this time our corn crop prospects
were also quite favorable, but an early frost
proved SO Injurious that, instead of large crop,
we had small one The indications at present

The stand of corn this season is very good, the
ground has been we'll worked and the outlook is
now regarded as favorable for the filing OF the
