The Oats,

The cold weather has affected the oat
crop very seriously. The crop on red
land is said to be killed badly, that on
sandy land is not injured near 80 much.
Some oats that were planted in August
and lay in the ground two months with
out n drop Of rain on them look we'll.
Spring oats, planted since January LIST
1885, arc not killed rs badly as those
planted about first Of November. The
weather has been exceedingly severe on
the crop but is to be hoped that the
complaints of the farmers have been
exaggerated.
