in conversation with an EAGLE reporter
said that as far as his observation went the
wheat crop in the county has been over es-
timated. Said Mr.. Casad, /" 1t will not pay
for the seed, the labor Of sowing and bar
vesting and much Of II will not even pay
for harvesting. The frost of last winter, the
cold and dampness Of the spring, the late
hail storms and the harvest rains all COM
bined 10 do up the wheat crop, and that
now the respers were stuck in the mud and
that what wheat there was would be spoil
ed" The corn crop he said was is very fine
and hay and oats are the finest be ever saw.
The web-worm had done a great deal of
