and Mr.: r. S. Lockton. Mr.. Lockton
returned just as we were going to press.
He reports an exceedingly pleasant time.
An enjoyable party was given at Mr..

and the people Of Winchester did their
best to make the occasion II happy one.
We understand that there is talk of
holding another meeting of teachers this
fall, and we herewith present the claims
of the county seat as a proper place for
the second gathering. We believe it

Crops,

Crops,
Harvest Is now in progress. most of the
barley having been cut. Some wheat has
also been harvested, and next week will
see the larger part gathered While the
erap is far from an average one. still. as
stated by visitors, it is so much better
than that OF sections north and northeast
that we have little cause of complaint.
The situation seems to be about like
this A few fields of five OF ten acres on
isolated tree clam ms will not be cut, as the
'ost of thrashing and hauling to the
sranarics OF those who have put in the
generally ION shares would be
toe great; few other fields Will be
moved, but thrashcd; while fully three
fourths of the entire crop will be bound.
\ few ticlds--notabIy that of Mr.. s. E..
Wood, near town--show up with a good
average yield. This gentleman wheat
was harvested This week, and those VIII O
cut it say they believe it will go 20 bush
els to the acre. His oats, also, are very
nearly us good as last year. AS to what
is the secret of the few good yields
whether earlicr sowing, more careful cul-
tivation. or better seed--our farmers are
invited to give their views In these col,
umns. MIR. Wnod's land seems to be of
the same quality us that of his neigh
bors, and, as he has obtained an average
yield in an excessively dry season, why
cannot others do as well under similar
circumstances?
Corn is growing nicely Potatoes, al
though the tops are bright and green, arc
quite small in the hills, and will probably
require little rain before Christmas il
they are to reach a respectable size.
laying has been in progress during
the week, and everybody seems to be lay:
ing in a good supply. Many. rather than
haul several miles, have cut on the up
lands. Where there has been no fire fol
two or three years, hay can be put up
quite rapidly, and one ton Of such hay il
| said to be worth two tons moved in {
slough.
A half.dozen different farmers have
told us that with themselves the hay
problem is solved; thatat least five tons
; Il day can be cut on the upland, and thai
they'll hunt no more sloughs to procure
their hay.
The outlook, as we learn from many
inquiries, is that wheat and barley in this
vicinity will range from ope-half to two
thirds of an average crop, oats about one
half, with an abundance of hay being pu
up by every one.
