MARSHALL, juno 26:h.-June styled The
"leafy" month has proved to be with US the
rainy one, and the farmers are obliged to
reap their wheat crop between showers.
There is the promise ola fine yield. The hay
crop, the next to be secured, is on fields
which have not presented such luxuriant
grass Cor several years past of course fat
cattle, sheep and hogs abound and will be
ready for an early market.
