We cannot help feeling that grain
crops will not be 30 good in this section
this year as last, and to urge our farmer
friends to 80 provide as to be prepared
for any emergency. Sow plenty of grass,
clover and oats this season. The more
you SOW the better it will be for you and
the country. Do not neglect Your corn,
and potato crops Have some tobacco,
but not enough to cause you to neglect
your grain, grass and vegetable crops.
Try to add some stock to your posses
sions this year. But be sure to SOW grass
and clover seed on some good land this
next month. Ifyou have piece of land
that is worn, clover is the best thing you
can use, with as good scattering of man
ure as you can give it. Let our farmers
make aa earnest an effort this year as
they did last, and they will certainly be
in clover next year.
