Our farmers have just gathered in
one of the most bountiful harvests
for years. The hay crop was excel
lent, but some difficulty was expe-
rienced in getting it in prime condi-
ton, owing to the recent rainy
weather. Potatoes look fine and the
corn is promising. Fruit of all
kinds was damaged by the wet
weather and the crop will be light.
