Rain, rain, cloudy weather, very little
sunshine, cool weather. The earth is thor.
oughly saturated, sloughs full, river high,
and the land is so soft that all work has to
be suspended at present. Last week for a
few days the land was dry enough so that
considerable corn was cultivated. In some
places it was the land, for the corn is not
there. Frost, worms and continued cold
cloudy weather have destroyed quite por-
ton of many pieces. For some reason
probably the early drought-the grass is
thin on old meadows and the hay crop will
be light. On new seeding where there is
clover it is better.
The season is getting backward, notwith-
standing the early spring. A little over
five inches of rain have fallen in the last
ten days.
