lost on the farm at this season it is
almost impossible to make it up.

not been known for many years past.
The ground is in excellent condition
and our farmers are using their ut
most to do something this year. A
great deal more land has been put
into cultivation this than last year;
therefore it is reasonable to suppose
with 4 continued favorable season
that the yield of oil kinds Of crop:
will for exceed that of any previous
year in this parish.
