Farmers have been very busy trying to
| finish planting, and como arc through, cx-
| cspt corn, and was about to abandon plant
ing for time, on account of dry weather,
| but Saturday we had n much needed rain,
and yesterday morning another, that made
the ground thoroughly wet, and the oats
look rcjuvenated, rs they were getting hard
and old looking. Young corn on upland was
suffering considerable, but when the plows
get there and put some dirt to it., that AMI
this rain will prove an invigorating tonic
| for il.
Nous Verons a>kcd me to say something
/ about my experience with peas, but cnu'l
| say any thing this time and fctr my eXps-
rience is not worth much anyway, but We
| will try and have "peas" ere long, and will
| say that when we manure the land with peas
| instead of 80 mach commercial fertilizers,
and raise more at home-just what some arc
| going to try this ycar-we will have another
farmers movement, for they will move quite
different from the past.
