crops promised to be greatly above the

that the acreage seeded was greater than
usual, and is indicated at 1OS.
Oats.
The same conditions affected this
crop, so far as the winter seed is con-

ed in death in about ten minutes.
His legs and IL arm were run over,

Wimpfheimer, who was about %
years of age, was working on the
