WORTHINGTON TOWNSHIP.
Last week was u time which will not
be soon forgotten. Three copious rains,
followed by cool, showery DAYS. The
grain, corn, and grass seed which had
not started are now up and growing
rapidly, as if trying to make up for
lost time
Hundreds of acres of fax had been
seeded on this years breaking before
the rains, but the planters had become
discouraged, but since the rain new
life has come into the flax culture,
hundreds of additional acres are being
broken and seeded with fax. The time
is near at hand when prairie sod will
be a thing of the past in this country.

In regard to Mr.. Leonard's commu
nication your correspondent is MOI
convinced that the item of May 21s>
contained any wrong statement
Having read Mr.. LIS explanation VI
agree with him that the matter shoul(
be stated near the line of truth, So
will give my source of information
Mrs. E. F. Whitney, Mr.. Leonard'
daughter, on coming home, after Wis
it to her father brought the news tha
her father had turned 40 head of hog
into his grain. SO the story came t,
me aud my husband by the mouth O
Mr.. F. Whitney's hired man-one wh,
has been in his employ q long time
We could not believe that good far.
mer would do so, under the circum.
stances. He assured US that this was JUS
what had been said. To.be more sure
We asked him what Mr.. Whitney's peo
pie thought of it. He answered, "Oh
we all laughed about it," The tall
came in incidentally as we spoke of tn
need Of rain, and the discouragemen
felt by farmers about the prospect TO
the fields just planted. We do not wisl
to misrepresent any one. We onl
thought that such hasty acts tend t.
bring our soil and climate into bad re
pute. The most Of US farmers are con
tent with what providence and natur
are doing for US, believe that it is YER
"near the line of TRUTH to say b
word and act that, ordinarily, our sea
sons are favorable and fruitful, an
that in this country good, careful an
patient farming pays, in the majorit
of years, very much as in other parts q
, our favored land.
