tention of having samples at this sta

the crop. Let the roots remain in
the ground and make suearuntil their
appearance shows them beyond doubt
to Re fully ripe Wait until the leaves
are turning yellow and the outer ones
are withered and fallen. In thus lat-
tude and at this season of the year

GROWING most bountiful season.

night, and in the drying winds the
rustic OF the corn blades was like an
anthem of rejoicing. In The state at
large fully three fourths OF the corn is
practically secure. and more than The
usual proportion OF the crop is beng
cut and shocked. About % per cent
is yet more or less immature, needing
from one to two weeks to fully ripen.
There is larger per cent OF unripe
