desperate struggle with the grass for the

about to pull through, conquering IL at last.
The wheat and oats sown in the Fall have
been harvested, and made very fair yields.
Very few Of the oats sown in tho spring will
be worth cutting. There was 8 very small
acreage Of grain sown in this vicinity. tits
q mystery Why moro attention is not given
TO these importann crops. believe one
reason is the universal custom Of letting
cattle run at large during the winter. Il
seems TO me that II would be much better to
convert some Of the uncaltiya,sd farm lands,
now washing away. into pastures, well set
wi bermuda or wire Grass, for winter
pastures, so that the grain crops could bc
given the attention they deserve.
