The Biggest Vet.

BY general concensus of opinion
among the farmers, we have the
very biggest wheat crop, this year,
on record.
To this there is not dissenting
opinion Everybody joins in the
general verdict and says it is the
very biggest. The worst old croaker
that ever eroaked cant find any
cause of complaint. Every head of
wheat has every grain it ought to
have. Every stalk has as big a
head as it could hold up. Every
inch Of ground sent up as many
stalks rs it could support. And
best Of all, when it WAS matured and
ripe for the harvest, the clouds van
ished from the heavens, the sun
shone out, the clouds withheld their
rain and the farmers were able to
gather in the crop in good condition,
and make the most Of it,
Now the oats crop, looking almost
as fine as the wheat, is getting ready
for the scythe. The acreage is not
extensive, and seldom is in this
county, but every field that was
planted will bring the farmer sat
isfactory return for his investment
Alongside of the oats is the flour
ishing meadow, which looks like it
ought to be satisfactory, although
some farmers say it is not exactly up
to the top notch. The fact is that
many meadows in this county are
old and hard and the soil thin.
They have been allowed to grow up
in filth, and are used as pasture so
continuously that the very roots of
the grass have been eaten up. But
where there is a meadow in condi-
ton to produce it is covered with a
fine crop of grass.
The corn is coming along finely.
1t is equal to or above the average
for this season of the year and we
hear no complaint.
We had fine crops last year. 1t
was regarded as an exceptionally
productive season, but unless the
signs are deceptive generous nature
is going to beat the record this year.
