drouth prevented it from coming up, and the
Winter has been severe on it. The present
outlook Is not over - per cent. Of an average
| crop. Our corn crop the past season was not
over 20 per cent. of an average. --, Eaton,

Seeing that you wanted to know how the

last year, will say that, as far as Dark County
is concerned, the wheat crop is not more than

in this County last Fall, but much Of the early

present indications there will not be more thar
| one-half crop compared with last year.-E
