Auu. 2O.-Last Wednesday about noon
quite a storm Of rain, wind and thunder
passed over this section only TO Oe followed
by one little before dark with heavier
rain nl and tiercer wind which did consil-
cradle damage 70 the corn crop especially,
breaking it of aud blowing it down and
tang,ing it about The fodder that was ripe
was literally riidled by the wind. Our old
friend Mr.. Az Horn thinks he gathered up
l5 bushels of damaged or broken down
corn, oil one acre of his crop.
There hasn't been such crop of vegcta-
ton of different kinds, on the ground in II
years as there is now. \ mau with grass
scythe can make good wages almost any
where making hay.
Uncle Az says low is the time to top cot
ton,-iust after the full moon-this advice,
| fear, will no: reach most of our readers
until it too late for this season. However,
we advise our farmer friends to try it il
they eau get it done before the moon changes
again.
While we are not disposed to put much
faith in this "moon business, We are less
incliacd to dispute the teaching of Genesis
