Farmers busy in hay and some have
commenced threshing. The yield is not

dition of the heads. Fultz variety seems
to be injured more than the bearded

ready for harvesting.

Colora, Cecil County.-The past week
has been favorable for the harvest,
which is now gathered, except oats
and Hungarian hay, with only small
acreage of wheat in shocks in fields.
No drouth here. Heavy thunder storm
on the night of the 9th with soaking
rain that was very beneficial to corn,
grass and tomatoes. Early apples are
scarce. A few trees of cherries that
escaped frost at blooming produced
crops. No peaches here now.
