The weather the past two weeks has been
very favorable for the growth of crops of all
kinds. Corn and grass were both in ex-
tremely poor condition the middle Of June,
but what corn came up is generally looking
well. Grass has gained very much, but the
hay crop is likely to be generally light. The
festive potato bug intends to keep up with
the times, and, II the warm weather con-
tinues, will doubtless make a bountifu
crop mot OF .potatoes). Very little has been
done at haying yet, and, il rain continues to
come, many will be glad to leave their grass
to grow several days longer yet.
