The hay and oat harvest is about over m
this section. Both are good crops and were
gotten up in fine condition ThreShing is in
progress. Much Of the wheat is tough. The
Weld is not up to expectations for the amount
of straw. Those hot days in May followed by
foggy mornings in June had tendency to
lessen the yield that was earlier apparently
promised.
A tremendous wave Of political excitement
is sweeping over us. The primary meeting

Shocked at that sudden change, Brant
