Patureat.-The land is still too wet
for corn planting to be finished in many
places in this section. Corn that was
planted early had TO be re-planted owing
to the cool weather; in some cases it be-
come frost-bitten. Melons had to be
planted the second time, owing to the
cold wave of some time since. So far,
no plants are nearly ready to set out.
A fair crop of fruit is reported. Wheat
and rye are heading out; good prospect
for an average crop.
