This is what growing crops want, ant
must have 10 bring them 10 maturity
but then 1t creates sort OF goneness
in man and beast that inclines them "a
seek the shade rather than sunshine
Potatoes never came up looking NOR,
healthy and now the tops In places cover
the ground and no rust TO speak Of, but
still there are indications that the crop
will be considerably below the average
But the greatest marvel this season Il
how sweet corn is acting. Ii Is so un'
even that although the ground wa:
dressed all alike, the seed all the same,
and planted at the same time, yet while
some of it has attained its growth and
the ears beginning to form, there are
hills within a rod not a foot in height
and not vet spindled. Perhaps some
modern Socrates can rise and explain.
That there will be any corn on those
hills before another year Is simply i'm
possible.
There is hay and grain to be harvested
vet and everybody wishes he had more
of il.
John Titus had no chance TO sell his
big calf for a mate and so let II go Tor

and tell them II In naughty TO do so, and
that is all.
