same field will not thresh out 20
bushels and this is a way up piece
The average will be from 6 to 10
bushels in this locality.
The oats crop here is practically a
failure. Fair growth Of straw but no
oats. In fact not half the oats in the
vicinity Of Manchester will ever be
threshed.
Potatoes are done growing. We
will have few early ones but no late
ones The dry weather and bugs
have finished the late ones.
Corn is doing very well at present.
II nothing unforeseen happens during
the next 80 days we will have a fair
corn crop. Grass is good. Pastures
were never better at this time Of the
year. ] trust the above may correct
any misunderstanding as to north
west Dickinson crops.
