and plowed up all but thirty, and now.
says that if he gets all his seed back
his expectations will be fulfilled. An
other farmer has reported to the State.
Board of Agriculture that IS per cent
of the wheat sown in Coffey county,
will not be harvested, and that which,
is harvested will yield only about go
