CHEswoLD, Oct. 9th.-The wet
weather is much against farmers seed
ing their wheat. Very little wheat has
yet been sown in this section. NOone
within our knowledge, and only few
have made a commencement or even
have their fields prepared. With the
thermometer registering near 80 last
Saturday, field work for men and teams
was very trying and many farmers
thought their wheat better off out of
the ground. The weather conditions
will necessarily cause late fall SOW
ing.
Two colts of Peter Beckett's living
near Cheswold, ages respectively one
and two years, succeeded last week in
reaching his pile of wheat in the barn
and were badly foundered. The
younger one died.

generous on the part of the club, and
the simple requirements as to care of
the books will doubtless be observed
and appreciated.
