Although the hay crop was cut short,
there is much to sell. We learned Of
one farmer who made 100 tons, another
so and another 80. OF the wheat crop
there is fully so per cent in the farm
ers' hands. There is q general impress
sion that it will be higher. and the
farmers are quietly holding 1t in their
barns. The price now being paid at
Orange Is 63 cts. per bushel.
The corn crop is about half an aver
age. The Lahore neighborhood has not
suffered from the drought as much as
other portions of the county. Owing to
the prospects for short feed the COM
ing winter comparatively few stock
cattle have been bought.
