"Now that the warm weather is
upon u.s." wrote the editor of the Hick-
DRY Ridge Missourian, 1--WE take occa-
sion to say we don't need no more
corncobs on subscription. But we do
need something to pacify our temper.
It's pretty ugly just now, for we have
got our regular spring bile. It's on
the back of the neck this time, and it IS
a blamed bad one. When we are in
this condition nothing but real money
aver does us any good, and if our best
riend should walk into the Office and
try to get us to take garden truck or
salt pork on subscription he'd get into
trouble. Bring in the cash, and bring
it right now, or we won't be RESPONSE
BILE for anything that happens in this
community for the next ten days."

New Brunswick, Aug. 6.-The clos
ing days of July were very warm and
sultry, eliminating in a destructive
thunderstorm, accompanied by high
winds and heavy rain, which did some
injury in places to the growing crops,
and blowing much orchard fruit from
the trees, apples suffering the most in
jury.
The first four days of August were
more pleasant and favorable for the fin
ishing up of the oats and hay harvest.
The oats crop is all cut and housed and
the yield, both in grain and straw, will
be less than onehalf of the average.
The reports from all sections indicate
that the yield of potatoes will be deciG-
eddy below the average; corn, even that
planted very late, is growing vigorously;
the early planted is caring well. All
truck crops in the southern section, ex-
cept late tomatoes, are in fine growing
and maturing condition. The late to
matoes, for the canneries, have poor
set.
The temperature and rainfall were
above the weekly average ana the sun
shine slightly deficient.
