Mr.. John Habhegger, the cllees e
dealer, made business trip through the
country hereabOuts one day this week,
and reports the conditions for securing
the ripened and ripening crops as most
unfavorable. The frequent and excess
sive rainfall has SO sOftened the ground
that it is almost impossible to run reap
ers. The grain, of heavy growth, has
been lodged and twisted by the success
sive storms until there is scarcely a
piece OF standing grain. The wet
weather has been favorable to the
growth Of weeds and grass even in sown
fields, and they form a heavy mat of
underground that makes the cutting of
the grain, even under ordinary circum-
stances, difficult and in great measure
retards the drying out of the bundles in
the shock. The prospects for an enor-
nous yield of grain was never better
than few weeks ago, but from the
causes above stated, it is extremely
doubtful if the matred crop can be all
gathered or that what is gathered will
be in prime condition.
We copy elsewhere an article from
| the National Criterion entitled "Genu-
inc Homes" We hope aur readers will
carefully read it and absorb as much as
possible the good sense it contains. The
foundation and perpetuity of our country
depends more upon the home life of
our people and the home education of
our children than upon any other con-
ditions. The ambition of every Ameri-
can citizen, foreign or native born,
should be to own home. The questions
OF taxation and public policy can be
safely entrusted to freeholders. That SO
many OF the w0rkingmen own and
occupy their own homes in Watertown
makes it a most desirable point for the
establishment of factories and machine
shops. Strikes for trivial causes would
be less frequent, if not unheard Of
while regular work from employees
would be the rule and not the exception
