EDffoR HtBpNEt--
Ever since Father Adam
and Mother Eve were driven from
the Garden OF Eden and told thst
tho earth was cursed for their sake.
and should bring forth tboins and
thislles, and that in s'lhe sweat Of
thy face shalt thou eat bread" mnn
has been battling for an existence.
Since we have undertaken to SOW
our ploce to grass and make the
raising and selling Of grass seed =
specially, we have found that the
above quotation is literally true.
For two weeks we have been waging
war on plantain, yarrow, jamestown
weeds, cookie burrs, ETC., and still
there is some lett. We began our
fight on the sbuck" or narrow
lesvsd plantain two years ago and
have only partially succeeded in its
determination. We began on the
yarrow last year. Having 40
acres to keep clean, we will always
have work in that line as our neigh
bors do not seem to realize what a
seourge these weeds are and are
making no effort at al to control
them.
The rains OF the past two weeks
have been good for our young
grass. Some of it that we thought
was a failure, has started up and
bids fair to make a good stand. We
had very little rain-onIy sprinkles
and showers from the last of
February to the zIst OF May. Since
which time we have had four good
rains We have not had as much
rain here as has fallen west and
north of US. The corn rs reason
ably clean aud looking well; whea,
doing well; oats and flax thin and
short. Pastures aud meadows good.
Red clover ready to cut. The pros
poets for apples is very good, and
enough peaches on the trees Ioi
more than half a crop.
Taken altogether we feel more
like living than we did a year ago.
Respectfully,
c. A. BIRD.
