over the county is that crops are not
yet hurt. The oats are giving excel
lent promise for crop and are al
ready pushing farmers reluctantly
from the hay field to cutting them.

frost in corn as it still continues to
grow and not push ahead as fast as
| would be liked. But the evidence in the
past has been that continued spring
and late summer as we have had
makes very late fall and scientists
are prophesying that frosts will hold
off this fall, giving corn ample time to
ripen.
Jay Lancelot has resigned his posi-
ton in the creamery up by Manning,

and hustlers. The one essential of all
IN this line of work is to close ones
eyes to all else only mother earth and
never see or talk much else. This fall
we believe will be one Of the banner
ones for transfers. We could give sew
erai reasons why this will be true but
the prospects are such that everyone
can see that the climax has not vet
been reached in prices. AT any rate
we prophesy good and at least lucra-
tive future for the new firm.
