Central Maine League Standing.
Hayinq and Rainy.

The rear of the drive gone by and hay
Ing not nearly over! Who ever heard of
a combination like that in this section of
the Kennebec valley before? No Oldest
resident has yet been heard from who cal,
cite a year when there has been more
trouble with the hay crop. a man VINO
has been over east says that the farmers
over that way are having no end of troy
BILE with the hay that they have housed
and with that which is still out. Some
were too anxious to get their hay under
cover and 1t was hot and caused trou-
BILE in the barns. Some have been obliged
to pitch over their mows several times
There is a good deal of grass still
standing in this vicinity and those conf
ing from other parts of the State tell the
same story-they see fields uncut every
where. Large quantities have been wet
and blackened by the rain and have been
housed in poor condition. A good guam
tity is cut and still on the ground wait
ing for a chance to dry between the
showers and rain storms. Meanwhile
the grain is coming right along and it
looks as if haying and harvesting would
overlap. The man who had been Owe
east also reported that they are having
trouble up in Aroostook with their pota !:
toes. There has been some rOtting and
much danger of more unless the weather
takes a decided change for the better.
There used to be good ola FARMER up
in that county who was considerable OF
u pessimist. He made a good living on
the whole and laid by bit now and then
but somehow he usually looked at things
through blue glasses.
Usually along toward spring when any
of his neighbors asked him how things
were going he would reply. miserable,
miserable. CattleS- all starving and not
a seed to put in the ground" Things
are probably not quite so bad as that
with the farmers in this vicinity nov
but you couldn't blame one SO very much
if he looked al 'em that way.
But they say the apple crop is going to
be fair, this fall. 1t probably won't be u
record breaker but just about the aver
age. and good prices are expected. 1t
looks as if there'd be about enough to
keep the market strong and apple money
may fill some holes in the hay NOW be-
fore spring. It's raincd so much of late
that a good many rather think the
weather clerk has got so he really don t
know when it is raining. II he did. ii
really seems as if he would shut off some
of it for few hours once in while.
And the weather signs! Why, it's
safe betting that there isn't single one
in Kennebec county with its reputation
all sound and tight. If there is one that
hasn't failed it would make big money
on exhibition any old where. Even those
that came over in the Mayilower couldn' t
get trusted for clay pipe.
