The Crops.

A wonderful change has taken place in
the appearance of the crops in the past
ten DAYS. Wheat is heading out finely
and in many instances there are full
crops. The general average is about
hall crop. Grass has materially i'm
proved, but not over hall crop can be
made. The corn is looking well and has
come up finely. The biggest change is In
the oat crop, which promises well now
The best crop of oats in this section il
that of MIR. NJ. S. Chancellor on his
farm three miles from THE city, and tn,
