The weather for the past week has
not been conducive to maturing the
corn crop and many farmers predict
less than half crop OF this main crop.
The weather continues wet and cold
and shreshing progresses slowly and
much wet grain is the result. How
ever the oats are turning out much bet
ter than expected and the wheat is far
below the average both in quantity and
quality Potatoes except an OCCASION
al piece are an almost total failure. APP
pies are more plentiful than first re-
ported and of excellent quality. Taking
the situation in it's entirety and it is
not SO bad as many would make out.
