The hay crop promises to be
the biggest in years, and farmers
are already worrying for fear much
of it will lodge and be ruined before
the season is ripe to cut it. The
clover crop especially is really a
source of wonder on account of it's
dense growth and some farmers will
be obliged to haul it to other fields
in order to cure it when ready to
cut, as there1l not be room on the
ground to scatter it upon. Along
the railroad tracks and highways
clover is found in abundance. The
! protection given the roots and seed
by the heavy coat of snow during
the winter is said to be accountable
in large measure for the great
clover crop and the abundant
spring rains were also beneficial.
