Late Farming start.

Late Fafmtng SthFts
 Well, this year we are late in start ing our crops, without a doubt said a well known Montgomery County farm

This year there is more true reason for the complaint than ever pe- fore. In all my experience l doni pc lieve there has been such bad spring. It has simply been impossible to get the ground in condition for planting; On some of the clay and t sahdy th armsrs aanH :s have gotten in little corn, but in the prairies not even that much has been done And to make bad matters worse, many farmers between showers Droke up some land and sowed their guano. When the heavy rains of March came along, this was washed away and they suffered heavy heavy loss los oood cron year is altogether bad.
