among the residents of a community
| in the matter of crop estimates. Ev-
| cry village and town has its optimist
who sees certain indications of a bum
per crop and every neighborhood con-
| tains man just as certain that yields
will be light. The question is only
| settled definitely when the threshing
| bill is figured UP or the last load of
| corn shoveled into the crib. The pres
| rule, estimates both optimistic and
| otherwise having been given the wide
circulation always accorded such re-
ports. The following received from
several different counties are given,
| not as extraordinary yields, but as
| averages and indicate that small grain
