Haying is almost over, except in the
meadows, which are quite wet as yet Much
hay has been damaged. Some of the farm
ers on the Monday before the wet weather
began cut down ten and fifteen tons of
their best grass and it was blackened up
badly. We have always found the first of
July to be the best haying weather. AL
though the grass was not fully grown, yet
the quality makes up for the quantity.
Crops are looking well. Grain is good.
Fields which were cut early have a good
second crop. We have some that will cut
ton to the acre. Lately we have been hav-
is giving them chance to clean up haying
and ripen the grain. The fields are looking
fresh and green where the grass was taken
off early and feed will be good.
