The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1907-10-12

Monkton, N. G. r. R.-The year 1907 will
surely go down into history as remarkable for
changes in weather that prevent farmers from
accomplishing their usual work at seasonal
BILE time. 1t is now the middle of October and
on account of no spring season corn was not
matured so as to cut at the usual time and
many corn fields are still too green to cut
and rain has prevented seeding to a great ex-
tent. So it looks very much as though many
farmers would have to seed and cut corn at the
time they usually begin to husk their corn
and house it before the approach of winter
storms. With scarcity of labor and so much
work to be done in short time the good
farmers are now much rushed.
