b. III. %Strothers. living northwest
of Mitchell, has a large field OF corn
which. he says is going to be the best
crop of corn that he ever raised on
the place-if the frost holds off long
enough. He said that with nothing
intervening between now and its
maturing the corn ought TO yield
him at least so bushels to the acre,
and perhaps even more than that.
The report on corn in general
throughout the country is of the
most encouraging character aid that
a tine crop is in prospect now
Geo. q. Silsoy said that he re-
cejved a letter TODAY from the firm
which made his enameled bri TX stat
ing that they could not furnish him
any more brick Of that character at
the present time, so he has decided
to 90 ahead and finish the front with
the brick that he has on hand, hut
which will have 20 be cut down
about tbree-eiphths Of an inch to con-
form to the size required 30 carry
out the design. In the cutting Of
the brick there is danger in breaking
the enamel at the wrong place and
spelling the brick, but under the
circumstances there is no other
course.
r. N. Getman, one of the rural
route mail carriers, says thai on his
route through the southeastern part
of the country and thence over north
OF Riverside, that the farmers
are nearly through stacking their
wheat and that they have already
commenced making hay. In that
section he said the hay crop is the
best he ever saw it in this country,
the upland hay being just as heavy
as the lowland. The same report is
true IN all parts of the country and
one OF the largest hay crops will be
grown this year than eyel before.
