Practically all the farmers are
now cutting wheat. On account Of
the bad veather earlier in the season
il was thought that the wheat crop
would be a complete failure, that
SO per cent Of a crop would be even
surprising. The incessant rains
were veiy damaging. and 1t is true
the outlook was discouraging, but
We are glad % say in behalf OF our
many farmer friends, that the scare
came too soon, and that the yield
will be much better than was at first
expected. While the yield will not
be a large one, il is said that the
grain seems 10 be heavy. and is ma
turing nicely. The harvest was a
week late, but practically all the
farmers began cutting the first OF
the week. Il is thought that the
threshing season will open about July
fourth. Il is the earnest wish Of the
Courier thai even the present pros
pect will be smaller than the real
yield.
