Just what the hay crop will be in
this part of Somerset county is a little
uncertain at this writing. Rain is bad
ly needed and unless it comes soon the
grass. a few farmers have already
commenced haying. but the majority
are waiting for rain. 1t is estimated
that the crop as 1t stands at present
will be from two-thirds to three quar-
tiers what 1t was last year. With a two
days soaking rain it would be greatly
increased While showers have passed
over this town in all directions none
have struck here. Gardens and lawns
are suffering from the want of water
as well as all kinds of crops. In some
parts of the county the grass was win
ter killed by reason of the absence of
snow until late. OF course rain will do
this land no good az the grass roots are
killed. Whether rain comes or not
many farmers will commence haying
next week, although some will wait a
little while longer. The season general
ly will be late. 49,. d.. .,''
