During the last week we have
had alternate rain and sunshine,
but the farmers have managed to
get in a great deal of valuable labor
on the crops. The reports from
the fields are gloomy enough,
though that IS a very customary
thing at this season of the year.
We have faith in the industry and
intelligent labor of Monroe county
farmers pulling through a disastrous
spring. as they have done on so
many occasions in the past, and
that the final result will be better
than is now frequently predicted.
