The annual drouth is on again
in the east and many sections are
suffering severely. The corn and
potato crops will be failures unless
relief comes soon. In fact, the
potato crop in many places has
been damaged to the extent that a
small yield will be harvested and
in some places there will not be
any crop to harvest, which ought
to predict good stiff price for
every spud We grow in Colorado
this year.
