Excessive rains have caused the
farmers to get behind with their
work. Harvesting grain is about
over. The general report is that
the grain crop is good. When We
say grain it must be understood that
we mean oats. Our people have
just begun to realize that they must
make their -four at home. The man
who lives at home is the only one
who does not feel the burden of
high prices. The corn crop is very
promising. We notice that Col. E.
