The season of 1910 thus far has been
one of many difficulties for those who
are tilling the soil. There was a good
prospect in the month of March when
ideal weather conditions stimulated
the farmers to unusual eXertiOns. This
was succeeded 10y long period of cold,
wet and stormy weather which played
havoc with the fruit blooms and the
embryo field products. Along with
brief intervals of growing weather.
the drought came and in consequence
much hard labor has gone for nothing.
The heat and drought in the month of
June and fore part of July has been alb
normal and ruined many fields and
wrecked many hopes. Doubtless many
farmers are discouraged as they sum
up the result of the seasons farming
operations to date. Still there il hope.
The recent rains have benefited past
ures, oats, corn, potatoes and garden
vegetables. There is no such thing as
absolute crop failure in Wisconsin and
bad crop years are few and far be-
tween. Our farmers should cheer up.
1t will be time enough to mourn, if
there should be occasion for mourning,
when ''the harvest is past and summer
is ended"
