.eady plowed up their fields.

'een nine fine crops gathered. %
he 22 Of June the temperature read
d 100 and continued at that and %

vas never known there before.
Already most of the wheat fels
re plowed up. We also raise q p
{ flax: oats and barley are raised ,
mall quantities for feeding paf
oses. Jas. Hill advertised that
