Produce continues to come in in small

little since our last. Good wheat is
worth 81 cents at the depot and oats
find a ready sale at q cents
The number of acres sown to wheat in
this county during the present spring
will, we think, exceed that of last year.
Thus far, however, the weather has
been very unfavorable to its growth.
The ground is so dry as to almost check
vegetation, and unless we are favored
with rain soon the prospect for wheat
will be very poor. We have not had
good rain for several months.
