Some new hay was seen here on the
streets the other day. Cut worms
are reported to have done consider
able damage in places to corn and
fax. but except for this there is but
little complaint of either weather or
crop conditions. Winter wheat has
done quite well in spots, but did not
come in others and some fields have
been plowed up. Other small grains
have never been better here. Farmers
generally feel jubilant over the pros
poets.
