But these countrywide conditions Of
wind and weather are, after all, only
q part Of the gamble by the farmer
Insects fight his fruits and grain from
the beginning Of summer until the
frost, II early still another enemy,
comes to relieve him. Local weather
Is also an important factor. Corn may
easily be checked In It's maturing
weeks by incessant showers, or may
be stunted by lack of moisture. Oats
IN the harvesting are delicate things
to handle. Too much rain means de-
lay in housing the cereal and too
much dry weather means destruction
to the corn and other cereals in the
very next field Altogether, the far
mer's life Is not enc of unalloyed
bliss. He gets no summer vacation
and must not only expose himself to
all the elements with unremitting toll,
but must do these things under the
haunting fear that some peculiar and
freakish vagary Of the weather will
come along and sweep most of his
profits away in single day.
