delivered to Mr.. Haight. In settle

isfactory as to the amount and also as

The long continued dry weather has
prematurely ripened the small grain
and FASTENED the harvest in many To-
calities of the state, while the millions
of grasshoppers that have invaded the
fields, cutting off the heads of the
grain, has also prompted farmers to
hurry along the work lest large por-
ton of the grain be left on the ground.
Threshing has commenced in a few
cases and the yield is not up to the
usual standard and the grain rather
light in weight. All other crops and
pasturage are suffering severely from
the drouth.
