cool nights and mild days combined
with the soaking storms have given
nature new lease of life. Where
some fields appeared entirely dried
up fortnight ago, there is now an
abundance of feed, and in many
cases grain has also picked up to an
equally marvellous extent Every
farmer agrees that the corn crop will
be better than usual, and wheat in
many places will be equally good
oats perhaps a little behind, and fiaN
locking better than ever before.
Sam Birks of this city, owner Of a
farm northeast of here, will harvest
800 tons of notify alcnc, to say
nothing of his other crops. Two
weeks ago he thought the timothy
crop would be an almost total loss.
Fruits of all kinds will be an eX-
cellent crop, of course, as there have
been on hard rains, WINDS or hail
storms this year. Plums are already
being gathered and are a most eN-
icellent crop, and in many places in
and about Huron it has been neces-
sary to cut off limbs from apple trees
that were overloaded with fruit.
