Long, grey, days with cool weather,
has been the rufe since November came.
While not very cold, and thawing some
every day there is still some of the snow
still remaining in the more sheltered
places and enough in the roads to make
bad travelling. Some threshing has
been going on this week, but with poor
results as more or less snow and ice is
mixed with the grain. In the case of
barley especially it will be difficult to
keep it from heating. A good freeze
would help some as it would let the
machines get around without miring.
