a visit to the Hartman stock farm
four miles south of Columbus. He re-
ports that on this farm they have
turned under 1900 acres of wheat,
which had been so severely dealt with
| by the weather the past winter as to
make that crop failure. In its place
corn has been planted and a good
crop Is expected in spite of the fact
that summer weather so far has not
been very warm. He also reports that
crops all over the state are suffering
considerably because the weather has
been cool and thus retarding growth,
that the section lying between Freder.
icktown and Chesterville has been
more favored than any other locality
thus far in the matter Of warmth and
the corn and other crops are cOnse.
quently more advanced than at any
other points.
