Crop reports throughout this section
continue to be satisfactory and If weather
conditions are fairly favorable from this
on there will he a bumper crop of corn,
and a good yield of potatoes, the tubers
In most fields having %recuperated rapidly
from the freezing weather in early June.
The hay crop, which is now practically
all gathered was far beyond Q expectations,
the average being from one and a half to
two and a half ons to the acre. At one
time 1t looked as though the meadows
would not make de ,ent pasture lots. The
oat crop, which Is o about "out Of the
woods,'' as II we're, will be far ahead OF
anything In that line in years past, some
Of 1t having already been laid 10 swath.
1t only remains now for the buck wbest
crop to save the day later on, and with a
fair yield of hogs at b%utchering time we
ought to pull through the winter and
come out In the spring in fairly decent
shape.
