ening very fast and in some localities,
practically all of the harvesting, ex-
cept flax, has been completed. In the
hills much grain has not yet matured
and very little was harvested until
early this week. The weather is very
favorable and the chances are good

or three weeks of nice, warm weather,
much of it will mature sufficiently to
furnish good seed.
