Butler County Crop Report

Greenville, July 31.-(Special.)-The
farmers of the county state that never
in the history of the county will there be
as large a yield of peas and velvet
beans as they now have prospects for.
So thick are the velvet beans vines in
some of the fields where they were
planted between the corn that they will
make the harvesting of the corn a very
difficult proposition
The grain crops of all kinds in this
county are in healthy condition and large
yields will be made. The young corn has
been greatly damaged, however, by the
recent excessive rains.
The prospects for cotton are not as
good as when last report was made, The
weevil has made great progress, and the
heavy rains have greatly injured the
crop. 1t is thought by some that the loss
will be over Is per cent as first reported.

FARMERS SHORT OF HELP.
Report That They Cannot Get Their
Planting Done.

BOSTON, May 10. - Two serious
drawbacks are reported by the farm
ers this spring to the state board of
agriculture. One of them is that the
season is so slow to develop that the
farm work is far behind. Fields that
should have been planted have not
even been plowed. The ground has
been too wet for cultivating, and what
has been cultivated is too cold for
seeding.
The second drawback is the unusual
scarcity of labor. Farmers are accus-
toned to receive calls at this time
from city gentlemen who will conde-
scend to abandon their life of leisure
| among charitable friends for a while
to help the rural population raising a
new crop; but this spring every elias
of men seems to have been absorbed
! by the industries. There is nobody left
| for the farmers. The labor situation in
the country is 50 discouraging this
/ spring, it is reported, that the farmers
are curtailing their planting both fol
want of help now and for fear that
! they will not have adequate hell
when harvest time comes.

j. NJ. Avres, Bennington health of
ficcr, and Richard F. Rawson, assistant
treasurer of the Bennington county
savings bank, left the village Thursday
evening with the intention of passing
the night at Camp Killdeer in the Dun
vile notch. They didn 4 do it. When
about 100 rods from the main highway
they encountered a she bear in the
road and as Mama Bruin was not in a
peaceful mood the two mixers returned
to the farm house of Eleazer Pellerin
where they remained until morning.
it was about 1870 clock at night
when the two men reached the june
ton of the Woodford and Dunville
roads. They had hardly made the turn
into the notch when they heard the
crying of two animals which they later
learned were two young cubs.
The disturbance apparently came
from point near the bank of the
stream and Mr.. Ayres picked up sever
nj small stones from the road.
One of the stones he threw in the
direction of the noise. He didn t throw
the other pebble for at that instant q
bear, which Mr.. Avres says looked
about as large as a hiPpopotamus
/ crawled under a fence and walked into
/ the middle of the road.
The health officer threw the second
/ stone at the bear which shook its head
and made remarks which the two mer
/ were unable to understand but which
/ they realized were not at all friendly.
The men were provided with electric
flashlights with which they were abb

was no longer ia sight but the cub
were still crying in the brush along tn
bank Of the brook. Realizing that tn,
