have weather conditions which make
blowing and seeding possible. Meth
err can be done in the rain,-or In the
mud which remains for day or two
after the rain ceases.
Ia my own case my fertilizers have
been ready, my teams and tools have
been ready, my hired man and l have
been ready ny seeds have been ready
for three weeks. But the weather
isn't ready,-and that settles it With
the best disposition in the world to do
a little more in the way of food pro
duction than ever before, with all
plans and preparations made Tor II
and with all necessary expenses in
Cured, we simply hang around in, the
rain and wait, helpless to do anything
else; seeing, with the dawn of each
sour black day, the shipping away In
to impo ssibility of another hope.
A neighbor who had nerved himself
up to the point of putting in an ex-
oned it: too much else to do and too
little time, now. to do it.
Another neighbor has had to give
ali hope of raising oats. The time for
profitable oat sowing in this latitude
| has already passed. and his big field is
| still so soft that it canrot be plowed.
| Indeed, he tells Y1e what he doesn't

with no load, without being mired.
Now. want to serve notice. right

| gardeners of the country are in any

| They can neither plant nor grow
crops unless the weather assents and

may water,-if the weather permits

thing in the snow and the rain and

But expect next fall. If there is a

| with seedlings and clapper- clawings
| because we have failed to do our duty,
IT'S SO much easier to find fault with
somebody else than it is to do that
somebody's work that we can't expect
/ ordinarily lazy folks to preternnit their
| fauit-fnding function, merely because
| it is unjust.
| But it does seem a bit hard for us to

doing it. as If what we can't help were

Now doesn't IT.

who have abolished the devil would

of April and May, they would be help
