BOWERS.

Since the rains have subsidized we have
had warm clear weather and the farmers
through the farming section have availed
themselves of every hour practically
speaking to get their wheat threshed and
in their barns While they were greatly
depressed and much concerned about the
condition of their wheat standing in the
fields in shocks, their fears have been
greatly dispellvd as they hnd that their
wheat is in better condition than they at
first expected So far as they have got
ten along with their thTeshing they find
that the grain any of it is not damaged
and thes are getting what teh deem an
/ extra yielp or at least above the former
years. With continuance of the pres
ent weather conditions they will have
their wheat in store by the end of the
week.
