BUMPER CROPS CERTAIN.

The greatest body blow the kaiser
is receiving right now is the abund-
ant crops evident in all sections of
the country. Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Illinois, all tell the same story.
The corn and small grains are fine in
Grant county although somewhat
backward due to the cool weather.
In central Illinois corn is knee high.
In southern Illinois it is waist high.
In Kentucky and Tennessee it is head
high! Every place the corn looks
fine. Southern Illinois and adjacent
states have completed cutting an
immense crop of wheat. Work is I'M
der way on other small grains.
