The dandelion crop in the court
house yard is fine. Wesley Jay, in
charge, says that he has about given
up the battle. The dandelion, like
the thistle, is a Bolshevist of the
plant tribe and it is difficult to han
die even with severe measures. The
court yard is magnificent soil for the
propagation of this type of greens"
The rain of the past week or so is
welcomed in most places, but too
much has fallen liz certain parts of
the county. The oats crop that was
badly in need of rain for a time as
well as the early garden truck has
now had sufficient. to meet the de-
mands. Pastures as well have been
stimulated and the stock and hens
will derive the benefit, also people in
general.
