weather Some fields have been COW
/ cred with water and it will take many
days to dry the ground. It is feared
I that lima beans and potatoes have
rotted in the ground and will have
to be replanted, thus making the
/ crops late. This is the season for
/ planting corn, but the wet weather
has prevented the work being done.
The strawberry crop will be very
late, and thus far no berries have
appeared in the local market. 1t is
thought a few will be picked toward
the end of the week, but this will not
be done unless weather conditions
improve considerably.
Wheat is looking unusually well and
a good yield is expected.
The early white potato crop is ex-
pected to be short, as the low prices
during the winter gave no encourage
ment to the growers. More, however,
may be planted for the late crop.
Butter has declined considerably
and is now selling at forty cents
pound. This is said to be the result
of the extra supply by reason of the
cows being at pasture. The pastures
are a great saving for the owners of
cattle as feed was short during the
winter.
