stand because it was not planted deep
enough for such a dry year, also that
his early corn fired pretty badly.
mo one expected such dry sum-
mer," said he, "or most corn would
have been planted deeper, at least

said, "but it is surprising how blue

toes bloomed after the fall OF late
rains and we gathered a small crop
of good tubers late in the fall. TINS

weather hangs on long enough, fol
our potatoes did not bloom this sum

good just now, also that his blue grass
showed the benefits of the late rains
