The prospects for a good cunning
season in BrOadkiln hundred is very
encouraging at this time. There have
been no heavy rains to drown the
young birds and rabbits. A drive along
the roads about sundOwn shows to
one many young rabbits and quail
playing in the roads. In former years
dogs were allowed to roam at will
and many rabbits were killed by them,
but this year owners of dogs, realiz-
ing the fact that more game is killed
by these dogs than are killed by gun
ners, are keeping their dogs in leash.
Bud worms are playing havoc with
the young corn, and many fields have
had to be replanted. The hot dry wea-
ther is blamed for the number of
these pests.
Wheat is ripening fast in this vicin-
ity and harvest will be about a week
earlier than last year.
Blackberries are ripening and next
week will see the beginning of the
harvest of this crop. The vines are
well set with berries and the crop
will be a large one. Raspberries are
ripening and in two weeks growers
will begin their shipment.
