Many of the farmers in this Sec
tion will be short in their corn crops
as the bud worms have eaten their
corn up after three times planting.
The reason for so many worms this
season is that the weather continued
cold. Many of the farmers after hav-
ing their corn crop eaten up twice,
replowed their ground and planted it
in soy beans. The tomato crop is al
so expected to be very short this sea-
son, as the black rot has done con-
siderable damage to the patches.
Wheat is not turning out very
good this season. Only a very few
farmers in this neighborhood have
threshed yet; but even those who
haven't threshed, predict a very |
short crop on account of the short
ness of head.
