Rain is interfering with the work
of the Broadkiln farmers and the
wheat crop is threatened. Wheat has
been cut but yet remains in the
shock, exposed to the heavy rains.
and it is feared that much of the
grain will be damaged. In most Sec
tions il has been impossible to get
into the fields of corn for cUltiva-
tion. with the result that weeds and
grass are threatening to choke out !
the corn plants. or at least retard !
their growth.
Red clover, cut for hay. is lying in
unless the rains cease soon this i'm
portant crop will be total loss.
Early potatoes, despite the rains.
are promising and the prospect for
a normal crop is very good. In low
spots in some fields water is stand
ing and causing the tubers to rot.
