Bruce Porter Writes From Mitchell “Crops are Fine.”

Bruce Porter wrote to his nephew, Dr. A. R. Kresler, under date of July 24th that he arrived home two weeks prior to that date and found everything in good shape. He had since cut 50 acres of wheat and all the oats were also in shock. Many are saying that wheat will turn out better than last year, while oats are a little light, but still a pretty good crop. A big rain had taken place the Wednesday before and corn was looking fine. In a note appended Monday before the letter was mailed, he stated that another nice rain occurred that morning. Evidently things about .Mitchell are in fine shape.
