Mr. Mansfield expects to use this variety of hay extensively next year. Farmers tell us that the dry May has practically “done” the hay crop, and no amount of rain from now on can brihg it out to an average yield, although, of course, it would help. Oats have also been damaged in spots, and wheat has been hurt considerably in ■ some places by the drought. Corn is all right and is looking fine.
