CROPS RATHER SHORT

Along the Kankakee This Year Says Farmer John Brown. John Brown says much threshing is already done along the Kankakee the early seeded wheat is going from ten to twen-ty-five' bushels to the acre, and much of the late sowing was not worth cutting. He figures that there will be about half as much harvested on the marsh this year as there was last season. Some fields of corn he believes will be nearly out of the way of frost by September Ist, and some will need the entire month to fully mature. The rain last Sunday came' in time to save much of the crop there, as it had already began to fire and curl.—Crown Point Star.
