Saw Lots of Poor Corn.

Mr. and Mrs. Joe Nagel and sons John and Joseph and daughter Lucille, autoed to Lafayette Tuesday, returning Wednesday. They went via Montmorenci and returned by Brookston and Chalmers. Mr. Nagle Bays the hay and oats crop is excellent over the routes traveled, but there is ’a whole lot of awfully poor corn, in fact half of the corn does not look as though it could ever mature even though ty-ost holds off until very late. In some places he saw farmers in their fields plowing corn yet, the last day of July, too.
