More Warm Weather Is Needed.

Saturday and Sunday were both fine warm days, the warmest we have had since April, if not the warmest of the season. The farmers were all busy in their corn fields Saturday, and as a consequence it was one of the dullest Saturday’s in Rensselaer that we have experienced in a long time. The corn is generally looking well and the weeds did not get very muefi of a start. We are now needing considerable hot weather, however, for corn. It is not now nearly as far advanced this year as last, but with the right sort of weather it will make a rapid growth. A little rain fell Monday morning and the mercury took quite a drop thereafter, ’getting down near the frost line at night. Yesterday was bright and pleasant and some warmer.
