Some Real Summer at Last.

Since Tuesday we have been having real “good old summer-time” weather, with the mercury up in the 9tPs in the shade. Corn, where not damaged by the recent heavy rains, is coming up nicely and some fields will be ready next week to plow for the first time. Some fields planted before the rains were damaged so badly that they are being planted over. A comparatively small acreage was planted, especially in the central and north half of the county before the big rains, and it was not until the middle of the present week that the ground had dried out enough in most places to permit working. Much corn yet remains to be planted, but if this good weather continues the most of it will be put in by the end of next week.
