A Week of Fine Weather At Last.

We have been having splendid weather all week and the corn has been making a very rapid growth indeed. There are quite a number of very good looking fields of corn in this vicinity, and a good many fields that look quite bad. The ground being so wet that it was impossible -to get in to cultivate it and it had become very weedy indeed. That which was planted early and os higher and better drained ground is generally looking well and no doubt will turn out a good yield. Many of the fields that were too wet to plantj at all are being put to various uses. Some few have been planted to navy beans, some to soy beans, some to cow peas, some to millet and hungarian, some to buckwheat and some feW will probably not be utilized at all where the farmers have too much other work all coming in a bunch to get time to sow or plant the ground.
