OATS CROP QUITE PROMISING

Considerable wind, showers and cool weather have prevailed, the past few days. A couple of nice rains fell Monday that caused the to drop to about 40 degrees. There has been very little sunshine for over a week, but according to the government weather prediction warmer weather is due today. The week’s weather forecast for the Great Lakes region and Ohio valley reads as follows- “ Unsettled and cool; probably rains first half of week, followed by generally warmer after Wednesday.” However, even though this kind of weather be a trifle unpleasant it is highly satisfactory in that the oats are more promising than they have been at this time for many years.
