FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH DAY

Yesterday was Friday and the 13th, and in harmony with' this fact rain commenced falling during the early morning hours and the forenoon was quite dismal indeed While we have been having rather cool weather for the past week, and especially so at night when the mercury has dropped to about GO degrees, growing crops, have been doing fine and corn has grown much faster than it would seem possible with the temperature we have had. Rye harvest and haying will be in full blast next week, with wheat and oats harvest closely following The oats are generally very heavy and tall, and it’s going to take considerable more twine than usual .to. hind therm. The weather has been very favorable indeed for oats all season and the straw should be well filled and bumper crops harvested.
