News From Como
The war clouds and their long in- '
essant patter of rain has almost '
bliterated the smile of satisfied
ountenances of our farmers. The
irediction that this season that '
i on us now resembles so much the
lemorable yea- of 1867, has almost '
nade the most optimistic to think
eriously of such an event being
ossible. Again the great desert of '
reen stuff i. e. kale, cabbage, tur- J
ilps and salad has put another '
rrinkle in their already furrowed 1
irows.
