Usually the dry wrather that we have hara hi in the summer time This year it wa* in the spring time. Far several weeks now it haa bean so dry as to aukr the outlook far a crop diHouniinr. Many contend that the crop is permanently injured, while most folks think there Is plenty of time to make a fall crop of most thine* planted hara. The wheat is almost made and reports from many sections say that N is good. The dry weather has awds much of it head law, bat it is wall filled with train. Oats and gnrdea track are badly hit by the lack of moisture. On Monday there fall for several hours a gentle downpour that flushed the streams and mad* the land too wet to plow. Now the folks ara rejoicing and look hopefully to the future. Say what yon pi saw about this part of the country being the garden spot 'of the world, the fact remains that wa have so many extremes of weather that It is often discouraging to • farmer to work. Many • year ha sees a drouth of ten days cut his crop in half, and some years not a fourth of a crop is made. Those adverse conditions ara causing many farmers to think seriously of going into other lines of business. Many have already done this. Those who art leading our people say that when we learn to enrich our soil and plow deep ara will get ritof much of the Iocs from the lack of moisture. Wa have all this to do yet.
