A hay crop at least as large as last year’s recbrd of 106.5 million tons appears likfely. And for the country as a whole, pas ture conditions in June were rated relatively high.

He says that Bill Lindsey and Lige Henry were fishing on Doug Baker’s fish pond. After sitting for a long time on the bank, they got up, and Just then a big snake dived into the pond, then stuck his head out of the water, gasping for breath. It seems that Bill had been sitting on the snake for thirty minutes.—"Dirty Digs” in the Tallahassee (Ala.) Tribune. We’d all like to be skillful at ath lete*, but unfortunately, we aren't all endowed with the necessary at tributes, so, we must get our ath letic satisfaction vicariously. When our ‘Town” team wins, we share a portion of their glory—but (and this is unfortunate from the stand point of the participating athlete), we can deny any connection when the team loses, thus avoiding any of the responsibility of defeat.—Eu fanda (Ala.)

As this is written, it’s been three weeks, since a rain in this area. Nights have been muggy, and sleep fitful. Despite all this, I'm sitting here thinking noble thoughts . . . Like that local radio stations should look ^ into hiring more physically handi capped persons . . . like deaf mutes for disk jockeys, for instance. Then, later on, when everyone realized how great was ^ie improvement, maybe the present yakity-yak fel lows they’re using on the early morning programs could be con verted to the new silent models. —"Tales of The Town" in The Se ville (Ohio) Chronicle.
