JOE M'COY, INDIANOLA, OCTOBER 15, 1914. 



General Condition of Crops and Season — The first part of the crop 

 season was fine. Plenty of moisture up to July 1st, then turned very dry. 

 Small grain was good but corn only about one-half a crop. 



Corn — About one-half crop and the continued wet weather of late is 

 putting the quality down. 



Oats — A pretty good crop.
