JOHNSON.

 better. The season has been very peculiar, being warm in March and 

 part of April and then cold weather set in. Hard frosts killed most of 

 the fruit buds.

 fields were replanted and the late fall made it possible for the corn to 

 mature well.

Wheat — Winter wheat yielded fine; yielding from twenty-five to forty- 

 five bushels per acre. 



Rye — The yield was good but there was not as much sown as usual.
