Pasturage. 



Pasturage got a good start in the spring and came through 

 the hot, dry weather surprisingly well. The showers came 

 most opportunely in most localities, and with the recent rains 

 pastures should be in the best of condition at the date of 

 issue. 



Small Grains. 



Rye was a fair average crop, but oats are generally off in 

 condition, with numerous complaints of rust. Barley is little 

 grown, except as a forage crop, and in that capacity promises 

 well.
