—The season has not been a forward one by any 
means. April and May were cold and rather 
dry, but we have had boat and rain In excess of 
our (supposed) wants lately. Many farmers are 
not yet over their corn once, and few twice. 
For fifteen days we have had rain almost daily, 
and farmer* are grumbling terribly, “The 
woods will take the corn, the rust take tlie 
wheat and the bugs the potatoes, and we will 
starve," they spy. “Dogs delight to bark and 
bite, for ’tla their nature to j” so witli many 
farmers and grumbling. We do not expect to 
starve Just yet-. Wheat will yield probably oue- 
tli rd crop, oats a good crop, and meadows are 
far ahead of last season. >SOfilO wheat and per¬ 
haps some gras* will be cut this week. The 
high price of potatoes last, year has induced 
many to plant largely this season. A neighbor 
has planted fifteen acres; finished within u few 
dajt#; used the old Peach Blow mostly in seed¬ 
ing. Th° Marly Rose and Goodrich, especially 
the former, are largely planted hereabouts.—

Cnstnlia, Winneshiek Co., Iowa, June 2*4.— 
There has been no cessation of rain in these 
parts for the last four weeks; notwithstanding 
whoat and other small grains look well, but 
corn is rather small and dollcate for this season 
of the year. Many of the farmers have not 
plowed their corn but twice, owing to the wet 
weather. Hay Is a short crop here this season, 
owing to a dry May, for tho old maxim holds 
good this time, that May makes hay. O 11 the 
low lands, however, grass will be fair to good. 
Pastures were very short In tho beginning or 
the season, on account of dry weather, but are 
rapidly improving. Wheat is being sold for 
8fic. per bushel; corn, in the car, 60c.; oats, 50(tf. 
50c.; butter, lS^USc.; eggs, 93>I0c. 1 am anew

Crops are doing well excepting wheat, which 
will not be more than one-third a crop in this 
county. Oats and barley are benefited by line 
showers, which have fallen within a few days. 
Many potatoes .ire planted; bugs vary much, 
some having many, others very few. Tlie pota¬ 
toes latest planted suffer least. Corn is look¬ 
ing well; more-than usual has been put in with 
tin: drill. Not much haying hus been done yet, 
on account of showery weather. Tho grass 
crop Is fair; new seeded Is much the best, ns it 
always is, s. a. f.
