.an -excellent crop, and most of them are
in geed eider, though there is yet consid-
erable in the field. Several have peas in
the field yet, and many are shelling them
oot.in the 'field in order to save them; they
are an excellent yield. •A few day s of fine
weather would see all the crops housed,
and a good crop at that. Potatoes are
stria% owing to the dry weather early in
the season. The bugs have done consid-
erable damage to them: It would pay
farmers to look after them better, as the
bugs are decidedly getting the best Of it
