smouldering ruins. Mr. Kern was also

Farmers are complaining of the
hardness of the ground, so soon after
the abundance of moisture witli which
we have been blessed; not on account
of dryness, but because the ground has
been beaten down and packed so by the
rain. Some cornfields are looking like
green fields, and it is not the corn that
causes the green look, either. We
know of several who are not yet done
planting and others who will not get
done this year. This is on some very low
bottom land. Corn planted is growing
nicely except what was washed out;
and we know and hear of some grow
ing in the crib, and attaining a good
growth.
Now and then a load of corn strays
into market here, but very little is
headed this way these days as the new
crop needs some attention. We hope
we are not treading on anyone's corns
by "these few remarks," but you see
we must acknowledge the 'corn."
