shod manner, but we have hopea
of a bountiful harvest.
Oats is looking will; those
who were fortunate enough to
be able to plant in January now
have a pro pect of having some
early feed.
All who were able to get their
garden planted early are pleased
with their prospects. Ye scribe

ready for table use in a short
while.
