Crop Report
The
harvest of this year was on the whole good. The summer had been very dry but
not hot. The weather during the harvest was fine but during the later part of
the time dull. Wheat is in nearly all cases good, barley very good. Oats are
mostly good. Some large yields were obtained in several cases. A report was
current that 100 qrs of barley was thrashed in a day at Muston. All kinds of
corn are in good dry condition except when leading was commenced too early when
considerable heating occurred. Cases of stacks having to be turned were quite
common. Hay crops were good. Potatoes & Turnips very good.
