1,924

The Year of 1,924 will be long remembered by farmers. The weather seemed to have decided to make a record. A bad one too and it made one. Corn sowing was done at intervals fom the middle of March to the middle of May a lot of it under unfavorable conditions. Turnip sowing was a very similar job. Haymaking was worse & the corn harvest took the biscuit. Roots are a fair crop but very weedy. Potatoes bulky but very bad. Prices for corn are better than last year. About the same for stock. Pigs very cheap. Sheep a little dearer. Wool much dearer.
