John A. Bugner, a former Johns- burg boy, writes from Alvado, O., as follows: "We have nice weather here just now, after experiencing two weeks of severe cold, which seriously hampered the wheat, there being no snow on the ground when the cold spell set in, and together with thaw­ ing and freezing weather of the past few weeks has set the wheat back a whole lot. At this time it looks as if there won't be a very heavy crop of wheat this year. Last year very little wheat was raised in this sec­ tion. Only a few farmers sowed wheat, and those that did report poor crops. The corn as well as the oat crops were also very poor. The hay crop was a bumper one, going about two tons to the acre. All the wheat that I sowed last fall I sowed in corn ground, the soil being too hard and dry to plow. Considerable fall plow­ ing was done by farmers here last /all.", SOLON MILLS 1 sell farms. D. F.
