Most farmers have a piece of low ground some where on their farms which they leave to the last honing for dry weather. and it looks at present as if some of those fields will scarcely be seeded. It is bad enough without having some fields left out altogether to have crops shrink through the dry weather from forty acres at seed time to about twenty-five or thirty on the day of threshing as they often do unless the farmers happen to be good ones in every sense of the word.
