Farmers in this locality, though hindered by the catchy Weather in getting in their crops, have much reason to rejoice in their good prOSpects, when compared with other places in Ontario. Be- tween Chatham and Windsor, along the line of the Grand Trunk Railway, the ground is still in a fearful condition, much of it lying under Water and yet unsown. and in some places unploughed. The crops in North Kent and North Essex are not at all promising In the southern part of Essex where the land is somewhat higher, the prospects are much better, but later than usual. There, too, .the weather was wet, but the land dried faster on account of its roll- ing nature.
