It would be difficult to eelimate the value of last week's rain to the farni-of this and adjoining country. Many of the farmers had reported as having lost their entire crou, but received encouragement wnen the rain came. Some who were planning to replant their corn crop are now enjoying a vacation because suoh is not necessary. land is level and good improvements could be made. Mr.

Lane does not particularly care to pait with the land but appears to be willing to let the city ha.v it for the purpose of making ark.
