Column 2MAY 30. -- Another light shower last evening, still for grass and oats we need more rain. Corn is doing splendid, many farmers going over it the third time. Wheat is coming on rapidly but I hardly think it will be so tall or thick on the ground as last year. Oats have not thickened up as they sometimes do. Scarcely enough rain to boom them.

Dr. Rhea is probably Levi Jackson Rhea.
