Administrators of a Long Island
estate have been searching 12 years

In Australia. , He ran away from

age, and has never since been home,
but will return soon and take posses-
give their 'mid-spring recital in thejsion of an estate valued at $90,000.
E. L. Smith, who returned yester
day after an extensive trip over prac
tically all of the county north of this
place and some portions to the east,
takes a much more hopeful view of
the crop situation than has been gen
erally shared so far. In speaking of
the conditions as he found them Mr.
Smith said:
"In my opinion the prospects for
the coming season are fully as good
as usual, and I see no reason so far
why a good crop should not be har
vested next summer. In most of the
cases where fall wheat was frozen
the land has already been reseeded
and the grain Is again up and Is
looking fine."
According to Mr. Smith very little
land where wheat was frozen was al
lowed to go without reseedlng, and
consequently he does not believe a
shortage will result from lack of re
seedlng as has been prophesied. .Even
fields in which patches of the grain
were ruined by the cold weather have
been reseeded where necessary.
Because of cultivation necessitat
ed by the reseedlng the land has been
thoroughly worked again, and as a
result will be free from weeds. The
only difference this year will be that
there will be a greater proportion of
spring grain than usual, which seldom
holds out as well as does the fall
grain. However, the weather during
the past few weeks has been so en
tirely favorable for the seeding and
growth of the cereal that the pros
pects are now exceptionally bright.
However, one drawback incidental
to reseedlng, according to Mr. Smith,
is, that owing to the labor required
for It, farmers will not be able to give
as much attention as usual to work
ing their summer fallow, and there
by a disadvantage may result to the
crop of the following year.
In many respects Mr. Smith con
siders the present situation very simi
lar to that of three years ago. At
that time he had 2300 acres in wheat
north of this place, and it became
necessary to reseed a great portion.
However, when harvest came about
65,000 bushels were harvested in spite
of the alleged "Injury," and conse
quently he was well satisfied.
A very large cougar which had kill
ed many sheep, has been killed 19
miles east of Cottage Grove.
