Evidently farmers are anxious to get their grass cut and v slacked, as today there appeared to be few farmers in town, although Wednesday is the usual market day. From now on till another five weeks the man on the land will need all the sunshine he can get to overtake his work, although probably many will find time to attend the A. and P. shows, etc.
