Farmers Complaining of the Dry Weath er Condition of Orchards, Special to The Commercial: Warsaw, N. May 31. Farmers In Wyoming connty are complaining of the sertonS drought, It being much drier than at this time one year ago. Inyplowlag, bottom of the furrow is dusty, so dry is the ground. There has been no rain of conseqnence for nearly two months.

Farmers are delaying In putting in their bean crop until there has been more rMn and for the same reason 1 are holding back in planting potatoes. i It was thought the tent caterpillars had received a quietus by the recent cold weather, but at the present time they do not appear to have lost any of their old-time vitality, for they are more numerous than ever. The work of the canker-worm Is Just becoming apparent among the foliage of the apple trees and spraying is being resorted to In order to be rid of the pests. Owing to the cold weather this spring the acreage of oats usually sown in this section will be considerably lessened. Memorial Bay exercises In Warsaw passed off with satisfaction, although there was a great scarcity of flowers on account of the dry weather.

The services at the -Warsaw Union school lawn were according to the program and some sixty veterans of the Civil war were In the procession, escorted by the Warsaw fire department, and preceded by the Twentieth Century Drum Corps. At the cemetery the practice of decorating the graves of other than the veterans was observed to a greater extent than ever 1: i IBX LATE W1LLAKD A. COBB.
