In a drive across' the county some few days ago, we made up our mind that the prospects for a good wheat crop in that country was as good as we had ever noticed in that county, And the same may be said of most of the wheat fields 'in the vicinity of Armstrong. Unless the wheat bas injured in some way to keep it from filling we see no reason why there should not be a bumper crop of wheat in this locality and with the promise of big prices for the wheat the farmers will have another year of prosperity; So mote it Herald.
