Wheat crop reports and a New England parish bargain tale
The article notes official figures on crop conditions, with a cautious update from the Agricultural Department about wheat losses, chiefly in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and other crops showing varied prospects. It also recounts a Vermont anecdote about Deacon Spooner negotiating a pensioned “all fired hard bargain” while building church window frames, ending with the deacon accepting twenty dollars and keeping conscience intact.
