Agatha writes of a perfect Fourth of July in Washington
In a warm weekly letter Agatha recalls knee high corn and skirt high beans as a cool spell gives way to heat. She describes sunny picnics family reunions and crowded Sunset Park with expanded facilities. Fireworks light the sky with legal shows near the county club while illegal bursts disturb late night peace.

The Week on the Farm Outlook and Market Signals
The week on the farm describes maturing wheat ready for harvest, rising grain quality standards, and demand for high protein milling varieties. It notes haying, improving crop appearance, most corn laid by, soybeans near full bloom, and replanting progress with rain as a useful aid. Market prices suggest slightly lower yields than last year but higher planted area, plus a favorable hog market outlook for several months, with caution on feed grain supply.
