Two poor, half-fledged fern-owls were brought me: they were found out in the forest among the heath.  Farmer Hewet of Temple cut 30 acres of wheat this week.  This wheat was lodged before it came into ear, & was much blighted.  It grew on low grounds: the wheat on the high malms at Temple is not ripe.
