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.
