Big Crops of 1891

by James McIntyre

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/james-mcintyre_poetry

Eighteen hundred and ninety-one For good crops it leads the van; As land had blessed showers of rain, Which brought abundant crops of grain.
Not scorched with heat, the air was cool, And the ears were large and full; Forty bushel to the acre Makes flour that delights the baker.
None ever saw such crops as these, So great the yield of oats and peas; Fifty bushels to the acre Makes us grateful to our maker.
