Grain(?) harvest, detail, ca.1890-1906
 
"Harvesting is now in active progress throughout the country, and we are happy to say that the weather is most auspicious for the purpose. The oat crop is a most abundant one, the yield exceeding that of any former year. Wheat slightly affected by weeval, but average yield. Barley and other cereals are good. There is no sign of blight in potatoes, which promises to be an abundant crop. Turnips also look well. Altogether we think the prospects of the country were never better, and should cause us all to be gratefully thankful to the Giver of all good!"
- The Vindicator, Wednesday, 7 September 1864
