Replanted most vegetables and had good crop, it being a late fall. 1859, on to present time good crops.

April 13, 1866 it snowed all day, and was more than a foot deep, it soon melted away and did no special harm. 1875, it commenced to rain just as we began threshing wheat, and kept it up every day for a month, the wheat in shock, sprouted and grew into a solid mass, causing a loss of fully one-fourth of the crop. 1912, Mar. 23, it snowed incessantly all day and late into the night, and on morning of Mar. 24, it was (25) twenty-five inches deep on a level anywhere. This was the deepest snow I ever saw. Sixty-one inches of snow fell from Jan. 1st, to this time, and most of it in March. Note the difference, Mar. 23, 1853, and same time 1912. Well authenticated records show that on Dec. 30, 1830, a snow fell all over the State of Missouri, forty-two inches deep, and the ground was never clear of snow till spring.
