The most extensive crop of clover seec
ever grown in this section will be gathered
this season, it is thought; more than wa

not very favorable, but it is thought tn,

been grown than will be required for hom
consumption, and already some of ou
farmers are putting it on the market. Tn
price is quoted at $l00S11 per bushel il
Philadelphia. The advantage to our com
nunity will be considerable between havin
this crop to sell and having it to buy.
