none sold in this vicinity-no buyers.
The growing crops are all looking
well. Jos. LOper has the boss piece of
corn in this vicinity. Would it not be a
good idea for our agricultural societies
to offer premium for the best field of
corn, oats and wheat BY referring to
class Al in the premium list published
on the outside of this paper, our corre-
spondent will see that the Belmont
County Agricultural Society does offer
premiums on the best crops of the differ
grains.-ED.
