LETTER FROM UR3ANA.

ED. HERALD.-It has been some
time since | undertook to pencil a
few lines to THE HERALD, in the way
of letter to my many friends in
Berkeley Co. ! will try and give a
little sketch. April was very wet
May and June brought splendid
weather for corn planting. 1t look
ed as if the whole county was in
corn. The corn stood well on the
ground when it came up and was
we'll attended. The season was good
and better crop has not been rails
ed for many years. This country is
full of all kinds of grain and stock,
The wheat crop was good, yielding
from Is to 40 bushels per acre.
Wheat thre>hed just after harvest
sold at S0aS5 cents, now it is only
worth 10; corn 80 cents, 20 pounds,
i'll thr ear. That is the way corn is
sold in this country. The law OF
Ohio is ~ lbs. if not drv I'LL Jan. LIST,
and after that 6S lbs. if dry. Every.
thing is sold by weight, except eggs,
and they by gross weight. Hogs
are worth 81, fat sheep 81, poor OF
stock sheep $3.50, tat cattle 4 to So.
stock $50 to 81. Hay--theIe never
were so many stacks TO be seen all
over the country. All kinds of feed
in abundance. Apples a fair crop,
other fruits scarce. Glover seed
good, from 2 to bushel per acre,
worth 1926 per bushel. Mr.. A. NIL
Ter, our boss thresher, hulled 1856
Bushels this fall-the biggest days
work was 65 bushels. He uses the
Victor machine. / don't remember
the name of his wheat thresher, but
know be has threshed $4,000 bush
els this year. His father came from
near Winchester, Va.
We had good sleighing for week,
but it is all gone now.
A Happy New Year, if this will
not be too late; and success to
you and The HERALD. Although
you did not get your j. G. B., you
did all you could. Your disappolnt-
ment has not hurt my feelings, aud
it may cause me to go to Washing
