The late planted corn in our section is grow
ing very rapidly and in all probability will
make heavy crop if it continues seasonable.
Farmers are getting along finely with their
work preparatory to seeding. Where thresh-
ing has been done in our neighborhood the
wheat is averaging about twenty bushels to
the acre, so we were informed by one who
follows threshing as a business.
Albert Franklin, farming for Nathan Frank
lin, ST., threshed the wheat that grew on six
acres, which made 81 bushels per acre. The
wheat that is raised on the improved land
seems to be turning out best, more wheat
and less straw than on clay or limestone land.
Elder VIM. n. Franklin raised from one
pound of Empire State potatoes, 56 pounds.
The number Of potatoes were 16l, of which
only "a were too small for market. The larg-
est one weighed II pounds, the next largest
IL pounds and quite a number one pound
each. Who can beat it?
On last Tuesday evening there was a very
fine shower of rain in this section, making the
ground in fine condition for narrowing.
Some of our farmers are making some in
vestments in wheat at $40 per bushel and SELL
ing their wheat at rs cents per bushel. This
looks like our kind Of wheat is considerably
below par.
Lewis c. franklin, of Franklinville, has
erected new blacksmith shop on Main street.
The colored people will hold woods meet
ing near their church, at Fairview, commence

Hio THE FARMERS of Carroll
Il and adjoining Counties.
i've wish 70 calI your attention to the justIy
ZEIL,S FERTILIzERs.

These fertilizers have been extensively used
by many of the leading farmers of Carroll and
the adjoining counties for the past six or eight
years successfully, with the most gratifying
results. They not only realized the most ex-
cellent crops of grain and grass, but their
farms improved under its application. As a
grass producer it has no superior. Many
farmers will attest to the above facts.
Also the Chemical Company of Canton's
Fertilizers, though not so long in use, are
making for themselves a splendid reputation.
These various brands of fertilizers all will be
in good condition for drilling, and will be sold
this season cheaper than ever before. Farm
ers will do well to examine our stock before
giving their orders or purchasing elsewhere.
A full supply of these goods will be kept
on hand during the season of 1886, at
