DAVID KEEN residing near Black
bird, brought to our office this morn
ing couple of specimens of the Fal-
lOwalder apple that measured 13
inches around them. He says that the
wet weather is loosening the stem and
causing the most of the apples to fall
to the ground.
AS if we hadn't had enough rain in
the whole week of rainy weather the
first part of the month, we were
treated again to very heavy rain falls
on Sunday evening and again on Mon
day afternoon. That of Monday at 3
o'clock, after a succession of showers
| during the afternoon, was the heaviest
dash of the season.
THE interesting letter of Harry R.

very small when one comes to hide"
