Springfield, about 1900 pounds having

The North Redwood cheese factory
has been obliged to decline offers of
milk, until they can put in additional
watts and enlarge the market for their
cheese. So far their output is pro-
nounced uniformly good, and meets
with a ready sale in the home market.
"Never saw better prospects for
crops in my life" said an old resident
of Springdale few days ago. This
estimate is consistent with what is
heard from all parts of the county,
though it is apt to be qualified by
fear that too much rain in the future
may give these roseate prospects a
setback.
Mr.. John Virgins, of North Hero,
was in the Gazette Office last Tu esday,
and confirmed the reports of good
crop prospects in that part of the
county. Concerning FAX, however, he
reports that in few fields the newly
discovered insect has been doing its
worst. He saw one field of about IL
acres completely destroyed by this
new terror, which is lively little fly
that girdles the fax near the roots. So
far the fly has shown itself only on
old fax ground, and Mr.. Virgins is
hopeful that flax on breaking and new
ground will escape for this year at
least.
