The Fruit and Grain Crop

ST. LOUIS, April PA correspondent
for local paper at Upton, Mo-, having
made special inquiry in regard to the
fruit and grain prospects in that section,
finds that from present indications there
will be full crop Of apples, peaches,
cherries and grapes. The plum crop is
perhaps damaged from 80 to rs per cent.
Wheat never looked better at this time
of the year and promises large yield,
there being an average acreage sown.
There has been but very little oats sown,
and no corn planted up to this time,
owing to the unprecedented fall of rain.
Stock wintered well.

charge OF the home. The retiring modesty
OF these noble ladies kept them from giving
their names, but to their uDtiriDg efforts
the success OF the dinner Is entirely due.

farmer Is cheated by the local dealer, and
assures him that he can save 80 per cent by
sending orders to their purchasing agency.
They then send goods which they repre-
