THE BIGGEST CROP OF WEEDS.

1t Was on the Cherry Island Marsh Land
aud Was Good Proof of the Richness Of
the Soil.
William Bright. one of the owners OF
Cherry Island Marsh land remarked Friday
morning that he never saw such crop of
weeds III his life as that taken last sepson
from his five or six acres of Cherry Island
Marsh. Mr.. Bright did not state this as
proof of the poverty of the soil. but for the
opposite reason exactly, and as an evidence
OF its extreme richness. He said there was
a thick crop about three feet high. the
stalks being almost matted together, He
never saw anything like il in his life and
believed the equal of the crop of weeds
could not be found in the United States.
He got q So note from a Brandywine
hundred farmer for the right to harvest
the crop. The man got about go loads Of
weeds off of the land. It was used for bed
ding cattle and for manure. For all that
it was not a paying crop. For Mr.. Bright
had to pay $50 taxes as against So assets.
Still he has the most profound apprecia-
ton of the wonderful reproductive powers
of Cherry Island Marsh land.
