The tomato pack bids fair to be
small this year on the Peninsula.
A greatly reduced area was planted
and the crop will be but a three
fourth one. The pack this year is
estimated to reach about 100000
cans. Last year it was 100000.
The price is very low and produc-
ton is contracting on all lines. The
money of the country contracted
500, 100000 last year.
The apple crop, pear crop, and
grape crop are large this year, and
the hot weather has ripened up the
apples and pears abnomally early.
The ground in the orchards is COW
cred with the finest summer and
fall apples rotting where they fall ;
thousands of bushels going to
waste.
With the necessary appliances
the fruit might be made into eX-
cellent jelly.

tute will not reopen until Wednes-

essary to limit the number in the
Kindergarten.
Parents must see that Vaccina-
ton certificates are filed at the
Office of the Institute.
The old bee hunt practical joke
shifted to the water melon patch
was successfully played near Zion
a few days ago on some youngsters.
When the gun was fired and the
wounded boy fell, a stampede took
place. One boy didn't halt till he
reached Zion a mile from the scene
Of the mock tragedy, where he re-
ported that a boy had been shot.
The doctor and hospital outfit hur-
ried to the scene of shooting to
learn that they too had been vic
timized by one of the victims.
Our farmers commenced drilling
in wheat about the tenth and will
be busy getting the crop in the bal
ance of the month, hoping to have a
good crop for the low prices next
year, which some wiseacres pre-
dict, will be lower than this year.
The money trust it is said have de-
termined the price of wheat shall
be 80 cents in the future and all
other things on the same plane of
prices, and unless silver is remone-
tiled they will be able to make
their arrangements stand good.
