J. M. Cross Of the Journal, who spent
last week in the prosperous farming
section embracing China, Albion
Palermo and adjoining towns reports
that he never found the farmers of
that region better satisfied with their
crops and prospects than this fall. 1t
has been an exceptionally good year
and they are all feeling we'll. Even
the apple crop, which is so small in
most parts Of the State, is proving
much better in these towns than was
expected. Moreover, the quality of the
fruit is exceptionally good and it will
command a fancy price. In the town
of China. for instance, Mr.. Cross found
that A. r. Ward will have $50 barrels
of first -class apples to sell, and r. L.
Ellis will have about the same num-
Der. H. N Randall is picking over 100
barrels in his orchard, and Eben Bailey
fully as many. Other orchards will do
as well as these mentioned, while or
chards adjoining are without an apple.
At the Sidney fair Mr.. Cross found one
Of the best exhibits of apples, as far as
quality is concerned, ever seen in this
section. AS regards the corn crop, Mr..
Cross reports that it is one of the best
for many years. standing or par with
the hay crop. Among the Vassalboro
corn raisers o. ]. Hussey has over 700
bushels of the best. Sumner Page at
East Vassalboro has bin of about 400
bushels of the handsomest corn ever
husked. George Buzzell of. Cross Hill.
raised over 100 bushels of extra fine
corn from n piece Of 80 rods.
