returned home. Mr. Neff was in four
teen of the sixteen townships and got

is injured greatly by rust, fly and
weasel, and will not be more than two
thirds of crop. Meadows are gener-

excellent and potatoes never looked

Colerain, Smith and Goshen were the
only ones where even a small crop OF
cherries was found.
