CHEswoLD, Sept. 1:-Some OF our
farmers have commenced foddering
but corn is slow ripening this year.
The business of buying and ship
ping fruit continues very active, only |
peaches and cantaloupes are dropping |
off and apples also because of the low
prices. The larger part of the output |
from our siding to-day was tomatoes,
taking four of the seven cars which
we're loaded at % or % cents per bas-
ket. Our cannery also took in the
largest quantity of contract fruit OF
any day this season.
Samuel Unruh commenced this
week the erection of new house on
his fifty acre farm near Central Church.
Mrs. G. K. Illick will sell off her
stock and farm implements (having
recently sold her FARM Tuesday OF
next week the 9th. Her stock of
cattle are very desirable.
From this years experience with
high price peaches, ''peach craze" is
expected and nursery stock will be in
demand this fall.
