JOY FOR THE FARMER
Stark County Crops Have
Yielded Ahun d a ntiy Farm
Help Scarce.

The wheat harvest of Stark county
has been gathered on stack or in barn
and promises to be one of the largest
yields known for many years. THO
weather has been good and the crop
has been harvested in good condition.
Having disposed of the wheat, the
farmers are now cutting hay which
promises to be large yield. Oats
promise an immense crop.
The recent warm weather has BOOM
ed the corn and it has almost doubled
in size during the past week. Farmers
now look for good crop The only
trouble is scarcity of farm hands and
some of the farmers have sold their
surplus hay on the ground rather than
risk not getting it put up in time to
save it. Some Canton teamsters are
buying fields of hay and are cutting 1t
on their own account.

P0NTIUS ENJOINED
TO COLLECT DEBT

Orlando Smith has taken out an in
junction to prevent Jackson w. Pom
titus and George Unger from removing
crop of wheat off the Nancy Smith
farm near Canton. 1t Is claimed that
the last half of the rent for the year
for the land has not been paid and IL
is desired to hold the wheat for Sc
curity. The matter was argued before
Judge Harter Monday, Pontius taking
the ground that he had the land rent
ed until April l and that the Smiths
had sold portion of it and gave the
purchaser possession last fall. For
that reason the last half. Of $150 of
the rent was not paid.
The court ailowed the temporary in
junction but gave Pontius the privilege
of putting the grain in the barn until
the question Is settled.
