the largest yield that has been known

moro corn for sale next summer than

fact that they Will probably do the largest
business done for yeurs.
The wheat crop, which has been one Of
the most Important crops In tho Northern
Neck viii bo smaller next year than It
has been for years. This Is partly due to
the scarcity OF labor. and partly to the
fact that the farmers In this section have
found the pea crop moro profitable. Wheat
has beer, raised here principally Tor the
Improvement OF the land, and tho farmers
wcro satisfied when tho crop sold for
enough to pay expenses. The pea crop
on the other hand, not only improves tho
land more than wheat but 1t has also
boon found to DO very profitable.
