Necker, 18th District.--Farmers and
truckers in this section are bustling to make
up for lost time on account of the late spring.
The growing grain, peas, etc., now present an
excellent appearance and the outlook for crops
generally is good. The very early vegetables
were nipped by Jack Frost, but replanting
helped in this matter and now everything is
doing WELL
Maying parties were out in this section in
full force last Sunday. Many vehicles loaded
timore and enjoyed the day in the woods and
fields. Wild flowers were scarce, however.
but many fruit trees were in bloom and in
some cases these were made to suffer.
We have had good deal of talk about mad
dogs in this community, but nothing is def

short work of him if he knows how to shoot.

builder. There is great demand for houses
and it is said that others will soon be erected
on the same property.
The birds are enjoying unusual immunity
Just now from danger from men and boys with
guns. The people appear to be respecting the
law on the subject aud if you hear the report
of gun you may almost feel cure that the
charge has gone after a chicken hawk or an
alleged mad dog.
The war between the Japs and the Russians
is freely discussed by the people and much
sympathy is expressed for the former They
are fighting for their rights and it is generally
believed that Russia has an elephant on her
