Threshing in this locality is in full
blast and perhaps go per cent of the
grain is threshed. The crop yields very
largely. However, there will be a good
fair crop, few, if any, fields tributary to
Milton going less than IA bushels to the
acre. There are numerous yields of
twenty bushels or more and on the
whole, it is a crop that will give the
county another boost forward in gen.
eral development and prosperity.

Across life's stormy sea:

Must he the best for me.
Since lie who guides me DER the deep.
The wind and waves obey;
And He knows every dangerous pass
Across life's treacherous way.
He keeps the watch, He holds the helm
The trAokless way to keep;
And gently soothes my every fear
Who giyeth His beloved sleep.
The storms that meet my luckloss craft
And drive me far astrAy,
May safely moor anothers boat
Within some sheltered bay:
And that which bears some safe to land
MAY wreck my brother on the strand
