minor MATTERS
on INTEREST

Thomas O. Curry who during the
past summer cultivated the lot at the
lower end of West Mahoning street
was yesterday engaged in storing
away the crop of onioGs winch he
raised. The lot comprises one and a
half acres. The growing crop present.
ed very interesting appearance dur
ing the summer. Mr.. Curry was very
proud of his onions and gave them
close attention. AS they approsche d
maturity there were good many con-
lectures as to what the yield would
be. The guesses varied considerably
All will be interested to know that
the exact yield is five hundred and
thirty three bushels. All of which
shows that Mr.. Curry although the ac-
tive years of his life have been gi ven
to other pursuits is nevertheless some
thing of a truckmau and might be
able to give practical gardeners few
pointers.
For the benefit of those wlfo may
wonder what there is in Mr.. Ourry's
crop we will state that at the present
time onions are retailing at the rate
of one dollar per bushel.
