GO so bushel, and barley 40. AT
his home we were received with
true Virginia hospitality. and
spent a delightful evening over
scenes with which both his
family and ourselves were fam
|miliar.

James Hunt / could find no one
at home but / was told in the
community that his crop was an
cepti0nally good one the av-

ed unsuspectingly at the home
of 81 4. Perry who has purchased
the Ulrey quarter and has been
looking after the farming of it
this summer. Mrs. Perry had
arrived at the farm from their
home in Racine, Wis, a. few
weeks befor my visit, and had
given the heretofore bachelor
quarters a touch Of home. and
here we sat at the hospital board
and enjoyed al sumptuous repast.
This is Mrs. Perry's first visit.
to the county in three years and
she noted with interest the
changes in that time. The
Farmers road has been built
since she left her early home in
DeGroat and the other changes
have been just as marked. The
farm upon which they were.

not expect a large crop. but he is
aiming 10 make it like his large

taken first prize at any eastern
