The indications for both a corn and |
a tomato pack in the lower half of the
second district is very poor. Owing to
the continued wet weather for large
part of the season both of these crops are
very unpromising. Tomato vines in
many of the upper parts of the county
are flourishing but blossoms are yet few
and far between. Whenit is remembered
that about six weeks elapse between the
blossom and the ripe fruit it is easy to
see that tomato canning will not he
active before the middle of September,
and an early frost would cut the crop
very short.

"A weIl-known resident of the second
district, not many miles distant from
Boothby Hill, thought to show the in
dustry and vigor Of his youthful days in
the harvest field. With fork in hand and
courage up to the highwater mark he
marched into the bayfield,, intent upon
doing it all in day. Years of high liv-
ing are good for the palate but poor for
the muscles, and old Sol soon put him
out of business. After an hour and a
halls Inconsistencies loving friends and
a skillful physician succeeded in bringing
him back to take his accustomed place in
this wicked world, and from the refresh
ing shade Of his lawn he is warning his
companions to keep out of the harvest
sun.
