With the first cutting o, alfalfa in
the stack and the second most ready
for the mower, cantaloupes just hump
ing themselves, and the beets fairly
popping, this section Of the valley,
surely shows promise Of producing the
greatest crop on record. The first
cutting Of alfalfa was short on &C
count of the lateness OF spring and
the last lingering frosts. However
the second will more than make up
for that The beets are said to be
further advanced than any previous
year and the yield will be enormous.
