worlds record OF 100 feet inches with the
12-pOund hammer in the Princeton interscholas-

young Mercersburg athlete in the front rank of
American weight throwers. He has frequently

more important in weight throwing of all

1t is stated that Talbot has frequently

equal the mark of 100 feet II inches, set
by w. L. Coudon in 1892 at Washington.

this apple here for years. 1t did not
do we'll with me in Iowa but here it
has been pre-eminently successful.
Our winesapS are going to New York
City and bringing the very highest
prices. l am informed by New York
apple dealer that there are NUT few
sections in our whole country where the
winesap is equal to the one grown
here and none surpasses it. l have
winesap trees in my orchard that
have been planted eleven years, the
trunks are a foot in diameter and il
there are any trees in our orchards
that have paid for their keeping they
are the ones. l am still planting the
winesap and and | am top-working
improbable varieties with this apple.
