The gardens about town are being
plowed and are in fine shape for plant
ing. But only the very early and hardy
kinds Of seed are being planted. Our
present fine weather is more than likely
to get bad cold before the Fourth Of
July. But with fairly good weather
everybody will have green peas and new
potatoes on that day this year. The
notorious ''celery war" over at st. Vim
cent is on in all its Intensity. 1t is
claimed that Brother Deacon, who aims
to be the champion at the local fair
every year, started his plants just after
Thanksgiving time last fall.

business this week and is now ready to
receive cream from the surrounding
country. The creamery is said to be
one of the finest in the county, and up

Now, when you are buying your gar
den seeds, you will make no mistake if
you select them from the D. NJ. Ferry
& Go. box that you will find in most
every store that sells good seeds, in the
land. They have been in the seed bust
ness since most always-and experience
is worth something in the seed business.
If they were not reliable they would not
be doing the largest seed business in
the country.
Seeding has been going on generally
all the week under very favorable eli
matte conditions and the ground in fine
condition. Very little wheat seeding
now remains. The days have been
warm, with occasional strong winds
and the nights cool. The season is
about month earlier than last year.
Rain will soon be needed. While the
ground is still damp from the melting
frost there has as yet been no rain and
many wells are very low.
The county committee of the S. S
Association has just held successful
meeting and is preparing an excellent
program for the coming convention
which is to be held at Cavalier on june
17-18-19. All Sunday school workers
see the need of our conventions doing
their utmost in the lines of encouraging
and stimulating, better Bible study
better teaching of the Word and better
Christian work. This purpose will b
