The Meade Grain & Seed Co.
on Monday morning bought from
Mr.. Peter Rumple living south
east of Meade the first load of
this seasons wheat crop brought
to town. The load tested SO
pounds and ranked as No. 2 hard
red wheat. The company bought
500 bushels of the same wheat to
be delivered later at S1.00 per
bushel.
Last Sunday was such a fine
day that we decided to see the
crops west of us. Taking the
family in the buggy we drove out
enjoying the sun and fine crops,
taking lunch under the shade of
of Rhees Sing1ey peach trees.
eating dinner we met Mr.. Sing
ley, learning in the course of the
conversation that we had both
come from the same place in
Missouri, Calling at the house
Mrs. Sing1ey and her charming,
daughters took delight in show
ing their excellent garden.
The roads leading into Meade
should have the attention at this
time, as there is an immense
amount of grain to come to mar
ket, and loads the weight of
wheat cut them fast. Where
there is now slight depression
will soon be a rut deep enough to
break wheel or an aX1etree. It
is easy to haul to another and of
all things farmer in this coun-
try of good roads hates it is a
road that gives any bother or
f1indefs taking load to the limit
of the wagon.
