should. The officers of the new

fine yields.
Mike Foley, who owns a fine farm
in Grant Valley township, has a
bumper crop of everything that a
successful farmer raises.
Yesterday afternoon, from a meas
ured field of two acres of winter
wheat, Foley secured ninety bushels
of the fnest-graded hard wheat,
averaging forty-fve bushels to the
acre.
Foley has forty acres of oats that
are wonderful crop. Careful esti-
mates of the yield that he will secure
from this forty-acre field place the
same at 1000 bushels, an average of
fifty bushels per acre.
Twenty acres of potatoes on the
Foley Farm are fairly bullying out
of the ground aud Mr.. Foley does
not hesitate to place the yield of
tubers from his patch at 1000
bushels.
Other vegetables are a tremend-
GUS crop, and the cellars and root
houses will be filled to OVERLOOKING.
Mr.. Foley is erecting a new house
and commodious barn, the total
cost of both of which will be close
to $4,000. The barn is provided
with full cement basement, and
will nicely house his dairy and
beef cattle, in which he intends to
deal extensively.
Five years ago, the Foley farm
was being denuded of it's timber
and doleful indeed were the prophe-
sizes of the fate of the cut-over land;
but the past three years has DEM
onstrated quite forcibly that the
lands of this section which were
formerly densely timbered with white
and Norway pine, jackpine, etc..
contains the finest kind of soil for
the raising of agricul tural products.
