To MIR. AND MRS. ROLLIN LANE
At the celebration of their Golden
Wedding" 1S61-1911.
We are glad to congratulate you
On your golden wedding day;
And think it is quite wonderful
That you're youthful looks should stay
BY you: Aunties hair is dark and fine
And smooth, as it always has been;
Never ruflied, or tumbled and mussed
As younger locks are often seen.
We extend to you words of good cheer;
A little praise-you deserve right well,
For many kindly deed wrought
In a most quiet way-and if we tell
OF few of them, you'll not mind
Surely all are your friends who are here
And think just as we do you see;
So we speak without demur or fear
That the merit acknowledged by us
Is one whit more than your due.
And to begin with let me now say
TOT your lDHueHce, we congratulate
you.
As long as your health would permit
You were the dependable kind;
Never changeabe or tickle, but such
As have conscientious mind.
Always found in your places at church
In the prayer-meeting. either social or
business one.
You've always responded so heartily
That we say to you both-"Well Done"
So happy and CHEEKY you've been
That quite youthful to us you still
seem;

FIFTY YEARS MARRIED.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rollin Lane Cele.
brate Anniversary of Their
Wedding in Cornwall.

A very pleasant occasion was the
celebration by Mr.. and Mrs. RoIlin Lane
of Cornwall of their golden wedding,
on Monday, March GOTH
Mr. Lane was for years interested in
the raising and shipping to South
America fine Merino sheep, an industry
which has made Cornwall and Addison
county famous the world over.
Six children were born and of these
two are living, Mrs. Frank Warner and
Charles r. Lane of Cornwall. Like
their parents they have become prom
inent residents of the town, where
they occupy large farms. Four grand
children are living with their parents in
Cornwall.
At noon Monday about rs relatives,
friends and neighbors gathered at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Lane, taking the
aged couple by surprise as they were
not told of the intended visit.
They received a large number of
presents in gold, including many
gold coins. The afternoon was passed
in playing games by the younger people,
while the older ones told stories and
renewed old time acquaintances. Inter-
esting stories were told of the early
days of Cornwall when the sheep bust
ness was at its height.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane have to use
spectacles only when they read fine
print. Mr.. Lane can be seen about the
village of Middlebury on market days
completing transactions with the keen
ness of man half his age. He says he
owes his good health to the fact that he
never used tobacco or whiskey. He
has filled many prominent town offices
and has often refused reelection.
At the old home, where they have
lived for the fifty years of welded life,
thirty relatives and friends gathered to
bring their good wishes. Though both
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane will be SO years old
this year, they possess in remarkable
degree their faculties. MIR. Lane has
been "a successful farmer of Cornwall and
citizen held in high esteem. Six
children have blessed this union, two
of whom survive Charles r. Lane and
Mrs. Frank Warner, both of Cornwall.
There are four grandchildren.
After pleasant social time brief eX-
ercises were carried out. First came
speaking by the grandchildren. Then
two original poems written for the &C.
casion by Mrs. Silas Jewett and Mrs.
Curtis Sampson were read. Mrs. c. H.
Lane read "The Golden Wedding"
poem by Emily Huntington Miller. The
Rev. Samuel Rose after brief remarks
of congratulstion on behalf of their
many friends, presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Lane with a beautiful Towering azalea,
and a Sunshine Box filled to OVERLOOKING
with gifts and messages of good will
Bountiful refreshments were served by
the hosts, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles r. Lane.

plant and see for themselves whether
good lumber is being used or not and will

The claim has been made within the
past few weeks that the packer has
been doing the farmer a kindness by
boosting the prices of live stock to
such unusual levels. This is nothing
the packing interests deserve any par

been so scarce that high prices have
had to be offered to supply the fresh
meat trade. 1t is safe to say that

While really eighty-two years have
passed
We think they must have flown like
dream.
We appreciate Cor sincerely hope that
we do,
The work done for our church; freely
given,
Cullecting-as none else could do.
And by every influence you've strven-
To have each one bear their own share,
too,
And give sums ranging from large to
small,
That Gods word should be preached
unto all
In the Congo" here in Cornwall.
We thank you; sincerely we do
For this deed; which is only just one
OF the many that crowd to our mind
Where kind acts to the needy you've
shown.
Were thankful your children sent out
Invitations to meet you today
And express our heartfelt regard
In this neighborIy kind of way.
How happy the thought that your life
Has been passed in contentment and
peace,
Feeling real gratitude for blessings re-
ceived
And with true love that never shall
cease.
Two children are with you today;
Charles R. looking hearty and well;
And while Harriet sinner appears
She "gets there" each time-we can tell
By her quick step and flash of the eye;
Yes for these we congratulate YOU
And for Julia the mate of your son
Who will care for you all the way
through.
Frank Henry, the son, SO learned and 80
wise
AS to represent Cornwall this year
A quartet of whom you are proud
And to whom you are most dear.
Four grand children are with us also;
Carlton Henry the first as to age,
A studious ambitious youth,
Perhaps-a Prof most sage.

A housekeeper of first-class repute;
Happy, cheerful and helpful always
AS none will attempt to dispute.
While dear little Grace Lane, the girl,
With wit that is keen as can be,
We will own-we have wished she was
ours,
But she's needed right here we can see
To help care for Miss Dorothy May
And wait on the grandparents too,
Running errands for all in the home.
AS she does most capably do.
And now kind friends, let me tell,
For many who are not here today,
AS well as those present with you
We hope you'll remain-and we say
From hearts that beat high with the
wish
TIL at true happiness increase all the
way,
And that both of your lives may be
spared
For the Diamond Wedding Day"
Now, dear ohes, we bid you adieu,
We're hoping you'll enjoy what we
leave

By true friends, you can safely believe.
Wishing for you and your loved ones, too
The best that heaven has in store,
We bid you hearty "good day,

Value of the Years Crop.

Nothing short of omniseience can
grasp the value of the farm products
of this year, is the statement of the
secretary of agriculture in his annual
report for 1910. Never before in the
world history has country produced
farm products within one year with
value reaching 1926, 0OO,O 900, which is
the value of the agricultural products
of this country for 1910. The increase
in the value of farm products from
1899 to the present year has been pro-
gressive without interruption. If the
value of the products of 1899 is placed
at 100, the value for this year is 189,
or almost double the value for the cen
sus year eleven years ago.
The corn crop of 3,121 1881 900 bushels
exceeds that of the record year 1906
and is greater than the average crop of
the preceding five years by IA per
cent. While the value of this corn crop
is below that of 1909 and also of 1908,
it's amount belongs to stories of magic.
1t can hardly be reckoned as less than
$1,500,000, 900, sum sufficient to can
eel the Understanding debt of the
United States, buy all of the gold and
silver mined in all of the countries of
the earth in 1909, and still leave to
the farmers a little pocket money.
All the cereals except corn are to-
gether worth only three fourths as much
as that crop. The. great allied iron
and steel industries had, in the latest
census year for which results have been
published, 1904, a production worth
only 60 per cent of the value of this
year s corn crop.
The cotton crop of this year may be
worth in lint and seed round $780,
100000 at the farm, or more than the
corn crop was worth in any year prior
to 1901. This value is 10 per cent
above the fve-acre average.
The value of the hay crop is about
$720, 100000, an amount which has been
exceeded but once, and that in 1907;
| it is 10 per cent above the average of
the preceding five years.
The production of spring and winter
wheat is 691, 767,O00 bushels, or sub
stantially the average of the preceding
| five years, whereas the value is about
1925, 100000, or rs per cent above the
| tive-year average.
Easily the fifth crop in point of value
| is oats, the value of which this year il
@ooo,Voo,ooo, VI IL per ceuC dDoVe Int
average of the five preceding years
For the second time in the history Of
this country the crop exceeds 1000,
100000 bushels, the precise estimate
standing at 096,,396,000 bushels, o.
% per cent greater than the average
of the five preceding years.
Next in order Of value is the potato
crop, which has been exceeded only il
two or three former years. With the
exception of the crop of 1909, which
was in degree an overproduction, the
crop of this year is the largest ever
grown in this country; the preliminary
estimate of the department is 32s,7s7,
900 bushels, or 8 per cent above the
average of the preceding five years.

Eleven Million Bushels Kaf1ir Corn.

The Oklahoma state reports show
the kaffir corn crop this season to be
the best in several years and the grain
yield per acre to be much better than
corn, as the average yield per acre is
given at 1913 bushels, while the corn
yield was only 1871 bushels. The kafir
corn grain yield per acre last year ac-
cording to the assessors returns was
40 bushels showing the remarkable
difference in favor of this year S crop
of 17.7 bushels The total estimated
yield of the grain crop is 11,O11,261, as
compared with 2,255,470 for the 1909
crop. The greater part of this big
kaffir corn yield was raised in western
Oklahoma, where it is needed for winter
feeding on account of the corn crop
being almost a failure in some sections.
The big kaffir corn grain yields made
this year, when corn in the same locali-
ties was hardly worth harvesting, dem
onstrate very forcibly that farmers
in southwestern and western Oklahoma
would make surer and as good a feed
ing crop as corn by raising katfir corn
and milo maize.
The katfir corn forage crop averaged
2 tons per acre, as compared with one
half ton per acre for the 1909 crop.
The estimated number of tons of forage
raised this season is given at $780, 1888
tons, as compared with 225, 5S2 tons for
last years crop.
The estimated acreage of kaffir corn
raised this year is 49s,737, as compared
with 492,214 acres raised in 1902
