Glenwood.
Henry Rist had about three acres of
cherries. After about three weeks al
most steady picking and packing he
has completed the crop. He had both
the early and late. About as near as
he is able to estimate he had about 200
bushels besides the amount put up for
home use and those wasted. In spite
of the utmost care there is waste. lie
thinks the whole crop amounted to 2oo
bushels. The most Of those sold
brought $3.50 per bushel. Two hun
drcd bushels at $3.50 per bushel makes
$500 for the crop, or 500 for each OF
the three acres, which is good yield
and handsome profit.

Jesse S. Hamm Of Buchanan town
ship, is credited with the largest as
sessment for the East river drainage
ditch Of any one farmer along the en-
tire line, and it is surely very heavy,
amounting to s5,676.94. To many men
this would seem like throwing away
good start for a fortune these days,
but Mr. Hamm does not look at it
that way as he is glad at the opportu-
nifty to thus invest it. He owns 500
acres Of land along the river bottom
and much OF it is so level that he has
been unable to drain 1t and get the
use Of it except for pasture. Nearly ev
cry season portions OF it overflow from
floods and injuries it for that purpose
With the ditch constructed he expects
to have many acres redeemed to Gull
tivation. which Is of the very riches,
soil in the country. Where he has been
able to cultivate exceedingly large
crops have been grown. Thus he ex-
poets in two years more to realize
profit from this investment. He was il
