HOLDS IN CHECK, BENEFICIAL

Farmers in the vicinity of the North
side are still optimistic about the pros
poets of good crops. Some fear was
expressed this morning that the pres
ent cooler weather would injure grow
ing things. However the majority OF
the farmers asked about the matter
said that this present condition was
a good thing because it held the growth
in check. This statement, they say,
applies both to fruit and grain
However, if this cool spell had came
later when the fruit had fully bud
ded the effect might have been BAD
On the other hand, coming at TINS
time it is thought that the fruit anu
wheat will be held in check just long
enough, that the season for any too
cool weather will be over by the tins
fruit and grain are nearing maturity
enough to be affected.
In this connection it is stated that
North side people are planting more
garden truck than ever before. A great
many lots hitherto vacant, are be1n&
used for this purpose. This is not to
mention the improvements which are
being made on the premises.
