1t is generally thought that the corn
crop will be small this season. The re-
cent rains have kept the corn green and
flouriShing, but so many fields are short,
and so many others are irregular, that II
is hardly expected to properly mature
unless the season should be unusually
favorable. Insect pests have caused
great deal of trouble, and much OF the
corn had to be replanted several times.
There are some fields now that are not
much more than knee high.
HI. Snyder & Co. have for sale two

to 90 into the apple business, for the land
itself is very desirable, independent OF
the orchards. The price at which this
property can be bought makes it asplen-
did investment. Inquire for particulars
