visit all of the Western States, He
will be away about three months, arriv-
ing home the first of September.
The strawberry season has closed
here. Many of the growers are dissat-
isfed with the results obtained from
their berries. The low prices, com
bined with the dry weather during the
period at which the berries were set
ting, combined to make the crop not
very profitable.

ark, N. j., are visiting her parents
here.
The pea crop in this vicinity is turn
ing out much better than the farmers
had been led to believe that it would.
The peas are heavy set and profitable
crop is the result.

be ripe in about ten days. There should
be a large crop of these berries accord
ing to the latest reports.

ting their tomato plants, went to work
Immediately setting them. One Of
the largest acreages of tomatoes that
were ever set out in this vicinity is now
planted The new canneries in this
