LETTER FROM SHARON
The Yorkville Enquirer


Sharon, Aug. 22-Business is rather
dull in Sharon at present, and few
people from the country surrounding
have business in town now, but every
body is looking forward to early busi-
ness in the fall.
Speaking Of the crops, this section
has little complaint to make. The sea-
sons have been very good. compared
with general conditions in the county,
and Sharon's output will be we'll up
with that of any other portion of the
county. While the people in Bullock's
Creek have suffered much on account
of the drouth, they have very good cot
ton and corn, and the farmers OF other
sections who make Sharon their mar
ket town, are we'll satisfied with the
outlook.
People in and around Sharon are be-
coming interested in alfalfa. While
only two or three farmers have actual
ly begun experimenting with the plant,
there Is great deal Of talk about al
falfa, and ii is quite probable that this
will become a very extensive alfalfa
growing community.
Crimson clover is also coming into
popularity. DR.. ]. H. Saye is among
those who intend to SOW several acres
of the clover this fall.
