The farmers of this community are
all through seeding and the crops are
looking finer now than for many years
and good prospects for bumper crop.
The heavy rains lately have rushed all
grains.
We look for an early harvest. The
farmers have this year caught up with
their work and will have little visit
ing time this summer. So we better
now get busy before the callers begin
to come and clean up our yard, haul
away threshing rig implements, hay
and straw and ash piles and scrap iron
piles and tin piles away from our door,
and let US rake our yards and set fire
to the same, as the township board Of
health ought to look after this, so it's
done and let us get busy and clean up.
