Resume Of What Is
Doing al Hyde Park

Hyde Park, June t4.-Oh, the rain
rain, and frost. When will It ever
cease? The rains have done consid
cradle damage as well as a great deal
Of good. Hundreds OF tons of hay
were cut down just in time to get
wet. The frosts of Saturday and Sun.
day nights injured very much in some
local ties, the potatoes, corn, beans
number of years that we seldom fail
to have frosts here between the first
and tenth OF June. The potatoes in
some localities are blighted; and
said to be caused from too much
rain. The beets however, are fair.
| " booming. Thinning Is nearly ov.
err, and some are hoeing. II the wea.
Their is favorable there will be hun.
dreds of tons of alfalfa put in the
stack and barns during the next ten
days. The hay crop is very heavy
this year, as is also the grain crop.
There is some fear that the rains
will rust the wheat as they did last
year. While the peach and apple
crop may be about an average one,
the plums, cherries, greengages are
very light. Strawberries are very
hard to get.
An industry that promises to be of
nhn a.. hn
raising Of sugar beet seed. It is we'll
known that for several years tho
U. A. G.. have been raising seed
OF superior quality. Now the Anal.
gamated Sugar Company have twenty
acres planted with seed beets in Hyde
Park and North Logan fields. At the
present there are fine prospects for
an abundant crop of seed. In one
field we found hundreds Of plants ov,
err four feet high, on one seed beet
we counted thirty-five seed stalks.
That this industry VIII develop to
great proportions and prove a big
revenue getter, is the firm belief of
the writer.
