dropped in while in town Tuesday aud

for another year. He informs us that
his crops were uniformity good this year
and while his fall grain did not come
through the winter well and was in such
a backward state when spring arrived
that he was all but tempted to pillow
it up, he harvested on an average of SO
bushels from the same field. Mr.. Solder
burg put out some corn this year in the
way of an experiment and while he
planted it too late to permit maturing,
cut fine lot of fodder and feels he was
repaid for his work but is not exuberant
over corn as a crop for summer fallow
