The writer has received crop re
ports from a few neighbors of which
the following is an outline: On Island
Home farm, pumpkins are so large
that few of them broke loose and
rolled into Kandiyohi lake so parties
fishing are catching only pumpkin
seeds. On Evening View farm, they
chopped their wheat off with axes
the same idea was carried out with
barley cutting on Danger Lane farm
On Picnic Scene farm, the corn grows
so large that Ole has to hoist the ears
into the crib with derrick; on Plain
View farm, the oats was so tell it had
to be cut with the corn binder. Lake
Lillian has not been represented al
the county fair the past years, but this
year we hope they will win all first
prizes. Remember the fair commenc
es Sept Goth and continues the 21st
