BOWERS.

The farmers near town have been
taking up their late potatoes, and the
report is more than an average yield.
Hundreds of bushels are being put in
order for shipment or tored away in their
houses for future use.
The high cost OF living. while it comes
pretty hard on some, has been the means
OF saving with many who never thought
Of trying to grow vegetables for their
own use, but depended upon the grocery
stores or the hucksters for all their veg
etables for family use. But the matter
Of food conservation was put up to them
so strongly. and the admonitiOn to plant
truck in all the little hooks and corners
and vacant spaces, that II has been done
universally and the result is that the
majority Of househOlders have a suft-
cheney OF all vegetables TO supply their
tables the coming winter. We know
whereof we make the assertion, that
there have been ten bushels Of potatoes
raised this year within the corporate
limits Of the town to one in any former
year. The same will apply to all other
vegetables. We believe that the eN-
perience and the success that has at
tended their efforts this season will be
incentive to try the same project anoth
er year with greater determination.
