Why Should We Worry?

The Fulton County farmers
may have hayseeds in their hair,
and the editors, moss on their
backs, but from present indica-
tions, nobody in the old county
is likely to go to bed hungry DUR
ing the coming winter. The
principal articles of diet to the
average Fulton County citizen
during the winter months are
pork, buckwheat cakesand honey.
The corn crop this season is eX-
ceptionally fine, and it does not
take any more weeks for a pig
to develop into a 250-pound
porker, than before de wah.
Bees have never done so well as
this summer, and honey is abund-
ant. A farmer, not a dozen
miles from McConnellsburg,
went out into the woods" a few
nights ago and cut a bee-tree
that yielded him ninety pounds
of prime honey. The acreage
planted to buckwheat was unus-
ually large, and the following in
dicates something of the yield:
Joseph E. Mellott, whose farm
is on Timber Ridge, about two
miles north, of the Crossroads
school house threshed from five
acres, a crop of l5S bushels. From
20 acres on the Bennett A. TruaX
farm (the old George Morton
farm in Belfast township, 355
bushels were threshed. 0, man.
Buckwheat cakes and sausage
for breakfast, buckwheat cakes
and honey for dinner, and mush
and milk for supper. Wow! Wow,
