their lives, for US. We should allow
the cobwebs and dust accumulate, If

at its Height

The peach harvest at the College
Farm is not at it's height. The
peaches maintain their usual high
standing of excellence and meet
with ready sale to homemakers who
are eager to lay in supply of
preserves for the coming year. No
