with the method Of starting a crop Of
sweets, would be mystlfied at the smoke
which Is seen apparently Issuing from
the ground about the farms.

toes Is general with most farmers, and
the land is generally prepared for plant
Ing their corn. IL has been so wet that
the farmers are not risking It in the
