There was an oversupply Of vcge-
tation grown in the Angle country
this year which serves as a very good
testimonial for the soil that is found
here. Potatoes, cabbage, carrots and
parsnips, sold for 1 cent per pound,
onions "a cents, ripe tomatoes, musk
melons and gorund cherries were
raised but found no market. Cucum-
bers could be bought for your own
price. Every farmer in the Angle
should have root cellar and carry
over his surplus supply to obtain
better market facilities.
