 Watermelons are blooming and get ting some showers and if kept tender will be pretty sure to make crop. So what if we don't have peaches, and some other fruits. Watermelons and cantaloupes sure do taste fine. So many crops to grow that you hardly know which to plant and long enough growing season so if you fail in one you can still make good on something else are some of our na- tural advantages. Or, too crops of the same thing, as Irish potatoes, are commonly grown.
 Our proof readers seem not able to keep Golden Acres and Golden Rule farm unmixed. Now the Golden Rule principle goes on Golden Acres al- right, and Golden Acres wouldn't mind having some of the good things to be found on the Golden Rl'ie farm. And no doubt the Golden Rule farm contains some golden acres, we wish 1t was nearer to Acorn. But as a matter of fact the two places are 4 or miles apart and distinctly sepa- rate and 1t is mere coincidence that the names are anything alike.
