for besides the wonderful experiences
through which he passed, he succeed

returned to his native town in 1854
and bought a 126 acre farm in the
village east of the river. This he
enlarged to 200 acres later, and oc-
cupiod until his retirement from
active business in 1901. Following his
return from the west he became en-
gagged in farming and stock raising
and also built up a very extensive
business as a dealer in live stock
and hay. For % years he formed a
partnership with tho late Gideon

fair to good yield. AS a rule winter
apples do not appear to be setting as
well as the earlier varieties. Tent
caterpillarS are reported to be doing
much injury in Maine and the Gypsy
and Coddling moths are numerous in
New Hampshire. Pears, plums and
cherries look promising in most areas
while peaches vary and on the whole
seem to promise a light yield only.
Strawberries and blueberries are in
fine shape and excellent yields seem
to he in prospect. Cranberrios in
Massachusetts suffered heavily from
killing frost on May eth which
will cut the expected production de-
cidedly.

Weekly Crop Notes

Temperatures have averaged about
normal during the week though
some northern areas report the sea-
son cold and backward. Showers
have fallen in many localities though
no heavy rains have been reported.
Farm work has generally made good
progress but on the whole is not as
:ar advanced as is usual at this date.
The acreage of sweet corn will be
up to the average and in Maine Will
probably exceed it. The acreage of
corn for silage will also be likely to
exceed that of 1921.
The acrcagcs of spring wheat and
oats will be about the same as last
year according to present indications
and that of barley is likely to be
somewhat larger. Oats are already
up in the more southern counties.
Meadows and pastures are gener-
ally in good condition though spot
ted in some areas. Grasses are
growing wei as a rule. New seeding
of clover is looking finely but old
fields, being weakened by the drought
of last summer, have suffered from
winter killing in many localities. Yer
mont reports a larger acreage then
usual of barley sown for hay.
The condition of all tree fruits
varies greatly in each of the states.
Many varieties of apples that had
good to heavy bloom are setting bad
~. Baldwins, with a light bloom
this year in nearly all areas, are
setting well and seem to promise
