The entire river press nted a peculiar
aspect at low tide Thursday afternoon.
In the vicinity of Memorial Bridge and |
as far as the eye could see the river was |
only narrow serpentine stream looking |
like brook. AT the Battery and along |
Patterson's Point the reports were of the
lowest tide for yeals. AT flood tide the
water came up over the cottage sea walls |
in many insti noes but did no damage as
the weather was calm and warm. The |
water in the Passa agassawaukeag for
several miles above the bridge is higher |
than for many years. The nearby lakes |
present sprlng-time appearance and the |
streams that flow into them are in the |
same condition. 1t is quite evident that
not even the farmer will be asking for |
more rains this year.
The Hopkins ''dahla farm" in Monroe |
has grown into very productive Waldo |

and one-nalf acres of thrifty plants all in
full bloom. There are all sorts of sizes,
shades, styles, the direct result of constant
application and hard work for the past
eight seasons. Mrs. Hopkins displayed
thirty varieties at her first exhibit, but
now has about four hundred. The first
sea- on she sold her bulbs for five cents
each, but now her prices range from 10
cents to four dollars. The first season
she netted one dollar and seventy-five
cents. The plants are all in one field on
a side hill and only two feet apart.
