FAIR TOBACCO CROP,
GOOD CORN REPORTED
IN EASTERN PREBLE

A fair tobacco crop of good quality,
and an unusual corn crop also of good
quality, are reported for this year by
farmers of the east and northeast parts
of Preble county.
Corn around West Alexandria will
make 60 bushels" says Frank Gazell,
tobacco warehouseman and govern
ment crop reporter. THE quality is as
good as tie yield. Tobacco is making
a good yield also, filling up shed room
rapidly, and is of very good quality.
In this section there was very little
hail or other damage either to tobac-
co or corn and storms were not even
bad enough to make the corn lean.
Yet the rains were sufficient and just
at the proper time to help the crops.
have heard of only two or three patch
es which were abandoned.
In the Miami Conservancy district,
also, hear that the crop has surpassed
all records, that it's size and quality
are unusual this year"
Report Fair Yields
Farther north, toward Lewlsburg.
the farming land is more broken, and
except in scattered spots, not quite
so fertile as around West Alexandria.
However, their reports also are of fair
to good yields of tobacco, and good
yield of high quality corn.
Both yield and quality of tobacco
are good this year, says S. E. lines.
We we're able to reset all missing
plants at just the right time, and rains
came so as to push them as fast as
the first settings. In the corn field
the same thing happened. WireWorms
killed some of the corn which was re-
planted, and frequent rains later
brought me a much better crop than
had expected. Wheat, however, was
poor of course"
Big Fall Pig Crop
A bigger fall pig crop than ever be
fore is in prospect, according TO Mr.
lines. An unusual number of sows
were bred for fall farrow and although
there is a little trouble with some lit
tiers, resulting in a slight loss, there
will be an unusual number on feec
this winter
While tobacco will not be extraordi
nary, but will be fair crop in coun
try northeast of Eaton, says c. A. Sill
vers. The corn crop is unusual Both
yield and quality in this section, are
better than for years, the quality be
ing especially good, kernels large ane
well formed, ears large and well filled
