Severe Accident
Joshua Millman ,One of our expert
axemen, met with a painful accident
one day last week. 1t seems that Mr.
Millman was in the woods working
and in reaching for his axe his foot
slipped, causing him to fall, when
his wrist came into contact with the
blade of the axe, making a fearful
wound. He was rushed to the Mil
ford Emergency Hospital, where
several stitches had to be taken to
close the wound.
Mr.. Millman is suffering greatly
on account of the wound, and it will
be many days before he will be able
to resume work again.
Beetles
The Japanese Beetle will soon
make its appearance, and we are
sorry to say that the Mexican beetle
has already made it's appearance and
is feasting on the crops of string
beans. The lima bean crop has es-
capped so far, but when they have
eaten the string bean crop, we may
expect them to make inroads on the
| lima beans. .
Farm News
The corn crop is looking fine.
Wheat is showing an improved
condition and will prove more re-
munerative than was first expected.
Soy beans are looking fine, if the
season should prove favorable will
yield an abundant crop.
Strawberries proved to be a short
crop. The dry weather has retarded
the yield to great extent.
Blackberries with a plenty of rain
should prove paying crop.
The white potato crop should be
a bumper one. The recent rains will
go far on making a good yield
The pea crop has proved failure. |
Farmers are now busy planting |
their tomato fields-with a good |
season-this should prove a paying |
venture.
The sweet potato fields will be
heavy this year-and those who are
able to house and keep them will be |
amply paid for their trouble.
Cherries, plums, peaches and ap-
pies crop while not plentiful will be
enough for home use but only few
will be shipped.
