they did during the hot spell WI
have just passed through.
While as we have already sale
early corn is mostly a failure-la.
ter planting is looking fine an(
promises a good yield.
Tomatoes are ripening and as the
yield promises to be fair, this
should bring to the farmers some
thing to swell their bank accounts
The prices are ruling high.
Late potatoes are looking fine and
we have no doubt but what they will
yield abundantly.
Soy beans-in some fields they
seem to be growing and the yield
from these fields will be more than
expected.
Sweet potatoes bid fair to make a
bumper yield. Many of our farmers
have grown rich in growing this
crop.
Watermelons and canta!oupes are
growing less daily and those who
are so fond of this kind of fruit will
have to soon pass them by--until
another year.
Lime beans-the intense heat
which prevailed some time back,
which at one time growers thought
the crop ruined-the recent rains
have put new life in the vines and
small pods have put forth and bid
fair to mature.
Peaches which have been more
plentiful than at first thought will
soon be thing of the past.
Apples will be plentiful and a
look at the Hammond Orchards near
Lincoln and see the immense crop
of apples which are now on the
trees, which will bear out the above
assertion.
Accident
Robert A. Warren who is erecting
a new building on McCaulley avenue
met with a painful accident one day
last week. Mr.. Warren was at work
using a ladder which slipped and in
falling threw him on the ground,
breaking three ribs. Mr.. Warren has
suffered severely for the past week
but is now better and able to be
