The sweet potato crop in this sec
tion has been harvested and is one
of the largest in years. The yield
has been far above expectation and |
the sweets are large in size and of |
excellent quality. George P. Reed, |
residing near Milton, harvested a
large crop and found ten potatoes
that filled a So truck basket heap |
ing up. Another grower, William |
Dawson, has one that weighed 6 !
pounds and S ounces, and many that !
tipped the beams at four and five |
pounds. Most of the crop is being
stored for later market--the pres
ent price being below the cost of
growing them.
Thrifty farmers have about COM
pleted drilling the wheat crop and
most of them are about done husk-
ing corn. OF course there will be
some who will, as usual, leave this
job until they are compelled to
brave the cold weather to husk out
enough TO feed their stock during
the winter.

DickersOn, local dairyman, will re-

ford has been twelce cents for the
past eight or ten months, Mr.. Dick
