FINE FARMING LANDS Di-
rectly West of US, after passing
over the swamps on either side of
the State line, the Kent County
railroad enters region of super
ior agricultural lands, embracing
the towns of Massey, KennedyviIIe.
Lynch's Station, etc. Near the lat
ter we had the pleasure, a few
days ago of seeing a wheat field
of as fine a breadth of acres as
we have observed this year, well
advanced in growth, deep in color
and promising a handsome yield.
This field or fields is on the farm
of Colonel George H. Raymond Of
this town and numbers 80 acres.
The farm containing 325 acres, has
a deep red clay subsoil that serves
as a valuable substratum for re-
tanning all the fertilizing material
that may be placed on it and with
such enterprising farming as the
tenant Mr.. Hendrickson gives, can
not be otherwise than profitable.
The valuable natural quality Of the
soil is especially manifested in the
vigorous clover fields that surpass
anything we have seen. The corn
planting in land thoroughly pull
verized, numbers 100 acres. Ad-
joining this and originally Of the
same track is the farm Of Mrs. M.
A. Cummins, 275 acres Of similar
quality and showing the same
careful and profitable culture.
Good buildings and fine hedges
abound throughout this region as
it should where nature has done a
hundred per cent more for it than
in many sections.
