What WIN 1887 Bring
TO The Farmersl

AO Ihe Thrmerst
This is one of the serious ques-
tions that faces community en-
tireiy dependant upon agriculture
for its economic security. During the
lean years the farmers were caught
In the whirlpool of disaster by low
prices for their produce and high
prices when they went into the mar
ket to buy necessities for the farm
and home. From a viewpoint as to
the present year by many of the
most conservative farmers the out
look is far more rosy. With the ad-
vent of rising prices of practically
all agricultural commodities, the
"bogey man" of agriculture is will
there be an over production of farm
crops? Many of those who have stu
died this question seriously say no.
Possibly there might be an under
consumption.
Spring-Like Days In January
In Old Sussex
The farm weather of the past few
days would lead one to believe that
spring wa son its way with the
songs of birds and chirping of frogs.
But in most of the cases we have
remembered so vivid in the past. il
is only a lull in the leasons just to
give "Old Man Winter" a better op-
portunity to marshall all his icy
legions.
Private Treasure Near
The Indian River Inlet
Those of us who live near the /
above mentioned place, were some
what astounded when we heard the |
voice OF w. S. COrkran a few Sun
days ago coming over the radio in
the program I'VE the People,"
broadcasting from New York. de-
scribing the finding of old coins near
that place. People of this district
and adjoining ones have been finding
old coins along or near the Inlet for
many years at intervals. No one
knows how they got there. But there
is an old legend that the Indians
who once lived near the Indian Riv-
er and Inlet, knew about the coins.
Possibly the shore line extended
much further out into the Atlantic
Ocean than ii does today, and that
he inlet was a real one at that time.
