Goats Cleaning Brush Land
H. Ernest Conwell, prominent nur-
seryman of Milton, has started an in
nOvation in the matter of cleaning
up brush patches. He has a herd of
goats doing that thing ON his farm
east of town and they are doing a
good job of work at no cost either |
for labor or feed. The goats eat off |
the tender shoots as they appear and |
snaw the bark from larger trees, thus |
killing them. After the work of the |
goats is completed Mr.. Conwell will |
have the land plOwed and placed un- |
der cultivation.
Rain Badly Needed in BrOadkilI
That rain is badly needed in |
Broadkill hundred is readily shown
by drive through the countryside
at present. Lima beans, stringbeans
and corn are the worst sufferers, and
If rain does not come in a short time
these crops will be far below normal.
