Warren, Rock- PHILIPSVILLE, May 14.--Parming operations are not very brisk these days. The land {is not drying up very fast and thus {the weather is so cold there is very little growth in the ground, Where | there was ground that could be seed- | ed the grain is looking very yellow. A | car of potatoes was unloaded at the junction last week at $2.80 a bushel, and not a first quality at that, wil- lian John Earl is very low, and not | much hope of his recovery. He has) been in poor health for a number of | years. From a two days drive across the country the meadows are looking | fine as far as being winter killed, | but there is not much growth owing {to the cold and backward spring. | Owing to the fall of 1916 being so dry there was very little fall wheat sown, but what we saw came through | the winter very well. The dairymen | are still housing their cows, wv few are let out on the pasture in the day time. They have sent their young and dry stock away to pas- ture. One farmer drove away over thirty head. Miss L., M. Blackburn | left last Friday morning to visit Mrs. H. H. Hillis at Vankleek Hill for a few months, Mr. Vananiwerp, of De- troit, is on a visit at his brother-in- law.
