Feb.  22.  The  weather  has  been  very 
changeable  with  alternate  freezing  and 
thawing  whi.ch  has  caused  wheat  to  turn 
red.  While  we  have  had  a  number  of 
light  snows  there  have  been  no  heavy 
ones  to  block  the  roads.  Feed  has  been 
plentiful  and  stock  vi  wintering  very 
well.  Fanners  are  contracting  willi  the 
farmers  to  grow  peas,  sugar  corn  and 
tomatoes.  The  price  being  offered  for 
shelled  peas  is  $50  per  ton,  while  $10 
per  ton  for  botli  sugar  corn  and  toma¬ 
toes  is  being  offered.  Owing  to  the  scar¬ 
city  and  high  price  of  fertilizer  and  fer¬ 
tilizer  material  a  much  smaller  quantity 
will  he  used  this  season  than  usual. 
White  potatoes  are  bringing  high  prices 
while  sweet  potato  growers  are  discour¬ 
aged,  as  this  is  two  seasons  in  succes¬ 
sion  that  prices  of  sweets  have  been 
low.  Some,  have  commenced  sowing  their

fourth  Alsike.  The  price  of  Medium  Red 
seed  is  $13  this  Spring,

in  the  midst  of  a  large  fruit

used  in  refrigerator  cars  during  the  com¬ 
ing  fruit  season.  The  prospect  for  fruit 
is  all  right  at.  this  tunc.  At  a  public  sale 
horses  sold  from  $55  to  $1(10  while  liis 
best  cows  averaged  $7<)  per  head.  Dur¬ 
ing  the  Spring  of  1015  farm  analysis  rec¬ 
ords  nf  55  farms  in  this  section,  princi¬ 
pally  fruit  growing  lands  were  taken 
by  the  F.  8.  Department  of  Agriculture. 
A  complete  report  of  this  analysis  has  not 
yet  been  compiled  hut  it  is  believed  that 
the  figures  will  prove  of  great  value  not 
only  to  these  farmers  lnit  others  through¬ 
out  the  County  who  arc  largely  interest¬ 
ed  in  fruit  growing.  liens  are  beginning 
to  lay  well  and  the  price  of  eggs  has 
dropped  to  20c  per  doz.  c.  n.

December  17,  says:  “It  is  not  improbable  that  there  are  men 
now  living  in  the  corn  belt  who  will  live  to  see  the  price  of  corn 
average  as  high  as  a  dollar  a  bushel Corn  is  worth  growing
