Fine Field of Com.
One of the finest lie ds of corn
in the county is that of Alderman
IIT T* 1*? ?
; w . js. rivier in the northern suburb
ot town. There are about
20 acres in t he field and capable
judges say that the yield will be
at lea>t 50 bushels to the acre.
1'ho corn w-s'planted the IStti of
May, and the growth was so rapid
that Oapt. P.yler was forced to
' lay by" the com in less than
two ni n'tis. In planting and
cult v t ou ('apt Plyler says that
he didn't follow the celebrated
Williams n method, but a plan
of bis own, which is to "work last
and manure as often.*'
" Another Ayylts Foitml in, the
County.
Mr. John W. Walters, of the
Tradesville section, presented us
Thursday with a nice little apple.
He fays he found two in
' his orchard, put them both in his
' buggy and started to town. Unfortunately
however, under the
1 seat along with the apples was a
rooster with a fondness for fruit
equal to that of a Chester editor,
and by the time Mr. Walters
" reached here the larger and bet ter
1 apple of the two was inside the
1 blanketv blank old cock.
! One of Mr. Walters's neighbors
" sent us word by him that he has
a peach which we can have for
five dollars. We refer the peach
possessor to our plethoric-pursed
t /^l i
i onesier contemporary, as our
pocket-book at present looks ex
actly like thirty cents.
