Little Miss Moore, on one-tenth of an acre, raised 3,300 pounds of tomatoes and in her report says: "I had little trouble exoept the bore worm.'' She says in her report too, that she didn't bother to put out poison to fight Ehe worms with but made it her dusRess to kill any she found. This hild raised and canned her crop ac a otal expenditure of $28.20, and sold he product for $99.10 making a net rkf 170 70 on her one-tenth of an mi;;: ~ It is noteworthy thac the highest Br profit shown by any man or boy on a m whole acre of corn in the State con test was $117.70.

The reporter got a letter lately from a friend that is very much appreciated. There is one thing in the lettoy wh!/>h ho wflnfs tn a note. He has Ifceen hesitating about it, but in the meantime has been "rolling it as a sweet morsel under his tongue," although such is not what people generally "roll as sweet morsels" under their tongues. Hesitating about it because of its praise, which, although pleasant, and "we all like it," is much like "blowing one's own horn." But as people do blow their own horns, or Ithey would "never be biowed,' ana as the reporter thinks the public will excuse the remarks, he ventures them here, and gives a short part of a very interesting and complimentary (unexpected) letter: ' "You make a paper man, or a paper worth reading. It seems to me you let things in a paper that are interKsting, and news that is not put in others. And the way of saying it has a great deal to do with it." [Begging forgiveness for copying the above, the reporter would like to say that he likes that, especially the latter sentence, and as he is only human, is glad that his friend wrote it, although it took him by surprise?was ^so sudden." He fetls he is excusable, as everybody knows he iikes to quote I pleasant remarks about others. This is just to keep the record straight. FOB DULY OF PRATER. if. C. T. U.
