He reports the oats crop in his sec- tion as looking fine, but the grain is not paning out as expected, the heads being very chaffy, and it is his opinion that a half crop will be the result in his neighborhood. Several years ago five men pur- chased 2,200 acres of land in Howell county, Missouri, for the purpose of establishing a fruitfarm. They now have 61,000 peach trees, 32,000 apple 200 pear and 600 cherry trees, all bearing, and forty acres in small fruit.
