They arrived at Yonkers last niznt, and are to start from Getty square at 8 o'clock, reaching the city line, at Broadway and Van Cortlandt park, half an hour later. “The trip was made for my health, said D.

Dean Bailey of the College of Agriculture of Cornell presented the other side of a much-discussed matt when he talked to the fruitgrower the state at Sodus on Frida th subject of abandoned farms. It is oft- en declared that there is great loss of potential wealth in the abandon-d farms. But Prof. Bailey says that much sentiment has been wasted o so-called abandoned farms; that farm- ing has been suspended on some lands for good economic reasons. and that farming will not begin again upon them until conditions demand it. Al this is true, of course.
