Mr. and Mrs. Sol Guth, of Washington, 111., came over today to visit their farms in Jasper county. Corn is looking good in their part of Illinois and oats there was somewhat better than in this section of Indiana, turning out from 30 to 50 bushels to the acre. The yield In Jasper county this year will probably average very little better than 30 bushels. Illinois high priced land, however. Is probably not a bit ahead of us on corn.

P. M. Parker, who is interested in tree fruit growing and who is convinced that much of the local failure is due to the careless handling of orchards, brought to The Republican office Tuesday a shoe box filled with choice pears. "Here is a little proof,” said Mr. Parker, "that it is not necessary to move to California to raise fruit.” He stated that the trees had been trimmed and sprayed and given the same attention that is given them in the fruit growing countries. The pears were a golden color with a red blush on the cheeks and as choice as any purchased in the market from shipped in fruit * They were smooth, free.from specks and the kind that would prove grqait sellers st big prices. Probably there is not .an orchard owner in Jasper county that gives more intelligent attention to his trees than Mr. Parker, and the result 1s an abundant crop of fine fruit each year.
