T. G. Wynegar, the Oliver plow salesman who makes his residence in Rensselaet, reports that the water is fast receding from the Williams land near Shelby and that conditions for farming along the marsh are the best they have been for several years. The Williams dike broke through, it will be remembered, during the high water and overflowed, but the dike ditch has carried almost all the water out and already part of the land is being plowed preparatory to planting. Gang plows are finding great favor with the extensive farmers in that section. Mr. Wynegar says that with the lowering and straightening of the channel of the Kankakee the land will be a real garden 1 spot.
