He has a farm of 186 acres there and this year raised a crop of oats that made 40 bfishels to the acre and he has out a good acreage of corn that will make 40 bushels or more. The market prices there have been within a cent or two of the prices paid here. One of his sons has out 200 acies of corn that will make at least 40 bushels per acre on an average for the entire acreage. The same son had out 120 acres of oats that average 40 bushels. During Mr. Ringeisen’s absence a barn on his Hanging Grove township farm was struck by lightning and burned. At about the same time he suffered a lightning loss in Minnesota. About 150 bushels of oats in the> stack was burned.
