A great many farmers are just about done breaking for corn. The oats crop looks a little pale'. The ground is loose, never having had a good heavy rain since the oats were sown. Where farmers have rolled their ground the oats look better than where it has been left loose.

The fruit trees of all kinds have a great deal of bloom. The prospects seem good for a fruit crop. Some farmers are spraying trees, but there are too many who do not. They give up the fruit crop on the theory that fruit cannot be grown in Indiana successfully. They presume this even after the abundance of bloom is present. Raising fruit is profitable and it is not nearly so difficult, as it might at first seem even in Indiana. The only trouble is that to secure fruit with certainty and of good quailty, certain things must be done, one of these is spraying. Spraying must be done at the right time, too. It takes more care to raise fruit now than when the country was new. It also takes more care to raise corn, and wheat, and hogs and cattle, but they are all much more valuable and profitable than they were when they were raised easily and with little care and expense. All farm products must be produced more systematically than formerly. There are many people putting out fruit trees who should attend fruit growers meetings and learn a few of the fundamental necessities of growing good fruit. Some ^people who grow fruit think as good fruit can be grown in Indiana as any State in the Union.

The country seems to be full of young stock. Pigs, lambs, calves and colts are very common everywhere. There are fewer colts than other class of young stock. Many farmers say that there is not much money in raising colts even at the present price of horses. They insist that there is not much money in hogs, cattle and sheep. If there is not sufficient profit in raising colts when horses sell from $375 to $300, then it is not strange that horses are so high priced. The traction engine and motor cars are sure to become more common unless the supply of horses is increased. Powpr machinery, it seems, has become a necessity. (Farmer A.)

Jacob Loy has moved to Pendleton where he has opened up a restaurant.

Mrs. Theodore Winn and daughter, Carrie, have returned to their home in Indianapolis, after spending a few dayB here with Paul Boyd and family

and Jesse Walker and family.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, APRIL l^, 1910.

On Tuesday evening the friends and neighbors of Elder and Mrs. J. M. Thompson gathered together to welcome them back home from their sojourn in the south. A well packed porch and lawn was what confronted Mrs. Thompson's astonished eyes on opening the door. Mr. Thompson, who did not grasp the situation at once, arose to his feet and looked around with unbelieving eyes. All he could say was "Why what—what." He soon learned what it all meant and both he and Mrs. Thompson exerted themselves to show their guests a pleasant evening. In a few well chosen words he expressed their appreciation of the honor which their friends had shown them. Refreshments of cream and cake, which had previously been prepared by some of the guests, were served. All returned to their home, having spent a very pleasant evening.
