Babcock, Editor, Dear Sir: Enclosed please find $2.25 for your "Best offer.” I guess we could riot keep house without The Democrat We are having quite a lot of rain now but crops look fine, and there is promise of a bumper fruit crop, gardens are fine. We all have the best of health. Yours CHAS. D. XORMAX. Wellston, Mich., May 23, 1914. Mr. Babcock. Dear Sir: —We are all well arid hope that everybody there is the same. What crops that are growing now are looking fine, such as wheat, rye, oats, clover and timothy. Some people planted corn this week, and most of it will be planted next week. They do not plant potatoes up here unti'l the latter part of June or the first of July. We have been having forest fires for over a week, but the rain Thursday night put them out. It burned the saw-mill south of us and all the lumber and buildings. It was so hot that it melted the stoves up liKe so much lead. There was not much wind when it went through here, and we managed to save everything. Yours truly, MATT MOOSEMIDLER.
