Alf Donnelly Has Two Fine Fields of Onions

Alf Donnelly of north of town has two fine looking fields of onions that were apparently little if any “injured by the heavy rains of Saturday and Sunday nigbis. The onion fields about Newland are thought to have been greatly damaged, as most of them Were under water. If the water does not cover them too long, however, they may not be so badly damaged after all, as the sun was not hot enough to cook them as it did last year.
