*■ Gephart home on South
Macomb avenue. Really it Is
an attractive spot and just
goes to show what one can
produce on a small city lot.
Mr. Gephart’s hobby as we have
told you before is gardening
and If you could but take a
peek through his garden gate
you would agree with us when
we say he is a good one. Be-
sides having many varieties of
flowers and vegetables he has
a strawberry lied and are they
good? Well, we can vouch for
that. Mr. Gephart proved him-
self a perfect host and served
us berries right from the
plants. Oriental (orange col-
ored) popples seemed to he his
pet flowers and we wish to
state they are very beautiful.
In this world it is not what
we take up, but what we give
up, that makes us rich.—

Crop prospects In Canadian
county are unusually good, It was

I munltles. The cool spring was
j a handicap to some crops, but
was equally helpful to others.

Cleveland courtroom as he testified Schmeling of Germany, the chant- ,,f weather and temperatures will
to pion, July 3. use ti1(J date of harvest to vary.
J The fields are even with good
stands and the wheat has a ''good
color." Some of Ihe wheat Is
reported not filling out well at
the bottom of the head, but only
in scattered sections.
Gals: One of the largest yields
in recent years Is In prospect in
Canadian county with time for
harvest nearing.
Alfalfa: First crop, described
as "pretty good", is practically
all In the barn or stack. Some
weeds, as usual with the spring
crop, were noted In the Initial
cutting.
Corn: A hit "backward” due to
Ihe cool spring. The stocks are
a few inches to a little over a
foot In height. Hot, growing
weather, with enough rains to
keep moisture in the soil, is the
main need of corn at the present
! time.
