formerly lived on the fourth minces

owns the old bomesteed fisIli, though
he and his family live in Rayfield.
The two young men had • been living
in the west tor many years and were
coming home for -Christmas. The re

As this is one of the parts-, cif the
country where beans have been ex
tensively grown for some,y ears it met'
be of interest to some lis other parts
of the country to know how growers
got along the past Beason. July and
August were so wet thee manydes
retired of reaping any but many did
fairly well after ell. East Of tbe Lon
don Reed tWo or three mites they
were %linen a failure. Por two or
three ;miles on west of the' London
Road they yielded about six or seven
bushels to the acre. At three dollars
per bushel this wasn't too bad. On
the Parr Lihe the yield went up to
sixteen bushels with Leger prices and
the returns made the .farmers smile
but hack on the Goshen Line the yield
went as high as twenty two bushels
in Borne cases and the growers were
exultant. One man near Brucefield
got 83.50 per bushel. Some are look
ing for $4 00. •
An American firm came in and con
treated with many farmers to grow
colored beans for them $1.90a bushel.
They in some cases as mdch as 50 per
cent for waste or as no good. They

Dear Friends -I now take time to
drop you a few lines as I have time
to clo a little writing. It keeps me
pretty near busy keeping up my siorre
spondence as I always try to write
home often, and there is some daft.; we
can't write very well. Well I must
thank you and 831 the people who
made up that parcel which I reedived
a few daye ago. I am sere it wee eery
kind of yen people to think 'of ' us in
that way as I was very glad to get it.
Ion know a parcel or a letter is sure
good out here, it helps to make us feel
a little more at home. The parcel was
in good condition when it reached us
in the trenches. Wen, we are nob eV
lowed to give much information, but -
things are going fine here on our front
so far. We have a lot of shelld'eg but
that ig all in the game, We boriebarc)
the German trench pretty near e'Velw
day, so I think they must be getting
enough of it. We have a lot otevet
weather which puts the treneliesen
bad shape, but we can stand it if the
Huns cen-their trench is dotal] a,
little lower than ours • so they get it
as bad or worse. Please retnembr
elhe
Lo all the people of Holmesville 'as f
cannot write to them all, I often thit*
of my old home, Good bye,
ERNIE HULLER
P. S. -I would be glad 1, hear adorn
you any time for a letter is always
welhoine, it teems to help tie ferget
that the Germane are only a few yards
away from as. Homer is well, false
myself, hopiug this finds you the game
