Last Friday we stopped at the Opekasit Farm, Federal pike, where farming is dorie on a big scale. Not only is there always a large acerage o f wheat, -corn, oats, soy beans and hay, -but several hundred- h e a d -o f cattle must be fed daily as well "ns 1 hogs by almost countless scores,- We noticed an unusual feat where one field o f very heavy corn was being larvested l>y machine powbr and trucked to another field -across the road where it is shocked fo r feeding purposes. The experiment is to see ust what different it makes on a prop o f wheat where they will be no oc­ casion for crossing it 'during the winter or spring season. Much improvement has been made’ on the farm during the season and one barn on the headquarters, farm has been converted into a grain ele­ vator. Last year a small elevator was erected with machinery for pre­ paring all kinds o f feed for live livestock. We had the pleasure o f meeting Mr, Matthews, Cincinnati, who heads the company operating-the land. This same company has another big. tract near Glendale, on it being an orchard o f some 400' acres where all kinds of fruit are grown. The apple corp" is estimated by Mr. Matthews at more than 40,000 bushels this year. Another large orchard is on a farm near Ports­ mouth, O.
