Up to High Standard

hardship for the farmers of Middle
Paxton township to wheel Into line

farming made necessary and desir

succeeded him in the same high de
gree. Adam Milton Fertig did much
to bring and keep this land to a de
gree of high cultivation, and Elias
Ellis will do honor to the Fertig
name in the same way.
