" A good, warm, t w o or three-day rain would be a godsend," Roger W. Cramer, agricultural agent , commented . I t would be "a million dollar rain," h e said.
The rain late Friday night and

early today, brought mild relief but is far from enough to bring soil conditions back to normal.
About 75 per cent of the oats are seeded, and the first of them are up, the agent reported. It Is still too early and too cool for corn, but the fields are too hard and too dry to plow for corn anyway.

The house is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Comer Reynolds, and the land is owned and farmed by Corner and his brother, Duane Reynolds, who resides in another house closer to Sherman.
The farm probably has always been a dairy farm, with a few sheep and hogs kept at various times, and is noted in the region for its quality maple syrup. One neighbor says he can select syrup from the farm by its taste.
Major D. Reynolds, founder of the farm, was born in 180-1 in Vermont. He pur-

tember, 1825. He married a Vermont
girl. Huldah Durham, who was much younger than he, and brought her to the-home, located about a mile and a half east of the Sherman Cemetery corners. He built a log cabin, and began clearing the land.
They had eight children
of whom six lived to adulthood. They were Alzina, born 1840: Melvln, 1843; Adelaide, 1848; Samantha, 1850: Myron, 1852; and Maior Allan, known as Allan, In 1854.
The founder moved the log cabin, and built the present house, although the date is not known. The present barn is part of the original horse bam.
Allan Reynolds married Miona Waterman, Town of Mina, Dec. 27, 1874. They lived for a time on what is now known as the -'30 acres," located east of the farm, later purchased from Mrs. S. M. Paddock. The only sign now of former buildings there is a grove of old fruit trees.
After Major's death, the estate was put up for public auction to settle the estate. Since Allan was administrator, he could not bid on the farm. However, his wife bid it i t for $1,650. and the farm remained tin the family.
Allan and Miona had three children, Mrs. Edna Reynolds Bradley, bom 1876; Duane, horn 1882 and Comer, bom
1894. All are now living. After Allan's death, Mrs.
Reynolds decided to sell the plare. A family from the West moved in, with the intention ot buying, but later moved West again and the deed never changed hands.
The two sons, Comer and Duane, received the farm after Mrs. Reynolds' death.
The homt appears today much as It did originally, except for the addition of an enclosed porch. About 32 years ago .in the spring, a freak wind swept the area and blew down the original barn. The door disappeared, and was eventually found out in a field, under the manure pile.
Comer Reynolds married Blanche Freeman, and f.iey have two children, Mrs. Rosalind Weston, Brocton, and Allan Reynolds, living in New Mexico; and an adopted daughter.
Mrs. Bradley and her husband, Carl Bradley, reside with Duane Reynolds, who is unmarried. The Bradley's have one daughter, Mrs. Lois McGrath, living in Kentusky.
