farms comprise 235 acres. Mr. Tilton leases the mainland farm and personally operates the one on Sheik's Island. Sixty cattle, 7 horses, 30 swine and over 200 fowl are a part of the livestock equipment of the two farms. Fifteen hundred bushels of grain, 100 tons of hay, 20 acres of corn, 500 bushels of potatoes and over 50 barrels of fruit represents the annual harvest of these two farms. Mr. Tilton has, through perseverance and pluck, worked up from practically nothing to a prosperous and substantial farmer. He acquired 100 acres to add to the original 15 acres he inherited on Sheik's Island, and latterly purchased the 116-acre farm on the mainland known as the Arthur Mattice farm. |
