proper to return to his first love- he will still find the
tariff actof 1916 the law Of the land and he will still
find the Democracy fighting against its modification
even to the sugar clause. We stand just where he

From year to year, as the soil Of our Ter
ritory becomes more thoroughly tested by
the introduction of thoroughly skilfnl agri-
cultural labor, we find its fertility andquick-
ness Of production proving up results which
those of US who were its first occupants new
er dreamed Of The crops the present year,
although the season at first was a very unfa-
vorable one, promise more than equal to
those of any former year. Winter grain, es-
pecially, has been unusually successful. The
wheat, rye and barley, have been harvested
and the yield of each is so great that croak-
ers are completely silenced. Spring wheat
and oats are somewhat short In straw upon
the more sandy lands, but the ears are large
and well filled with heavy grain. Corn never
looked better in any country. All the fields
we have seen or heard of are more than usu
ally forward, an will be entirely out of the
way of frost.
In the way of vegetables and fruits, we are
this year ahead of our neighbors in the vi
cinity of Galena and Dubuque. Two weeks
ago, Messrs. Gibbs and Griggs, farmers il
the neighborhood of Kaposia, Dakota Co.
introduced the first melons and tomatoes o
the season into the st. Paul market. Al
that time, none of these articles had appear
ed in the markets of the cities below which
we have named. The first melons which
graced the tables 70 the packet boats wer,

four or five miles of the city. At this time
all descriptions of summer vegetables, are al
plentiful in our market as in St. Louis o.
