Price of Wheat and EHOuI-A
smart idea-and-sO-fOrt11.
Wheat and flour are on the. rise and
may soon bear high price. The cause
q this rise il, that the wheat crop Of the
coming harvest must be small, owing to
the exceptionable weather and impossible
ty to put in large or even average crops
We hear farmers say they intended to SOW
thirty acres in wheat but will be unable to
| put in over twenty acres on account Of the
weather and late season.
Also, it is remarkable, never failing
truth, that when the price of any farm
product is low this year, farmers are sure
to raise less of that product next year, and
thereby contribute to . high future price
By neglecting to raise supplies. a shrewd
farmer might, it seems TO- us, be able to
see into and profit by this rule Of con-.
trays. This year, farmers ought to put
in large crops Of wheat, as the price is sure
ito be up. The late spring and short time
allotted to blowing will limit the forth
coming crop toa lower than average.

A WORD TO FARMERS ABOUT WHEAT.
The season is late, but the old settlers
tell us that as good crops of wheat as they
ever raised were put in from the tenth to
the fifteenth Of May. This will be a prof.
table crop, we have no doubt considering
the future in all its bearings. Winter
Wheat is tolerably we'll reported in 9th er
parts, but the complaints Of backward
season and short time for blowing are gen.
eral in all parts Of the country wherever
spring wheat is raised. Consequently, a
limited crop is expected and a correspond :
ing demand and high price. Il is hoped
therefore, that farmers will plow and SO W
all the ground they car, even thou gh they
get in their crops late. as'3 2e
HOMES IN GRANT CoUNTY.-The time
has never been in Grant County, nor do
we expect ever to see the like again, when
50 fnatty choice farm locations--near mar
kets, schools and every convenience, un-
der fine cultivation and Improvement, with
excellent water, timber and buildings,
were offered for sale. Our columns pre-
sent but few of the many offers. Farms
are offere low-we think much under the
cost ofland and improvements. The pro-
prietors, as a general thing, are of that
class whose attachments are not strong
for home and easy life; they came to
the country as adventures, and border
life suits them best; they have been over
taken by railroads and other progressive
landmarks, and cannot stand such mon
strous developments. Their beautiful
homes are offered cheap, and we hope an
equally generous and excellent people,
though with stronger procliyities for home
and comfort, may come and buy them out.
