Harvest Tims.

The farmers in this vicinity have
been harvesting their wheat for . num-
Der of days past. But little Of 1t. so TAR
as we have been able TO learn, has been
injured by the rus, and the heads are
filed with large. plump grains. THIS
year has proven that the best OF wheat
can be produced in Kansas. Many
farmers Of our acquaintance. after re-
peatcd failures ia attempting to raise
wheat. have expressed themselves as
being almost discouraged even TO
despair-and concluded that this kind
Of grain could not be grown in Kansas.
Our faith on this subject has been
strong. and we have invariably endeav
ored to encourage our farmers to "try
again." anG keep trying. Had we been
farming. and had failed 10 raise wheat
af,e, repeated efforts for Eve successive
seasons, we would have tried it again,
and again. We don't believe that this
Stale will make great wheat growing

and stock raising. But the limestone

length and breadth Of the State. .togeth-
er with other natural advantages. have.
to our view always been favorable inli-
cations that. with proper culture, wheat
could be raised to advantage. II will
take several years in experimenting TO
develop the agricultural resource, and
the best method Of culture. in any new
coun;ry-just as in any other branch
of Science. We believe farming to be
