View School House, (near Weid1e's
Bridge.) This organization is composed
of a very intelligent class of farmers.
Their discussions have been produc
tive of much benefit. BY. consulting to-
geiher, and thereby interchanging their
observations and experience. on the va
riOus branches Of agriculture, each one
gains information that is valuable.
In this paper viii be found the pro-
ceeding of their club meeting. They
propose hereafter, to ship their grain
and buy their goods from 81. Louis or
some other city. They complain consid-
erably of Nebraska merchants. But the
merchants also have just cause to com
plain of some of the farmers. They
have sold them goods under promises 10

over But in many inst ances harvest
came and passed and came again with
out either grain or money. The price
paid for grain has been low ; but owing
to the quality Of eur spring wheat and
the markets at St. Louis, it was neces-
sarily so. If farmers would all pay for
