The ground has seldom been found
in September so moist and in such
fine condition for seeding to wheat
compared with last season, the labor
of preparing it is but trihiug. Now
is the time to get in your seed. The
wheat crop was failure this, season
and that grain must consequently
rule highin the market Many far
mers hardly raised their seed. The
. high prices asked for good wheat
may deter many from sowing as
many acres as they otherwise would

We urge our live farmers to SOW
all they can. Do not be discouraged
because of failure this year. Your
corn crops will likely be more than
average. The price of corn will GER
tainly not fall below one dollar Sell
corn in order to buy seed wheat even
at two dollars and fifty cents per

Procure none but good seed. Do
not buy an inferior quality of seed,
simply because you can get it at
lower price. A failure in your crop
next season may open your eyes to
the folly of such course. Prepare
your ground as thoroughly as yonr
means and time will Justify. Buy,
borrow or hire grain drill because
by ityou will save seed, labor and
time, all of which are to you, money.
The past season proved the utility of
the drill. Fields sown with it, yield
ed a much greater average than those
in the same neighborhood sown

Have your crop in the ground ear

rooted before frost sets in. You
