To EARMERs.-Samuel A. Low, q
citizen of this township, has resided in
Kansas about twelve years. His farm
| is on the Walnut, q few miles above
town, and is good one. Mr.. 10y IL .
man of integrity and honor--is indus
trious and withal 3 gentleman, and can
be relied on. For the benefit of cur
farmers we will state how he has sue
ceeded in raising wheat. Ten sea-
sons out of twelve he has GoWn
= crop each year. The two wears
that he did not SOW were good wheat
producing seasons, and his neiShbors
raised good crops. Now il any man
doubts this statement, we can prove is
to him. The poorest crop that he has
| ever had yielded about 10 bushels to
the acre-the best, 80 bushels TO the
acre. He never sold wheat for less
than 81 per buseel, and has received as
high as $3.50 per bushei for 9 portion
| of the wheat raised during that time.
| Mr.. 10y raised about 500 bushels of
wheat last season and can sell every
bushel of his fall wheat at 9200 per
bushel at the bin. His spring wheat
is worth $50 per bushel. Mr.. L. has
about 200 bushels of the T wheat which
he will sell for Spring sowing.
Mr.. 10y is of the opinion that this is
4 a I'D ek.AG g.
| ers can raise wheat If they will only
plant It mt the proper time and take
care OF It as it should be done.
Mr.. LOY does not devote much time
70 wheat raising, but Is more particu-
larry engaged in stock raising, and has
succeeded well. He saye il farmers
will raise wheat and cattle they will
not be complaining OF hard times.
