THE CROPS,

Wheat sowing is over for this sea-
son. Some of the crop was put in in
good time and is looking well, but n
large portion Of il was put in late, on
account of the grasshoppers. But the
season has been favorable and il is all
up and looking well. There Is full
crop sown, and perhaps the acreage is
fraction over previous years. The
farming area was extended, at least,
one-fourth thisy year, perhaps one-third,
but the wheat crop will not cover all
of that addition.
Unles there is u change in the minds
of the farmers, between this and
spring, there will not be so much cot.
ton planted. The oat crop will be in
creased largely, and there is considera-
BILE inquiry for barley and rye for seed,
but little of which has been sown since
the war. Colonel Crockett has sown
and moved three crops of grass from
the same piece of land this year. They
We're of millet and Hungarian grasses
The last crop was sown on the Sth and
9th of September and moved on the
10th to 18th of October, turning off u
very fine crop.
No such farming country in the
world but man must be vigilant of
seasons and times-he must plan wise
ly and execute promptly. The wheat
crop may be followed Immediately
with grass, peas, broom corn and other
crops that will mature in time, and
thereby realize u double crop each
year, from the same land.

THE ARMY TELEGRAPH WIRE CUT
TER,

The trial by court martial of lleu'
tenant Hodgson, United States army
for cutting the telegraph wires In Lou
ialana and otherwise behaving In u
tyannIcal manner, will be hailed with
satisfaction by all who wish 10 see the
nordio Of the army restored TO lls anti
belum standard. II Is the desire Of
the gentlemen Of the army 10 eliminate
from II those elements which rellcc'
upon II. There was time In our his
tory when there was no prouder dis
tlnction than that Of being an officer
Of the army, II was n patent of gen.
tlemanhood and soldlershlp. The de-
moralIzation Of the war; and the pro-
motions from the ranks, the appoint
ments through mere political inllu-
ence, have degraded the army almost
to the corrupt and vulgar standard Of
congress. An old army officer writes
"that 1t 10 no longer place or II career
for gentleman.n The class of men In
II are not the class the army was sup
piled from before the war. II Is in the
power, MS it Is the wish of the old army
officers, TO restore the same esprit IL
corps IL once had. This can only b(
done by maintaining criterion o
character, honorable, soldierly ant
well bred. Makea example of Hodg
son and others, who disgrace the uni
form they wear, and the thing will
soon right itself.
