CEDAR. VALLEY, July, 10th, 1875.
DEAR ws:-Fall wheat nearly
all now in stack. 1t is Thought BY
good judges that the yield per acre
Will not be as much as last year. The
rust has certainly damaged q great
deal OF the late sowing, and that com.
prised the majority sown last fall.
None is damaged that was sown early
and put in well. Such will make an ex-
cellent crop.
Corn is all that could be desired 4:
early planted, beginning to tassel'
Oats heavy and ready to cut; scarcely
any spring wheat raised; apples plen-
ty where trees are old enough to bear ;
peaches, scarcely any; grass excellent
and stock fat. This has been a fine
season for breaking and twice that of
any former year has already been
turned over, and yet thousands of acres
still lying unimproved.
Mr.. Edward Sauble has leased an
nnimproved farm of his brother: It
contains 40 acres; he ia 20 have the
use of 1t for three years for breaking 80
acres, and have the privilege too at the
end of three years to purchase it at Sl5

The Fourth At rruIt1aud.

FRUITLAND Lyon Co., July 9Th, 1876.
We had areal old fashioned Fourth OF
July celebration at the Neosho river near
the Humphrey ford, which, by the way,
Is one of the most beautiful spots for a
picnic on the rIvir. The committee had
the underbrush and tall weeds cleared
out OF the way, the speakers stand was
under large elm tree and was very ele-
gantly spoken OF by Rev. Mr.. Collins, of
Americas. The following was the pro-
gramme:
Music by the Fruitland choir; opening
address, Samuel C. Moore; music by the
Canaan choir, A hundred years to come; }
address, Eli Moore, (Peace); music,
Fruitland choir; Grafton, Rev. A. A.
Baily, Of Plymouth; music, Canaan choir /;
essay, by Miss Ada A. Moore, Ozone, but
not lost); music, Fruitland choir; re-
marks by Rev. Collins; dinner.
There were tables prepared by the com
mitree but the crowd was larger than an
hcipated so we had to have our own din
ner in picnic style, good social way.
We had no Spread Eagle speech, but
good sensible ones. Rev. Baily is q good
speaker and . deep thinker. He gave us
. good description Of the Centennial expo
sitlOn aS viewed by him, and OF the
thoughts impressed upon him while
viewing the relics at the exhibition, es-
pecially the old Liberty bell. The adj
dresses OF the MessrS. Moores were well
prepared and well spoken, the music was
extra, the essay by Miss Ada Moore
was one Of the best We have heard for
many year. The literary world will
hear from her before many years. The
celebration was aJoint one OF the Fruit
land and Canaan Sunday schools, and
was grand success. We only hope we
may enjoy ourselves as well the next
centennial celebration as we did at TINS
One' L,:HoRR.

We learn that several farmers east of
town who threshed their wheat last week,
was somewhat disappointed in the yield.
They had counted on twenty to twetny-
five bushels to the acre, and only got
from twelve to seventeen. We fear that
the same disappointment Will prevail in
many parts of Southern Kansas, though
the evidence we have leads us to believe
the injury by the two last rains was great
er here than in any other vicinity.
