THE HUS7:
The following item appeared in the
Red Wing Advance of July 26. 1t was
left by some person Oh the edit RS ia
ble, and, supposing it to be all right, it
#
We are Informed by gentleman just
returned from WortEngton, that the
prospect now is that the wheat crop in
that vicinity will be almost a total fail
urc. Owing to the dry weather, the
grain is all turning red and drying up.
This will he Il great drawback to that
section, which has been scOurgeu with
grasshoppers for several years past. and
will have u tendency to check the immi-
grafton that has been flowing into that
country for the past year.
Items of this kind, of course, are cal
culated to do us II great deal of injury.
The whole item bears the ear marks of
having been written by some malicious
person who wanted to ''check the i'm
migration that has been flowing into
that country for the past year."
Now, lis to the facts. We have
heard but one story from the farmers
for the past month, viz: that there nev-
CT was, any year or anywhere, a finer
prospect for a wheat crop than there is
this year. Within the past ten days
we hear that III several parts of the
county the red rust has appeared on
the blades, mot on the stalks, and that
SO far no injury has resulted.
OF course, the wheat crop is never
safe until it is marketed. But Mobiles
county, and in fact all Southwestern
Minnesota, give promise now of the
finest wheat crop ever grown in this
part of the State.
We had little item in last week say
ing that two grasshoppers had been
picked up on a farm near here. We
will wager Il hair space that this item
will turn up in the Red Wing Advance,
Or some other paper, in about the fol-
| lowing form: 1.-The grasshoppers have
again appeared in Mobiles county by
millions and have already destroyed
the crops. This will have Il tendency
to check the flow Of immigration into
that fine prairie region which appears
to be doomed to an annual invasion.
Better stick to the TIMBER"
TIE FouETH.-W orthington will
distribute this year Instead Of concen-
trating on the Fourth Of July. Sever
al Sabbath school pic-n1cs were talked
Of but they fell through. There will be
a celebration at Graham Lakes, and
Gov. Miller will flaunt the American
Eagle and the Star Spangled Banner in
the faces of the people. The WORTH
ington Band expect to be present to
melt the multitude for the reception
of the Governors Grafton. There will
be 4 gathering at Indian Lake and our
friends at Miller also expect to have a
good time.
AS for the ADVANCE, we shall prob
ably gather Mrs. ADVANCE and the
little ADVANCES together and read
them the Declaration Of Independence,
the creed and shorter catechiSm. Zeph-
aniah Aminadab will fire his toy pistol
and explode pack of crackers in the
dining-room, while Charles Augustus
Jehosaphat will furnish the music on
his toy drum and tin. trumpet. Thus
we shall teach our children to remem-
Der the sacrifices of our forefathers and
to appreciate the liberties bequeathed
to future generations. (For particu-
lars See small bills.)
