The editor Of the Argu, walls be
cause the candidates did not see fit TO buy
him a new suit IF clothes The venerable
brother evidently looses sight Of the fact
that a man sho ba- no political influence
has no right to expect such tayors. We
are told that the venerable editors good
clothes have become t~hIeadbarc, and
that two holes the size Of a saucer adcrns
that part Of his pants generally obscurcd
by the coat tail, but We carnot see how
the people can help it unless he should
become an object Of charity. Better brace

yol there has been quite a change in this
part of the country. Farmers have become
satisfied that had they fall plowed their
ground in August. when the ground war
exceedingly wet, now they could have
sowed fall wheat, but hv he time the
ground is plowel since the rain, and the
wheat sOwcd it will be to late to SOW
wheat, so you see there are always sorDe
who will grumble au! find fault with Ne
braska on account Of their own bad mar
sgement. From observations 10 for
mcr years, ] became thoroughly convinced
that We would have dry weather ia Sep
TENDER aud therefore made haste aud ac-
complished the blowing Of thirty five
acres ready for SOWING and in due season
sowcd it with Michigan white fall wheat,
and don't think | ever saw a more fat
terIBg prospect for a crop as IL LIS all up
and growing tiue. As 1 had heard so much
talk about wheat raising il Nebraska ard
of so many different ways for sowing l
was at loss for a while how to SOW mine,
tut finally hit upon a plan Of my own.
| think is the best way of putting in
Wtcdt, - 4 Eau u ISsuIt 10 some ut1cF
plan BESIDES drilling. | sowed some of
mine with a cultivator aad seeder attach
ment and some | sowcd brC adcast and
cultivated. | sowed east and west across
the field and without recourse to the bar
row, this leaves the ground very rough
and il any snow falls through the winter
it viii lie sure to lodge ~ the burrows,
keeping the wheat from freezing through
the winter ard also in the spring the
ground will be moist 50 the carly dry
weather viii not effect it very much, and
early in the spring | shall give il a thor
ough rolling and if | don't raise any
wheat then you will probably hear from
NE again on this subject.
One word of praise far the CHIEF and
her | am done for this time. Ofall the
newspapers | am reading at present,
(which is four in numberl there is zone
of them so welcome as the CHIEF. La
comes filled with the news of the county
and state, and who is it that don't ike to
hear what is going on in their OWN county
and state. When l get my mail i. is
first thing | seek after and generally find
it about once a week. it is far ahead of
any paper published in ibe Republican
Nslley. Long may it wave.
Youis truly, ID. s. HELyERN.
