EDS, JOURNAL
send you q sketch OF this country for the
benefit of your readers who intend coming
west to look for homes Other parts of the
country have the same faults as this in being
too fiat and having too much alkali. There
are several large farms in this vicinity, from
one to five sections in area, not more than
two-thirds of which has been put into crops
this season. Some farmers with 100 acres
under cultivation have not been able to seed
more than one half their land. Some are
seeding yet Grain is backward, and much
OF it is just coming up. farm 100 acres, but
was unable to seed only 450 acres this
season, which completed June LIST. There
is large amount of last years grain yet un-
threshed, much of which has been damaged
by recent heavy rains.
heavy hail storm passed over this Sec
ton last Wednesday, which would have
done much damage had not the crops been
in backward state From the appearances
now, we will have a better crop OF weeds
adapted for weeds than grain, any year.
The roads are almost impossible There
were about three weeks when it was i'm
possible to drive an empty wagon through
the streets on account OF mud. This condi-
ton of things is not confined to our little
town alone, but extends TO all the towns
along the line in this vicinity. The average
crop OF wheat last year was about ten bu-
shells per acre of No. 2 and No. wheat Ii
it continues to rain much longer, there viii
not be much OF a crop this season. II the
crops are poor this year, many will desert
their farms.
Your readers shonld not take too much
stock in the st. Paul and Minneapolis pa
pers, but come and see for themselves be-
fore bringing their families. This is very
good year to find out what the country is.
have been here two years and have not
seen good crop, and but very little No.
wheat. Our farmers mired their teams al
most daily during seed time. They would
extricate their teams and hitch long rope
TO the end OF their seeder poles and pull the
machines ont; many carried ropes for this
purpose. FARMER.
