Nice weather, and the farmers art
busy cultivating corn, 80 as to be ready
for the harvest, which will be here
soon.
As Charles Lagerstrom, Jr., was on
his way to the Falun postoffice, Mon
day of last week, he attempted to cross
Dry creek atJOhnDaleen's bridge. The
water. which was three or four feet
over the bridge, swept him and his
horse into the creek. He was cvrried
q distance down the stream, when he
succeeded In catching hold of q tree,
and got safely up on terra .irn,d, but
on the opposite side to home, where
he was obliged to stay until the raging
food subsidized.

A Fine Patch OF Wheat.

Mr.. Frank p. Ewing, Of Rich town.
ship, is the happy owner Of the best
fOrty-acre patch OF wheat i'm Anderson
county. We made a personal inspec-
ton of this much-talked-about wheat
field, on Tuesday of last week, and can
truthfully say that 1t is far ahead Of
any Of the many fields we have looked
upon, the past few days. II Is nearly
all headed out, and will be ready for
the harvester at least a week or ten
days ahead Of any other. Mr.. Ewing
confidently expects to thresh at least
go bushels of wheat from this forty
acre lot, estimating its average rs low
enough at . bushels to the acre, and
We agree with him that il now prom
ises all of that. Now, when it is taken
into consideration that this is drilled
in sod ground, the same never having
been turned for any purpose whatsO-
ever before, you can realize that this il
seldom or never accomplished i'm Kan
ras. Mr.. Ewing attributes the secret
Of his success to the manner in which
he put his wheat in, and an examina-
ton Of his field Of sod wheat will
amply verify the opinion advanced by
hint will carry conviction with it.
He uses the "Press" drill, which puts
the seed clear through the sod in rows
nine inches apart. The sod was turn
ed in June. and allowed to remain un-
til the second week in September,
when the seed was put in, eighty-four
pounds TO the acre. There was no re-
blowing, no narrowing, nor any other
manner of work put upon the land to
put 1t into shape for the seed, and il is
plain enough that the success of the
venture Is due to the peculiar drill
that was used. Mr.. Ewing entered in
to a solemn compact with The Plain
dealer representative to notify us as to
the final outcome, and our readers
may look ahead to that report, which
We will publish as soon as known.
This, it will seem, has opened up q
new avenue to wheat-raising in Kan
sas, and we trust our farmers will
look into and study 1t thoroughly
