EDITOR CHRONICLE: Thinking a
few notes from this section may be
of interest to some of your readers,
/ send you a few lines concerning
local matters. / never saw a great
er improvement in wheat prospects
than has taken place in this vicin-
ity in the past three weeks. Fields
that month ago looked as though
they would not make seed, now
promise fair yield, notwithstand-
ing the fact that all wheat is affect
ed more or less with rust. There
have been copious and frequent
rains during the past week, but the
weather has kept very warm, and l
think that in most fields the rust is
confined to the blade, and has not
affected the stalk.
The frequent rains have greatly
facilitated tobacco plants, and al
though there has been some search
ty of plants, fair crop has been
planted in this section, and many of
our planters are done. A great deal
of the crop has been planted in the
last ten days, which is in my Judge
ment the very best time for plant
ing to secure heavy fine tobacco,
and should the coming season be
favorable, / predict a very fine crop
of ''the weed" for this locality.
Corn is smaller than remember
to have seen it this time of the year,
but it has been we'll cultivated gen.
orally, aud is growing well. The
planting of this crop was nearly a
month later this season than is usu-
al, the weather being such that the
planting could not be done at the
usual time. This makes the pros
pect for the crop doubtful /; for while
late corn Is better than early when
the season suits, it always suffers
much more from drouth and may
be cut very short by it.
Many of our farmers are planting
Largely of Irish potatoes, and it is
predicted now that they will not be
worth hauling to market when fall
comes but so staple food product
can hardly go begging, however
abundant. Pastures are very fine
now, and cattle traders are much
more abundant than the cattle and
sheep. Our farmers are turning
much of their attention to raising
improved grades of stock, however
and shall esteem the day great
blessing which supplants tobacco
culture to large extent by stock
raising.
A remarkable circumstance is the
disparity between rental and sale
values in real estate. The NARROW
Town farm was sold at public sale
on Saturday last for thel low sum $l4
per acre; while lands around read
lily rent for from 81 90 to IS 90 per
acre. Can some one more versed in
farming matters give a reason for
this? IDLEWILD.

The Next County Fair.

The list of premiums to be awarded
at the Sixth Annual Fair Of the Al
pena County Agricultural Society, ap'
pcars in this issue of the ARGUS, and
we advise the farmers of this county
to give it a careful attention. Alpeno
county has come to be of no little i'm
portance as an agricultural communi-
ty, and the lands in this section, which
were only few years ago considered
by many as next to worthless, have
been proven by practical demonstra-
ton to be the best farming lands in
the State. The county is becoming
more thickly settled every year, and
promises, at no very distant day, to
rank among the foremost in Michi-
gan for agricultural purposes, and
we are pleased to note the onward
progress.
1t is a well known fact that in a
not many years to come, the lumber
interests in this vicinity will begin to
wane, and the great industry of agri-
culture will take the place of lumber
manufacturing, and we feel confident
that the reputation already worthily
attained by the farming community
will be increased ten fold.
But it will not do to sit idle. If
our farmers wish to retain their justly
deserved reputation, and show that
they are capable of outstripping every
other locality in Michigan in raising
farm produce, they must be up and
doing. And the most substantial way
of proving to the people what can be
accomplished on our farming lands, is
to make a capital showing at the COM
ing fair. Let every farmer in the
county make up his mind now that
he will do all in his power to make
the fair next October the most success
full exhibition yet held, and no man
will in after years regret the little
plains he has taken in demonstrating
the value of lands in Alpena county
for agricultural purposes.
With w. Ii. Potter as President,
N. NJ. Brackinreed as Secretary, and
Jos. Cavanagh as Treasurer of the
Agricultural Society, we may safely
predict that every effort tending to-
ward success will be made, and we
feel assured that our farmers will
most heartily respond to the exigen-
cies of the enterprise, and make the
sixth annual fair rousing one.

A Naval Cadetship Open.
Editors Ban CTty Tribune

Editors Bay CITY Tribune.
GENTLEMEN: A communication
from the navy department informs me
that Will ID. Cole, my nominee for
the naval cadetship, has declined the
appointment. The matter is there
fore thrown open again for competition
by the boys residing in the Tenth con-
gressional district, between the ages
of IA and Is.
beg leave, through the newspa-
pers, to give notice that applications
will be received by me up to the LIST
day of August next After that date,
arrangements will be made for COM
petitive examination by a board of
examiners and the person chosen by
such board shall be recommended to
the department. The nominee will be
required to report at Annapolis Sep
tember 1st.
At the former examination held in
April to decide between the applicants
for the cadetship, there were only
three contestants. One was rejected
for physical disability and the nomi-
nation was awarded by the committee
conducting the examination to Mr.
Cole, who has now declined.
1t is matter of some surprise that
in all this broad congressional district
there were only three boys who sought
the appointment. To be naval cadet
is to hold one of the finest positions
in the gift of the government. The
pay is ample, the education which the
boy receives is thorough and valuable,
he is afforded opportunities for ex.
tensive travel, he is thrown into polite
society, in short, the surroundings are
such as to develop in the boy the
character of an honorable and cult
waited gentleman. Beyond all thi;
occasion may be presented for patri
otto service to the government and Of
gaining distinction. True, the dis
cipline is severe and the service exact
ing. 1t is no place for an idler or 6
weakling. But only so much is re
quired as q bright, honest and brave
boy can very well get along with.
| hope that at the next examination
more than three applicants will ap
pear. Surely somewhere among the
tens of thousands of inhabitants Of
this congressional district is boy
who has the brain and the nerve, tc
seize such an opportunity.
Yours truly,
III. III. HATCH
P.S. Will the other newspapers
of the district please copy.
