Weather has been fine for crops during
The past week. Harvest has Just now
commenced. The prospect for beauti-
ldl harvest was never better, Farmers
lsem to realize, however, that there re-
mains critical period through which
they must pass even when the harvest
Ing is done, and that is tho period or
lime for stacking. 1t is the intention of
many to stack their grain at once this
season. and not a few farmers talk Of
getting stack covers. This is a critical
pear. There has not been a time in the
history of this country when SO much de-
pended upon tho securing Of our crop.
Il will either lift the burdens from those
wrestling Will, debt, or it will crush them,
in many instances, and compel them to
abandon their work here. Our relations
with the people Of the States financially.
places us under serious obligations to take
no risks. This valley owes the States
hundreds of thousands of dollars. and
financiers are now lesitating, feeling the
pulse of this great community, awaiting
the change that will show signs of new
life. No farmer will do his duty, who
this season takes any risks, and no public
journalist will do his duty who does not
urge his readers to spare no effort to Sc.
cure this ripening crop.
