CHANGE OF SEED.

In proof of the suggestion that
wheat growers should change their
seed wheat we refer TO VIM. DYE.
who resides a short distance north of
town. Mr.. Dye sowed some of the
same old Kansas seed last year. the
crop proving almost failure AT
tie same time and upon adjoining
ground he planted some fresh seed
from an eastern state. This produced
a good crop. We still insist that
farmers should pot abandon wheat.
but that they should ut in small
acreage and that the seed should be
changed.-El Dorado Republican,

Tom Fenlon told the people of Kan
sas. last fall, that if Cleveland was
elected. Kansas would produce larger
and better crops OF wheat. ana OF
every other grain and fruit. lmmed-
lately after the election. the wheat
was nearly all winter-killed; the out
come of the corn crop is very doubt
full: and the fruit crop is small and in-
ferior. Times are harder than they
have been known for years, and labor
strikes are constantly going on. In
the next four years people will have
cause to curse the .'chsnge" they clam
o-ej for.-kansss Chief.

Cleveland took the ground that nc
man who was prominent in a political
organization or in the manipulation
of party machinery should mold office
and upon that ground and for that
cause only would be remove or refuse
