~JAWGD ITEMS,

George hasn't given us anything re-
for three weeks.
George says our reply to his last week 8
article will probably bc Il scurrilous at
tack on the Big and Little Douglases ct
al. "A guilty conscience needeth no ac-
cuser."
George. last week, gives the people of
Wlnona in general, and the fire water
men in particular, a turning over. Moth
ing is said of Harry's Yates beer-shop,
however.
Judging from the hop-and- go-fetch- it
style OF constructing the sentences in last
weeks antiRECORn article, the jim jam
correspondent must be doing the "edito-
riap' work.
Douglas Minor says he is the friend of
the Emmons County taxpayers. So is
Douglas Major, as his desire to give them
two county governments instead of one
has proven.
If Mr.. George Douglas asserts that the
RECORD has received ii cent from Emmons
|, County, for printing, to which it WAS not
entitled, Mr.. George Douglas asserts
what he knows to be false.
"Jawg" says the RECORD has SO more
subscribers than the organ which he
grinds in the interest of Brother Harry.
Put a in front of the so, young man,
and you'll be somewhat nearer the truth
Editor Douglas says that, if the RECORD
will 'itemize its bills" etc, he will show
great things u year hence. We have
itemiZed every bill we have presented to the
county. Mr.. Douglas can see these bills
at the county office.
! Georges brothers paper hasn't fifty
| subscribers in this county, outside Of ITS
place of publication. Does George deny
this? Ii SO, we can proye it to him by d
reliable citizen in the neighborhood OF
each postotfice in the county.
George brings the power Of his ponder
Gus 'intellcck' to bear against the Com
missioners. But evidently, if crooked"
the Board acted foolishly in not keeping
their official acts from the public by

In the past, although the RECORD ha.

There is a screw loose somewhere in
the postoficc machinery. We have had
considerable complaint recently from
subscribers at distant points that they do
not receive the RECORD regularly. The
latest is from a gentleman at Fairfield.
Iowa. Every paper leaves this office each
week. There is absolutel y no chance for
mistake, as the copies for all outside
towns are counted after the addresses arc
written, and are made to correspond
with the names in the subscription book
The mistakes are most likely caused by
careless postmastcrs at points whence the
complaints come giving the papers to the
wrong parties. We see no other reason
for such failures to receive the paper

Testimony Regarding Smut.


Thomas Richards, one Of, our leading
farmers, raised wheat in 1884 50 smutty

it. The same wheat, sowef'in 1885, after
being prepared with blue vitriol, pro-

.--.sOn-,>. an adjoining .farnarsin 1854, the
wheat graded No. 1 hard but sown
without vitrioling, produced wheat which
went "rejected."
On another farm the entire crop graded
No. 1 hard in 1884. In 1885 the same
wheat carefully cleaned, was sown and
smutted considerably while the clean
ings, retained and vitrio]ed, produced an
excellent grade of wheat
l.. l.. kawson, chairman of supervisors
of Logan township, gives most of the
above and some other facts in his expe-
rience as a thrasher. Wheat that was
"rejccted'' in 1884 on account of smut,
being prepared with vitriol and sown in
1885, produced No. hard while wheat

j. p. Beal, of Glencoe, says that he has
followed vitrioling for years, and always
has No. 1 hard wheat; also, that he
sowed about four acres III 1885 without
v!triol, in the same field with the other
wheat, and at harvest time could tell the
line of the four acres by the smut
We don't profess to be able to give the
reason for this; but these are the facts,
and the wise will heed The expense is
small and the facts will warrant it. In
time investigation will establish theory
for those who care to know "why."
