The Farmers Have a Good Supply

cept Wheat.
Special Letter to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN. Mimi, NoY. 19.--Well,
a day. And are you all Oh your feet
again after such all upheaval as we had
on the 9th inst? And isn't the GLOBE
grand i'll defeat? Catch it whining over
the decision of the people of these
United States Of America, will you?
Not il, 1t will fight while the fray is
raging. and gracefully submit to the in
eyitable when the people have decided.
Give it three cheers and tiger, boys"
for it deserves it. Laugh, you and /,
while we can, but the inevitable comes
back to US that crops arc short Oh the
bread-stutf question, if not on any
other farm product, and no Do-
litical party can make it longer or
larger, only now and then some one
wheat speculator may be ''long on
wheat but we must purchase our
bread stuff in the market, and this TO
the farmer is hard nut to crack when
he has been raising wheat for the many
years past. But we are glad to hear
that just where good yield was needed
to help the struggling farmers out of
debt, they have good crop and are get
ting good prices for what they have to
dispose of. and many of them will be
out OF debt entirely now. Surely we
that have no debts to pay Should not
complain at our losses, which are small,
but rather rejoice with those that are
blessed with abundance wherewith to
stand up as men free from all obliga-
ton in money matters, owing to good
and abundant crops and good
PRICES FOR THEIR WHEAT.
Our country is so much the richer for
it, and shall we groan over the increase
in price of -four? 1t was to be expected
when we saw the chintZ bug i'll our
grain and found no help for it, SO we
had to submit to the destruction with as
good nature as possible. Taken as q
whole. the farmers of this state. and
Dakota, too. are pretty weIl-to-do. de-
spite any loss We may have sustained
the past two years by the bugs and
drought of last season and Oyersupp)y
of rain water this season. We have
enough, and to spare of all we raise,
but no wheat for our bread, which
comes hard on most all of our farmers.
However. the teamwork is we'll on to
the last of the blowing and the finish
ing touches which every farmer finds
must be done. / could not say how
many have sowed rye, or if it
was rye and winter wheat mixed,
bat this last mixture was sown
as an experiment Oh the farm, the seed
being obtained of an old neighbor in
Wisconsin as an experiment here-there
it has been very successful with the
German population, and wehope it may
prove so in this section; never have
used the -four thus obtained, can only
say as to what we have seen used. The
bread was white rs snow and wonder
fully sweet and good; have seen it
used many ways, and. in fact for all
kinds of common farmers fare, but I've
been told 1t was never tested in fine
pastry; in all other ways it has proved
highly satisfactory. and We all know
that bread made from this mixture is
good. Somehow, or in some way, the
farmers feel that they must raise their
breadstuff. and if it can be done with
this mixture Of rye and winter wheat,
then all will be very serene and the
farmers happy.
This, admiXture may not be Salable
in the market, and | do not think it was
ever designed for that purpose, but that
the bread is good and healthy, and
quite white when properly made, and
might be more popular than it is, il
brought to the attention OF the masses
Of people-more so than corn bread, at
leaSt-i am quite sure.
