To the Farmer. Of saIIne count,l

To the Farmers OF saline County,
] feel like expressing my views on
the coming wheat crop Uf 1889. In
the first place the visible supply was
down to less than twenty-three
million bushels on August 4, lSss,
which is about eleven millions less
than the lowest point Of last year
and with an export Of ll0, $50, 900 from
September l, 1887, up to August 81,
1855, which will show there Is a de-
mand for our wheat abroad and a
deficiency in the northwest, Mime
sofa and Dakota, both in quality
and quantity on account Of blight,
chintz bug and wet weather after
ward. The frost on the 18th and
18th Of August shriveled thousands
Of acres that never cut sand a
shortage in the winter wheat shuts
off at least $4,000, 600 bushels, and
a shortage in France Of 44,OOO, 600 ;
Italy, 5000, 900 Hungary, 5000, 900;
and Germany short 100000 and all
Of the foreign country wheat damag-
ed by continued wet weather, taking
in the whole situation 1 believe we
will have much higher prices next
year. / think the low tide
has turned, will predict that No. ,,
soft wheat will sell, next July
and August, for not less than 9O.c.
and as high IS 81 Is and to back this
up / will contract from one thou
sand 10 half a million bushels at
T5:cts., for next July and August, and
put money up on it to bind the con-
tract. My advice Is to SOW good
seed free from rye and farmers in
the: bottom get upland seed wheat,
and upland farmers get bottom land
seed wheat. The reason for this is the
bottom seed will make longer straw
on the hills and the hill seed will
make shorter straw In the bottom, so
it will stand up good. Sow wheat
and you will reap dollars for every
bushel you raise.
