It IL said that sixty bushels Of
wheat have been grown to the acre,
whites he average yield OF the United
States is only fourteen bushels per
acre. If fourteen bushels 10 the aver
age yield, 1t is evident that half the
farmers fall below that amount per
acre. The highest yield we have
heard ofin this section this year Is 26
bushels, and the lowest Is bushels.
For the benefit of those Of our citi-
zens sending mail west, Postmaster
Newell desires us to state that as the
night train does not carry any mail
for Donnelly, that all mall for that
point should be in the post office by
noon or it will have to lay over here
one day. The reason for mailing by
noon Is that all mail matter for that
point has to be sent east as far as
Benson on the noon train and there
pouched for the west.
It strikes US that Judge Husevold's
suggestion In last weeks TRIBUNE
was q good one, viz: That one quar-
ter In each section of government
land be disposed of only under the
tree culture act. thus securing 10 acres
Of trees on 80 quarter sections in each
townshipof government land, and
had such law been in effect at the
time railroad grants were made, and
| q quarter section reserved for tree
culture in all land granted, 1t would
have been a wise provision.
In another column appears an
article which We copy from the Mid
dletown (Pa.) Press, sent to that paper
by Mr.. J.. D. Good of this village.
These articles OF Mr.. Goods are doing
q good work, by showing the advan-
tages possessed by our county, and if
others of our citizens would follow his
example and write up Stevens county
for newspapers published in their old
homes in the more eastern states, it
would tend to induce those who are
seeking new homes to come here and
settle in our beautiful county.
Mrs. Whitely has just received from
the East her End Invoice Of fall hats.
They surpass In beauty her first lot
that has sold so rapidly for the last
two weeks. 3SwS

Grove, ILL.,, has probably more yarie.
ties Of timber growing on his farm,
raised from seed planted by himself,
and now of size sufficient for saving
into lumber, than any person In
America. Four year ago he furnished
twenty varieties of timber for the
woodwork of o wagon which was
manufactured by Chicago firm, ali
Of the timber Having been grown
from planted seed. This reminds u.
that there is not half enough tree
planting done here in Stevens county,
locality where trees thrive as well
On in any other part Of the country
We have many beautiful planted
; groves in our county, but we ought
to have more. Groves not only ado
to the beauty of the country, but tre'
planting can be made profitable, as i
requires, but a few years comparative
! iy before they furnish wood which
. can be cut without injury to tin
, groves. Yes, everybody who own
land should plant trees.
