In view of the excess of rainfall in the
corn and wheat sections during the win
ter, as stated i'll the report of the govern
ment weather bureau published yester-
day, if it be true as is held by some that
there is given amount of moisture ex-
pended during the year. it stands the
farmers in hand to get their cereal crops
planted as early as possible SO that they
may be advanced as far as possible be-
fore the dry weather of summer comes
on. Early planting is best as rule in
any event, so that farmers run less risk
by acting upon it every season, whether
it is dry or not. The severe and long
continued freezes of the winter leave the
ground in excellent condition for plant
ing SO that the early work will be COM
paratively light. and we are sure the
farming community needs no word of
admonition to prompt them to an early
and vigorous campaign.

The issues between the railroads CEN
tering in Chicago and the striking en-
ployes, growing out of the c., B. & Q.
ruction, seems now to be squarely
drawn, In their ultimatum to the
strikers that if they did not return to
their posts at a given hour their places
would be permanently filled settles the
question of handling the boycotted Q
faeight. On this point the roads have
all practically united. We have no heart
to pursue the subject at this writing, in
view of che possibilities of trouble Just
ahead of us. We hope more concila-
tory spirit may get hold of all Immediate
ly concerned and that the pending con-
fiict and threatened disaster to the entire
business interest of the country may be
ayerted. Our Geographic columns will
give the reader an idea of the situation
up to midnight last night aud from this
conclusions as to the future may be

Don't Catch what You Don't Want.

On The Wing.
Yes, my son, it is true that molasses
catches more flies than doth vinegar.
But it is also true that, as rule, you
don't want to catch flies; you want to
drive them away. Argyll, don't smear
yourself with molasses when you are
liable to be exposed to flies. There is
only one kind of flies you want to catch
and molasse5 isn't sweet enough nor
sticky enough for that. Time flies, my
son, time flies.

It is as reasonable to expect figs from
thistles as to look for good results when
poor seeds are planted. If you plant an
acorn you cannot gather apricots, and
if you SOW poor and oil seeds you can
not have large and solid cabbage heads,
nor round and regular tomatoes, nor
perfect and juicy canteloupes The
