Lecturer Cummins, of the county
alliance, was in Monday and declared
that no county ever had such wheat
prospects as Barber now has. lie says
that wheat is heading out down the
river. Mr.. Cummins has been in the
habit. during the past seven years, of
coming in along in April or May and
reporting n severe hail storm in the
vicinity of his home, Canema; but he
says the trip will probably be unneces.
sary this year. Last year the hail only
destroyed his field of wheat, whereas it
used to take in all of the Little Mule
creek country, and he supposes that this
year he may enjoy passover. Then,
the Free MethOdists held meeting down
there nearly all winter and made things
so Lot that ice has not formed since.
Then / here was no alliance organization
against combines and trusts last year.
We agree with Mr.. Cummins in believ
ing that hail will not beat on his house
this season.
