A Driy. I'm the Country

Hearing so many and contrary
remarks rs to the condition Of the
wheat crop, we took an inspecting
tour last Sunday In the vicinity Of
Cambria, with a gentlemen largely
interested In Kansas farming now,
and for the past eighteen years.
While we do not want tH discourage
any one, yet we believe Il IL due our
readers t. give them the facts.
There always Is big hurrah through
the papers at this season Of the year,
a. to the promised yield Of wheat
aud IL IL safe to say, II always
largely exceeds the facts. Even
Secretary Mohler 10 himself deceived
as TO the present prospect, or IL try
ing to deceive others. To say that
we will have several million bushels
Of wheat this year Is wrong, and II
has q tendency to keep the price
down on last years crop, plenty Of
which IL still In the granaTies. We
drove through fields that n few
weeks ago gave promise Of 20 or 10
bushels II wheat to the acre, but
now their owners say they msy not
even cut them. Some fields are en-
tireIy Destroyed now, while Others
give promise Of 10 to Is bushels 90
the acre, at least enough to pay for
cutting. None OF IL looks as u
should. The straw IL still green,
while the heads are turning white,
| lust the reverse to what 10 should
be. As to the cause, an examination
Of quite o variety Of stalks, shows 4
small worm near the roots, and
sometimes In the joints also, sup
posed to be the Hessian fly, and on
all Of these stalks the head IL turning
white, and IL will either not pay 10
harvest, or IL 70 II cut and thrashed
the yield will be light, and the grain
Q rejected grade. Reports from
Gypsum Creek are more eueourag-
ing, but 10 10 our impression that
wheat that 10 now affected by the
hy, will continue 10 get worse, In
stead OF better, and that many will
be disappointed when they come 70
cut and thrash their crop. Oats
never looked better. and promises q
great yield, and the same with rye,
while corn IL making fine growth
and should have the farmers special
attention for the next thirty days
Fruit OF every kind IL plenty, and
every cellar will be supplied with {
variety Of Il this winter that will be
appreciated. Atpressnt there seems
10 be no remedy 10 suggest - to ths
plan Of action 10 be pursued this fall
by the wheat raiseFs, unless 10 n
good farming and late sowing, buI
later on We will endeayor to suggest
some remedy. The gentleman We
were with remarked that It Wal
simply sn OF year on wheat, but
that he should 90 right ahead and
put out his crop this fall. and per
haps the fy would leave Of lie owl
free will, same - the ehlnch bul
did few years ego. II Is the Kan.
sas grit that wins, and We hope d
zee Q reasonable acreage In vhea
this fall, even n there should be q
Psrtial failure this year.

On Sunday afternoon, June l4th,
1891, at 2:I5 o'clock, this noble spir-
Il left us. For over twenty years
Mr.. Watson has resided Ia Salins,
during. which time he has gained a
reputation for honesty and fairness
TO all men, that few attain. Always
pleasant hearty welcome met him
on every hand, and his calls were
bright spots Of the days doings.
The JOURNAL particularly is .
mourner. as Mr. Sampson was one
Of his warmest friends, and sad
task we feel Il, to be called upon as
one Of our first duties to chronicle
his death. Long will the pleasant
memories Of his acquaintance sur
vive him, and his unselfish and
genial life will leave the world let
ter for bis having lived In IL, and
be an example worthy Of emulation
by all who had the pleasure Of his
acquaintance. He leaves q wife,
two grown daughters. Q son twelve
years old, q brother, Rev. DIR. George
Watson, OF Swedesboro, n. J., and
one sister Eliza s. Watson, Of New
York City, besides 4 large circle OF
friends to mourn his death. He was
born In York, England, June 5th,
1885, and died At the age Of SO years
aud 10 days. His silment was Sep
tic Poison, the result Of several car
buncles on the back Of his neck,
which made their appearance some
five weeks ago. With his father he
came to America when quite small,
and located In Pennsylvania. He
was educated at OBego Academy,
after which the family moved to
Norwalk, Ohio, where his father
died. There were four In his fathers
family, two Of whom survive him,
and were present at the funeral
Rev. DIR. Geo. Watson, and Eliza 3.
Watson, who for many years his
been q teacher In Mrs. Sylvanus
Reade's School, In New York City.
He was married In 1855, to Miss
Charlotte A. StOutenburgh, Of Nor
walk, Ohio, and shout two years
later moved to Salina, where they
have since resided. He was reason
ably successful in the general mer-
chandise business here, and at the
time Of his death was engaged In the
exclusive china aud glassware busi-
ness. He was n member Of Christ
church, and for nearly twenty years
has served that church rs warden.
His funeral services were held on
Tuesday morning, the Rev. +. p.
Chittenden conducting them, the
vestry acting a. pall-bearers, q
large number Of friends heing pres
ent, after which his remains were
deposited In Gypsum Hill Cemetery.
Thus ends a quiet, useful and honest
life, and happier the world would be
ifthere were more men with the char
acteristics our dead friend displayed
during life.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the vestry Of his church,
which we gladly give space for pu6 :

We are all saddened by the death
Of our beloved Senior Warden, for
