This gives US total of 8,237 bushels of
wheat from 876 acres of ground, making
an average yield of about % bushels per
acre. Oats thus far threshed have aver
aged 49 bushels. It is estimated that the
yield IN the interior part of the county will
far exceed the average given above.
Since the above was in type we have re-
ceived the following list from Kettleson d
Christianson, who are operating IN the
vicinity of Ingersoll:
Ras. Nelson, wheat 1910 bu., 40 acres;
oats 40 bu., 6 acres.
Bernt johnson, wheat 1911 bu., 50 acres;
oats 214 bu., s acres.
Andrew Peterson, wheat 1000 bu., 80
asres; oats 492 bu., acres.
The aggregate number of bushels of
wheat raised by the last three foot up
3,521 bushels from 1923 acres, giving an
average yield of 27]5 bushels. Eighteen
acres of oats on the same farms give 1,146
bushels, an average yield of 63 bushels.
The Washburn leader., 1891-09-26

lysy l46 time ago we took occasion to quote
Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, against
the assertion of the Dakota Ruralist that
the government lends money to the ma
tional banks, and made some editorial re-
marks on the subject, to which the Ru-
ralist last week replied that Sherman's
statement was false, and expressed the
belief that the editorial was penned by the
devil of the Capital instead of the editor.
The question of veracity is one between
Senator Sherman and Editor Loucks, and
the question of authorship of the editorial
is not a matter of public interest, 80 we
shall spend no time with either, further
than to cay that we are not willing to
admit that the great statesman senator of
Ohio did not know what he was talking
about or that he was purposely misleading
the people in the matter. The Ruralist
admj mjxtHhat the banks that are designated
as depbstories of the public moneys re-
ceived from internal revenue and sale of
public lands have to give security in United
States bonds, as Senator Sherman said, but
insists, and ridicules the idea that such
repositories are for the convenience of the
people and security of the government.
When the Ruralist editor deposits money
in the bank subject to check Tor calD,
as the government makes its deposits, does
he do so for his own convenience and
security, or does he do so as loan to the
bank without interest? If the latter, he
may be excused for the wild and weird
notion that the government does so for
like purpose-charitv for the banks in both
cases, only the government is not 80
charitable as the Ruraist editor because
itrequires security that it will get its money
when called for and he does not. If the
Ruralist will give the matter little thought
and consider the convenience of the people
Y obtaining money due them from these
Hffpositories instead of obtaining it in
Washington, and the security of the govern
ment in having public funds collected in
t fmote parts Of the country deposited in
ysfese banks that have givon the security

The Washburn leader., 1891-09-26

Ringgold, Ga, was visited by a won
derful phenomenon recently. Millions up
on millions of frefies issued from neigh
boring mountain ridges and took down the
course of the Chiokamauga River, which
skirts that city on its Southern border.
The pyrotechnic display was grand.
Trunks of trees skirting the river were
plainly visible quarter of mile distant,
and the entire mountain side was ilumin
ated. The horde of fireflies was fully forty
feet high and it took quarter of an hour
to pass down the stream, extending over
q mile along its course
