Geo. Weber tells us that he knows
OF Il Union county gentleman who will
raise forty bushels OF corn per acre on
a GO-acre field, and the same pro-
prietor expects to raise a like yield of
oats from a similar sized field That's
pretty good for 1894, and we will wager
that the owner Thereof will not he found
in the ranks OF the calamity party
Dakota Republican.

Prof. E. E. Collins submits a sample
OF white dent corn which we deem
worthy OF a place in our museum OF
this years wonders in the cereal line.
1t hangs in IA westermost fruit win
dow and may be inspected al libitum
by the passer-by. He happens to have
about five acres just like it down the
river, and while u five-acre field ordi-
narily doesn't cut much of a figure in
this land OF big corn areas, it does this
year count for much for the fortunate
holder who has such a patch rs will
average Il show-up for every hill like
the specimen given us. 1t ought to be
good for ut least GO bushels per ucre,
and such a yield in such a year is u
little fortunc.-Dakota Republican.
"If I were u farmer" said a travelling
man the other day, II would raise no
o wheat ut present prices than l
really needed for my own uses. The
yield generally averages from ten to
twenty bushels, and the estimated
cost OF raising it per acre, including
everything, is about 50 or so, so you
see there is little Or nc profit in most
cases. ! have met Grandin and also
Drlrymp,e, two Of the largest and
shrewdest farmers, and they were OF
this opinion. The conditions now arc
singular. The railroad men say that
Iowa farmers are asking for rates to
ship cattle to North Dakota to feed
during the winter, their corn crop be-
ing short. ] believe that large guam
titles OF wheat, especially Of the lower
grades, will be used in feeding this
winter"
