hand might be transmitted to several
generations.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Why Is it that the farmers of Sedg-
wick county continue TO raise simply
wheat and corn, when the markets of
the world are so glutted with those ar
tlcles that they get no living prices?
They could make more money OFF of
five or ten acres of land cultivated in
vegetables and small fruits than off of a
quarter section in wheat and corn. The
largest and finest Strawberries that are
ever sold in our market are raised right
here IN our own county, and yet mos of
the berries sold in our market are ship
ped in from abroad From two to five
hundred bushels of onions can be raised
on one acre of ground here, and yet our
market is largely supplied from abroad,
though they sell at from one TO two dol
lars per bushel. Cabbage and celery

in our market come from abroad.
