1Rttle Flowing Done.

From an extended inquiry among the
farmers It seems to be we'll subetgn-
tisted statement that tho grain acreage
in this county will be reduced consider
ably next year unless by fsvora5le
and early spring opportunity 10 offered
to do more thsn the usual amount OF
blowing. Little blowing 10 now beir 6
done with bat scant disposition to do
even that much. There has been only
the usual amount of summer fallowlng
done this season and bat a comparatively
small acreage is how ready for crop.
The time to DO seeding in the sprlng ,s
all too Short even with the bulk of the
land ready, cut when all, or nearly all,
thelsnd remains to be prepared for the
seed much less than the usual acreage
can be seeded. One farmer 10 iustanced
who, year ego, hs6 1000 acres ready
for,seeding operations when the freeze
upcame. Ihis year he will not have to
exceed 400 acres, at the outside, 1t ls
eaid. Many of the small farmers that
heretofore have been IN the habit Of
turning over ct least 80 or rs acres OF
ground have not plowed ten. Some are
burning of the stubble-it burns ex-
ceptionslly easy .aEd clean-wlth the
intention oc rsndeEing or discing the
ground and seedingin the sp:,ng with
out plowinG. This IN many oase has
been productive Of quite good reaalts
but it is not done except in case Of ne
cessity, beng looked upon, as it 10, ss 9
makeshift end Temporary exped,ent.
But the far0ers do not look at the ,situa-
ton with alarm. They have, by long
experience adapted themselves to
requirements and With their stock and
poultry, hogs and sheep find each year
that the balance is swinging around, a
little more, to the Eght side ct the
ledger.
