Gle Billie Brown and wife.
George Robinson recently sold his claim in
the Strip and is again q resident of Barber,
On Friday we drove to Hazelton. We saw
splendid looking wheat on our way field
belonging to Calvin Smart looks well also
one belonging to Jerry Mussen. but on the
whole. wheat does not look quite so well as Il
did few weeks ago. Some fields are rather
thin and early varieties are beginning to head
out before it has attained the height that very
good wheat usually does before heading. I
did not notice much wheat toward Hazelton
that the winds have injured. In Sharon valley
some wheat has been blown out by the wind
and sand storms.
In this valley garden vegetables have been
injured in some places by the high winds and
dust
In many orchards considerable fruit has
blown from the trees.
There was very good rain on Monday night
OF last week but the wind and sun together
have evaporated the moisture very rapidly
and another rain would come in good play
and would make plow1n q easier.
Albert Soh was doing business In Sharon on
Saturday.
Black locusts are in bloom and tho honey
bees are busy on them whenever the wind is
not too annoying. We usually divide our bees
in time to avoid risk of them swarmiDg In our

stand swarmed and unobserved made their
escape into the orchard where luckily my wife
saw them the next day clustered on an apple
tree branch.

ed, arrested or developed IN proportion
as mankind have obtained or have been
denied free access to the soil. He
pointed out to the history Of ancient
Greece and Rome, and the MEDIEVAL
history OF France, az tending to prove
that land monopoly by a privileged
class invariably tends toward q condi-
ton of sertdom for the common people.
That we in this country are approach.
ing that condition, as shown by the
rapid concentration of wealth in the
hands of the few, and the consequent
impoverishment of the labOring class,
Is becoming apparent to many. The
remedy proposed by the lecturer, is the
graduated income tax, and the single
land tax. AS to whether the condi-
tions as depicted exist. or whether the
remedy pointed out is tho proper one
or not, yet all who heard him will &C.
