Have to Be Burned.
NORTH LOUP. Neb., April 9.-(Special.)-
Notwithstanding the heavy rains of the past
ten days the moisture has soaked down into
the subsoil so rapidly that farmers are again
engaged in field work and find the soil in
excellent condition. A great deal of wheat
Is being sown in this vicinity this year,
which action was directly occasioned by
the recently higher prices Of that cereal, since
many had concluded, previously to the rise,
not to farm any land to wheat. Owing to
the extra heavy growth Of the corn last
year, considerable difficulty has been expe-
renced this spring in getting the stalks out
of the way, ,<and it has been found necessary
in most cases to cut and rake them, after
ward clearing the ground by burning. This
item is causing the farmers a good deal of
extra labor, it being usually possible to ig-
moro the stalks entirely, and allow them to
decay on the ground.
