AMONG FARMERS.

Frosts have killed garden truck in
Minnesota. F rosts have prevailed in this
state but have not yet done much dam
age.
The tobacco growers of this state are
iubilant. The yield is nnu-unlIy good
and at present prices will net the growers
from 800 to Sl75 an acre.
The potato crop Is decidedly short this
year, and particularly so in Europe
| There Is every prospect that potatoes
will bring good prices throughout the
year.
Canada, as we'll as the United States,
has fine wheat crop this year. The
crop In Manitoba is particularly good,
Welding from 50 to 40 bushels per acre.
Bnt the entire Canadian yield is not
equal to that of Kansas and Nebraska.

The weather report says that rain is
needed for pastures, potatoes and fall

than was expected Corn Is not doing

ditions potatoes will turn ont poorly

4 9, 10000 bushels. One boat took 1876
a 900 bushels, the heaviest cargo of gran

THE shortage of the wheat crop il

also, which do not produce enough fo
their own needs. The price of bread i

The drop III the price of wheat need
cause no alarm. The upper movement
WAS in response to legitimate demands
ard though speculative rush ,aused an
ranted, and a subsequent drop, the ten
dency is upward, or else all reports from
Europe are nnfounded. An advance of 5
cents in the price of wheat in "A hours Is
unnatural and cannot be sustained.
When normal conditions prevail there is
sure to be a decline from advances due to
speculation. The decline is often re-
action which goes too far.

THE good times ushered In by the ad-
vance in the price OF farm produce are
holding ont and show no signs of being
temporary. Indeed it was evident from
the start that the advance had too sub
ope to be ephemeral. There is one thing
the farmer must learn and that is that
improved methods have cheapened the
cost of production and naver again will
old prices be permanently maintained.
We have entered the era of cheap produc-

The shooting fool is out--the shooting
criminal he should be called. Two such
cases, both resulting fatally, occurred in
this state on Sunday, one at Phillips and
one at Brodhead. There is no occasion
for these murders, for that they are, as
they are the result of criminal careless
ness. The man who is careless in the
banding of gun shows disregard of
human life which makes him murderer
If fatality should result by reason of his
carelessness.

WHEN the Dakota farmers abandon
ed the work of congregating at depots
and grocery stores, to whittle, chew
tobacco and talk politics. they found
the road to prosperity. Industry has
lifted the mortgage which they were
told nothing but free silver could
hoist. If they will take the lesson to
heart, they will rely in future upon
industry and avoid the cheap substi
tutes offered by political quacks.

witness it and not the players who are

the chief feature of the game. Interest
IN national league games is dying ont,
chiefly for this reason, and as the same
cause is operating down the line, base
ball is doomed.
