counties the necessity of devoting more
of their land to the growth of wheat
It is true that wheat is not ALWAYS a
sure crop, but it is equally as reliable
as cotton. 1t can be raised at much
less cost than cotton. it comes in at a
time when there is no other crop to
market, and there is always a market
for it at some price. A portion of our
lands is well adapted to wheat grow
ing-much better adapted to wheat
than cotton growing. Then why not
try wheat for few seasons? Why
not give it trial that will demon
strate whether or not it is profitable
crop?
There is one thing certain; our PEG.
pie must get out of the one crop idea.
They have been following this idea
ever since the close of the civil war,
and their profits have been steadily
growing smaller. If they ever expect
to get out of the suds they must try
some course different from that which
they have been following.

The papers are now full of scare
head accounts of horrible butcheries
and wars and massacres with the In
dams. 1t appears that a civilized band
of Indians had settled upon lands in
Minnesota, built their little farms and
homes, and felt secure in this life. But
all at once the grasping corporations
and syndicates saw profit in taking
their homes away from them, and the
order to move on" was passed along
the Indian borders. Naturally, poor
Lo got mad at such inhuman treat
ment as he supposed he was about to
be subjected to. His degree of civil
cation has not yet reached the point
where he will tamely submit to "stand
and deliver" whenever called upon to
do SO by tie crafty money-getters. 1t
became necessary, therefore. to create
some more military heroes, by shoot.
ing into subsection those unruly red
