The injury TO corn fodder on ac-
count of the frequent and heavy rains
this fall is a matter of serious import
ance to the farmers in this locality.
Corn fodder has become an important
item in the feed supply and this year it
Will be practically valueless; at the most
it will be worth not more than one-half
what it usually is. The grain, too, is
more or less injured, but may not be
materially injured if the weather is
favorable from this time on. The good
fall feed win partially make up for the
loss of corn fodder so the outlook is not
so bad after all.

This fear OF big slump IN the price of
all agricultural products is felt through
out the farming districts of the United
States With the farmer vote arrayed
solidiy against him Bryan wouldn't
know that he hz1 been running sIcept
from the echoes of'his great erstoriesl
noise. Tbs faraaer who spends day to
go to the elsctisR to vote for prosperity
and McKinlsy will be repaid an hundred
fold
-Repubfieaa meetings Throughout
the county are largely attended and the
greatest interest Is manifest. At nearly
all the places where speakers have paid

This augurs well for the success of the
whole ticket, and nothing except q large
sfaS-at- home vote will r,reyent an nm
