If the forecast is realized this will be
the largest total production of cereals
ever recorded in the United States. 1t
will exceed by more than 425, 900, 600
bushels the aggregate of the tremen-
douS crops of corn, wheat and oats n
1900. And in value on the farm, if the
estimate of g, 0000, 600, 900 is approx
mately correct, it will exceed by at
least half a billion dollars the best
grain harvest gathered in any previous
wear by American farmers. And the
American farmers do not fail to appre-
ciate the fact that every one of these
two billions dollars will be worth 100
cents. Organism would mean that the
two billion dollar harvest would be
worth less than one billion dollars
There is law in New York State
which should compel all farmers to NOW

but it is not obeyed. Farmers
everywhere will spend several days
after harvesting moving out the
fence corners and roadsides, claim
ing they could not get any time be-
fore. AS far as subjugating weeds is
concerned this is useless work One
weed cut while in blossom will accomp-
lish more than weeks work after seeds
are ripe, for cutting them scatters the

to hire help in June to do nothing but
cut weeds outside of the cultivated field
than to do it ones self any time later
This is a paragraph from communi-
cation in the Tribune Farmer of Aug.
14th that should be generally read. The
writer says that despite the present i'm
proved methods of cultivation there are
more weeds than in earlier days, and
that that they are increasing rapidly.
Of course law that is not obeyed is Of
no value, and the only remedy seems to
be to incite individuals to make unceas-
ing war upon weeds, and which self in
terest should prompt them to do.

is the first time that Mr.. Cleveland has

since his retirement from Office. This
coupled with the fact that so many dis
tineuished Democrats, whose views ON sill

cally opposed to each other. ara to be
present, is pointed to as evidence that the
occasion of the opening of the club means
