The past few weeks furnishes a
good lesson to farmers in the matter
of wheat sowing and preparation of
the ground. Most farmers in this
section of the country are up-to- date
farmers, but now and then you will
see one who still clings to the old
fogie ideas and argues that dry plow-
ing and especially dry sowing is no
good. We say that this season
ought to furnish this class a good
lesson. The farmer who did not
stop blowing on account of dry
weather, and who, when it came
time to seed his ground, did not wait
