does the Japanese government yet offer
pecuniary reward adequate to the service
rendered, whether that be high or low.

Was there ever time in the history
of this state when things looked more
bright and cheerful to the farmer than
they do at present. That is, as far as
the appearance of crops 60. We think
not. We have lived here nearly twenty
two years, and in all that time We have
never seen anything equal to the ap-
pearance of the country this year.
Grains of all kinds are growing as fast as
possible With perfect growing condi.
tons. Warm weather and an abundance
OF rains hsve caused the grain to grow
and stool in a manner that is almost
beyond the comprehension of one who
has not taken drive thru the country
and noticed the condition of the crops.
Without some unforeseen calamity over
takes the crop now and With anything
like fair prices, this country will be the
mecca of industry this fall, and our
grain fields will be sight to behold
