No stronger or better evidence can

the two homesteads, and built house,

land, which has been sowed to oats

of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, it is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having yield in average
years of from 20 to Is bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from % to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch Of

fall. We have 20 head Of pure bred

worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and little over. Pork brings and

and last winter they picked their en-

to the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four

eranne Rans centraI Bank.

The National Grange, now in ses-
sion at Des Moines. Ia, representing
a million farmers, went on record as
being opposed to the Aldrich central
bank scheme. The western represen-
tatives at the grange meeting were
particularly vigorous in their denun-
citation of Aldrich and his plan.
In his annual address at the open
ing of the forty-third session of the
National Grange, National Master
Bachelor denounced the Aldrich prop
osition.
"The question of amending our ma
tional banking laws so as to provide
a currency system that win prove
more elastic in times of financial strin-
gency. will come up in congress in the
near future said he. Among other
plans suggested as remedies for the
present admittedly unsatisfactory con-
ditions. Is that Of the creation Of a
great central bank. which will be urg-
ed by the financial and speculative in
terests located IN New York city and
known commonly as wall street
80 far as this plan has been out
lined by its advocates. its inevitable
tendency would be to create a gigantic
banking monopoly and to place the
thousands Of small country banks at
the mercy of the great financial inter
ests. AS the grange has always de-
nounced monopolies in any form. It is
advisable that appropriate action be
taken to express our opposition to any
changes in our currency or banking
laws that would give one bank or com.
bjnation Of banks advantage over all
the others of the country"
These recommendations we're en-
bodied in a resolution, which was
unanimously adopted.
