The rural carriers have asked us to
remind the farmers that now is the
time to- 10Y the weeds along the road
so that the coming winter the roads
will be free from snow. The pOstof-
fee department requires that the
weeds along rural routes be kept now
ed down at all times and no carrier
is required to serve patrons who do
not meet with this requirement. Good
roads are of greater benefit to the
farmer than to anyone else and We
hope that our rural readers will at
tend to this very important matter.
Fred Killing has one Of the finest
fields Of orn on his farm north Of
the city that has ever been raised in
this section and competent critics pre-

acre, and Illinois men who have seer
it declare that it is fully the equal
of the far famed corr Of that state.
This proves beyond a doubt that this
section is in the corn belt and just as
good crop Of corn can be raised
here as in any part of the west. Mr..
Killing is this week selecting his seed
for the coming year from the field
and expects to get a better yield from
this seed.
