FOR OUR FARMER READERS.
c. v. Gregory's Articles Making
Money on the Farm"

During the latter part of the past
winter we printed series of articles
entitled Home Course in Modern Ag-
ricu ture" prepared by Prof. c. v.
Gregory of the Agricultural Division of
the Iowa State College at Ames.
This series met with SO much favor
able comment from our large number
farmer readers that when the announce
ment of a new series by Prof. Gregory
was made we made haste to secure the
exclusive right for its publication in
the county, and the first installment
appears on the third page of this issue.
The former series dealt with the
modern methods of farming. The
series now to be published covers the
important question of making money
out of farming. 1t is in no sense a
technical or theoretical discussion of the
topics, but is practical series of ar
ticles which will undoubtedly be of
value to its readers, and will prove of
profit to even the most thorough farm
er. We are aware that the publica-
tion of this series comes during the
busy summer season, but it will pay to
file away the PLAIN DEALERS contain
ing these articles until such time as
they may be used and digested.
The series comprises 18 articles on
the following subjects:
1. .'Drainage"- Thousands of acres
can be saved to the farmers who study
this subject.
2. Maintaining Fertility The
most important economic question on
any farm. :
3. "Corn Culture" -All the informa-
tion regarding the modern methods OF
raising corn.
A. "Oat Growing Improved meth
DDS for growing this important crop.
5. Wheat Raising" "A knowledge
of this subject is a valuable asset.
6. Seed Corn Breeding Great
profit can be made by specializing in
this line.
T. "small Grain Breeding "A new
source of profit to farmers.
8. "Potato Culture" Some hints
on how to raise satisfactory crop ev-
cry year.
9. Glover and 14lfalfa Growing
Hints on developing these profitable
crops.

An Open Letter.

| d. A. Mcmillan, champion mixed
wrestler of America"
Dear Old Mac: have read your two
column spell in the Decorah Journal,
and must say it is in keeping with your
record as wrestler-lots of bluster,
but nothing to it. You assume to
speak for. Jahns, the Spring Valley
wrestler, but what authority have you
for so doing? A few weeks ago the
Journal stated if i wanted a match
with Jahns to write the Sun, Spring
Valley. MINI. did SO and received
no reply. This is conclusive proof to
me that neither you or the Journal
have authority to speak for him and
are simply taking. If Jahns wants a
match with me, let him or his duly
authorized representative come to Cres-
co, bringing check book with him,
and we will talk business.
Very truly,
M. PEGGY.
P. S.-Dear Mac: Does the follow
ing look familiar to you. 1t is the
letter received while you were doing
Riceville. M. P.

arrived at the conclusion that the

come across the path or the comet

take place, and, Bella being infinitely
greater than the earth, shock may
be expected which, lie calculates, will
be $50 times greater than the shock
caused by the collision between two
