Sheriff j. S. Johnson returned last
night from Gillian, Sewer county,
bringing with him as a prisoner, j.

three 90 together successfully In
America we are accustomed to think
that I'm order to raise wheat success
fully one must plant hundreds of acres
and devote his entire time to this crop.
The statement that 1t doesn't pay to
raise wheat on the small farms In the
east Is often heard, but Is without
foundation Tn. average wheat crop
in the west. on the farms devoted
exclusively to that cereal, Is about
fifteen bushels an mere; in France,
where wheat is grown in rotation with
other crops, the average is about
thirty-Gve bushels,
The wheat farm that the writer Wis

which on clear days the spires of Paris

The first signs Of life to be seen as the

sheep about 200 in all-feeding on
beet tops under the care Of two shcp-
herds with their dogs. Beyond the
sheep and n bit nearer the buildings
were the men loading bcets into enor-
nous two wheeled carts, each being
drawn by three Percheron stations
driven tandem.
Beyond the harvcstcrs were three
sets Of two furrow plows working,
each drawn by six white oxen.
The plows, which were Of the two

n pair of wheels In front to Tighten the

this that am prompted to address you.
For years farmers have justly com
planned OF being required to pull at the
short end of the yoke because of unfair
and unjust determinations in legislation
and transportation, and at the present
time the farmers are charged with being
the cause of the high cost of living when
as a matter of fact, taken collectively
the amount invested in their business the
hours devoted to hard labor and every
thing connected with the details of agri-
cultural life-they are. as a whole. the
poorest paid class of people in this coun-
try while relatively the most important.
During all recent years farmers have
been told what IA great blessing has been
theirs through the so called protective
tariff. and Yet to find market for their
principal crops they have had to compete
in the markets of the world where the
price is fixed But suddenly 1t is dscov-
cred that the farmer is the sole cause for
the high cost Of living. and what hap
pens? The president CHR, TafU with a
total disregard for the interests OF the
farmers. submits n plan to open up to
competition with the farmers of the Unit

being careful to preserve the tariff or
