Weekly Letter From John Ii. Page,
 Commissioner of Agriculture.

Commssloner of Agriculture.
 Corn planting time will soon be here. First of all get some good seed There are several good varieties. Some like one and some another It is better to confine your crop to one or two varieties. The Johnson County White, the Reid Yellow Dent, and number of others are good, but be sure and select some good variety and then get good seed.
 The best way is to buy your seed from some man who makes a speciality of growing seed corn. Buy the corn in the ear and shell it yourself. Be sure it has been tested to see how much will come up when planted. Good seed men test their corn. Seed corn brought this way will cost more, but it pays. You are going to cultivate the land anyway, so see that the seed are what they ought to be in variety and quality. If you plantyour corn in rows 1-2 feet apart, and have one stalk in the row to every 18inches, your corn will not be too thick, and you will have 8400 stalks. If each stalk bears one good ear, and 100 ears would make bushel, you would make 84 bushles per acre. This would not be an unreasonable yield to expect under favorable conditions on good or well fertilized land Yet, how many far mers make it? However, if 25 per cent of the seed should not come up, the yield would be cut off 25 per cent or 2l bushels per acre. You may not agree with my figures, but if you don t. then get pencil and paper and figure some yourself. What you may learn by figuring may help you.
 Don't plant the corn too thick, but get a good stand and protect it. Don't let teams break itdown or bite it of, during cultivation. It will make big diff ference when you go to crib it in the fall.

 The grocery store of John L. Cline was entered on Thursday night of last week by means of key to the front door. On Monday night an attempt was made to enter the front door of Shaffer's drug store, the lock being broken by key that would not fit. It seems that the recent apprehension of parties for these depredations and the putting on of night watch has had little or no effect upon the burglary business here.

Save Your Cattle.


account Of the damage to the corn
crop, yet the more intelligent farm
ers know that impulsive action
should not be the order of the day
Facing the probability of having to
buy corn or to incur unusual ex-
penss, either in building silos or
otherwise making especial arrange
ments to care for his stock, the
farmer is inclined to say What is
the use" and let his cattle 90 to
markets already over-burdened
with thin or habitat cattle. But to
the man who keeps his head clear
and is in position to make the ex-
traordinary effort required, there
should be valuable return when
he can market good beef later in
the year.
Some of the best posted authori.
ties, men and institutions, who take
the long view are urging co-opera-
ton between all people interested
in the business to the end of main
tanning our supply of cattle. Mr..
Traylor, Vice-President of the Ma.
tiOnal Stock Yards National Bank.
who has given this subject a great
deal of study, and whose Bank is as
closely identified with the live stock
business.as any other institution in
the west, has written a letter to in
terror bank correspondents urging
them to give their live stock men
every apossible encouragement to
stay with their cattle. This letter
reads in part as follows:
"The;prolonged drouth in a num-
Der of corn! growing states, as is
natural in such cases, causes farm
ers and stock growers to become
very much alarmed and in many
instances to consider shipping to
market practically their entire
holdingssof cattle and hogs. Such
action would inevitably result in a
greater slump in prices, with cor
responding loss to shippers, as well
as a further depletion of the al
ready meager supply of these ami
mals.on the farms.
In our opinion the present is
peculiarly time when every effort
should be made to hold all kinds of
live stock, and especially cattle. The
history of the live stock industry is
that periods, of this kind have al
ways. been followed by higher prices
and that those who successfully
weather such drouths, although put
to great. expense in so doing, are
uniformlysswel repaid for their
action.
If syOu feel that the matter is
worth while we believe you can
render your customers great service
by advising with them along these
lines by encouraging them to keep
cool, if possible, and by all means
to avoidI sacrificing any of theil
stuff that is not ready for market.
The.argument made is backed up
by figures taken from the records
of the st. Louis National Stock
Yards. which are undoubtedly relia-
} BILE. The figures show that after the
drouth of 1901 beef cattle increased
from.a minimum of $5.65 per cwt.,
in 1901 to a minimum of 81 65 in
1902, and that there was anaverage
gain in the prices on this class OF
cattle in 1902 of $2.25 per cwt
Feeder cattle sold in the terrific
drouth of 1901 at from $2.98 to
$485 per cwt., and yet were selling
in 1902 at $485 to $5,75 per cwt.,
an average gain of SIPS per cwt.

PUT ENOUGH POSTAGE
ON FOREIGN MAIL

Postmaster James J. English has re-
ceived communication from the post
master General at Washington, rela-
tive TO the rates Of postage upon ct
ters addressed TO foreign countries.
The postoffce department states-that
IL had received many complaints ABOUT
letters being addressed 10 Australia
bearing two cent stamp. the senders
evidently presuming that the domestic
postage rate applied to such letters.
The only foreign countries to which
the 2-cent postage rate is applicable
are Canada. Cuba. Mexico, Newfound-
land, the canal zone, Republic OF Pau
anna Germany Thy direct steamers
only, England, Scotland. Wales and
Ireland, and the City OF Shanghai
China. The rate OF postage TO all
other countries is 5 cents for the first
ounce, and 3 cents for each additional
ounce or fraction thereof. which must
be prepaid or the letter Will become
liable on delivery to charge equal
TO double the amount OF the deficient
postage For instance single rate let
ters which are prepaid cents and
Ishort-paid cents are subject on de-
livery to an additional charge Of 6
icents.
The public is therefore warned 10
be careful to see that all forign letters
bear sufficient postage.
