Crop Conditions Better

Since the few days Of fair wealth
er and sunshine the farmers have
become unusually active in the
corn fields. Upland fields are now
dry enough to work we'll and the
weed killing is in full swing. On
drive Of ten miles into the coun-
try Wednesday evening we noticed
some fields where the corn was
more than knee high and reason
ably clean of weeds while in other
fields it seemed to be a close race
between the corn and weeds. How
ever, a few days more Of good
weather will make a big change in
the crop prospects and there is yet
time for a fair corn crop. Rye is
being cut and wheat is turning and
the reapers will be put to work by
the middle of next week.

Doctor Not Coming

Last week The BLADE announced
that Laclede was to have new
doctor but this week we have to
take it all back. The next day
after DR.. Fickel was here and
secured a residence and office rooms
he received a message from the
Union Pacific railroad officials
rendering him the position of di-
vision surgeon with headquarters
at Rollins, Wyoming, a big pro-
motion over the position he had
just resigned with an attractive
increase in salary. He considered
the offer too good to turn down
and accepted returning to Wyoming
Saturday after coming to Laclede
and cancelling the reservations he
had made here.
