ture for this Locality

Danville. ILL.,. Dec. 30.--To the
Miller Press: If you knew how
much your readers enjoyed the crop
notes and grain price list each week,
you would print it oftener in your
paper. We arrived home finally
after a sojourn Of six weeks in your
up-to-date little city. and must say
we never met a finer lot of people
and who treated US most royalty.
You have the most complete little
city we ever saw of its size. With
the wonderful grainlands around.
1t is destined to be a city Of note be-
fore long, as land must surely soon
bring its worth. Our returns on
our three quarters of Hand county
land have been most satisfactory.
We also purchased another quarter
before we left and are on a deal for
another now. So you see we
have the utmost faith in the great
future of Miller and vicinity. Please
accept our sincere thanks for the
many favors shown US.
Sincerely,

The short course, or farmers in

holding a four days course. Daily
meetings are held at the Jewell
theatre, and evening meetings at
the Mccoy hall, at which lecturers
talk upon farm topics, domestic
science. etc. The meetings are in
teres'ing to those who attend, but
as usual heretofore, they are not as
largely attended as they should be.
However those who go profit by the
experience of the experts. Prizes
are given for the best exhibits of
farm and home products.
H. E. Dawes. the corn and alfalfa
lecturer, made a statement of great
Importance this year. He claims
that there is TO necessity Of planting
so much alfalfa seed as usual. He
thinks 2 pounds per acre if sown
evenly Is all the ground can proper
" grow and ripen; that there are
enough seed in two lbs to make all
the plants an acre can take care Of,
il the seed ell terminate.
This is important because alfalfa
seed will be scarce and high this
