Wayne News, May 21, ’O6: “Texas Sweethearts” was the best thing here in a long time.

4-Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Yeoman and daughter of Hibbard, Ind., visited lhe Tatter’s father, W. L. Bringle of Nertton tp., this week.

The Newton County Sentinel is offering a year’s subscription for the largest eight ears of corn brought in to that office prior to December 1, and invites every farmer within the sound of his voice to participate in the contest. The Sentinel editor is long-headed, and if the farmers take to the scheme “right smart” he will have corn to burn. “Texas Sweethearts” tells a story of Life, Love, Hatred, Jealousy and Self-sacrifice on a Texas ranch. One of the leading actors is pretty “Texas Raymond.” for whose heart several are striving, thus giving the title of its play double meaning. It is full of pathos, comedy and excitement, and teaches a splendid moral lesson. It is not a cheaps, blood and thnnder affair. At opera house, Monday, Oct. 22. \CJomplaint is being made* by some of the farmers about there being so few hitch racks in condition to hitch their teams to when they come to town. Many of the old racks, they say, are in such a dilapidated condition that they are useless. This should be remedied, for it it is not every farmer who stops in town a few minutes once or twice a week that cares to go to the trouble of putting his team up in a hitch barn. The Democrat got notice from its paper house this week that all print paper had been advanced 10 per cent and to “watch out for another sharp advance soon.” And the republicans are telling us how Roosevelt has reduced the price of print paper almost onehalf by busting the paper trust! It is a noticeable fact that whenever the republicans bust a trust it doesn’t hurt the trust any and the consumer never notices any reduction in the price of the trust product. Lake County Star: John Brown & Son have an outfit at their Kankakee ranch for making cement building blocks, and intend having enough material on hand to build three houses on their estate next season. It is their intention now to divide the big tract into moderate sized farms, and as fast as possible put up buildings. With the big dike and the ditches being dug water is no longer to be feared in that locality, and occasionally it seems possible they will have to irrigate, but that will be easy. A hole punched through the dike will do the work. The most complete stock of clothing and shoes in western Ind. Right goods at right prices. Chicago Bargain Store.

LETTER FROM NORTH DAKOTA.

Buttzville, No. Dakota. Oct. 15,1906. Editor Democrat: — Having been here almost a month I concluded I would write you my views of Dakota. It is a fine looking country and the crops this year are as good as any I ever looked at. There was no threshing done when I landed here so I could see what grew here this year. The land is certainly very good but yet I am puzzled to know what to say to the poor man about coming here. One thing certain, if a man is able to get his teams and tools here, it beats Jasper, but it is here as it is in Jasper, the landlords figure for themselves and not for the renter. They rent for half and furnish the seed and agree to pay for their half of the threshing, but they figure from the stack. Now the farmers can’t stack their grain for they have too much, and shock threshing is ten cents a bushel, so the landlord counts four cents for his half, making the tenant pay sixteen cents. But taking wages into consideration—wages are about one half higher here than in Jasper county —I believe it is better here for a a poor man. To a man that can raise SI,OOO or $2,000 he would have a sure show to do well here. I was talking to a man this morning that came here three years ago with his wife and four children and thirty-two cents in his pocket. Now he has his team and tools to farm with, and is farming. If a man had money to invest in land I don’t belive he could he could do better than to invest here at Buttzville. Of course the atmosphere gets in a hurry sometimes and travels like everything' If you wear a straw hat you have to chase it a hundred yards every little while. I chased mine Saturday while the wind played Yankee Doodle with my over-coat tails. Yes there is lots of atmosphere here. I haven’t located yet but am about to rent f of a section five miles east of Lisbon. I was past John Brown’s place yesterday, but didn’t stop. He had a fine crop this year. Bud Hammond had 4,400 bushels of wheat and 2,000 bushels of oats and has 80 acres to thresh yet. Cut this in half and

INDIANA FARMERS

Will Observe Seed Corn Harvest Day, October, 25, 1906. The Indiana Corn Growers’ Association at its last annual meeting named Thursday, October 25, as Seed Corn Harvest Day. The reason for this action is that much loss comes through corn allowed to stand in the field and which is subjected to the hard breezes of November and December. The Corn Growers’ Association believes that if every ear of corn intended for next year’s seed could be harvested by Oct. 25, and properly stored, millions of bushels would be added to the crop of Indiana. Farmers are urged to go into their best fields and select the best ears from strong vigorous stalks. Hang this corn where every ear will be subjected to a free circulation of pure air and where it will be protected during the winter. Two or three times the amount of seed actally required for planting next spring should be selected in order that a more rigid selection may be made before planting time. This work cannot be urged too strongly and farmers should not fail to act on this warning. The farmers of Indiana should have a definite time for this work and should arrange to do the work at that time.
