The Reed Butterfly iu 5-oarts Sow Wheat It looks like going out of one'* way to urge people to do the things they know they should do, but it ia often necessary to do thut very thing. The government, both o Siate aud Nation, urged and preached food raising during the past summer, and it bore fruit. The result in the big gest corn crop at all, besides a bi« 'crop of other articles of food. Wheat is the priucipal crop that can be planted yet, before cold weather come", and every farmer is urged to do his utmost, though labor is scarcer than ever. The wheat will be need ed to feed the people at home and on the battle-fields. Those at war can not plant—those at home will have to do the planting for them or there will be much hunger and suffering. To feed the people—to furnish biead —is the first consideration. Besides the prime object of bread supply, the farmer is assured that he will get good prices for his surplus. These two considerations should be a suf ficient stimulus for heavy planting. Chas. A.
