FoiV Dollars a Dushel for Oats-Seed adlyuld -Wheat Looking Bad Two Host Valued Citizens Called Sud denlj Awaj-Maglc Healer in t'ridence Last Week's Stoim Severe A Mar riage. Organ Church, March 4, 1$02. We heard one of our .farmers lasl week offering four dollars a bushel for seed bats, or some thiug.to that effect. He said he would give.an acre of fall sown oats, which, counting prepara tion of land, seed apd fertilizer, cost him four dollars for a bush el of bats to sow his spring crop. He got no oats. The trouble is our farmers sowed a large acre age in oats last fall. The severe winter billed it and now they have none left for seed. The early sown wheat looks tolerably well or at least you can sec there is something on the ground, whilo the later sowing has been almost, if not entirely, killed while the still later sowing, that that came up since Christ mas has a fairly good stand. On the whole the outlook for a wheat crop in our red -land section is gloomy indeed. Mr. John Hartman, ,tho . Mag- 1C healer, has located m our midst and hung out his shingle, so to speak, and is kept quite busy. He makes a specialy of chronb cases, consumption, epi lepsy, etc. Ho being in our "burg" but a short time we are not able to say what success Trill crown his labors.
