We are glad to note the gradual tendency among the farmers to return to sowing wheat on an increased scale. They now realize that "corn is not king" at all times, and many, a great many of them will this year sow more wheat than they have for the past 81X or seven years. It is the proper thing to do. Clay Kinzer, one of our prosperous young farmers who was recently married, has just started out for himself, and like the sensible young man that he is, came in and had his name placed upou the credit side of the Pantagraph list. Clay is one of those men who believes that the head of every household sbould become a subscriber to the home paper, a commendable spirit indeed.

They claim that everytime we have open winter we have abundant crops the following season, and vise versa. We settled upon a farm in Sedgwick county in 1877, and the tollowing winter, '77-'78 was very much like the present, and when or where was there ever better crops raised than in the Arkansas valley in 1878? While talking with An old farmer Monday, a gentleman who has farmed the past fifteen years in this section, be said that he has been wishing for an open winter for the past three years, but had not had that wish gratified until now.

He was now satisfled that all those who plow deep, plant early and, cultivate thoroughly, will raise abundant drops. He says the bard winters and plenty of snow will not work in this country, and we beliere him, because our experience teaches us the same thing. The bard winter and plenty of snow will work in the eastern states, but not in Kansas. The present indications for a bountiful wheat crop could not be more promis1ng. Moundridge Mus age.
