According to report* Saturday
the er»rn crop in Kains county is
going to be better tfian has been
expected Our sandy soil stands
the drouth well.
We sre in receipt of a 10-pag*j
special 4th of foly editiou l tie
Midland Reporter which is a .*y**.
opener of the splendid advantage#
that thriving little city boast a of.
The pupnr is neatly printed and
the illustrations are good and
their effort* should be appreciated
by its *ulMK*rib**r*
Quite a number have planted
several acres of June corn and the,
prospect# for getting a crop from
it rre very good right now. Bui,
we want to call attention to the
fall and winter pasture which can
so successfully be groW II III this
county. A farmer with one or
two seres of winter pastur can'
save half of his corn and ntle r
feed crops It is one of the great-
est money savers, on n small scale,
that the farmers in this comity i
can invest in.
All good proa are for local
option if they can’t get Htatewide,
but the antis who are now hur-
i«hing for iocai option to defeat
Statewide prohibition, ar- the
same enemies they ever were
deep down in their hearts. But
they won’t own it just now
Htatewide prohibition can only
affect dry counties for the better
by removing the saloon further
away, and that is wh\ nil true
local optionees are for.statewide
