12 A Year lit Advance.
LIIO STONE CITY, DAKOTA
IUIDAY, SEPT. 28, 1883.
The copious rain last week helped
plowing somewhat. Farmers should
profit ly the experience of the current
year, and do early and deep plowing.
Wherever the plowing had been done
early last fall, or if plowed deep when
done, this spring, the crop has been in*
variably good, ranging from twenty
three to thirty bushels an acre.
Seed well dragged in and properly
covered always yields best but it is
impossible to cover well seed sown on
shallow or uneven plowing. Further
more, dee]) plowing is a great safe
guard against drouth. The deeper
the loose, porus soil is the better does
it retain moisture and resist the influ
ences of a hot sun, as it is a poorer con
ductor of heat. No farmer can afford
to slight his plowing as it is the very
basis of successful farming. An inch
or two is as much new soil as ought
to be brought up in any one season
when increasing the depth of plowing
and it should be brought up in the fall
to be pulverized by the winter's winds
and frost.
Last Tuesday morning, John Fart h
er,
of the lieyen & Maes elevator at
this place, determined to "bull" the
wheat market, and set the price up
from 7(i to 80 cents for Xo. 1 soft.
This was a magnificent advance and
fully appreciated by the farmers.
Loads of wheat, storage wheat and
checks, were disposed of with an alac
rity that showed satisfaction with the
price. Other elevators in the neigh
borhood viewed the matter with cool
indifference, virtually closing their
hoppers and waiting for the times to
return in which they could buy with
profit. The price paid by this
enterprising firm was said to be 12
cents above the Milbank market for
the same grade and much wheat from
the immediate vicinity of that town
was brought here. From Ortonville
and Big Stone county to the east they
also came. Wednesday, the prices
were maintained, all the elevators
doing business. Wheat rushed in
lively from all quarters and Big .Stone
maintained its established reputation
of being the best wheat market with
in a hundied miles of this.
Yesterday the fight ended and wheat
fell to its normal price, five cents low
er. Our query now is. why didn't the
good work goon? We believe the
elevators were making an honest profit
at feO cents and it would have pleased
the fanners immensly to have received
that price or higher right along.
IN the disgraceful personal fight,
growing out of Rev. A. Slierin's last
winter's trouble and his subsequent
expulsion from the M. E. church, the
HERALD has heretofore refused to
allow its columns to be polluted with
the unmanly strife, believing that the
tierce flames of faction would the
sooner be quenched, and this unprof
itable and disgusting petty warfare
between citizens of our own town be
brought to an end. This conserva
tiv action on our part did not please
the factional leaders, and straight
way one of them Hies to the Milbank
News-Letter, and under an assumed
name and with the pretense of fur
nishing legitimate news, attacks his
rival with uncalled for abuse, and
seeks to cast a slur upon the camp
meeting interests of Dig Stone City.
The Ortonville Herald has been used
hy a correspondent of the other side
in reference to the trouble, though
without the ungentlemanly abuse
of the News-Letter man. Now,
the 1IKRALL, as the champion of Rig
Stone's interests, demands that this
cess-pool fight, of which our citizens
are heartily sick, be forever ended,
or the leaders desist from publishing
to the world the unhallowed quarrel.
We give fair warning that if this
newspaper war is continued, we pro
pose to take a hand in it, and if we
are compelled to do this, we shall
go right down to the bottom, produce
facts, and make the fur fly generally.
We hope we shall not be compelled to
do this, but the disgraceful squabble
has already continued too long for the
interests and the good name of our
village. Let us have peace.
Tukv Motive,
All parties knowing themselves in
debted to us either by note or book
account, please eall and settle at once,
as we need our money.
