Field. He is a man whose democracy and ability is unquestioned. He has
recently purchased the store at the place, and is fitting it up in
splendid style. No better choice could be made.

An effort is being made by the Hinchcliffs to start a union among their
men on their yards. They wish it to be purely local, and independent of
all other organizations. The bosses are cute. If the men are determined
to organize themselves into a body, they want them to do so in the
weakest manner possible. But the men won't bite. The attempt Wednesday
night was a miserable failure.
A prominent farmer said to us yesterday, "The idea of saying that the
wheat is all running into straw is all nonsense. Give me plenty of
straw, and this wheat will take care of itself. When the land was new,
the straw was as high as the horses heads, and we got 40 bushels of
wheat to the acre. Of course threshers don't like to see lots of straw
for it gives them more work, but the farmer never kicks. The yield this
year will be very large and harvest early. Last year I got 200 bushels
from 25 acres and I expect to thresh 1000 bushels this year from 59
acres. Oh no don't fret about the wheat running to straw."
