on skedule time, and was greeted
by a large crowd of farmera and
business men. who were asaeinbled
in and around tne train and listen-
ed to addrcaaes by the Hon. John
Fields and George Kiahop. a.in at
7:30 p. m.. these two gentlemen
made another speech each, followed
by Mr. Cotterell of the Rock Island
Railway, and while these gentlemen
got a little mixed on agricultural
■tatistics concerning our county,
and Mr. Cotterell overdid his duty
in rebuking us for our crude farm
methods, it was what we needed.
We must produce our own reed,
and have enough to raise our hogs,
before we do our whole duty along
the farming line. Kafir and the
kindred crops, will enable us to
take our place among the most
prosperous agricultural states when
we learn how to farm and feed
stuff, and as they said market our
grain on four feet.
