The freezing out of the winter wheat is respon sible for a larger acreage of corn and oats throuphout this state, as v -il as in numerous others. The result shows that the rotation of crops is good for production. The threshing returns on the farm of Gtorge Slan der, last Saturday, show S3 bushel of oats per acre. At the price for which oats are selling now, even the most high priced farm land; are profitable from a farming standpoint. Paper Plates and Picnic Sets at jthe Journal office.
