crops look very good except where they are 
injured by grasshoppers. There la a bolt of 
them here and extending up into Minnesota, 
about loo by 500 miles In extent, and one-third 
of the wheat in that belt In tills vicinity is de¬ 
stroyed. They do not Injure oats and corn 
much. We arc near the southeast boundary, 
and many of the wheat fields here are entirely 
oaten up and tho roots dead, while other Holds 
are doing well; but their winga are about half 
grown on the largest of them, aid we hope 
they will soon migrate and leave us a share of 
the crops. They camo hero In June last year 
and Injured the wheat, materially. Wheat la

It is permitted to few rucu or companies to 
achieve acknowledged superiority in any im¬ 
portant position or business. The present gen¬ 
eration lias witnessed stupendous rivalry In 
several branches of industry, and notably the 
Sewing Machine business. Amid a multitude 
of competitorsteadily and surely tbc Wheeler 
& Wilson Company held their way from the 
beginning, upon fixed and honorable principles. 
Long since, their leading position in America 
was established. Abroad, at London, in 1862, 
they won the highest premiums; at Paris, In 
lHliV, they distanced elgbty-two competitor-), 
and were awarded the highest premium, the 
only Gold Medal for Sowing Machines exhibit¬ 
ed; and lastly, amid unparalleled competition 
followed the splendid triumphs at Vienna, 
noted in our advertizing columns.
