Nebraska Asks Help. 
Gen. JamkmS. HursBiN, U. 8. Army, appeals 
direct to the people of the State of New York 
for help for 10,000 people In the Western part of 
Nebraska " who are reduced to the verge of 
starvation." Ho has lately traveled over four¬ 
teen coiifitiea and found fully one-third of the 
inhabitants barefooted and clothed in rags. 
There were no potatoes, no corn and but a little 
shriveled wheat. Many families were living on 
small pieces of black bread, parched wheat, or 
melons and squashes. Three counties were 
without meat, and most of the In habitants had 
not tasted animal food for six weeks. Nebraska 
is too poor financially to take care of these 
starving without help. Immediate help Is 
needed. Food, clothing, groceries, stores of 
any kind, should be addressed “ Nebraska be¬ 
lief," Army Building, 31 Houston 8t., N. Y. 
City, or Information and directions can lx; 
obtained at the same address. Gen. Bkisbin is 
acting under the authority of Guv. Furnas of 
Nebraska, who Is. also President of the Nebras¬ 
ka State Aid and Relief Society, Omaha, Neb., 
where contributions may be sent by those 
nearer that point than this State.

THE SEASON, CROPS, PRICES, ETC. 
Cnledoula, Livingston Co., N. Y., \ov. 30.— 
The fall has been very dry. Springs and wells 
are low. Between snow and rain, there lias 
been quite a fall of Water. I notice it stated 
that the fall sown wheat of Central ana West¬ 
ern Now York Is much better thau in many 
years paat. From my own observation and 
judgment. I should say this was a little strong, 
although much of It Is looking quite well. The 
last of October and beginning of November 
there was considerable anxiety manifested by 
early sowers and those who had their fallows 
thoroughly fitted. At Lliis time It watt dry nnd 
warm—many days hot. Much of the wheat 
sown as above described had attained a large 
size, and nearly all such wheat became more or 
less yellow, some pieces extremely so, com¬ 
mencing with the lower leaves and working up 
the plant. The Claw son showed this more than 
any other variety. I noticed this especially 
upon my own place and upon two different 
fields and soils. The first piece sown was a 
clay loam, wheat stubble turned down In the 
fall and thoroughly summer-fallowed to kill 
quack grass. No fertilizer of any kind was used. 
This was sown on Sept. 6 to Post and Clawson 
wheat. With several showers the wheat oame 
rapidly forward and attained large size. Dur¬ 
ing the hot, dry period mentioned the Clawson 
became very yellow*, the Post, some, but the 
difference between the two was so great, a i to 
be seen at the distance of eight rods. The same 
difference was Dot'cort between Diehl and 
Clawson, sown several days later, upon a sharp 
gravel soli, with clover and manure turned 
under. 
Many thought this yellow appearance was 
caused by Insects, but an examination did not 
discover this to be the cause. My theory Is, an 
early large growth, with hot, dry weather. All 
such wheat lias changed greatly in appearance, 
mainly from frost and snow pressing the lower 
leaves, which were the yellow ones, to the 
ground. 
The potato crop has paid the best, of any crop 
grown by the farmer in this vicinity; and ho 
who wits so fortunate as to plant five, ten, or 
more acres was, as far as crop was concerned, 
the happiest man to be found. The crop sold 
readily and brought the cash with it. Until 
within the last two years potatoes did not 
grow here in quantities to make it an object 
for shippers In this town to buy. But Ibis full 
\ym. Hamilton, produce dealer, has shipped 
from Caledonia 80,00(1 bushels ; ho paid out for 
the month of October over $43,000 for produce, 
largely for potatoes. This was not all of the 
Caledonia potato trade, for there were other 
buyers: but Mr. Hamilton was altogether the 
largest shipper. 
The pork trade of this and adjoining towns 
will be much leas than in former years. Light 
and heavy pork varies but little In price,selling 
at 8*4 to »c., dressed. Barley bar been selling 
moderately at fi.lU to $1.35. Wheat, the far¬ 
mer’s poor-paying crop, has been sold grudg¬ 
ingly am) sparingly at $1.05 to $1.30, tbo latter 
for extra white. Much of the corn in this and 
adjoining towns, ultough sound, Is poor In 
yield, the stalks being, In proportion, the bet¬ 
ter part of the crop, for the growth was very 
good, and they were secured lu fine condition. 
Butter and eggs, 1 should Judge, arc not plenti¬ 
ful, as many applicants arc turned away empty 
from the stores. Butter retails at 38 to 40c. per 
pound. Winter is closing upon us with six 
Inches of snow. -a. l. 
•Ml. Ulln, Rowan Co , N, 4’., IVov. 26 . — We 
have hud a remarkably dry fall and some cold 
snaps rather early. A good rain last Sunday 
helped the wheat, very much. Plenty of ice 
this morning; fine weather for killing pork. 
Pork Is worth 10c., and In demand ; b«t f S and 
8c.. and plenty; Corn Is from 50 to Wc. at the 
heap. The dry spring made corn late, thefc- 
foro ii is being put up without being us dry as 
It should be. In this neighborhood the crop Is 
very good, but not much for the market. The 
wheat crop was good, hut as corn was scarce 
after harvest it has been pretty well exhausted. 
Flour is worth $7 per 100 lbs. The cotton crop 
Is short, partly Owing to a dry spring, unfavor¬ 
able to planting, or. rather,getting a stand, and 
partly owing to heavy frosts early this fall, j 
Thero has been a good deal of land changing j 
hands in l his county at price* ranging from $8 
to $l.i per acre. A flue plantation was sold at 
administrator’s sale last, week at $9.,% per acre. 
Hired help Is plenty on the farms at from $8 lo 
$l"per month and board, though it la very un¬ 
reliable -the farmers In this country having 
little or no control of the hired labor. The 
prevailing idea with the colored class Is to 
farm on their own hook and do as they please, 
and the consequence is they make Jighl crops 
and are compelled to steal or suffer. Clover 
and most of the grasses flourish In this part of 
the State.—8. L. 
Wichita, Sedgwick Co., Kan., Nov. 30. 1 
Inclose $3 50 1*. O. order to renew’ subscription 
for paper for 1875. Our County (160 nolle? west 
of K itism) Cily and 50 miles south) In tho Ar¬ 
kansas Valley Install her corn and nearly nil 
her vegetables by the grasshopper raid this fall. 
We had say 2,00° acres of fall wheat which w’as 
a gootl crop and produced from 18 to 35 bushels 
per acre. I have good authority for tbe state¬ 
ment that 30,000 acres have been sown In this 
county this fall to fall wheat or rye and It all 
looks splendid. Our spring wheat acreage was 
larger than the fall, but chinch bugs harvested 
that . Several families In every one of our 20 
townships are deal itutc of any means to provide 
food, clothing or fuel for the year and must 
have help. All contributions of clothing (suit¬ 
able for win ten, or of money to buy provisions 
or fuel, sent, In cure of our State Aid Society, 
to our Ladles* Aid Society of Wichita, will be 
brought free on our Western railroads and be 
carefully distributed. Our city has grown In 
past year one-fourth in value of buildings, and 
emigration of class strong, financially, i& fill¬ 
ing up our town mucI country rapidly. A good 
crop next year will make us feel like the man 
w ho came out of the woods.—J. E. C. 
Hustings, Adams Co., Neb., Nov. 1&.—1 thiuk 
the statement In the Rur al of Nov. 14 is .■some¬ 
what exaggerated. There are some hero who 
will need help, but then, will be very few in 
our Oounl y. Wo have had a very’ beautiful fall. 
Our first, mow fell Nov. II. At this writing we 
are having a snowstorm from the northeast. 
Had the grasshoppers stayed away, we shot! Id 
have hod a fine crop of corn, Our wheat was 
nearly an average; potatoes, half crop; oats, 
ditto. Wheat la worth 55 to 00c.; oats, 65c.; 
barley, 75c.; potatoes, 60c.; butter, 30c.; eggs, 
25c. Horses are very low, owing to scarcity of 
grain.— o. w. h. 
Lnuinrtlne, Carroll Co., Ohio, Nov. 26.— 
Season pretty dry. Oat crop very light. Corn 
and wheat crop abundant. Hay crop almost a 
failure. Peach and grape crops abundant, with 
few apples. Fall most beautiful, with but little 
rain ; a light fall of snow’ on Nov. 20. Corn a'l 
husked. Hay, $20 per ton : corn, 75c. per bush.; 
oats, 60c.; wheat,, $1; potatoes, 75o.; butter, 25c.; 
eggs, 20c.; live hogs. $5.50 per cwt.; cattle, $3.50 
per cwt. Day laborers, $1 per day and board. 
Horses dull.—W. E. E. 
Juniata, Adams Co,, N'cti., Nov. 21.— Abun¬ 
dance of rain during the spring month*. Dry 
weather through most of June and early July, 
since which time there baa been an unusual 
amount of rain. Fall plowing ceased, by reason 
of frost, Nov. 18. The locust? gathered the 
corn ; other crops good. Wheat,60c. per bush.; 
corn, 75c.; potatoes, 60c.; coal, $9 per ton; 
wood (elm, cotton-wood, white ash), $4.50 to 
$5.50 per cord. Buffalo herds 200 miles away.— 
It. II. C- 
lilchnnlMon Co., Neb., Nov. 21.— We have 
had a very dry season. Raised no corn ; have 
had to feed homes and hogs on wheat. Had a 
line fall up t,o Nov. 18, when wo got six inches 
of snow, and have had winter weather ever 
since.—K. C. H. 
TiiNcnrawan, o., Nov, 23.—Season for gar¬ 
deners aud truckers has been rather dull. Sum¬ 
mer rather dry, but we have not much reason 
to complain. Since the middle of November 
we have bad light rains and a little snow.—
