Grasshoppers and Short Crops Warning to Farmers
A long discussion warns that grasshopper plagues may spread widely this year, risking a national crop shock. The Missouri Governor calls a day of fasting and prayer as grain prices rise in Chicago, with farmers urged to plant and fertilize extensively. The piece notes Western grain strength versus cotton, advocates broadcast sowing of peanuts and corn, deep plowing, and use of guano to boost forage, aiming to offset anticipated poor yields in 1875. It also contains reports on Hon. Jefferson Davis’s Dallas visit and various railroad and church notes, with emphasis on grain markets and farming strategies.

Endowment Policy Advice From a 19th Century Letter
The writer argues for taking an Endowment Policy or Limited Payment Policy to secure family support after an early death and provide for old age after twenty years. He notes policy guarantees, mentions the issuer General Dear born, and claims most merchants seek independence, with few desiring reliance on family.
