THE immigration to Kansas is larger
this winter than it has been for eigh,
years, and it will doubtless be larger
in the spring than it has been during the
winter. There never was better time
than the present for persons to secure
homes in our State, land is cheap and
provisions and grain such as farmers
would have to buy till they could raise
a crop are abundant and extremely low.
An unusually large acreage of land will
be under cultivation this year as farmers
have been able to continue their plow-
ing nearly the entire winter. With
another bountiful crop hard times in this
State will be among the things Of the
past,

The Kansas Farm~ of last week has

The Kansas Fdrmcr of last week has
the following sensible article in reference
to the Centennial appropriations:
1--WE believe as plain business propo-
sition that the people of Kansas will rec
ognize the fact that reasonable amount
of money expended in placing before the
country the products and resources of
Kansas at the coming Centennial will
assist practically in removing the cloud
yhich overshadows the State to-day.
We need people to fill our broad, rich
valleys and to occupy the tens of thou
sands of acres of unOccupied land, and
the opportunity to advertise the State
presented By the Centennial cannot be
lost. We believe the return will be a
thousand fold in directing emigration
again towards Kansas. That the patri-
otto sentiment among our people and
the State pride We have. will, over and
above the business consideration before
mentioned. sanction q rsasone BILE appro-
priation if surrounded - it should be

The daily use Of lying and dishonest
