to her, and got a note from the dealer in re-

Walnut TIMBER.

A Michigan farmer sold a large
walnut tree for which he received
1916. Walnut trees grow in Kan
sas, with remarkable Vigor and
thrift. The soil and climate of
Kansas seem to be especially ia
vorable to this variety of timber.
There are numerous groves of
walnut in this State, planted only
ten years ago, that are almost
large enough tor commercial uses.
Walnut timber is very valuable. 1t
commands, at all times, the best
prices because it is now so gener-
ally utilized In the manufacture of
furniture, and for building pur-
poses Kansas farmers ought to
give attention to its culture. A
few bushels of walnuts, planted and
properly attented to for a few
years, will produce a valuable
grove of walnut trees, adding
largely to the value of farm.

The Figures.

Lyon county is % miles wide
and 80 miles long. 1t contains
s5S sections and 1892 quarter sec
lions. This multiplied by 16O,
makes $50, 552 acres. Now, notice
this: According to the state agri-
cultural report only 1919 acres
were in cultivation in 1876. Nearly
all of the land inLyon county is sus-
ceptible OF cultivation. There are
some portions OF the bluffs where
the stone crops out that are not
worth cultivating. But there are
scarcely 100 quarters in the county
that have not some good tillable
land upon them. But, suppose
we reserve one-third of the county
for stock range, and we have only
one-ffth of the other two-thirds
under cultivation. From these
calculations it will at a glance be
seen that what Lyon county most
wants, and what every business
interest here most wants, is more
farmers end stock-raisers-more
producers. Our towns are now full
OF people, but they are mostly
men who are looking for business
and professional locations. OF
course we are glad they are here,
and hope they will stay with US;
but there are ten times more in
ducements offered in the cuitiva-
ton of the soil and kindred occu-
pations than there are in any other
branch. of business. We repeat
that what Lyon county wants
more than anything else, is the
opening up OF 1000 new farms by
intelligent, sturdy, and determined
farmers.

The total deficit of the German

Good strong blown glass tum-
blers are being delivered into Eng
Iish ports from America for Sd. per
dozen, and a good hexagonal and
octagonal cut Dutch tumbler for

United States, from whence but re-
Gently nothing of the kind was ex-

en- of frog legs, of which about two
thirds have been shipped to ST.
Louis. The average quotation of
prices is twenty cents per dozen.
