For the Eagle.
From Over the River.
DELANo, April 8, 1873.

DELANo, April 3, 1873.
EEIToR EAGLE Permit few
lines from "over the river" in your
columns. The crop prospects fill
every farmers heart with joy. The
broad fields of waving wheat pro-
claim an early harvest, which will un-
doubleday commence in May. Many
are predicting from twenty-five to
forty bushels per acre, and an unusu-
ally large acreage was sowu last fall.
Great attention is being paid this
spring to planting trees, many taking
advantage of the millions OF young
trees which may be found along the
streams, to set out in groves, and ere
long we may lose our reputation of
being prairie country.
Fruit trees are loaded with BIOS
SONS. Everything looks fiourishing
and Thrift and if present appearances
are q criterion, next fall will see many
of our poor farmers out of debt, plen-
ty of money for improvements and
everybody happy.
| remember hearing lecturer in
Wichita say. short time since, that
he never knew farmer to fail if he
"stuck to the plow." In my opinion
that is the key note, "slick 10 the
piow. We don't want to talk politics
in saloons or finance on dry-goods
boxes, but in farmers clubs or
oranges discuss the best varieties of
wheat, or the best breeds of cattle
and hog s. ''Stick TO the plow" and
not croak about we weather aud
drouth, and ten TO oae we will come
out ahead. So mote il be.

Kansas might go into the fruit and
corn canning business with the GER
tainty of making the speculation pay.
In less than five years Kansas will be
one of the greatest fruit raising States
in the Union, and there is no safer or
more profitable way of disposing of
the surplus crop than by canning it..
Canned peaches in particular always
command a ready sale and at a big
profit, and Kansas is going to beat the
world on peaches before long. Rails
ing sweet corn and canning it is an
industry that will pay about one hum
dred per cent. interest on the invest
ment. Come to think the matter over
there are lots of enterprises that
might be started to advantage i'll Kan
sas.

THE EAGLE ESSAYS HER SEVENTH AN
NUAL FLIGHT.
Good Words for Fer Supporters and for Our
Great Valley.

With the same degree of confidence that
was entertained by as and expressed in the
first issue of the EAGLE, and in the first
number of every succeeding year, IN the
grand future OF this magnificent valley, which
our readers inherit, and in its metropolis, in
which they are so largely interested, we es-
cay another annual fight, taking only time
enough to mos, heartily congratulate them
and ourself upon the fact that in almost every
particular has not only our fondest dreams Of
growth and development been substantially
realized, but in many surpassed. The health
Of our climate, the fertility of our soil, the it,
crease OF our population and wealth are set
tied questions. While we, as people, have
not entirely escaped the effects of paralyze
commerce and the Frustrated condition OF
finances OF the eastern States, we have, new.
theless, not suffered a 1.-THE in comparison
and the outlook for the near future is mos,
cheering. Expressing the hope that the
EAGLE has never lost sight CT its pledges
never tailed to discern and advocate the true
interests of its thousands of friends in TIN,
valley, and feeling that its faith in people ano
county grows stronger with each succeeding
year, we again bid one and all "God speed. y
As will be seen, cur entire space, almost. il
devoted this week TO matters setting fortl
the many advantages of cur country. Ii
this we have not attempted 10 rival the illus
trated edition of two years ago when. in ex
haustiye comments and complete statistics
was set forth every municipal, official ant
material interest OF our county and city, bu
efIer something OF a mere general nature
quoting largely from others.
Two thousand extra copies are prlntet
which can be procured at this Office and a

should, without fail forward this number a

Westward, 10 !

The tide of emigration now starting
westward is astonishing. We could
easily fill whole columns with notes
taken from our western exchanges OF
the daily transit and arrival of trains
loaded with emigrants and their house
hold goods. Thousands of farmers
and laboring men are leaving Penusyl-
vania and the eastern States and set
Ting in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa. Col
orado, Texas, and the other western
States. One statistician, well inform
ed as to the movement, estimates that
during 1873 Nebraska will gain $4,000,
Kansas $4,000, and Texas $4,000, popu-
lation. $50 West, young man." is as
potent to-day as wheI spoken years
ago by Horace Greeley. The Missis-
sippi Valley has abundance of room
for teeming thousands and extends a
hearty invitation to all to come and
share in the heritage there awaiting

Colonies of emigrants to Kansas,
instead of Missouri, and why? For
several reasons, among them notably,
that Missouri was far behind Kansas
in her exhibition and display of pro-
ducts at the great Centennial EXPOSE
ton at Philadelphia; and secondly,
that Missouri is asleep to the impor-
lance of inducing emigrants TO settle
in the State, while Kansas is wide
awake and full of energy. A cotem-
porary truthfully says that Kansas is
now reaping a magnificent reward for
her display at the Centennial Exhibit
ton. She will probably gain 100000
in population this year, and several
millions in wealth.-St. Joe. Chroni-

EDITOR EAGLE Each week as ]
scan the columns of our EAGLE, find
no items from this part of the coun-
try.
Gentle spring has come for sure,
and the average granger is happy.
All arc done sowing oats and many
are planting corn. The peach and
plum trees have cast their fragrance
on the air, but their beauty has faded
aud the prospect for a large crop is
very flattering. The wheat could not
look better, and the acreage is very
large. Dunkin s. Huber claim TO
have the largest and best looking field
of wheat in this bend.
Much in the way of improvements
may be noticed. HAYS & Eager, not
satisfied with running day and night.
are putting in the requisite machinery
to double their manufacturing capac-
ity. The boys know how to make a
good grade of flour and to understand
see their mill filed aud stacks of
grain outside.

to enlarge. James Kirby has Just
finished neat and commodious resi-
dence. Mr.. Haughey, who recently
traded for large portion OF the God
dard farm, has, with three sons and

intending TO build new houses.
Miss Moilie Martin will teach at the

For the EAGLE.
Agricultural Society and Peach Blossoms.
KEcHI. April 1st, 1S.


EDITOR EAGLE:-Our abundance
of peach bloom is shedding It's leaves.
Apple bloom is pushing out and the
fears Of damage from frost are fast
giving way before the mild and glori-
GUS weather we are enjoying. Red
clover sowed the first Of March is in
four leaf; barley and oats are begin
ming to green up, and the click of the
corn planter is heard over at neighbor
Steele's. Farmers who have long
maintained it was not necessary to
lop hedges to make them pig-tight.
are looping them, nevertheless, and
other who had no hedges are setting
them out But Notwithstanding the
push we went to town to-day and
heard that our esteemed friend Uncle
Billy Jewett was under arrest in Kan
sas City. Wonder if those kind and
wholesouled railroad men would per-
NIT him to read an Eagle. Send him
one Mr.. Editor, and let him know that
he was to-day unanimously elected
President of our Agricultural Society,
with Uncle Horace Carpenter as his
! second aud an efficient board OF dlfec-
tors ready to rally at his command.
We sincerely believe and fervently
hope that with the present prospects
for crop of fruit, wheat aud every
thing else, that SO far has had time to
make its appearance, with a thousand
new corners in our midst, many OF
them bringing choice stock, and with
the management that the experience
of Uncle Billy and his aids can bring
to bear, we will have fair this com
ing fall, the like of which Southwest
ern Kansas has never seen. We will
endeavor TO display line of farm pro-
ducts the a. T. & 5. +. would like to
have as an advertisement for their Ar
kansas Valley lands. We are reliably
informed that a year or so ago this
company wrote a certain business firm
in Wichita to the effect that they re-
lied upon our samples to sell their
lands on the main line. 1t seems that
a sample man from Wichita is not
quite so desirable.
Yours,
FARMER *.
