There are many reasons for thinking
that Kansas has Just entered upon an
other year of great agricultural pros.
perity. 1t is true that the wheat crop
will be a light one; but the quality of
the grain, unless rust shall strike the
growing crop, Will be the very best,
and the yield We strongly suspect will
be much above the estimates. For
once, the first time in the history of the
State, the estimates Of the yield of
wheat in Kansas have been placed by
the authorities low enough, perhaps too
low. But, however short the wheat
may be, the State will be none the
looscr; there will be enough of corn,
hay and hogs and cattle feed, to much
more than make up the deficiency of the
wheat crop. Should these expecta-
tons be realized, all eyes will be upon
Kansas, and the State as never before
will be the center of the hopes and as
pirations of that great multitude living
in the crowded east, who hope to till
land of their own. 1t seems to US that
the Kansas man who owns good farm
should put up the price any where from
ten to twenty FIVE dollars, and then hold
it firmly for a rise.-Prof. Shelton.

The Topeka Commonwealth of June

person in odge City and signed Tan
Gus. in which the details of postoffice
robbery in the moral city are given and
among other things the article contains
is a very strong reflection against
klaine the postmaster and editor of the
Times, intimating that he was a party
to the robbery. The reader is warned
by the newspaper publisher that he is
not bound to believe the statements
contained in the letter. The handiwork
Of the Rev. Bat Masterson is apparent
in the letter. Klaine has our profound
sympathy. He is surrounded by a
terrible hard gang and while he holds
his own with them pretty we'll, they
are always after him.-kinsley Mer-
