NoteN orthy incidents Among The Farmer
of The State.
They are shipping potatoes from Doug
las county into New Mexico.
A man in Ness county has grown 1000
head of cabbage on half an acre of land
Wheat and rye average eleven bush
els to the acre in Coffey county. Oats
turned out about forty bushels.
Manhattan Republic: The farmers are
putting up hay. The crop is good and
thousands of tons will be secured.
Lawrence Herald: The pear crop in
Douglas county this year will be the
largest and finest for several years.
Millet and sorghum are doing we'll.
We hear of seven feet millet in south
ern Kansas, and reports from sorg hum
fields are encouraging.
Dodge City Globe: Come and look at
our corn fields; we estimate the cid at
fifty bushels to the acre on the sod this
year, and w verify believe this will be
a granger country after while.
Independence Kansan: Corn planted
the tenth OF July on the river bottoms
east of this city is now breast high, and
promifes magnificent yield. The far
mers who had faith, kept planting their
fields and don't allow the weeds and
crab grass to get the upper hand, will
none of them fail of their reward.
Independence Tribune: James Cham
berlain leaves us hill Of early corn, al.
most matured enough to cut up, with ears
ten and eleven inches long, and OF splen-
did quality. 1t was grown on up land
and he expects to harvest so bushels per
acre. He has field of corn planted
July 10Th, which promises big yield.
G. NJ. Ralstin has left us some sample
ears of white corn, hard enough to shell
or grind. 1t was planted just one hun
dred and ten days before pulling.
Seneca Tribune: Jay Nichols put in
240 acres of wheat last fall. which he in
forms US will yield an average of four
teen bushels to the acre, making total
of 3, 800 bushels. This with wheat worth
20 cents per bushel would figure out ST.
352. To break the ground, SOW, harvest
and thresh the grain would cost about
81 500, leaving net profit Of 1852 on 240
acres of ground, or about $40 per acre,
which would be about ten per cent. in
terest allowing the land to be worth $50
per acre. 1.-THE wheat should reach 81
per bushel before he sells, the invest.
ment would still be good one even il
the yield was half crop or less.
Newton Republican: A big crop of any.
thing is always the best crop. There
never has been, will be, and never can

wheat or corn, or any staple used as food
for man. The cry of lover deduction
is sometimes raised in the all, but we
never remember to have heard it in the
spring. No farmer ever burned corn in
the winter that did not wish he had i,
back in some shape besides ashes when
spring came. No farmer ever wasted
potatoes or let them rot in the ground
because they want worth nothin'" in
the fall, who did not wish he bad pota
toes to sell before the year rolled round
Even Kansas can not raise too much.
Parsons Palladium: Crops look ex-
ceedingly fine and prospects could not b.
better. Wheat, rye, oats and barley ART
well filed and the yield of each is abun
dant. Corn is all in roasting ear anG
since the earth is perfectly saturated by
q recent rain the crop is matter of Ger
tainty. No field in Hodgman county
late or early, will yield less than fifty
bushels per acre and most fields will q
far beyond it. Potatoes and all vegeta
bles and vines of all kinds have made
more vigorous growth than any We have
ever witnessed elsewhere, touched a,
they seem by q wand of magic an(
CAUSED to spring forth, climbing ant
growing with surprising rapidity, eivin,
cheer and courage to those who put forti
the effort TO plant them.
Miss Bayard once more nreside.
