STOCK AND FARM

records at Washington will soon settl
the matter in one way or another.
STOCK AND FARM
The Oxford Mocking Bird states tina
some Of the late fields OF corn will maxi
more corn than the farmers had any
idea they would
La Crosse Chieftain: The ruin O
the Ness City sugar mill is complete
A high wind on Monday night blew
the standing walls over onto the en-
CINE house. destroying all the fire hac
left.
Troy Times: There are a great many
fields Of corn in this county that viii
average forty to fifty bushels per acre
wheat has turned out far better thar
was expected, and our fruit crop is i'm.
mense.
Jewell City Republican: The corn
prospects in jewell county are one-hali
better then they we're two weeks ago.
In some fields, though. the tassel was
dead before the ear came out The re-
suit in such cases is fine large cob,
with here and there kernel of corn.
Manhattan Industrialist: Eighty
five varieties Of oats were grown thus
season on the college farm, Of which
both the earlier and later kinds were
partial failures. The medium sorts
made fair crop. As means of COM
parisOn OF varieties the experiments
have been successful.

Tuckett, the distinguished heavy horse
breeder and importer has just returned
from flying visit to Dallas and south.
eastern Texas, where he has Just con-
summated a trade OF 100000 feet Of
lumber. All of that timber goes into
buildings necessary on his farms.
Arkansas City Traveller: The Arkan-
sas City cattle company cold 900 head
OF cattle last week. The manager,
Captain Burt, says the cattlemen are
making all possible efforts to get their
cattle from the strip ON time. Some of
them would not be able to do it. Tom
Hill had three gangs of men assisting
him, and still he would not be able to
get his cattle on the market.
Concordia Daylight: About all the
young cattle are now cleaned out of
northwestern Kansas. For the past two
months, the Central Branch has hauled
on an average $50 cars of steers per
week to the Big Muddy, and it is safe
to presume other roads have secured
an equal portion Of shipments. This
means that $4,000 head of steers will
be wanted to faten upon next years
crop.
Concordia Empire: T. J. Shaw left
at our Office a bottle full of Turkey Red
wheat as specimen of 1000 bushels he
has as the product of seventy acres.
The grains are plump and perfect. He
pastured his wheat until late, and his
neighbors assured him that he would
have no crop. The Turkey Red wheat
seems to be the kind for this country,
and the people are learning that wheat
must be one of the staple crops OF
Cloud county. The chinch bug prob
lem seems to be solved by the
discovery Of the chinch bug cholera,
that soon clears field of these
pests.

line, in Grant county, tbrashed 157 |
bushels of wheat and 37l bushels

wheat averaged little over six bushels

jamestown Kansan: The alfalfa seed /
crop of this vicinity will cut quite q
figure in the resources OF the farmers
who are lucky enough to have fields Of

with strange disease OF the eve. After
suffering from the affection for few
