Enemies of Kansas.

Abilene grain dealers are daily in re =
ceipt Of letters from eastern and south
ern buyers asking about the condition
of the growing crops and stating that
adviceS received from certain quarters,
are to the effect that the prospects are
very gloomy for all kinds of cereals and
that the wheat is almost worthless.
'HOw such reports could have been
circulated" said we'll known grain
man today to a REFLECTOR repOr-
ter, sis more than l can understand,
unless it is by some of the enemies of
the state, for in close observation of
a personal nature the prospects for this
section l can truthfully say have not
been 50 favorable for many years. A
larger acreage of wheat has been sown
than for many seasons and the yield
will be large, while the quality is
far superior to that of several years past.
Corn is promising well and will be
more than an average crop, while the
oat crop will be 80 per cent. better than
last year" This is the true condition
of the crops in this section, and why
any person or persons should circulate
false and misleading statements re-
gatding the crop outlook is certainly
difficult of solution by any true friend
of Kansas

FIGURES THAT LIE.
Mistakes Made by the Alliance in
Not Giving Statistics.

In the assessors rolls as returned to
the clerk of Dickinson county there are
several endorsements to the effect that
the assessors found it in some cases
very difficult to obtain the desired facts
and figures regarding the amount of
grain raised by the farmers. This was
on account of the instructions laid
down by the alliance leaders that sta
tistics should not be made public.
Secretary MOhler finds the same con-
ditiOn to exist throughout the state and
has issued long letter endeavoring TO
show why this policy is suicidal one
for the farmers. There can be no deny
ing the fact that it is of no possible
benefit.
To the farmer who is growing wheat
it is matter of much interest to know
what the wheat supply of the world is,
and on this knowledge only can he base
an intelligent opinion in reference to
the future price of wheat. On crop
statistics, therefore, the farmer depends
for that intelligence which is necessary
to the most successful prosecution of
his business, and every farmer in Kan
sas for the benefit of his brother farm
ers in other states, and for the beBefit
of the brotherhood of farmers generally
throughout the world should make a
truthful and accurate report of his
farm operations and thus contribute
his quota of information to the general
fund of knowledge which is of so much
value to farmers generally. The farm
ers of other states and countries do
ing the same thing, the Kansas farmer
gets back the investment lin time and
treuble) with 100 per cent. or more in
dividends.
As to the argument that stock gam
bling is made more difficult the farmers
should remember that while the grain
SPECTATORS will have and do have this
information in spite of everything, the
argument of the farmers as stated for
refusing to give statistics to the asses
sors has no force whatever. This, how
ever, being the fact, that spectators
will have this information anyhow, is
strong reason why farmers should
have means of securing it themselves.
Otherwise, spectators would be in the
light and the farmers in the dark. In
business light is always to be preferred
to darkness intelligence to ignorance.
When farmers think more about this
matter they will understand it better;
and it will not be long until all our
farmers will not only willingly but
cheerfully give to the assessors the
fullest information possible in regard
to their farm operations.

The latter is now dehOrning himself

"A embarrassing machine has
been invented by w. NJ. Orcutt, of this
place, and we understand will be put
on the market soon. 1t consists Of a
platform on wheels, two projecting
knives, reels to force the stalks against
the cutters and levers to push off the
bundles when enough has been gath
cred. Two rows are cut at once and
as the plan seems very simple there is
every indication of a successful bust
ness being done in the manufacture of
the machines.

Mr.. II. w. Kandt has served the people
of this commissioner district and as he
declines to be considered in the field
| for reelection it is about time that
our people were casting around for a
man to succeed him this fall. Mr..
Kandt's work has been entirely accept
able, but it is an Office where a man
gets more kicks than praises and he is
willing for some one else to try it. -
[Herington Times.
Mr.. Kandt has made a model COM
missioner and we are sure that the peo-
pie of the First district will much re-
greet his decision not to be again a
candidate. The services of a man like
Mr. Kandt are not to be lightly dis
pensed with and a hearty admiration
for his qualifications are likely to in
spire lasting regard which calls him
again into the peoples services. We
believe that Mr.. Kandt has performed
his duties so as to receive more praises
than kicks.

State Swine Breeders, Meeting.

The next called meeting of the Kan
sas Swine Breeders association will be
held at Abilene, July 1890, 1890. E.
K. Morris and Hon. S. NJ. Sheppard, OF
Indianapolis, Ind, have been invited
to attend. DR.. Billings, of Chicago,
has promised to be present. There
will be plenty of subjects for scoring
purposes of four or five different
breeds. Everything points to very
large attendance at this meeting and
it will undoubtedly be the most inter
esting by far yet held. Rates of one
and one-third fair on all railroads have
been secured if 100 are in attendance.
A letter to F. V. Close from the secre-
tary of the association says, 81 think
the Abilene meeting will far exceed
any other meeting yet held in men,
bers and enthusiasm" The local
stockmen will have meeting to make
final arran gements in few days.

Base Ball Club Disbanded.

The Abilene base ball club has been
disbanded for the present. Mr.. J. H.
Neisley, the captain of the team,
leaves for a months vacation in the
east Wednesday, and other members
will not be in the city for the next
few weeks. Possibly about the middle
of next month reorganization will
take place and several games be played,
The suits and other paraphernalia
have been securely stored and will be
ready at any time for use.
Mr.. Sommers, who has been the
twirler for Abilene, has been released.
He is No. l player and has given
good satisfaction.
While it is regretted that the club
could not continue through the season
it is undoubtedly The better course
under existing circumstances to dis
band for the time being.
