over production is what is hurting the
farmers. He says:
"W hen she hen is disposed TO do her
level best in the way OF fruit the prices
drop To a low point, and were all the gold
and silver ever mined dumped into Seslc-
wick county eggs would be cheap at GER
tain seasons. mpiy because more are pre-
duced than are required for current psei
but about New Year, when the hard
worked hen takes her annual vacation, the
price goes up (gnd the money is found
everywhere 10 pay for them simply be-
cause there are not quite enough eggs 10
go around"
How would an under production help
us? Nir. Davis says it would, because il
would increase the price of eggs.
Let me ask. would IL not be better for
the farmer to have an oyerproduction Of
of eggs, ana have some 10 sell at even -
cents per dozen than not To have enough
and have TO buy at - cents per dozen.
The fact is, there can be no harm IN y
single nation being an overproducer,
among nations, any more than there can
be any harm III single farmer, among,
many, of having too much gram 10 sell.
The trouble is, producing his crops
costs the farmer too much. Let every

"LET Us CALL ARAIT"

From the Wellington Mail.
All this foolish and absurd talk about
the opening Of the Cherokee strip in
June is very detrimental to Kansas. 1t
creates an impression abroad that is not
to the best interest of this state and it
should be stopped and stopped at once,
too. There are lots of eastern people
who are desiring to locate in the great
southwest, and many of them would be
packing up and immigrating bv this
time, had il not been for these sensation
al and groundless rumors in reference to
the opening of the strip in June. Since
those rumOrs haye gained CURRENCY
abroad, these intending Immigrants have
paused and are asking themselves the
question ''why should we go to Kansas
III March and pay from ten 10 fifteen and
maybe twenty-five dollars per acre for
land while we can get land admittedly
as good in the Cherokee strip in June
simply for the taking Of il: Can't we
afford to wait three months longer
and save few thousand dol
are very pertinent and common sense
questions to put TO ones self, and we
would ask similar Cnes under similar cir
cumstanceS If we were in their places
We must call a halt. and the sooner we
do it the better ii will be for us.
We must publish the truth about the
Cherokee strip. Does
anybody who knows the condition the
strip is IN suppose for one moment that
if the government had any idea of open
ing the strip IN June, that the president
would extend the order OF Secretary No
ble in reference to the eiectment of the
cattiemen from June 10 October: Be
sides, the Indians must be negotiated
with, and every body who has anv pre-
tensions OF knowledge relating TO Chero-
kee affairs, must admit that the Chero-
kee nation is IN no humoF now. nor will
they be for few years at least, 10 make
any dicker with Uncle Sam by which
the strip may come into possession of
the government.
1t GrIeveS us 10 see the Inconsistencies
Of some of our contemporaries with ref
erence 10 this matter. On one page Of
all the little one-horse papers along the
border, and papers in the interior, too.
you can see headlines similar TO these
every dav: 'Come TO Kansas and get a
home. Splendid land can be had at from
$40 to $25 per acre, ETC., while on an
other page you can see Come TO Boom
erville, the gateway to the Cherokee
strip, which will be opened 10 settle
ment in few months. and where every
body can get a quarter section of the
finest land under heaven for the taking
of 1t, etc. WhaU will an eastern farmer
who contemplates immigrating to Kan
sas say when he reads these glaring and
glaringly inconsistent headlines: He
will simply get disguised with Us. hug
the stove little closer and commence TO
re-educate himself in the belief that his
barren New England hill-sides are good
enough for him. The result viii be that
Kansas will, by the folly Of her fool ed
itors ana still foolIer town boomers.
lose good citizen and 4 good farmer.
Ii Kansas newspapers desire to see a
stream of good profitable immigration
flow into Kansas this year. they must
quit fooiing the people by saying the
Cherokee strip viii be opened il June.
