-Jessee Williams folks got through
harvesting last week. They had in
about sixty five acres. and will have about
IL 900 bushels of Red Russian wheat OF
extra quality for milling purposes. They
have thirty-two acres of corn on which
the ears are forming, and gives every
promise Of splendid yield. This farm is
on smooth upland prairie.
F.. NJ. Cruise, who lives ten or fifteen
miles southwest of the city on the highest
table land, WAS in town yesterday. He
has forty acres of corn, much of which il
over six feet high. 1t is III the silk and
promises to be a heavy yield. His bar
ley will 20 over forty bushels to the
acre. and oats about fifty bushels to the
acre.
Too late for the mention it deserves
In this issue, comes the report that an
embezzler from Denver was turned loose
yesterday BY the authorities In this city
with about two thousand dollars of bis
employers money on his person. Such
work as this will soon bring upon Dodge
City an unsavOry reputation on the out
side. and the officer or officers to blame
should be promptly retired to private
life,
Our people who failed to attend the
lecture by Rev. s. f. Busser last Friday
evening missed one of the most entertain.
ing and instructive lectures one often
has an opportunity of hearing. The sub
ject, the '.HOmes of America" gave a
wide field for thought and was handled
in an able manner, giving history OF
the development of man AS shown by
his home, and showing the relation thai
existed between the character of nation
and the homes of its people. 1t is moi
often that "a discourse is at once 80
erudite and entertaining rs was that OF
Mr.. Busser, and it would have been t.
the advantage of even the homes of OUT
old bachelors had they all attended.
Marion Brown. of Wilburn, dropped
in yesterday. He said they would finish
harvesting next week, and the only COM
plant is lack of men to harvest the i'm.
mense crop of small grain, principally
wheat. He has been here eighteen
years and says this season is the best he
ever saw. Last winter he traded twO4
year-old colt for patch of rye and some
wheat. He will have over 800 bushels OF
wheat. and more than 200 bushels of rye
for the colt. Mr.. Brown says there Is
less talk of new party in that part Of
the county than ever before. The farm
ers of Wilbur can't see where the Re-
publican party of Ford county have sat
down on them very hard since the agri-
cultural gentlemen have had undisputed
sway over the machine the past two
years.
George GarretsOn has a method OF
irrigating alfalfa that we think is a little
superior to that followed by other farm
ers. and thereby secures one additional
crop more than the average. He has al
ready cut his second crop of alfalfa, and
has no doubt but what he will cut five
crops this season. His plan is to irrigate
the ground well a few days before he be.
gins cutting, and apparently the grass
never stops growing. 1t requires little
longer time to cure the hay after it is
cut. but that makes no particular differ
ence so long as the othor crop is coming
