George Mawson gets away with the

urday he brought us a peck of Early
Rose that are very large, smooth and
finely favored. He says his crop is
unusually large, and that nearly all are
large and smooth. They were raised
two miles west Of town from thick
Feelings.
We have never seen such bOuntItul
crops Of peaches, plums and apricots
as the trees have borne this year. r.
NJ. Sparks little peach orchard is a
sight worth seeing. The ground is COW
cred with peaches, though hogs are
running in the premises, and the trees
are now loaded with enough fruit for
three crops, though many bushels have
been gathered.

Medicine Lodge, probably out of honor
to Jerry Simpson This is all we know
about the location. 1t is reasonable
that the station should be here, as the
government has an experimental farm
and al experimental sugar factory
Mere. When the government wants rain
on its farm, let it make the trial. The
farm has not needed any rain this year
There Is a sure thing now on Kansas
producing corn crop. The early corn
is made, hot wind or no hot wind. There
is enough moisture In the ground to put
the later corn in tOlerable safe cOndl
tion, even if we have no more rain
But there are thousands of acres OF
corn in the county that will need two
or three good rains. This corn has beer
planted since the wheat was cut, and i:
now about two feet high. The indica
tions are that the rainy season will stay
with US all summer; there is no chance
for hot wind this season.; and Kansas
will loom up this fall with the largest
corn crop she has ever produced. Il
will be the largest acreage and the larg
est yield per acre.
