STOCK AND FARM.

+, Cedar Vale Star: The Meegan boys
have finished blowing for wheat. They
have 200 acres ready. Dry weather
didn't stop them.
jamestown New Era: F. G. Henrik.
son, Of Kackley, brought in q sample
of broom corn from his thirty acre field,
which he had Just finished scraping.
Mr.. Henrikson sold his crop for $75 a
ton, which will net him about 1926.
Kansas City, Mo-, Journal: The man
who says that western Kansas is not a
good country should step down to the
stock yards and see the fine specimens
of cattle brought in from beyond Dodge
City. Finer ones cannot be produced
, from anywhere.
Fred Wellhouse. one of the heaviest
fruit growers in the state, says his ap-
pie crop will be nothing this year to
what it was last season. 81 made money
on my crop last year." he continued,
but this year I will make nothing. The
apple crop throughout the state will
not be good. There are plenty of ap-
pies, but the quality is not frst-class."
Burlington Republican: The apple
crop in this county is the finest that
has been raised for many years. First
class cooking apples are being sold
from house to house for 5 cents peck,
and hundreds of bushels that would
some years be worth dollar or dollar
and half for shipping are now being
sold at the mill and made into cider
that sells for 10 cents per gallon.
Osborne Farmer: C. M. Cunning
hams wheat that was pastured into the
ground last winter turned out thirty
one and one-half bushels per acre. He
also got sixty bushels of oats per acre
ON ground that had not had q plow in
it for ten years. This was the tenth
consecutive crop of oats. He thinks he
would have had eighty bushels per acre
only for its having been lodged badly.
Oxford Mocking Bird: Ike Gardiner
has been in the country for few days
overseeing the threshing on his farm
south of town. He informs us that
Billy Moore threshed 1880 bushels of
bound wheat in twelve hours, which is
considered extra good work in bound
grain. Mr.. GARDENERS 160 acres made
$3.50 bushels, or an average of 20s
bushels per acre, and about half of it
was hard wheat.
Richfeld Monitor Republican: Quite
a number of fields of good corn can be
seen in this county, which is something
unusual. It has been the opinion of
our farmers that corn could not be
raised in this county, owing to our alti-
tude, but it has been demonstrated be-
You'd question that with good seasons
it can be proftably grown. Without
more than half sufficient rainfall, there
are several fields of corn that will aver.
age thirty. five to forty bushels to the
acre, and with plenty OF rain there is no
reason why fifty and sixty bushels per
acre cannot be grown.
Topeka Capital: Asagood deal of in
terest has been manifested as to the
breeding of the yearliog Ally, Mary,
that won the 81 900 stake at the state
fair, it is pleasant to learn that Mary,
her sire, dam. and paternal grand dam
were all bred in this county, and the
sire of her dam, although bred by one
of our breeders in Orange county, New
York, was raised here also. This is said
to have been the hardest contested race
FOR yearlings on record, and among its
nine starters the only two Kansas colts
that we're able to ssay and trot the last
heat we're both grand descendants OF
Robert McGregor. The other colt that
also finished in the race belongs in Ne
brasks, and is sired by . con OF Lord
Russell, brother to Maud T., 2:08a.
Mary traces five times to Rysdyk's
Hambletonion, three times to Seeley's
American Star, and is, - can be seen.
