Junction City Union: This precipi-
tation places the prospects for wheat

same time last year. It is about three
weeks further advanced; there is a bet
ter stand, and the ground is in perfect

John E. Frost, land commissioner of
the Santa Fe, has received letter from
u. A. Dusenberry, of Barton county,
telling of his remarkable success with
wheat this year. He had 5000 acres

bushels to the acre, and it was sold for
81 cents per bushel. Mr.. Dusenberrv
says it cost him just $2.85 per acre TO
raise the wheat and put it on the mar

per acre, or on the entire acreage a
profit Of S24, $50. M. Gilmore, another
Barton county farmer, reports the
amount of his crop to be 20,600 bushels,
his fields averaging 19a bushels to the
acre.
