Since eastern farmers have began to
realize that wheat raising in western
Kansas is more certain of big returns
than any other part of the United States,
there has been an increasing tendency
on their part to want to trade eastern
farms for lands in western Kansas.
While there is plenty of land for sale in
western Kansas, by parties who are not
practical farmers, very few are willing
to trade their Kansas possessions for
soil in any other state. Occasionally
a deal of that kind is made however. We
note in the Santa Fee Monitor the follow
ing particulars of transfer of lands
still west of Dodge City for Iowa lands
and horses. The Kansas land will be
seeded 10 wheat:
J. F. Kern made deal while in Iowa
lately whereby large body of Haskell
county land was transferred to D. c..
Mcfarland. Of Winthrope, Iowa. Mr..
Mcfarland gets 1850 acres of land in
this county and 800 in Gray county for
which he gave $40 acres of land in SOUTH
western Iowa, 102 head of horses and
feed enough to winter them. Mr.. NJ,
will probably have all the ground in
suitable condition on his new purchase
put in wheat this fall and expects to have
a thousand acres of sod broke for wheat
next year. Before closing the deal Mr..
Mcfarland came out and looked at our
country and was very favorably impress
ed. After while if he remains of the
same opinion he will move out here.

lights.

are in themselves good evenings en-

sential features in an operetta, have re-

this entertainment to be proud of by
all who have anything 10 do with its pro-
duction.
We have been informed that nearly
all theater companies have cancelled
their engagements at this place, and as
a result our people will have to depend
largely on their own resources for
amusements. In view of this fact full
