While we do not recommend it as
regular thing to follow, we quote the
following to show what has been done:
One farmer near Victoria, Kansas, drilled
40 acres in corn stalks, without blowing
or narrowing. His yield was 40 bushels
per acre. Sold the wheat at IS cents per
bushel, or $500 per acre, or 1928 for a
crop that cost him $50 for seed, four
days to drill, two days to cut with head
err and two days to thresh. Fortunes are
in store for Ellis county farmers. A
farmer here with three good horses can
raise in ordinary seasons from 120 to $50
acres of wheat, while a farmer in the
East with the same stock could not SOW
more than 80 to 40 ecres.-Hays RefH6-

Emery Cass called last Saturday,
paid up old scores and set his spbscrip-
ton ahead. Mr.. Cass is one of our most
progressive farmers and is entitled to a
place in our "Roll of Honor" having To-
Gated in Trego county on May %, 1878.
Our time was so fully occupied that we
could not interview him in regard to
early times, but we know he has made a
success and is well satisfied to remain
here. He has only sown wheat once
since coming to this county, devoting his
attention almost exclusively to stock
raising. At present he has $50 head of
cattle and 10 head of horses, having re-
Gently made shipment of cattle.

Fair officials:
''We are still kicking at the condition of

us TO breathe. In fact. many of our people
now are beginning to complain Of sore
Threats and heavy colds, and several l have

vigoI Gus kicks and have complained so
heavily-nOt only for our own sakes, but
for the sake of the representatives of other
parts of the State-that l am confident
when the commission meets, if it ever does,
l will be reported for INSTRUMENTATION and
general cuSsedness. l wish that Mr.. Rose
were here. l think he would not submit
minute to the imposition that is being i'm
posed upon the people of this State. /
think that this feature should be carried on
like any other business and the owner in
charge held responsible. Every locality
here is ut heavy expense, keeping their
people waiting for an opportunity to begin
operations on space allotted to them and
which cannot be used in consequence of a
leak overhead or pile of dirt on the floor
which cannot be moved without the consent

DID BURNS FIRE TIE SHOT ?
Damaging Testimony of Convict
George Bullock Against Him.


SANTA CRUZ, April 25.-George Bullock,
who was some time ago convicted of the
murder Of Charles G. Walker in the house
of Mrs. Amanda Monks on Ben Lomond,
this county, and who has served two months
of life sentence for that crime, was today
brought here from San Quentin to testify
against James Burns, also accused of the
same crime and undergoing preliminary ex-
animation in Justice CralghilPs court.
Bulock's testimony was damaging in the
extreme. lie testified positively that
Burns and he BulIoek) took Warren Joss
lyn's rife aud went to the house of Mrs.
Monks, both being intoxicated; that when
they got to the house they could see
Walker through The window, playing cards
with Mrs. Monks; thai the two men stood
outside the fence, near the bars, and Burns,
who carried the rifle, rested it on witness
shoulder and fired through the window at
Walker, and that they then went back to
Burns cabin by the same way they had
come.
Warren Josslyn. owner of the rife testl-
fed that on the night of the shooting he sent
two boys to Burns cabin to get the rife.
which Burns had borrowed; that both the
men and the rife were gone.
The examination was held with closed
doors, but the above account was given by
The presiding Justice. Burns was held to
answer in the Superior Court Consider
able sympathy is manifested for him by old
neighbors on the mountain, who have
known him twenty years. Counsel for the
defendant Messrs. Jeter and Josslyn,
asked that Burns be released on bail, and
Justice CraiEhill has it under Amusement
till tomorrow.
