Joseph SizelOve, a successful farmer,
and one of the wheel horses of the re-
publican party in Richland township, is

to the stacks in fine shape.

The new Rock Island agent, sent to
take the place of Judge Moftitt, has
arrived and been duly installed in the
duties of his Office. His name is +. c.
Smith, from Partridge. He has every
appearance of one who will be a desir-
able addition to our community. His
family will occupy the George Conrad
dwelling. about block west of the Third
ward school house.
We are informed that our occasional
mention of the Sunfiower Club is dis
pleasing to the mayor. We desire to as
sure his excellency that all meetings
which we have reported so far were
held outside the limits of Dodge City
and do not come under his jurisdiction. |
1t is therefore no reflection upon the |
ability of the mayor to properly attend |
to such matters.
Last week we made mistake in say
ing Al Warren was arrested along with |
Mellon. 1t should have been Al Olive. !
While on this subject we will say that
Al Warren is one of the sober. industri- |
GUS young men of this community who are
a credit to themselves and their friends. |
He was never arrested and is not likely |
to be. He is clerking in J. NJ. Bells
grocery store, where he always attends |
strictly to business and is a valuable |
assistant to Mr.. Bell.
Farmers should be in no rush about |
sowing wheat. There is much danger
attended early sowing when there is as
little moisture in the soil us now. Unless |
there is enough rainfall to keep the plant
alive till freezing weather, there will lie
no stand in the spring. Some of The
heaviest crops grown here have been
sOwn as late as February. 1t has been
that November and De-
cember are safe months for seeding when |
the ground is as dry as it is this fall
= Archie keech was in the city last |
Tuesday with load of alfalfa seed. |
Archie is seeding sand bars along in the |
bed of the Arkansas river to alfalfa. He |
reports one bar comprising about ten
acres sowed in August, which shows a |
good stand and is starting rapidly. Now
about second or third leaf. Mr.. Keech |
turns his attention mostly to raising
hogs, though bunch of fat steers 90 on |
the market occasionally and replenish his |
He does not want any strip. |
The way c. S. Dixon raises such fine |
potatoes is by mulching. He puts the |
straw on about four inches deep any
time after planting until just after they |
come up. One patch was partly mulched |
just before they came up and part after
wards without any perceptible difference |
in quality or amount of yield. His mulch
ed potatoes were of the early Ohio |
variety from seed raised in Ford county. |
The tubers are good size, very smooth
and of perfect shape, just like the ideal
picture in illustrated seed catalogues.
D. F. Moffitt and w. T. Watson left |
for the Strip Tuesday. Mr.. Moffi,t goes
direct to the new town of Enid. where
he has been transferred as agent of the
