During the last fur years nore
attention has been paid TO the cuIti-
vation of vegetables and fruit. ard
the result has been SO satisfactory
that there appears a great disposition
to largely develop this branch of
Industry. The cultivation of Irish
potatoes is draw ing attention as ,woI

December and February and mature
in May ard June and plant again mi
June and July for fall crop. Early
vegetables are shipped from an ad-
joining county to this to the ner-
thern markets and the producers re.
alize from $50 to 100 per acre. Wild
fruits in abundance straw berries,
black berries by the million, grapes
perslmmons and many others.
COTTON AND CORN.
The great error OF the people OF this
county is they raise too much corn nj d
cotton. Cot on was at one time king

THE AFTER MATh.

The big reunion of 1891 is over.
And il was big one. Never before
in the history of Baxter Springs, or
any other town in the West. Tor that
matter, did such big crowd
gather. The estimate OF MiN0 for
Thursday, was none too big. The
woods. streets and alleys were full
of people. wagons and teams.
Strange To say, il il true. hit in
all the big reunions held here no
lives have been lost; neither has
any one been seriously hurt. Good
order prevailed during the entirc
week this year. and nothing octu
red Ia mar the pleasure of the oc-
casion. The tough element. what
little there WAS of il. congregatcd
up town and kept away from the
grounds where the old soldiers
gathered. BootleggcrS were scarce,
but few fights occurred, ard save n
little petty thicving. everything
went off in fine shape.
The pump at Camp Logan, how
ever, is not nearly large enough To
supply such big crowds with
water. We understand a larger on,
