Charley TalIiaferro bought the
charred timbers which formed the
foundation of the building occupied be-
fore the fire by r. NJ. Woodward. and
hauled them away last week The
wood below the surface was in an ex-
cellent state of preservation and look
ed as though it might have been placed
there but month ago. 1t was all
sawed at mill near the city and some
OF the pieces untouched by fire look as
If fhlU minht ha
saw. But they were placed there con
siderably over twenty years ago. In
1914 Capt. Smith ran sa,OOn in the
building, and Mr.. Taliaferro says i,
was not new then; so its erection dates
before that time. The old landmarks
or Indian days are are about all gone
we are pleased to note that in
many Instances where wheat has been
winter killed farmers are planting the
ground to corn. This we believe is
the most commendable thing to do un.
der the circumstances. If a corn crop
is raised, and indications are very fav-
orable, it will be of more value than a
wheat crop at present prices. If not il
will simply be il case of tail go with
the hide" The forage at least would
bring good prices if the drought con
tinues. Ir the coming season is propi
tious for corn those farmers who do
not utilize their ground VIII be kicking
themselves down into the Strip. There
have been years like the one Just pass
ed in this country in which tho dry
weather continued up until the first of
April; but when it began to rain there
was no stopping to 1t. In those years
our best corn crops were raised. Of
course all signs fail in Kansas, but we
shall plant our garden patch to corn.
