Remarkable Record in Production of
Grain and Vegetables

Leavenworth- Kan, July 27--The fed
eral penitenttary farm Of 100 acres on the
Fort LeaveuWOrth reservation shows
productive record IN grain and vegetables
that is hard to beat Superin tendent
George T Holybee has just completed a
report for this season that will soon be
forwarded to the department Of justice
in Washington by Warden McClaughry,
along with the other prison reports The
work on the farm is all performed by priS-
Oners. and enough vegetables were raised
during the early summer months to sup
ply the tables for the entire 500 conyicts-
Aside from the smaller garden vege-
tables the report shows that n 165-acre
wheat field threshed out 4.532 bushels, OF
little over twenty-seven bushels to the
bushels
There is a. corn field of 222 acres on the
farm. and 1t is estimated that 1t yielded or
will yield over 10. 600 bushels. The exact
amount can not be determined, because
much of it IS taken TO furnish roasting
ears for the 500 prisoners.
There are two cabbage patches, contain
ing ten acres in all and they have on a
stand of 50eo0 weIl-developed heads This
will supply the prison table for the entire
year Four acres of sweet potatoes will
yield 1000 bushels Tomatoes are now
rfpening and 1T Is estimated that six
acre patch Will yield g. 900 bushels A nine
acre onion field is expected to yield 500
bushels. in addition TO the green ones
pulled up for the prison tables In addi-
ton to these large quantities of early po-
tatOes, radiSheS and lettuce and the like
were raised early in the season and the
year has been a very profitable one.

Il see that the postoffice department

the names of postoffices shall be placed

employe of the postoffice department
who was talking with some friends at

means for Identification when stamps
are stolen from any postofiee, and also
to prevent boycotting of postmasters,
a practice in some of the smaller towns
in the country 1t will be possible, IN
der the new rule for the department
to keep accurate account of all stamps

not get a salary but are paid q per cent
of all stamps cancelled by them, and
if a patron wants to boycott the post
master he refuses to mail his letters in
that Office, and mails them on the train
or at another Office. The department
has passed many rulings to stop this
practice but nothing as yet has been
found that would remedy the evil work
ed on the postmaster. I came across
case during my service in the depart
nent, in which the postmaster at one of
the fourth class offices was making
money in spite of the fact that about all
his patrons refused to mail their letters
at his office It came about IN this way:
The office was located near a city, about
ten miles south, and had been doing
business to the extent of about $500
