The truth is that the origin of racing

features in the games of the stadium

Then there are families of Rus
SLAMS all the time coming from
eastern Europe to join the large
colonies in the wheat lands of the
centcral western part of this state
(Kansas). That section is count
ing on the pest wheat crop, the
profit will be large. The real
estate men report that the price
of lands has doubled i'll the past
two years, and thcre is much con-
fdence in the future. ......
"The Russians are in effect
gaining a monopoly of the wheat
land in Ellis and Trego counties,
and curious system of land sales
has sprung up as result of their
prediction. for wheat raising.
The price of the land is figured in
bushels of wheat instead of dol
lars. A man wishing to buy
piece of land agrees to give, for
instance, 5000 BUSHELS for it. He
agrees to SOW a given number of
acres of land purchase to wheat
and deliver one-half of the crop to
the seller. Ho account of the
value of the wheat is taken. No
interest is charged, the seller
simply being sure of half Of the
wheat each year. If wheat is
high and the yield good, he makes
a fine thing; if it is failure and
low prices prevail, he may be out
of pocket. Sometimes the land is
paid for in one seuson; some times
it may take a decade to get the
land clear. Thousands of acres
lave been sold under this system
during the past two years, and it
seems to be the favorite plan for
the Russians. They are willing
to take chances on the somewhat
doubtful climate of western Kan
sas for they can thrive OH that
which means starvation to the
average American family. The
fact that they have prospered dur
ing the last decade proves that
they can stand any kind of sea-
son.
