Theodore kropp,
We had the pleasure of visiting at
w. II. Beck's this week and surprised to
find one of the best fruit farms we have
ever seen. Mr.. Beck has demonstrated
that all kinds of fruit can be successfully y
raj sed in this country. He has apples
pears, peaches, cherries, pluns, apricots,
prunes, gooseberries, blackberries. rasp-
berries, huckleberries and grapes, all
bearing heavily. He has several hun
dred peach trees heavily loaded, and
cherry trees red with fruit. Mr.. Beck
saws he sold cherries from two trees for
over So, and didn't sell all of them either.
There is no reason why this country
could not produce enough fruit to supply
the demand if the farmers would use the
same energy as Mr.. Beck does.

Not Drying Up.

A writer in the Topeka Capital gives
some pertinent points on Kansas things,
and we make the following extract con
cerning the drying up of streams:
The drying of streams early in the
summer that formerly had water all the
year has caused much wonder and grow
ing belief that Kansas is getting dryer,
but such is not the fact. The average rain
been in the past and probably always
will be i'll the future, but the heavy
growth of prairie grass that formerly
covered the state retarded evaporation by
shielding the moisture from the sun and
wind. When the rain fell the snow
melted the water soaked into the Garth
and slowly found its way to the streams
the grass was our forests, it shielded the
water from rapid evaporation and every
root was dam that prevented the water
from running rapidly over the ground
Anyone who can member the luxuriant
growth of prairie grass yard high, and
so thick it was tiresome to walk through,
that plenty in Kansas in the early
days, can readily understand this fact,
but we have plowed our grass under, have
burned it to death and trampled il to
death with overlooking by stock and
have treated it like nOxious serpent,
and our old friend and ally is dead in the
greater portion of his ancient empire
and that which is left has deteriorated
that it now requires three acres of grass
to feed beef steer through the pasture
season, where formerly one acre was suf-
ficient. and no substitute can be found to
take his place, for no cultivated grass can
be made to live perman nently i'm Kansas
without irrigation The waters of the
storms rush madly over the bare slopes
of the prairies- the streams become rapid
ly swollen to f1ood-like proportions, and
almost as rapidly sink to puny diInen-
sions, and in a few weeks the beds
dry aud dusty, while the blazing sun and
drying winds rapidly absorb the moist
ure from the exposed fields. Twenty
five years ago cyclones were practically
unknown in Kansas and they are yet west
OF the one h1ndredth meridian of longi-
tude where the ground is principally
covered with grass.
