FIVE times as much as the land

the sum total showing a rather
good revenue from a 5000 invest
ment. Don't you think this
young negro is In a fair way to:
wards solving the race problem,

concerned?
ssRelative to the production of
corn on these hill lands, | would
merely suggest that any one IN
terested write to Mr.. Charles A.
Swearington, Keachie posto6ice.
and ask him how he ayered 96
bushels of Mexican Jnne corn
planted the 18th of June, after
the oat crop had been harvest ed.
"The question has been pro-
pounded: Can city or western
folk engage in cotton growing
and make a success? The land
ON which the negro, Alfred Book
er, is tenant, was bought by a
man who was reared in New Or
leans who never saw q cotton
stalk until he entered the army,
and who never handled q pillow
other than to sell it, until after
he was 80 years of age; who was
as poor as Jobs turkey, and be-
gan farm life the only farm la
borer on the place. Don't you
think if he could grow cotton
successfully almost any one could
do so?
"In connection with the grow
ing of cotton, what's to hinder
the farmer from doing
winter dairying; the
raising of ca tile and sheep, hog
and poultry, and a limited nnm
Der of horses and mules?
Sin conclusion let me predict
that when Mr.. Whitney, chief of
the soil survey of the department
of agriculture, Washington, sends
his experts to the hills of north
and northwest Louisiana, they
will find thousands ofacres of land
susceptible to the growing of the
finest varieties Of tobacco. The
experiments made show that
when one knows how $500 reve-
nue. can be produced from q
single acre of Louisiana tobacco
in the territory mentioned, he will
realize that this is not an unusual
return, and that land that can
produce this value is worth

i
Farland, KAN, and sacks Station.
At / o'clock the other night six mask
ed men, heavily armed, appeared at the
Rock Island station in Mcfarland, Kan,
and started to enter through the office
door. Conductor Monnehan of freight
train, which had just pulled in, and Night
Baggageman Charles Toler saw them
and hurriedly attempted to block the
door, but the robbers forced an entrance
and after taking their money and
watches, beat the railroad men into in
sem Utility. The bandits then ri1ed the
station of its contents and, going hur-
riedly to the eating house, held up and
took all the valuab les from half dozen
men on the platform employed at the
roundhouse and part of the train crew.
Passengers at the lunch counter scurried
upstairs and blocked the entrance eff
fectively. The bandits then looted the
eating house cash register and sideboard,
doing their work after the fashion OF
veterans. Then, apparently as joke,
they marched and carried six of the Rock
Island employees, including the night
hostler and Baggageman Toler, to re-
frigerator car and placed them in, and
then disappeared in an casterly dlrec-
ton. During the thirty minutes of their
presence not shot was fired and only

TO CUT ANTHRACITE OUTPUT.
Reading Acts Following Reduction in
Price by Come Producers.

Having produced 4O,O0O,000 tons OF
anthracite coal since Jan. l, that being
10000, 900 tons above the normal output
for that period, the operators, headed by
the Philadelphia and Reading Company,
have begun to restrict the output. Orders
have been issued for the closing OF all
washeres of the Reading Company pro-
ducing pea and smaller sizes. There are
now on hand 100000 tons of small
steam coal, for which there appears to be
no market. Some producers began to cut
the price to get rid of the accumulated
products. This led the Reading to imme-
dately take steps to greatly decrease the
output.
