way accepted, and what he saw and
heard seem to him to be worth telling

Thirty-fve years ago boy who was
herding cattle and exercising horses
up around Carlyle, found himself fre-
quently in places where there was
nothing to be seen but green grass
and blue sky, which came together out
at the edge of the world. And it does
the man who was that boy good once
in awhile to get out where he can see
those things over again. So the scene-
ry around Kinsley, that is to say the
green earth and the blue sky, looked
good to eyes that had been humping
up against trees or hills or houses for
so long. Only it isn't green grass
any more around Kinsley. 1t is wheat.
A perfect sea of it. We drove out a
mile or so out of town to look at the
country with our friend Lawyer Beez-
ly. 'There is really no use going any
farther" he said. "It looks like this
all the way to Manitoba. and on the
other side of town it looks like this
all the way to the Rocky mountains"
1t doesn't take long to show visitor
that kind of country. But it is not
strictly true to say that one sees moth
ing but earth and sky. Trailing down
from the west and crawling off toward
the northeast there is sinuous snake
like line of cottonwood, marking the
course of the Arkansas river. Thirty
years ago the river was there,-some-
times,-as it is now. But the trees
are recent growth. They have come
since the white man put a stop TO the
fires shat used to sweep across these
plains every spring and fall. There
is really quite body of this timber,
and the settlers think that it, and the
groves and orchards they have plant
ed, are responsible for the improve
ment in their seasons. They don't
claim that any more rain falls than
used to, but they insist that it is bet
ter distributed, so that it does more
good. One thing is certain: Whatev
err rain falls on this country does its
very best, for it never runs off. Every
drop stays where it lights, for there

And what crops of wheat they do
raise! Mr.. Beezly told US he has
seen forty-five hundred dollars worth
of wheat raised on fifteen hundred
dollars worth of land. There are not
more than five hundred farmers in
Edwards county, but last year they
raised a million and a half bushels of
wheat,-three thousand bushels to the
family. Ten years ago ninety per
cent of the land in the county was
owned by the mortgage companies.
To-day there is not two per cent of it
SO owned. Nobody is in debt, and
everybody is living as we'll as any,
body needs to live. In the little town
of Kinsley, 1900 people, there are half
dozen automobiles, costing from
500 to $1,000 apiece. And the farm
ers who came to the picnic drove fat
horses to top buggies and carriages.
Fred Dumont Smith lives at Kins-
ley, and because he is red headed and
enthusiastic and runs newspaper and
dabbies in politics, queer things hap
pen ta him. A few years ago he took
notion that the salvation of the
short grass country was horticulture.
So he built pond, and put up a
windmill and drove a we'll and set out
a lot of fruit trees. The trees thrived,
and after they had grown two years,
Mr.. Smith invited all the farmers of
the county to come and picnic on his
lawn and see what could be done in
the way OF fruit growing in the arid
west. And the farmers came and
brought their dinners and had a good
time. Smith had invited Secretary
Barnes, of the State horticultural So
ciety, out from Topeka, and he made
the farmers speech. Then Fred Du-
mont made them a speech. Then he
invited them to come out to his Or
chard. Aud when they got there they
found ihe young trees already bearing
fruit, eBaciated apples, withered
lemons and oranges and an o. casion-
al banana. II took a long time for
Smith TO find out who had bought the
old apples, lemons, oranges and ba
nanas, and hired the small boys to
come up and stick them onto his trees
to the confusion Of his object lesson
on the beauties of irrigated horticu.-
ture, and he doesn't feel just right
about il yet.

Register, of the things he saw and
learned while in Edwards county:
One day tramp applied to a lum-
herman in Kinsley for a hand-out.
The lumberman said: "Why don't
you dig up some of these sweet pota-
to plants and take them down town
and get some money?' "Will you
let me do that?'' inquired Waggles,
and being given permission soon had
an arm load of beautiful wild violet
plants ready for the market. The
first merchant to whom he applied
bought them eagerly and sent him
back to his "wagon" for more. Along
came Senator Smith pretty soon and
said: "Send me q thousand of those
sweet potato plants: my beds are just
ready for them" Farmers came in
and also bought them, and the tramp
and the grocer did land Office busi-
ness that day. The next day the lum-
herman repented and confessed to the
grocer, and the latter sent man in
pGsthaste to the farmers he had un-
willingly defrauded, taking them back
their money. But Smith never knew
anything was the matter until he went
out one morning and found a beauti-
full bed of wild violets in his sweet po-
tato patch. They always manage to
keep something going on, out in the
bully West.
There are five thousand people in
Edwards county. Three thousand of
them were at that Old Settlers picnic.
About three hundred of them could
get in the shade of tent. The rest
had good time out in-the hottest sun
that nearly ever happened, watching
horse races and automobile races and
base ball game and riding a merry

go-round and shooting at blue sau-
GERS and visiting with their neighbors.
1t was well dressed, happy, orderly
crowd. There were two or three po-
licemen, but they didn't have any
thing to do. And in the evening as
the sun went down the prairie breeze,
as cool and fragrant and refreshing
as the breeze that comes from the sea,
rising as it rises every day, swept
across the limitless level reaches,
bringing balm and rest and content
as the people drove home in the twi-
light.
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1904-06-24

isu't tip enough to the land for it to
run of, and so it goes down and waits
until it is wanted. And it is aston
ishing how little rain this country re-
quires. From the first of October last
yearsto the 23rc of this April there
was not drop of rain or snow enough
to track rabbit, and yet the wheat
and alfalfa are all right.

light.
1t is a good country, the Great
American Desert where the short
grass grows. and the people who live
there are good people. And the
stranger who was within their gates
for day felt we'll repaid for the toll
of the five hundred mile journey which
had given him again the sight of the
earth and the sky and nothing between
coming out of the far away silent
places, and the courtesies of peo-
pie whose hospitality is as generous
as it is sincere and unaffected.
We don't know whether they have
Old Settlers societies in other states
or not. 1t is pretty hard to believe
that any number of people ever band
ed themselves together to meet annu-
ally and rejoice because they settled
in Arkansas a long time ago, or in
Missouri. But it seems the most nat
ural thing in the world that there
should be such societies in Kansas,
for verybody who has lived in Kan
sas long enough to be called an old
settler is proud of it and counts his
early arrival as one of his badges of
honor,-as indeed it is. So there are
a great many old settler societies in
Kansas, and the writer of this feels
as if he were charter member of all
Of them, for he has been here from the
beginning from his beginning. And
so when he got an invitation to attend
the annual picnic of the Old Settlers
of Edwards county at
