GOLD IN A NUT-scHELL.
Use OF the Campbell System Invaluable to
Northwest Kansas

u
Northwest Kansas.
The Campbell system Of agriculture,
from which such rich results are being
obtained in western farming, means
nothing more or less than a cropping of
the concerned soil every other year with
a careful and scientific preparation of
the ground IduriEg the twelve months
interim. The farmer plows his ground
to depth OF from seven to ten inches in
the fall, thoroughly pulverizing the soil
by the use of a heavy harrow. In the
next early spring the soil is again har-
rOwed, the harrow being thereafter used
after each recurring spring rainfall, the
result being the formation of a dust de-
post or crust, which efFectually con-
serves from wind sweep, OF natural at
mOsPheric evaporation the moisture gar
nered in the soil during the winter snow
fall or spring rain precipitation. In the
fall this prepared and moisture-guarded
soil IS sOwn to winter wheaton in
stance-with a next year harvest result
which rivals, if not actually sur
passes, the most prolific returns Of west
ern canal irrigation. Distributed be-
meath the western dry divide areas at,
perhaps, a minimum depth Of three feet,
is a clay subsoil deposit imPervious to
water. The Campbell system of dry
region agriculture, is, therefore, really a
scientific application of natural irriga-
ton; the winter and spring moisture be-
ing thoroughly conserved and actually
reservOired upon the broad surface Of
the imPenetrable clay subsoil-a fact
which fully explains why western Kan
sas land, which, under the Campbell
system has yielded as high as seventy
eight bushels per acre, while immedi-
ately adjoining acreage farmed with
usual season conditions, returned from
twenty to thirty bushels per acre.

An OId-Timer in GoodIand.

]. B. Jennings, of Jennings, Kan,
was in GOodland Tuesday. He came
to Rawlins county in 1874. The town
of Jennings was named after him. At
the time he settled in western Kansas,
both buffalo and Indians were plenty,
and he took part in pursuit of the
Cheyenne Indians who massacred many
settlers on the Sappa in 1878. Mr.. Jen-
nings is engaged in the stock business,
and his opinion is that western Kansas
is gradually and steadily improving.

that the residents of the state are i'm
mune from evil; there are many people
in Kansas who ought to be in Gehenna;
and many in Paradise who ought to be
here, to enjoy perfect happiness. Kan

like camels, they kneel not to go
through the needles eye; they are rich;
have over S1O4, 600, 900 in banks and
that sum signifies scarcely a fraction
of their wealth. Faust's soul was bar
tered to the devil to be delivered the
moment he became satisfied with exist
ing conditions. Were he a Kansan he
would have been immortal, because
never satisfied. The Kansan is star
ward bound hunting for difficulties; he
makes a virtue of necessity, and coins
hot winds into gold dollars. His COWS
have twins, his sheep triplets and the
litter of his hogs literally manifold

his sorrows he reaPs insurance and

bowers of roses, and his winters health

crave everything; their greatest need is
company to make more food and hap

DEATH IN RATTLESNAKE BITE
VIOLET PALHKa, THREE YEARS OLD,
DIES FROM BITE ON LEG.
Little Girl Busy at @PIay House, when
Reptile Struck It's Fatal Blow
Remedies Fail and Body
Turns Spotted.

Violet Palmer, the three-year-oId
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrene Pal
mer, who live ten miles southeast of
! GOodland, was bitten on the leg by a
rattlesnake shortly after dinner Friday
and died the following morning at 2:3O
O'Clock.
The little girl was playing outside of
the house and was busy around a little
playhouse of her own, when something
stung her just above the shoe top, not
noticing the snake. In a minute it hurt
her so, Violet ran to her mother, crying
and saying that something had got in
her shoe. There was the bite in the
flesh. but the thought that rattlesnake
had done the work was not considered
until the playhouse ground was looked
over when a restless, COiling monster
RATHER was encountered and killed.
Mr.. Palmer fastened to town for med
ical assistance, and meanwhile ammo
MIA, turpentine and a plaster of mud
applied to the wound Whisky was
also given, and soon antidote prescribed
by DR.. Gulick. Early in the morning
the patient fell into deep sleep follow
ed by extreme restlessness, and died in
agony. The foot was badly swollen,
and parts of the body turned spotted.
Funeral services were held at the home
Sunday morning at 10 O'Clock, Rev. J.
E. Stevens officiating. Burial was made
in the Dunkard cemetery, five miles
southwest of Goodland.
This is the first instance of death from
a rattlesnake bite in the history of this
county. Several persons have been Bit
ten, all older than Violet Palmer, but
thew all recovered after much suffering.

~ Express Companies.

A press dispatch from San Francisco,
dated April 80, says that more books of
the Wells-FargO company have been
inspected and more of its officials ex-
amined by the Texas authorities in the
suit brought by that state to put into
effect the new railroad commission tar
if reducing the rates of express com
panies between nine and ten per cent.
In the course of cross-examination
the fact was developed that Wells Fargo
company in 1908 made a deal with the
Southern Pacific railway by which it
got a renewal for Is years of the ex-
elusive express privilege on the South
ern Pacific lines.
For this privilege the express COM
pany paid the railroad bonus of three
million dollars, including $3.50, 900 of
express company stock and agreed to
give it 40 per cent of its gross earnings.
The Texas officials are probing deep
ly into the company's statement of its
expenses in Texas and also into the
volume of its receipts in order to show
that the company can afford to have its
revenue reduced as proposed by the
railroad commission.
The rates of all the express companies
are exhorbitant. They pay little or no
tax compared with their income and
profit. Why the Kansas board has not
taken steps to regulate their charges
has been a mystery TO the people of
this state for long time.
