A-----1--a NllI 6l0lA E-aaIlGE sorleei.ZS OF u.
An item from a Kansas City stock
paper concerning @. ". johnson OF
Sherman county. IS as follows.
C " johnson OF GOOdland, kan,
who sold out high priced land near
CarbOndale, III, last February and 10
Gated on a 4SO-acre farm out in Sher-
man county, has no reason to regret
that he made the change. 1Ir. John
son hnds that he can raise anything
out there that would grow on his ulf-
nOis farm. and several other farm
products and feeds besides "Out in
northwestern Kansas, on land that
can be bought for $40 al acre, big
corn crops, oats, wheat, alfalfa and
other valuable products, including IS
bushels sf wheat TO the acre can be
raised" said M Johnson. That
certainly beats farming on land over
in Illinois that is worth S125 an acre.
And this high priced land in Illinois
viii not produce 25 bushels OF wheat
to the acre. and IL viii not raise al
falfa. which IS the best rough feed in
the world There IS still left in the
hands Of the farmers in Sherman
county a good deal OF old corn, and
the new crop looks very promising"

BETTER THAN ExFECTED.
A S. GaHord Gets Better Results from
Garden Product Than He Figured

a. - AuaMOEu Gets 6GLEEF Results LEllll
Garden Product Ttlan He Figured
A couple OF times before this we
have written something concerning
the pea-rafsing industry on the farm
OF A s GamOrd, nine miles north
east OF GOOdland- Perhaps we would
not have been inspired to say Sc much,
had II not been for the delicious and
generous supply OF peas that graced
the editors table from the garden OF
our good citizen A person can put
mp a better talk about peas when he
has seen them and sampled them, and
il is not a mistake to say that there
are none better.
The first time Mr.. Gaford came to
town with the first picking from his
eighteen rows OF peas, thirteen rods
in length, he brought thirty-six gal
Ions and figured that they would pro
duce this quantity three times, max
izg the total Product one hundred
and eight gallons Last week he made
the third and last trip. bringing The
flSt tire -hi-ty-six gaIlo1S III sec
Ond time eighty gallons, and the third
time thtrty-eight gallons making
total OF one hundred and ffty-fouF
gallons Of peas. which at 25 cents per
gallon Melted him $3.50.
Mr. GafOrd says that he has TWEEN
Ty-hve acres Of barley, which, before
the recent rain, he estimated would 20
over thirty bushels to the acre, and
now that the same field has been
thoroughly wet by a generous rain,
Mr. GaffOrd may reasonably count on
at least fifty or sixty bushels per acre
His MaCarOni wheat field Of twenty
acres is already headed out and in the
berry, and he says il will mature and
make a good yield. This talk upon
the probable outcome OF the crops
took place before the much-needed
rain OF Saturday, and Mr.. Gahord
said that nothing upon his farm was
then suffering for the want OF mOis-
ture- It is remarkable to note the
moisture retaining character of Sher-
man county soil, when the crop is
properly put in and the soil carefully
prepared 1t is unlike the soil Of the
agriculturally rich regions Of the east,
and itstands to reason that this char
acter Of the soil in western Kansas
will go a long way toward solving the
agricultural problem. It is contended
by farmers best cOnversant with the
conditions and experiments in this
county, that in the great majority OF
years there is sufficient moisture to
mature small grain, and corn as we'll
Mr. GamOrd, who has lived in Sher-
man county for ten years, and in the
state since the close Of the civil war
maintains that right here in the short
grass country agriculture ought to be
successful four out Of six years and
that fl is possible and highly probable
that the farmers Of Sherman county
may get rich at tiIling the soil.

Commissioner West states that he was
