THIS WHEAT CROP A SURPRISE
One of the Results of a Spring Plant
ing Near GoOdIRnd.

Alk Nt---t NTOOuAdaAU
Goodland. kan. July 1S.-One of
the astonishing results. in the line of
spring wheat raising. is 275 acres of
fine Macaroni wheat, one mile south of
Goodland, sowed on sod and fallow
ground breaking from May 1 to May
20. But. astonishing though it is. the
fine field of waving grain. headed out
and filing nicely. speaks for Itself
with an estimated yield of from Is to
? bushels per acre 1t is wonderful.
The ground was plowed with a steam
blowing outfit. the first job by mex
perienced men. The land was partly
sod. and the rest old land not titled for
eight years and gone back to grass and
weeds. the old crop Of which in some
places stood three feet in height and
so thick that a person could hardly
walk through it. The sod turned was
very hummockv some of the old
ground much smoother. On some of
the land. drags or floats were used to
knock down the bumps The drills
followed. seeding about one bushei of
Durum spring wheat per acre It Is
not vet two months from the last SOW
ing, and yet on this very ground wheat
stands waist high. well headed and
green and growing. with a promise Of
I 5 to 20 bushels of wheat per acre.
H. E Don Carlos of Denver owns
the east quarter section and G. L. Cal
vert the west quarter section. Most
people thought they would not get
their seed back. Herman Doerfer did
the blowing. The engine was new the
men were new to the work. a rain in
tervened. but they worried through
and finished the job in about two
weeks.
These things read somewhat like a
fairy tale but they are facts. and any
one desiring to DO SO can verify these
stateme tents.
Mr.. Calvert. fearing results sowed

plate the covering Of all streets and roads,
thereby giving a house TO house delivery the
purpe4e Of said service being to carry the
mails daily on a fixed line OF ira vel to people
who would otherwise have to 60 a mile or
more to a post office to receive their mail.
