FROM DEAD Line" TO rEAsT. STREET
JOhn..WOIf Tells Of How Barton County
Has Improved.

The Droyers Telegram. Of May
oath, has this to say of a Barton
county citizen:
John Wolf. of Ellinwood, Kans.,
considers Barton county about the
best part of that state. Mr. Wolf
has seen that country developed
from its early day stage into its
present high state of cultivation
and Improvement, as he has been
a resident of that section for 80
years. AT the time / went out
10 that country" remarked Mr..
Wolf today. "Emporia was con-
sidered the dead line. All beyond
that part of the state was a desert
and was considered worthless.
Some years later the dead line"
was moved out as far as Newton,
in Harvey county. Then later On
it was extended far beyond Bar
ton county, and is still moving
west. No one in the early days
ever expected to see any kind of
croDs raised out in Barton county.
The hot winds blew regularly,
and that withered the crops. But
the settling up of the country
south of here in Oklahoma has cut
off these hot winds, and Barton is
the banner wheat county now.
We raise corn and alfalfa, and
many other staple crops, and. are
very prosperous.
Note-The dead line'' spoken
of above was an imaginary line
running north and south, fixed by
the state legislature, east of which
the Teaxs cattle could not be
driven up from the ranges to the
railroads for shipments to eastern
markets. The reason for the
dead line" was that the driving
of immense herds of the range
cattle across the agricultural part
of the state was disastrous to
growing crops, and the domestic
cattle were inoculated with the
diseases that prevailed south.
