TURNING TO CORN.
Farmers of Trego County to Raise
Less Wheat Hereafter.
COUNTRY is BOOMING.
Wd-Keeney Banks Are in Best of
Condition.
The Town Has 500 Population and
Five Growing Churches.


The farmers of Trego county
in the future will plant more
corn and SOW less wheat. Many
fields of corn this year will turn
out 35 and 40 bushels per acre.
Besides there wasn't a power
shelter in the county ten years
ago, now they can be counted by
the dozens. The farmers begin
to realize corn is a more certain
crop than wheat, and while the
acreage in wheat will be large on
account of the substantial in
crease of Trego county's popula-
tion, the acreage planted in corn
in this county in the spring of
1908 will surpass any year in the
history of the county. To quote
the language of one of the coun-
ty best farmers: More crops
are lost in Trego county by poor
farming than by drouth. :"
The population of Trego coun-
ty is over 5000. Financially her
people can say what few counties
in Kansas can say: The county
is out of debt, and has a $35, 900
court house. There isn't a town
ship bonded, and less than a
dozen school district.
II. F. Kline, of Wa-Keeney, has
40 acres of sod corn. He esti-
mates the yield at 20 to 35 bush
els an acre. There are hundreds
of farmers in Trego county who
can report as well.
There are two banks in Wa
Keeney, The Trego County State
bank being the last to organize,
less than a year ago, with depos-
it's now aggregating $50, 900. The
other, the Wa-Keeney State
bank, has deposits aggregating
| $16O,OOO In the last sixty days
the deposits Of this bank have
been running about $11 900 more
than they were in the same peri
cd in 1906. The deposits in these
banks will tend to show the pros
perity of the Trego county far
merS who bank in Wa-Keeney. !.
Wa-Keeney, the county seat,
has made great growth in her
population It is an attractive
town with her many beautiful
homes surrounded with shade
trees. Today the town contains
about 800 people. 1t may be a
few more or less. There is a
large roomy school house and
five churches. It has cement
sidewalks all over the town, and
five of her people enjoy the con
venience of owning autos. 1t
has two newspapers whose col
umns TEEN every week with
items of growth of town and
county. The government land
Office was opened here in 1886
and in 1904 it was consolidated
with the Colby Office. The con
solidation and removal did not
!. hurt Wa-Keeney a particle. City
property has advanced in prices.
business men carry larger stocks
of goods, merchants are doing
business in better buildings, and
the number of firms have largely
increased And her people take
pride in continually identifying
their homes.
In business view Wa-Keeney
merchants are satisfied. In lum-
Der, hardware and implements
and dry goods and groceries
there is no occasion to go else
where. Throughout town there
are many attractions, hence Wa

being one of the prettiest towns
/ in all northwest Kansas.

interesting Future for Recent English
Invention.
An English electrical engineer, Err
nest luxembourg, has recently in
vented new Geographic receiver
which, 1t is declared, is sensitive
enough to detect the most delicate
impulses which even a pocket battery
could send out.
This instrument, which is at pres
emit known as the capilliform receiver,
is more sensitive than the brain;
1t is said to transcend all previous In
ventions in delicacy. 1t depends on
the fact that mercury in vertical ca
pillary tube-like that OF a thermom-
eter rises and falls when an electric
current is passed through it.
This fact has long been known.
Mr.. Oldenbourg'h invention consists
In magnifying and in utilizing it in
shape which enables it to be used
practically as the receiving instru-
ment Of telegraphic installation. Its
peculiar value is, it is claimed, that
it will respond to far smaller currents
than those at present used; a mere
fraction Of a volt Is sufficient 70
work it, q,
Mr.. luxembourg asserts, says the
Boston Transcript, that it will be
quite possible with the aid Of his new
instrument to make a Geographic ap-
paratus by which any one walking
about the floor could send Ineligible
messages for instance to a confeder.
ate on the platform, where mind
