Advance Of the Wheat Belt

partment OF Agriculture, which
was made public by secretary
Coburn yesterday, is that the
wheat belt is pushing to the
southwest. The extreme short
grass country of the Big Sew
enth, that was not supposed to
be good for anything but cattle
raising a few years ago, is now
coming into the wheat belt, and
ii is likely that these southwest
ern counties will add much to
the aggregate Kansas crop this
year.
The northwestern counties
have progressed more rapidly in
agriculture than has the south
west. A large acreage of corn is
grown along the northern boun-
ary as far out as Rawlins county,
within a few miles of the Colo
rado line, while Thomas, Sheri-
dan and Rawlins have been listed
two or three times among the
million bushel wheat counties.
But in the southwest the west
ern edge of the wheat belt has
been rs miles east of what it is
in the northwest.
Now, however, the southwest
is being seeded to wheat This
year Ford county alone will have
$4,000 acres, taking it's place
among the big wheat counties of
the state, although it has already
been in the million bushel list
once or twice. Six years ago
Ford county had only 1880
acres. Clark county had ad
vanced in six years from 5000 to
nearly $4,000 acres. In the same
time Meade has gone from 1000
to 35, 900; Finney from 1000 to
1900; Gray from 5000 to 40, 900;
Haskell from 5000 to. 10000;
Scott from 10000 to 10000; and
Seward from practically nothing
to $4,000. Hod ,eman which has
never yet raised a million bushels
will this year probably go high
above the million bushel mark.
1t has 1900 acres, against only
$1,000 in 1901. Lane has gone
from 81, 900 to over $4,000 acres.
Seven short grass counties
which have heretofore cut little
figure in the wheat returns two
years ago they raised only about
a million bushels combined-will
this year raise considerably over
three million bushels, according
to present prospects.
But the wheat acreage is also
expanding in the northwest
Decatur this year has $4,000
acres. against 41,OOO six years
ago. Trego and Cove counties
each have 10000 acres more
than in 1901 Rawlins county
has nearly 10000 acres now,
whereas it had $4,000 six years
ago, while Cheyenne's winter
wheat acreage has increased
from 1000 to $4,000, besides a
increase in the
spring wheat area.
Another interesting fact, as
shown by this weeks wheat re
port, is that the territory that
had it's crop injured worst last
year will this year fare excep-
well, according to pres
ent prospects. An elliptical
region extending from Ford
county to the Nebraska line,
with Graham, Trego and Cove
counties as it's center Jared |

counties in this area at present |

It is reported that a few enterprising
citizens of the New Zion section pro-
pose organizing warehouse company
for the purpose of storing cotton and
for selling tobacco-a combination cot
ton and tobacco warehouse, and it
would pot surprise US to see such an
institution in that progressive section.
We know that in and around New
Zion and Turbevil!e there are some
energetic spirits, and if they comolne
their forces much can be accomplished.
Manning has splendid tobacco ware
house facilities but the trouble IS, the
roads between this town and the to-
bacco belt are heavy, and there is very
little being done to tighten them, 1t
behooves the business men-merchants
especially. to get together and devise
the wars and means to secure a good
road between this town and the Salem
section, and also to furnish such cotton
handling facilities that will induce the
farmers from Salem and elsewhere to
market all OF their produce here. II
there is not something done, mark our
words these facilities will be placed
nearer the sections where the produce
is made, and the trade will go there
also. Then when it is too late Man
ning's merchants Will wake up from
their indifference or blind doless
policy.

A Sad Accident.

AS result of carelessnesS an unfor-
tunate accident occurred IN Manning
Thursday morning, and by =hlch
Young man now sleeps in the cemetery.
Ed. Mccall runs fruit stand on the
lot next to the postoffce, and ID con.
nection Herewith he also ran a sort OF
crude shooting gallery. The weapon
used was p calibre parlor rifle, and
time and again has Mccall been re-
ouested to stop this shooting near the
street, but to all these requests ard ad-
monitions he paid no heed, and claimed
he had the permission of the mayor,
and the police, which, since the accl-
dent, is found to be untrue. On Thurs
day norning this shooting was gong
on, when W NJ. Wilson, printer
working on the Sentinel, coming out OF
the postotfce Joined the marksmen ana
boastinglv claimed he could beat them
shooting. On taking the gun he 1ound
that its mechanism needed explanation
and while the gun was being loaoed, IL
accidentally discharged, and the bullet
struck Horace G. Pack IN the stomach:
Wilson claims when the gun discharged
1t was<in AIeCall's hands, and Mccall
claims it was in Wilson's hands, but
the fact is, if both Wilson and Mccall
had been engaged in their proper en-
ploylnent the gun would not have been
discharged and Horace Pack would not
have been killed. The killing OF Pack
was entirely accidental, nevertheless
the accident would not have occurred
had there not been recklessness
which brought it on. Pack was taken
to the Mccall house, and an operation
was performed Friday by Dr.. ". NJ.
Brockinton, who was assisted by Drs.
Dickson, Geiger and Todu. The hrst
report from the operating room was
that the wound was not fatal as no IN,
testines were punctured, and there was
every hope of recovery. Later peri
tonitis set in and the young man died
Saturday. The funeral took place IN
the Manning cemetery Sunday alter
noon.
Shortly after the accident a warrant
was issued for arrest OF Wilson, charg-
ing him with criminal carelessness, OUT
when the examination was made oy
Magistrate Youmans the case was dis
missed. The coroner held an inquest
iSaturday afternoon, and there seemed
to be an effort on the part of the Nc
ECall's to exonerate Ed Mccall by try
ling to prove that Wilson>was to blame
! for the accident and that the gun was
| in his hands when it went off. There
was NO evidence before the jury show,
| ing the slightest evidence OF criminal
itv: and, evidence as to who held the
gun was so conflicting the jury decided
to render verdict that the young man
came to his death by an accidental dis
charge of a gun without saying IN
whose hands the gun was in.
It is to be hoped the lesson taught by
this terrible tragedy will be sufficient
to stop Ed Mccall or anybody else
from indulging in such reckless sport
where human life can be jeopardized.
