FAD OF KANSAS FARMERS
Have Many Public Sales to Dispose of
Stock and Farming Implements.

ABILENE, Kan. Aprn Never was
there such an epidemic of public sales
on the farms as this spring. Seven
auctioneers have been kept busy and
others are in training at auctioneers
schools. Some of the auctioneers are
"Colone s." They claim that title when
they have "cried" 100 sales.
But IL is only the result Of the farm
ers getting rich-and OF the land boom
which causes much change Of loca-
tlon.
Central Kansas has reached time
when the farmers who have made their
home here, have acquired more ma
terial than they need 10 run their
farm, or are anxious 20 change their
residence. and so want 10 have sale
They go to the county seat and make
arrangements with the auctioneer and
have their bills printed. The latter
are put up in the post Office or are
scattered on the fence posts OF the
vicinity.
The attendance on the public sales
is usually good, nothing but bad wealth
er keeping the farmers of the vicinity
away The women frequently accom-
pany their husbands and form an ~
terested portion of the audience when
the household goods and canned trwt
are sold.
The crowd that has looked over the
possessions of the household curiously
and nodded at the various flaws IN the
implements of the farmyard has also
had "A rude sort of entertainment on
every sale bill in large letters appears
Free lunch at noon" and some OF
them have the additional legend
Bring your tin cups" This Is Greek
to the city resident, but the farmer
knows what II means. II Is promise
that there will be great steaming cans
of coffee. with plenty OF sandwiches
and perhaps pickles. The task OF pro-
viding cups for hundred or two Visi-
tors is a formidable one, and the pru-
dent housewife asks that the comers
bring CUPS TO use at this function. The
habitual auction attendant Is fully
equipped with the cups to use ON such
occasions.
During the winter all sales begin al
10 o'clock. but as the days leugthen
the noon start is more common. II
an depends upon the amount Of ma
teria' 70 be sold, Sometimes there is
something moro than coffee TO drink
but not often.
The amount of property changing
hands IN this growing method Of dis
posing OF used farm material is enor-
mous. IN this county alone probably
seventy-five sales have been held since
the hrst Of the present year and they
{ have averaged more than 1900 ea,a,
OF at least 100000 worth Of second
/ hand goods disposed Of by farmers TO
their neighbors. The same condition
exists I'm nearly every well settled
county of the state, and so common
Is the custom becoming that 1t is un-
likely that IL win show any diminution
