les of each at home. Oats, Indian
corn and millet are all profitable
crops. Potatoes, sweet potatoes
melons. squashes and pumpkins pro-
duce enormously. Alfalfa is the most
valuable and most profitable crop
that is raised there. The Panhandle
promises TO be the greatest hog
country in the world as disease is
unknown and they will grow and fat
ten in the alfalfa fields without grain.
The rainfall in the Panhandle is
abundant-about 10 inches in the six
months or growing season. The fruit
in the Panhandle is the best. Ap-
ricots, peaches, apples and cherries
grow and thrive with little care.
There has never been a wormy apple
grown on the Panhandle. The stock
markets are Kansas City and Fort
Worth. Lumber and coal are cheap
er there than here. l have kept the
most important feature to the last
for however good the soil may be in
any country if the climate is bad and
unhealthy, making the people sick
and fostering the growth of all dis
eases and insect pests which damage
the crops and worry the life of the
farmer, that particular country is a
bad place in which TO establish a
home Many of the richest farming
districts in the United States, where
the biggest corn and cotton are
grown, are utterly unfit for the hab-
itations of self-respecting and civ
ilzed man. Why should any man and
his wife and his children drag out the
weary years in malarial climate
where all the energy of brain and
muscle is exhausted by humid con-
ditions; when these high, dry, breezy,
anti-malarial praries where it is for
ever healthy are offering their hos
pitalities TO every seeker of a
home. This is a peculiar country in
this, that it has all the advantage of a
climate that gives plenty OF rain to
grow all farm crops, and yet poss-
esses the semi-arid qualities which
render all the desert and semi-desert
regions of the far west and south
west one vast natural sanitariam.
The climate Of the Panhandle does
not breed disease. but cures it, as the
desert sections farther west. 1t has
all the advantages of the desert for
health and of the rainy states for
farming. This is surely a supremely
desirable combination. | know of no
other district OF the United States
which possesses il TO an equal extent.
The dominant condition is dryness OF
the air. 1t rains frequently during
the season OF vegetable growth, but
it clears up quickly, the air becomes

blow. The rain sinks into the soil
The fields are soon ready for the cul-

WANTS HARTMAN
TO SHARE PROFITS

Railroad Magnate for Share
In U. S, Deal.

New York, March, S.-James R.
Keene has sued E. H. Hartman to
gain part OF the profits Hartman
acknowledged before the Interstate
Commerce Commission he had made
out of the Southern Pacific stocks.
The writ was issued today. Keene
is also taking steps to sue the bank.
ing firm of Kuhn. Loeb & Co., which
handled the financial end of some of
the big Southern Pacific deals.
1t is understood that the present
action against Hartman is in connec-
ton with the sale, four and a half
years ago, of 100000 shares of treas
ury stock to William Rockefeller.
which transaction was intended to
defeat Keene's purpose of gaining
control of the Southern Pacific stock.
He had bought It far below so when
he was convinced that the stock was
earning about per cent. He called
on Hartman in the name of the
stockholders to declare a dividend
Before the time came to vote on the
proposition Rockefeller appeared with
the 100000 shares of treasury stock
that had been sold to him secretly.
Hartman asserted the earnings were
to be put into improvements instead
of distributing them to the stoctlhoid
