the spring of 1906, with the
result that he harvested 1,545
pounds of spring wheat.
He did not skip the fall of
1906, but planted his 1,545
pounds of seed, and, notwith.
standing hail storms of the
worst kind, the harvest of 1907
gave him $4,000 pounds of seed,
although other wheat crops in
the same vicinity were a failure.
Examination by the chemist
Of the Idaho Experiment Station
placed it No. 1 grade, with high
protein content, in the spring
samples.
"The head of this Alaska
wheat is about four inches long
and from one inch to an inch and
/ half broad in its broadcast part.
Adams Alaska wheat yields
Up to 222 bushels per acre,
whereas the average yield of the
United States is less than twenty
bushels.
This is practically the state
nent sent to the Office of The
National Farmer and Stock
Grower before the publication in
he Saturday Evening Post"
The National Farmer and
Stock Grower goes on to tell
about having some of the wheat,
as follows:
I'VE have also received a
sample of Adams Alaska wheat
amounting in quantity to one
pound.
1--WE have shown it in the
door of the Merchants Exchange.
LAS far as the general appear
lnce is concerned, it is consider
d very good.
THE milling qualities are not
vet proven.
The large yields are in doubt
there are no proofs-and the
evidence so far is against the
large yields.
The grain is hard extremely
hard.
"Seedsmen refuse to believe
that it will grow to do any good
in a moderate climate.
Our sample arrived the day
We print the paper.
Next month we will know
more about it, and if there is any
,ood reason for doing so we will
obtain a sample for every sub
scriber to this paper.
In the meantime a sample OF
this wheat can be found at the
Secretary's Office of the Mer'
chants Exchange of st. Louis

Majors For Enforcement.


We have had an intimation for
several days that Mr.. Majors
proposed to make the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law an
issue in this campaign. Follow
ing is his position on the matter:
GALENA, KAs., SEPT. %, 1908.
Editor Baxter Springs News,
Baxter Springs, Kansas.
DEAR SIR:-As there seems to
be some uncertainty as to my at
titude concerning law enforce
ment, with special reference to
our prohibitory liquor laws, I
take pleasure in explaining my
position, which is as follows:
LIST. l stand, and will stand if
elected county attorney of Cbero-
kee county, for an honest, faith
full and impartial enforcement of
all the criminal laws of the
state, and will give to all the
powers of that Office the greatest
activity possible to accomplish
the total observance of all laws,
including the pTOhibif0ry
liquor law.
End. / believe that if any law
is being flagrantly violated, and
there is behind such violations a
banded community of interests
looking to the violation of the
law with impunity, then the
power of the county attorneys
office should be exercised to the
very limit, not In a passive
way, but In an active way
to make this condition impossible
3rd. l believe there is power
enough in the county attorneys
Office to enforce all laws, and if !
am elected county attorney OF
Cherokee county all laws will be
enforced alike and without dis
elimination.
The question of law en-.
f0rcemenf Is an issue In
Cherokee county In this
election, and as the voters have
a right to know where a candi-
date for county attorney stands
on this question, ask you to
give this letter space in your pa
per so that the voters of the
county may know my position in
this regard.
Yours very truly,
A. L. MAJORS.

TO RENOVATE.
Startling Changes Project
cd For Reunion Park.

OnueT the ABOVE nedulnR INC
Galena department of the Joplin
News-Heraid has a lot to say
about the many changes coutem-
plated for the Big Baxter Reun-
ion. A great deal of it is true,
but just what part is true, we do
not care to say at present, for
the reason that il is the desire OF
the Association to surprise the
people. The article appearing
in the News-Herald is as follows:
Provided the plans of the
Baxter Springs Reunion associa-
ton are carried out in full a ma
jority of the Galena people will
feel lost next year when they at
tend the annual reunion at Camp
Logan. Many improvements are
under consideration and some
great changes are to be made in
the arrangements of the grounds.
The first radical change decid-
ed upon by the association was
a session of ten days instead of a
week, as has been the custom
heretofore. In deciding to ex-
tend the time the association
hopes to make the daily attend
ance more nearly equal and Sum
day will, of course, be the big
day. The amphitheatre, which
has done duty since the associa-
tion moved to the new grounds,
will next year be a summer the
atre.
Portions of the structure are to
be removed and unusually large
stage will be installed. A speak
ers' stand will be erected along
the big bluff where is usually To-
Gated the reunion cannon and a
plot of ground comprising four
or five acres is to be fenced and
equipped with seats and tables
where visitors may 60 to rest
and eat their lunches. 1t is un-
derstood that the association has
already let contract with
Kansas City firm for all the
tents that will be required next
year, aid by so doing secured
them at an average rental OF
S1.25. This alone will result in
a great saving for the associa-
ton. Other improvements are
to de made at the next meeting
and while all the details have
not been given out the rearrange-
ment of the grounds will be such
that the annual visitors will first
have to get their bearings before
they will feel at home.
The principal reason for ex-
tending the time is that the
gatherings have been so widely
advertised the daily attendance
has reached proportions exceed
ingly difficult to handle"

DOVER. April 3O-It Is apparent that
the remarkable situation OF more
peaches and less other fruit viii be re-
sult Of the 1908 summers harvest.
There IS a majority opinion prevailing
here that while Keifer pears and
plums ard cherries have been injured
by April frosts. peaches are stlll alive
and are looking unusually strong.
The strawberry growers were an
noyed yesterday by reports from tho
cities that strawberries are being Of
fered in Philadelphia and other mar
kets at two quarts for a quarter. This
Is such an unusually low price that It
bore investigation. Growers here who
looked Il up state that It is a fact that
good strawberries transported all the
way from Florida and Georgia brought
but ~ 1-2 cents per box. and that the
reason was assigned that the people
had no money to buy luxuries this
year.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
