Wichita Man Has 1000 Bushels
of Sweet Potatoes Stored.
Raised Them Himself and Is
Awaiting Better Prices.
BEATS BARREL TRUST.
Uses Cottonwood Slabs Which
He Makes in Crates.
Last Week Shipped 600 Bushels
Out to Denver.

Wichita, Jan. 15.-Steve Balch has
a gold mine in his cellar in two thou
sand bushels of fine sweet potatoes
that he raised on his farm south of
the city, on Hydraulic avenue. The
cellar is piled full of potatoes of
many varieties, but all as good as it is
possible to grow anywhere.
It is rather an unusual sight to see
two thousand bushels or sweet pota-
toes all grown by one man IN Kansas.
Probably not as much attention has
been given to raising sweet potatoes
in Kansas as should be, and the sue
cess which has followed Mr.. Balch's
efforts proves that wheat, corn and
alfalfa are not the most profitable
crops.
Mr.. Balch has a scheme that he is
putting to use in order to evade being
high price of barrels has convinced
him that barrel trust exists. Barrels
cost about forty cents each. Mr.. Balch
has cottonwood slabs sawed with
which he makes two-bushel crates.
They cost him fifteen cents each and
by doing this he is able to save
twenty five cents on every two BUSH
els Of potatoes. In addition, the pota-
toes are in better CONDITION on arrival
al market than when shipped in bags
or barrels.
Last week Mr.. Balch shipped six
hundred bushels Of sweet potatoes to
Denver. His potatoes have won fame
in the western market and he gets
fancy price for them.
Besides being a successful potato
raiser, Mr.. Balch grows grapes and
he has one of the finest vineyards in
the state.

ATE RAW PORK AND DIED.
George Shearer Dead and Children Ill
From Trichinae.

Plainville, Kan, Jan. 15.-Geo. Shear
er, who lives near Plainville, is dead
and three children of the family, two
boys and a girl, are dangerously i'll as
a result of eating raw pork or partly
cooked fresh pork, which contains
trichinae.
1t seems Mr.. Shearer had exchanged
meat with J. H. Slag1ey, of Norton, and
on returning home, he and one of the
boys ate freely of the raw meat. The
other members of the family ate some
of the meat imperfectly cooked and
soon all were taken sick. Mr.. Shearer
and the younger boy, who had eaten the
raw pork, much worse than the 9TH
erS.
DR.. Bonnie was called and when told
about the meat he at once became sus-
picious of trichinae and took a piece OF
the suspected meat to his office for ex-
animation. Under a powerful micro
scope it was found to be fairly alive
with trichinae.
Mr.. Shearer suffered great agony,
continued to grow worse and died. The
three children are not considered out
Of danger.

SUGAR FACTORY FOR NORTON.
Missouri Parties Interested in Opening
UD Plant.

Norton, Kan, Jan. 15.-Mayor A. R.
Williams has received a letter from par
ties in Chillicothe, Mo-, asking how
large bonus the city of Norton would
offer for the location of a 100000 su-
gar factory with a capacity of $4,000
pounds of sugar per day.
The matter will be taken up before
the city council at the next regular
meeting and will probably be referred
to the commercial club.
Usually these factories are located
under the provision that guaranteed
acreage of beets will be made for five
years. In Brush, Col, a million dol
lar factory was located by the citizens
furnishing site and guaranteed
acreage of 5000 acres for five years.

WANTS ISBELL BACK.
Comiskey Writes for the Wichita Man
ager to Return to Chicago.

dSOT 10 10
Wichita. Kan, January 15.-Local
baseball fans fear they will not see
their fellow townsman, Frank Isbell,
playing at the head of the local West
ern association team the coming sea-
son, despite the fact that "Izzy'' is the
owner of the club. Comiskey wants
his old player and friend to return to
help the white sox in another Ameri-
can league race. and the big second
baseman probably will accede to the
wishes of the "Old Roman"
Comiskey has written Isbeu, and,
reading between the lines, "Izzy" can
see the desire of the boss of the white
sox for him to return, but Comiskey
will permit the player to remain here
and handle his own team if "Izzy' in
siSts.
Comiskey takes the viewpoint that
Isbell isn't needed by the Wichita
team. as it is the best club in the
league without the white sox star, and
with him playing, it would win a pen
nant so easily all interest in the west
ern association race would be taken
away.
Isbell is not certain Comiskey can
secure waivers to get him out of the
big leagues, in which case he would
return to Chicago.

AN OPTIMISTIC STATEMENT
President WinclleIl of Rock 1slane
Sees q Silver Lining.

Sees a Silver Lining.
Chicago. Jan. 15.-B. L. Winchen'
president of the Chicago. Rock Island
& Pacific, has made the following
statement: I'm spite of the recent
recession of business. 1907 is the best
year Rock Island lines have had, and
the property, both in permanent way
and rolling stock, is in better condi-
ton than ever before. 1t is true that
net earnings of late are not so large
as those of corresponding months last
year, but there has not been enough
decrease to offset the gains Of the
earlier months Of 1907. We do not
anticipate any further considerable
decrease in gross earnings. but the
net earnings of Rock Island, in COM
mon with those of nearly every rail-
road in the country, will be more or
less unsatisfactory for some months
to come. Expenses for the time being
meet the reduced volume of traffic and
the many considerable rate reduc-
lions which have been made.
I'VE have spent during this past
year 100000 for additional facilities
and Improvements and another 81
100000 for rolling stock. No railroad
Is ever finished, and this is particular
iy true Of one in the rapidly growing
southwest. But we are certainly in
better shape to meet the tide Of traffic
when it rolls high again than ever
before.
1.-The general business of the year
will depend to a large extent on the
crop outcome, and there is nothing
unfavorable in sight now in that d.
stand and acreage held its own in
nearly all of the states. The price OF
cotton and corn insures the planting
of large acreage of those crops.

New Orleans, Jan. 15.-Phil King,
the well-known Texas horseman, has
decided to quit the turf. King an

BOYS CORN CONTEST.
The State Agricultural College Gives
Further Information.

The State Agricultural College Gives
Further Information.
Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 15.-The extern
sion department of the Kansas State
Agricultural college is sending out to-
day to all farmers institute organiza-
lions the recommendation for this
years work with the boys. For two
years about 5000 Kansas farmer boys
have been engaged in this corn growing
contest and wherever inaugurated 1t
has created great interest, not only in
corn but it has really caused an edu-
cational and Intellectual awakening.
Fathers, teachers and county superin-
tendents unite in saying that 1t has
mad wonderful effect upon the 1nd1-
viduals in the contest and in whole
schools and communities.
The changes now made in the plans.
1t is hoped, will greatly increase the
membership. Then the big state judg-
Ing school at Manhattan December 26 to
January which $50 boys were enrolled
will also add to the interest and add to
the membership. In most counties In
eastern Kansas the membership could
easily be trebled or quadrupled and
about 10 counties In eastern Kansas
were not in the contest at all last year.
CONTEST CLASSES FOR 1908.
Class A-Open to boys from 10 to IA
years of age. each boy to be given one
quart OF good seed corn by the county
committee and to exhibit ten ears at

Glass B-Open to boys from IA to 20
years OF age, each boy to plant ten ears
OF good seed corn tof his own raising
