WILL PLANT WHEAT.
Farmers in Greeley and Wichita Agree
to Sow Crop This Fall.

Tribune, Sept. 12.-Greeley and
Wichita counties are in the extreme
western portion of Kansas on the line
of the Missouri Pacific between Kan
sas City and Pueblo. For many years
they have been known as the counties
in which agricultural men were the
strongest. Through Prof. Millers eff
forts at the State Agricultural college
farm institutes have been held at the
various places in the county until one
hundred farmers have been induced
to try winter wheat. There is but very
little land in cultivation in the two
counties, stock being the general in
dustry. They have the same soil and
are in the same altitude as Barton
county. Kansas.
Prof. Miller induced a number of
farmers to visit that section of the
state and on their return the Missouri
Pacific Railway company has been
asked to ship wheat free of charge
from along their line in eastern Kan
sas to Greeley and Wichita counties
to farmers who will SOW it this fall.
There was a big meeting at Trib-
une Saturday and every farmer that
has any land in cultivation has prom
ised to buy wheat, providing the rail-
way company will ship it in free of
charge and try Greeley and Wichita
counties wheat producing country
for the next crop.
