Final Crop Estimates.

A final estimate of the crops of
the country for the present year
has been made public by the de-
partment of agriculture. The ac-
reage, production and value, cor
rected, stand as follows:
Corn-Acreage, 99,93l 900; pro-
duction, 2,592,32O bushels; value
per bushel, 51.1 cents; farm value,
December /, Sl,3iO,446,0O0.
Winter wheat at-Acreage, 2S,1S2,
900; production. 400, 42,OOO bush
els; value per bushel, $50 cents
farm value, December l, 61,217,
600.
Spring wheat Acreage, II, 097.
600; production. 224G45,OOO; value
per bushel, s6 cents.
Oats-Acreage, 81, $4,000; pro-
duction, 754, 4,443,Oo0; value per
bushel, 44.3 cents.
The average weight per bushel,
spring wheat, 500 pounds; winter
wheat, 500 pounds, and 294 pounds
for oats.
While in some respects this is
behind last year, it is still show
ing that should bring pride and
confidence to the American peo-
pie. Farming is concededly the
back bone of the country, and the
present year has been beyond the
average. There is no need of any
uneasiness about our mainstay.

The Salvation Ranch Sale.

The drawing for location on the
Salvation ranch is to occur at Gar
den City, Kansas, to-day, and it is
confidently expected that the
deal for the sale of eighteen quar-
ter sections, $3.50 acres, of this fine
land will be closed up at once.
Recently eighteen men purchased
these eighteen quarter sections in
lump, all paying the same price,
SO, 10000 per quarter, with the
agreement that they would draw
lots for location of their respective
quarters. The party who draws
the first number gets his choice of
the eighteen quarters; the second
gets his choice of the remaining
seventeen quarters, and so on un-
til each purchaser is allotted his
land. That those who draw the
first numbers will win prizes, goes
without saying as some of these
quarters are worth $40 per acre
and have improvements upon
them that are valued at several
thousand dollars, and it is also
true that the fellow who draws the
last number will get his moneys
worth, as every acre of this vast
tract of land is worth the purchase
price, $50 per acre. or more. The
splitting up of this big ranch into
so many farms and being pur-
chased by men who will cultivate
every acre of it, is one of the well
come incidents the new year has
brought to our people and one
that will have no small effect upon
the development of our county.
When a number of the other large
ranches are cut up in a similar
manner and good farmers are To-
Gated on every 160-acre tract or
less. then and only then, will Cone
JOS county produce that wealth
she is capable of. Let the good
work proceed.
