worthless except as a vast grazing
ground for countless herds of cattle

appearance of a fair garden 1rrlga-

VIII Harvest $4,000 Tons of Beets.
I'm this district alone we ex-
pect to harvest $4,000 tons of beets
this season. The sugar factory reports
$500 acres in that district, and esd
mates the yield at ten tons per acre.
Some of the farms will produce from II
to 10 tons per acre, but the average vii
be about 10. The crop for the state last
county alone will almost double that
amount this year. The sugar beet har-
vest in southwestern Kansas will begin
next week.
While we can raise just as fine
cantaloupes as Rocky Fordst and good

will only have to handle $500 acres tbs
year Next year the farmers expect to |
increase the yield to the full capacity

to secure $50 to $50 revenue per re
from their land this year"
Governor Stubs has asked Mr.. |
Diesem to attend the "dry farm

sure as to whether the farmers of |
western Kansas are ready to do that |

mired In these days. But Castro Is
one Of the worst OF his kind. His
rule III Venezuela was not alone die
tatorial: It was brutal and vicious.
Diaz Is a dictator. but his sway has
been beneflcent on the whole. Under
him Mexico IS progressive. Perhaps
he makes the Mexicans a nation OF
children. yet he leaves them a heri-
tage Of manhood to improve upon in
the future.
There Is something picturesque
about Venezuela's "man Of destiny"

However. bis sins against the spirit
Of the age. against democracy. have
been heinous. Measured by every
standard Of decency. he Is an outlaw
