About Our People

Charles Andreae of Ellinwood,
Kas., says that farmers out that
way are sticking to wheat and
that they firmly believe it will
continue a paying crop for some
time to come. Mr.. Andrese re-
members the time very well
when there was no such a thing
as wheat raising at all through
that part of the state. 1t was
an open country with but a few
settlers when he landed there.
But TO-DAY Barton county, where
he lives, produces more wheat
than any other county in the
state. If not in the United State
Eyes, farmers have made money
raising wheat" he said. And
there are still good profits in the
wheat when it can be raised as
it is out there. We do not be-
long in that class of wheat rails
ers such as are to be found
in Missouri or these older states.
We belong in a class by Ourselve
| do not recall a season when
we have had a wheat failure,
and | have been there ever
since wheat raising started. The
way wheat prices have been &C
vancing in recent years it seems
tc me that it is a very good time
right now to keep on rals ng 1t
There is a large acreage in this
season, and the wheat looks very
p:' missing. We have had about
all the moisture necessary
through the winter to keep i
growing, and it is doing wei
now. But should we decide II
go out of the wheat raising bus
mess, we would not have to qui
farming by any means. We cal
