FOR EXPERIMENTAL
PURPOSES ONLY
Tree Planting the Topic Dis
cussed at the Last Satur-
day Meeting Held by the
Institute. A Good Deal of
Interest Shown in the
New Organization.

The members Of the Ford County
Farmers Institute voted unsni-
mously at the meeting held on last
Saturday, in favor Of the state ceding
tho Dodge City and Ogsllah Forestry
stations to the State Agricultural
college, for general experimental
stations. Under this idea they would
become state farms for experimental
work in crop aud tree planting and
be under the board Of regents Of the
agricultural college and the work
would be guided by the director Of
the State Experiment Station work.
The matter was discussed at length
before vote was taken, and all Of
Of the members present seemed to
be Of one mind and in favor OF such
a step
The Agricultural college has sent
out requests to have this matter dis
cussed and voted on by the Farmers

TWO INCH PIPE FURNISHING
About 24OO Gallons Per Day.
The we'll Has Been Over
flowing Now for the Past
Week, and Rises High
Enough to be Run Through
A Trough.

An artesian we'll was struck BY
Joseph Miner. whose farm is west OF
town, near Howell, last week. MIR.
Miner was drilling for a stock well.
At a depth Of l42 feet he struck q
strong flow Of water. In putting
down the tubing il was broken, 90
that il had to be finished with two
inch pipe. The supply Of water was
tested and il was found that 1t could
not be exhausted with pump. It
was soon found, too, that itcould not
be keptlow. When left for q time
the water arose to the top Of the pipe,
and it has been flowing at a yte Of
upwards Of 100 gallons per hour ever
since. The place where the well was
drilled was on a bank, which was
higher than the ground at one side,
90 that the water was easily piped in
to a trough. II has not been piped
higher to see how much moreit may
be raised, and the tubing is SO small
that it does not give full idea OF the
volume Of water which may be below.
As the we'll is now, it furnishes an
abundance Of fine spring water, and
delivers il so that it may be piped
into a trough, and also larger
reservoir. The flow would no doubt
have been much stronger if the well
had been drilled a little deeper.
Mr.. Miner does not contemplate
testing the supply Of water farther at
that place, but will have another we'll
drilled on another part OF his farm,
but this may be out Of the artesian
vein "a
His luck in locating artesian water
will probably induce others in tina
locality to drill test wells.

THAT TOWN GETS PRESIDENT
And It Looks Like the Next
Chicken Show Might be
Taken There-Association
Held Meeting and Elected
Officers Last Saturday

The Spearville business men are ar
enterprising lot Of fellows, and are or
the look out for crowd drawing at
fractions. This fact has always beer
noticeable, and attention was called
to it anew at the meeting Of the Ford
County Poultry association held last
Saturday in Dodge City.
At this meeting an offer was pre-.
sented to the association Of guaran.
tee fund Of over 5000 toward pre-.
miums and expenses for the next an
nual poultry show Of this county,
providing the show is held in Spear
vile. II they secure the show they
will make it an attraction which will
draw big crowds to Snearville and
make big trade week, and they are
showing the enterprise that ought to
secure it.
The association has taken no &C
tion on the matter yet. The officers
will probably check the matter up to
the people in Dodge City soon, and il
this place or Bucklin should not offer
better inducements, the association
will probably select Spearville as the
place for holding the next show.
At Saturdays meeting Mr.. L
Morehouse Of Spearville was elected
president Of the association, and f
A. Etrick, secretary. In the event oi
the next show being held in Spear
vile, Mr.. Etrick will resign as secre
tary SO that some one at that place
may be elected to the position, as il
will be better to have the secretary
from the place whore the show is te
be given.

Institutes in each county in Kansas.
Most OF the institutions will vote
upon the matter one week later.
The Ford county institute is the first
to express itself, and il it's decision
is guide to what the others will do,
the Agricultural college will certain
ly have very strong endorsement
for taking the control Of these stations.
These endorsements were no doubt
desired to place before the Legislature
The institute will probably take up
the matter Of Boys corn growing
contest this year. The matter was
placed in the hands OF committee
composed Of Geo. Stouth, J. Ell.
Dupree and F. A. Etrick, who will
report to the officers Of the institute
about week later.
At the Saturday meeting a paper
on potato raising was read by J. E.
Mellicker, from the east side OF the
county. Mr.. Mellicker is the
pioneer potato raiser Of Ford county
and has raised prize ones for many
years, producing in one instance
bushels from one-eighth
acre Of ground. He believes in the
summer fallow system Of handling
the ground, and is very careful in the
selection Of his seed. He doesn't send
away for seed potatoes, because he
raises better seed than he can buy
away from home. A short discussion
followed the reading Of the paper and
then the question Of tree planting
was taken up. Among the ideas ad-
was tho liberal planting Il
the natural tree Of this country, the
Cottonwood for shade and wind
breakes, and the Black and Honey
locust and Osage Orange.
The next meeting will be held the
first Saturday in March at the
Phenix club rooms.

Santa Fe Agent R. D. Rhodes goes to KInsley
and Relief Agent E. A. Teed Comes

Santa Fe Agent r. D. Rhodes,
who has been in charge Of this station
for several years. has been transferred
to Kinsley, where he will have charge
of that station. The position at
Kinsley, while the station is not so
important in the way Of freight
handling as the Dodge City station,
pays more money than the ogent re-
ceives here. The salary there has o
commission on ticket sales added to
it, and the work is arranged
differently.
Agent Rhodes will be succeeded
