CROPS PAY FOR FARMERS DIXIE.
Wheat Crop Alone Worth $4,000, Pro-
lection Cost But $4,000.

Lawrence. Kan, July SO.-After
losing fifty carloads of potatoes in the
spring flood of 1908, w. B. Roberts of
Kansas City, decided to build a dixie
on his 460-acre farm in the Kaw val
ley in Douglas county, near Eudora-
He isn't sorry now that he built the
wall. The wheat raised this season on
27O acres of the farm more than paid
for the reclamation work. The wheat
crop brought $4,000; the dixie cost
$4,000
The 27O acres of bottom land yield
ed an average of 3616 bushels to the
acre. One hundred acres averaged 40
bushels to the acre. Seventy acres of
corn indicate a heavy yield
I'm glad I did not build that dixie
until after the flood last year" Mr..
Roberts said. 1.-The high water laid
down several inches of rich soil on my
land. Now that I have the dixie built
it can not get away from me-"
Roberts bought the land for $3S an
acre Immediately after the flood of
1903. He says that 1t is worth $125
an acre now, since he built the dixie.
