Round
About Us
Stray Items Of General interest.
Explosives Multiplied. Crop.

TO John Parker, superintendent
of the Jasper county poor farm, is
due the credit for an innovation
that will double and treble the
price of farm lands handicapped
by what is known as "hardpan,"
a stratum of hard clay lying a few
feet under the good soil and rem
dering the land useless for crop
raising. The poor" farm is, or
was, poor farm and no mistake.
Its land is of the type known as
white ash" so fat it cannot be
drained and underlaid with a hope
less hardran. Mr.. Parker exper-
imented last spring with an acre
tract on which he discovered the
pan was about 18 inches thick.
He bored hole down 10 the pan
and inserted a stick of dynamite.
The explosion broke the pan to
fragments for thirty feet The
whole acre was treated in the same
fashion, and corn was planted
The spring was wetter than usual
but the acre gave none of 'the US
ual trouble and the water did not
stand on it. And when the corn
was gathered it was found the
acre, which had previously been
content with a meagre S bushels,
had produced as bushels.
Now Mr.. Parker is experiment
ing with s-acre tract, and if it
succeeds as completely as the first
experiment, he will consider that
the hardpan problem, vexing one
for many Missouri and Kansas
farmers, has been solved. ,

NEW ROAD LAW.
II Enforced VIII Accomplish Great Deal
In Good Road Building.

While we are engaged in Good
Roads boosting in Ford county it
will be we'll to look up the matter Of
the 1909 road drag law. II this law
is enforced most Of the roads in the
county will soon become splendid
roads. Chapter 1877 Of the session
laws for 1909 creates an Office Of a
"drag man" and it is made the duty
OF township boards to see that this
law is enforced. Three sections OF
this law read as follows:
"Section I. It shall be the duty
of the township board for the pur-
pose Of this act, to designate such
roads as in their judgment, by reas-
on Of amount Of travel and grade
conditions shall be known as drag
roads. They shall divide such roads
into sections as will best carry out
the purpose and provisions OF this
act. And it shall be the duty Of
said board to see that the provisions
Of this act are enforced. Beginning
at point nearest to city or town
these sections shall be continuous
to the extreme point dragged or to
the township boundary, except where
soil conditions make it impracticable
to drag. Said board shall appoint a
drag man for each section whose du
ty it shall be to drag the public high
way on his section when the condi-
tions Of such highway require such
work. The township board shall pro-
vide road drag for each section which
shall be shod with steel blades and
not to be less than seven feet in
length. Said board shall divide
such roads as require by reason Of
travel and grade width more than
one trip with drag. For the purpose
Of this act trip shall be the drag
ging Of the entire length Of section
and return. The township board
shall designate what portion Of the
road shall be single-trip and what
part shall be double-trip road.
"Section 2. Ia the selection and
appointment Of drag man the re 81
dents abutting their section shall
have the preferences; provided that
township boards may remove the
drag man from his position on &C
count Of Intellectual work and make
another appointment for said section
at any time.
"Section 8. Compensation for O
shall be at the rate OF not
to exceed fifty cents per mile, with a
maximum expenditure Of five dol
lars per mile for any one year; AMI
for double trip roads at the rate OF
seventy-fve cents per mile with q
maximum OF seven dollars and fifty

Eureka Canal in Use Filling
Reservoirs in Gray County
Since Last Week
PRESENT LENGTH OF SuMP
Flows Water Enough For 10000 Acre
Feet, or Enough For lrrlgatIng
10000 Acres Of Land

The Cimarron Jacksonian give
1t he following regarding the affairs a
the head Of the Eureka Canal:
Last Sunday, for the first time II
many years, good head Of water
name down the newly rehabilitatei
Eureka ditch, being let out Of thu
sUmp west Of Ingalls, to fill up res
aryoirs in the east part Of the county
Although there was no ceremony con
enected with the turning in Of the
water, the first flow of the stream
was one OF the most important events
1 hat has happened in Gray county fol
along time.
A phone message from Manager
John A. Traylor to the Jacksonian
Tuesday gives the information that
{ he head OF water turned in is, in
irrigation parlance, 10000 acre-feet,
which means enough Of flow to
xrigate 10000 acres for one season,
oue loot being estimated as hong suf-
Scient. In other words, Mr.. Traylor
nays, there enough water coming
down the ditch now to irrigate all Of
he land under the ditch from Ingalls,
o Dodge City. And this with the
sump only partly completed. When
4he sump is finished, and is deliver.
i ng its full flow, it can be seen that
the head Of water will be multiplied
many fold.
The tears Of a few who said that
Che project would never work because
1t would have TO make the water run
Sp hill, or some like objection, should
now be set at rest, for the engineers
have proven that they knew what they
were doing when they started the
aump plan. All the doubters need to
do is to 90 up to the footbridge near
the New West Hotel and see the
stream.
Che hsTd,wind Tuesday night roll
ed a lot of Russian thistles into the
ditch and choked it up in places, so
eiShe flow was reduced yesterday, but
otherwise the flow is steady and of
good volume.
The coming of water down the
ditch will stimulate interest in the
project and cause people to investi-
, gate the irrigation problem for the
e ceming season. The water is being
stored In reservoirs, and preparations
are being made to water the land be
Tow the ditch for the coming season.
Gray county should get busy on
this proposition and not let the water
go by to irrigate Ford county land.

CORN DAY NEXT.
Farmers Institute Discussed Raising Of Oats
In Ford County at Its Meeting Saturday.

II
The Farmers Institute had a very
interesting meeting last Saturday
afternoon at the Phenix club. Some
twenty five or thirty farmers were
present and gave their experience in
raising oats.
Henry Smith gave humorous &C.
count Of an early attempt to raise
oats on the Saw Log in this county,
which is a good illustration Of the
encouragement Of the early settlers
In 1879 Mr.. Smith secured q small
| quantity Of oats and planted a little
ground for the purpose Of raising
seed for the following year. When
the crop was "matured" be made a
trip over the groun' Ind when be
found head oats which was not
often, he gathered it with his hands
and put it in a basket. He brought
his crop home in the basket and
threshed it out by hand. The next
season he planted the little seed he
had found and that year when he
went forth to harvest he returned
with an empty basket.
Mr.. Prather told Of his experience
in raising oats here through a long
term Of years. In 1888 the Prathers
had crop Of oats which was watered
from the ditch that season. A big
hail storm destroyed the whole field,
but a second growth came on and
made fair crop after all. In 1905
Mr.. Prather planted oats on spring
planting. The ground had been
very wet and he left the field with
out narrowing for some time after
plowing. He got a crop Of 40 bush
els to the acre. The same year his
barley yielded from II to so bushels.
Mr.. Prather believes that this is to
be good year for oats and barley
and this opinion seems to be general
among the farmers on account Of the
great amount Of moisture during the
winter. Mr.. Prather thinks the
ground should be plowed in March,
and that it should not be narrowed
for time after blowing.
Mr.. Stauth who is one OF the fore
most farmers in the county, gave
some OF his experiences in raising
oats. He believes in springTplowing
for his crops. In 1908 Mr.. Stauth
had a field Of oats sown on fall plow-
ing. They were we'll put in and he
expected large crop. His neighbor
had field adjoining, on the same
kind Of land, and all conditions we're
the same excepting that his neighbor
plowed his land in the spring. Mr..
Stauth had less than half the yield
his neighbor got from his spring
plowed land, and there appears to be
no explanation OF the difference in
yield other than the time Of plowing
the ground.
The State Institute has recommen-
ded a meeting to discuss pasturage
for next week but it was decided by
the Ford county Institute to have a
corn day for the next meeting. The
farmers believe that conditions will
be right for raising a corn crop tits
year, and it will soon be too late to
discuss the matter. Accordingly the
program for the next meeting will be
on corn culture, seed and planting.
