A FINE REPORT
Secretary Coburn Of State Board Of Agrlcul-
turs talks Of Ford County.

II ere is staten ent from Secretary
Coburn published in the Topeka
Capital this morning:
There is $4,000 acres in hard
wheat in Ford county, aud Of course
I did not see all Of it. But what I
saw could not be in finer condition.
To a casual observer it appears that
the county is one field Of wheat, but
there is unquestionably' land
available for as much more just as
good. Ford is county that only
fifteen years ago had less than $4,000
acres OF both winter and spring
wheat, and up to within a recent
period was supposed to be in a longi-
tude entirely too far west for corn.
I never saw 6Ler corn than they have
in Ford county and the ground is in
first class shape for tillage. The low
est estimate l heard Oh the wheat
yield was twenty FIVE bushels TO the
acre."
