BUMPER Crops.
Everythisg b 0oiss Good In Arkan.
sas Valley.

In this section of the beautiful Ar
kansas Vallcy-"thc Valley OF Con-
tent"-the crops are looking better
with each succeeding day, and with
everything going good" there is in
deed banner prospect ahead for
1910.
The curing and stacking OF alfalfa
which was somewhat intcrfercd with
by the high winds carly last week, IS
now going merrily on. and from all
sides comes the report that this is
the best cutting ever put up in the
valley. There is now sufficient labor
and farmers are. not experiencing
much difficulty in getting their work
done.
In the beet fields labor conditions
arc good and the great bulk of the
beet thinning will be about over this
week.
With but few exceptions in the val
good, and all the bitches hereabouts
are able to supply water. Some of the
later prioritics are not getting as
much water as their districts could
use, but there does not seem to be
any actual suffering.
While tho past week has been cx-
.ellent growing weather, the farmers
are taking every precaution to see
that their crops have enough water
10 counteract the effect Of the intense
heat. The winds last week were cx-
ceptionally hot. and the crops arc
quick to suffer from the lack OF water,
with cooler winds the ground will not
burn out nearly as quick,
Excepting to the new farmer un-
der an irrigation ditch the above ad.
| monition is UNNECESSARY, and there
are but few who will suffer as has
one farmer in the Las Animas distrS:t
who is said to have lost an average oi
,s bushels of wheat an acre through
improper irrigating. His wheat is al
the, present time nearly ready for the
binder. while the growing and head
ing out is not as yet done. 1t was
lust burned out because Of either a
lack OF Judgment or an inclination to
let well enough alone.

predecessors failed to accomplish, but
he does desire to capture his man
without further bloodshed if possible.
The women and children in the Deitz
family appeal to him as entitled to
certain protection, but if the attempt
Is made to drag the fugitive from his
home on the banks of the Thornapple
it is certain more than one member of
the family will pay the penalty with
his life for resisting.
For this reason it is not at all un-
likely that the officials will endeavor
to nut the irons on Deitz while he is
away from home. He tempts them by
boldly driving into the village of Win
ter whenever the notion strikes him,
entering the stores, making purchases
and strolling up and down the two
blocks of Main street. No attempt has
ever been made to modest him on any
Of these expeditions. He feels secure
in the knowledge that the citizens
dare not attempt an arrest, and 1t is a
fact that there is not single man in
the village or within radius OF MANI
miles who has the nerve u teu hiiA
to throw up his hands.
Sheriff Madden and ]. G. Davis, dis
trict attorney, are studying the stu
alton carefully and announce emphatl-
cally that the time for decisive action
has arrived. They believe Deitz has
friends in Winter who keep him well
informed regarding any move that is
made against him. For this reason
they are reluctant about considering
the advisability of sending out an
armed posse through this gateway. If
they move on the homestead it will
doubtless be from the south and with
out the knowledge of anyone, except
those composing the sheriffs fighting
force.

faithful, thus making several thousand
lire annually.
