UPLAND ALFALFA.
Sheridan County Farmers Find
Crop Is Profitable.
Acreage Has Greatly Increased
During Past Few Years.
MAKES THE BEST SEED
HOxie Is in Center of the Alfalfa
Raising District.
A Mill to Grind the Product Is
Now Projected.

Hoxie, Kan. Jan. 27.-The few acres
of alfalfa growing in Sheridan county
at the start has been increased to 5,765
acres in 1909. and before the close of
this year the acreage will be largely
increased E. r. Crum buys about all
the product that comes TO Hoxie, and
he is the opinion that the best seed
he ever bought was from alfalfa grown
on the upland prairie. Mr., Crum bought
the product grown on about 120 acres
of the Walker ranch for which he paid,
in stack, $2.13 He thinks there are
upwards of 800 tons. in stack, on other
ed for. and within radius of two
miles of Hoxie. The cost of this ag-
gregates moro than $3.50.
The successful growth of alfalfa with
in a radius OF eight miles of Hoxie has
started a movement which may lead to
building an alfalfa meal plant here.
Among the large growers of the cereal
tributary to Hoxie are Walter Roberts,
who has 120 acres. the Walker ranch of
225 acres, the Robideaux ranch, 300
acres, G. L. Rosenkraus. 100 acres. l.

w s. glastonbury. 300. and the Currier
ranch, 225 acres, with dozens of others
each. At this rate, it is confidently be-
ieved that in the next few years the
present acreage in alfalfa will be dou-
bed in Sheridan county. The popula-
ton of Sheridan county shown by the
last census is 5,40S.
Much Wheat Will Be Planted.
Sheridan county will have a larger
acreage in wheat than last year, when
it was 102, 1SS acres in winter wheat
and 1900 acres OF spring wheat The
wheat has been covered with snow for
more than two months. and no damage
has yet been reported.
Sheridan county raised the largest
crop of corn in her history in 1909.
more than so carloads will be shipped
out of Hoxie alone and there will be
enough left for the feeders in this vi
entity.
Sheridan county has outgrown her
present shack known as the court
house, and the county is rich enough
to build a new one. 1t is said there is
enough money in sight to build it with
out the aid of a bond election.
Work on the $4,000 high school build
ir:g for Hoxie and Sheridan county will
be commenced soon as the weather will
permit. A number of other improve
ments will soon be under way Including
the erection of several. fine residences.

LAWRENCE OUT OF DANGER.
Ice Gorge Broke and FIoatetls Away
a55 Without Mishap. F'F

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 27.-Another
sudden rise in the Kaw river here
yesterday, caused by the breaking up
of the ice gorges above, caused further
serious flood conditions and fears for
the safety of the Bridge which spans
the stream at this place. During the
entire day the stream resembled a
solid sheet of ice moving swiftly down
stream. The flow of ice caused a
sudden rise of the river and all ser
vice on the Santa Fe between here and
Topeka was annulled for past twenty
four hours. The water has broken
over the banks in several places above
the bridge. The greatest amount of
damage has been reported at Lake
View, six miles west, where several
miles of the Santa Fee tracks have
been inundated and many acres of
farm lands covered with ice and water.
A mile below the bridge the ice
piled upon sand bar late Wednesday
afternoon and held the water back
with result that the river rose for a
time at the rate of foot and half
broke over the banks near the jam on
the bar, covering many acres of land
in that vicinity
During the entire day force of
men were kept at work setting off
dynamite below the dam here in an
effort to keep the channel open and
allow the ice to make its way down
stream. 1t is probable this work saved
the bridge from being damaged if not
taken out by the ice jam. AS it was
the ice passed on down the stream
without doing any damage whatever to
the structure.

Gently been formed at the Kansas
Agricultural college for the purpose
of providing summer work Tor stu
dents along such lines as they intend
to follow after graduation. The guild
is well organized and is receiving the
enthusiastic support of the student
body and the faculty. Assistant Charles

is getting in touch with the farmers,
threSher men, creamery men, man
ayers of shops and the like over the
state and is getting many requests for
student help.
Many of the students have applied
for summer work and Mr.. Doryland
already has upon his lists men who de-

fruit farms. in creameries and Work
with traction engines:
Many of the engineering students
desire work in either electrical OF me

civil engineers desire surveying or con-

men desire office work. In the veter-

the undergraduates who desire to

WHAT OF JACK LOVE?
Kansas City Insists He'll Again Wear
q Blue Uniform.

Kansas City. Jan. 27.-In the east
ern half of the American association
and especially in Columbus, all kinds
OF stuff is being published about a
trade of Jack Love to the st. Louis
club Of the American league. 1t is
peculiar that these scribes should
know so much more about the deals
being talked of by Manager Dan Shay
of the Blues than Shay knows him
self. The fact of the matter is Jack
Love will be a member of the Kansas
City team the coming season unless a
price is paid for him that will give the
Blues a better player in his place. In
that event it would be for the inter-
est Of the club to make a trade. but
not otherwise. and Shay lis not go
ing to make any deals that will in
his estimation weaken his team.
Last fall Gus Hetling was drafted
by the Philadelphia Athletics and peo-
pie believed this was done to cover up
Love. That can not be proved. but 1t
is q certainty that Manager Shay and
President Tebeau were verv well
third sacker had been drafted in place
of Love. This saved the former Okla
homa City shortstop for the Blues.
There was some talk not long ago of
a trade with St. Louis whereby the
Browns would get Love and Kansas
City would get Claude Rossman, first
sacker, and a third baseman. How
ever, Rossman was sold outright to
Columbus and this blocked the deal.
Manager Shay expected the deal
planned to give him a better man than
Love for the infield. At the present
time there is little prospect of Love
being sent to the majors. President
Tebeau stated yesterday that he will
keep Jack and play him at short, third
or in the outfield. Tebeau and Shay
both realize that they Will be unable
TO keep Love after this season, as he
is improving rapidly and is sure to go
to the majors unless he should hap
pen to have q bad season.
