Plains Blossom AGAIN.

A once barren empire practically as
large as the state Of Missouri has been
reclaimed by two plants, the sugar
beet and alfalfa. Within half a dozen
years the western third of Kansas, a
portion of southwestern Nebraska and
nearly half of eastern Colorado have
increased half million in population
raised the value of their products from
almost nothing to respectable figure
and demonstrated the one time theory
that the production of sugar is not lin
tied in America to the south.
The industries of this section are, to
be sure, in the infant stages of their
possibilities. There are no cities, few
railroads and practically none of the
things men choose to term civilization
but there are acres and miles verdant
nine months in the year with succu.
lent grasses and sweet roots which In
time will make the whole section into
another great farming commonwealth
Little towns have grown up in few
years. and thousands of families hav,
arrived and, what is more to the point
have remained and prospered.

NJ. Il. Church Ne WIS

As Methodist pastor we herewith
present your paper with some items
regarding our work:
An epidemic in the nature of influ-
onza, commonly called grippe" has
prevailed to a considerable degree
among the people. Some were quite
seriously afflicted, but as far as known,
all are recovered at this writing.
Plans are well under way at this time
to proceed with our church repairs.
Our Sunday schof is so enlarging its
borders under the inspirational Mclean
that more room is needed for some of
our classes.
Mother Ravens, who is visiting in
California with her daughter, Mrs.
Douglass, wrote this pastor a very
kindly letter. telling US that she was
having most enjoyable time, but
expected to be back in dear old Web
ster soon.
This writer spent few hours during
several days at the late session of our
circuit court. The cases were unusu-
ally interesting, many unique points
being brought out, while Judge McNulty
impressed all with his gentlemanly
bearing and excellent judicial ability.
And it seemed to us that Webster's
attorneys are host in themselves.
Through the kindly offices of our
Commercial club the writer is invited
to speak before that hustling organiza-
ton next Friday evening, March 10.
We are at the present writing greeted
with most encouraging audiences, for
which we are thankful The doors of
our church are often opened; a number
of our children are being presented for
baptism and the finances are on easy
street.
While intensely interested in our own
immediate church organization, j am
not unmindful of other churches in our
midst. pray we may be one in
thought and sympathy. We strive to
keep alive spirit of Christian fellow
ship. May God bless the churches.
May we go forth
ITO serve the present age
Our calling to fulfill.
Oh, may it all our powers engage
To do our Masters will. .

the TREND OF WHEAT.
It's Movement Westward Has Been
steadily Increasing.

steadily Increasing.
With favorable weather conditions
the new wheat area OF eastern Mon
tana, western North Dakota. western
central South Dakots. western central
Nebraska. western Kansas and eastern
Colorado, all in the semiarid region.
can produce from 100000 to 10000
600 bushels more wheat than ever
before. That is, the country may
absolutely gain that much, for this
increased area is not in wheat at the
expense of some. other locality.
Last season the crop was light in
the semiarid region because Of drought.
But in the winter wheat part of it
there is. so far as is known, a
promising amount of moisture, while
In the northwest, in the dry coun-
try" the ground is in perfect condi-
ton, which will insure a large acre
age IL spring wheat
But a few years ago the western and
northwestern counties Of Kansas were
beyond the wheat country. The west.
ward trend of wheat has been so steady,
however, that now. with sufficient mois.
ture, several of the group of northwest.
ern counties will raise a million TO a
million and a half bushels each. Chey-
enne county, in the extreme northwest.
ern corner of Kansas, has a sufficient
area in wheat TO produce over half a
million bushels. In western central
Nebraska and South Dakota the west
ward trend of wheat has brought about
the same remarkable change. Given ia
vorable conditions this season. these two
states will take more important posi-
ton among the wheat producers than
ever before and by reason of new acre
age in the semiarid region.
Last season North Dakota had a
remarkable increase in wheat acre
age in the west and northwest, and
but for the drought, which west Of the
500 line cut down the yield over n
large area one-half - but for this
North Dakota would have raised the
heaviest crop any state has ever pro-
duced. West of the Missouri river
the traveller over the Northern Pacific
or the Great Northern can form nc
conception of the area under cultiva-
ton. At some small stations-New
Salem or Glen T-llin. on the Northern
Pacific. for instance-the traveller will
see two or three fields and a waste
of drear. brown hills suggesting lone
Illness rather than energetic agricul-
ture. Yet there may be marketed at
each of these stations and others like
them a quarter Of million bushels Of
wheat. Where does 1t come from?
From ten, fifteen, twenty-five and
thirty-fve miles north and south OF
the railroad, hauled in by team. Thus
the whole great country west of the
Missouri and north of the Northern
Pacific has been and is being brought
under cultivation. In eastern Montana
1t is the same, but with the difference
that irrigation and dry farming meth.
DDS are making the crops more sure.
And this is the country hardly yet
known to the grain trade and not at
all TO the outside world.

day and Wednesday of this week the
class period was taken up with this
work and much ability was brought to
light. Though the stage setting was
necessarily meagre, the participants
had made admirable attempts to rem
edy this handicap. The pronunciation
of the German was uniformly clear and
the parts taken with excellent express
sion. This first attempt augurs well
for their success should they in the
future present complete play.
