AS TO SEED WHEAT.

Some seem to think there should
be some steps taken by the county
to provide seed wheat. There is an
immense amount of land in the
county that will be in fine con-
dition for seeding without any adj
ditional work but it is claimed that
the county cannot do anything in the
way of providing seed wheat with
out special authority from the legis-
lature- Now, we have a plan we
would like to submit. There are
jack rabbits enough to eat up all the
wheat that could be shown, anyhow,
and why would it not be a good plan
to place bounty of cents a head
on rabbits? Then a man could soon
earn enough to seed several acres of
ground to wheat and at the same
time remove the rabbits that would
soon eat his wheat up if they are not
destroyed. This is a business pro-
position Every acre of ground that
can should be. sown to wheat. We
are also facing serious proposition
with the jack rabbits. Let US kill
two birds with one stone, destroy
the rabbits and buy seed wheat

patrons of the Wa-Keeney systems
but gets its wires crossed in the di-
vision of them. There are more
water patrons than light patrons and
it is fact that except for the city
water works there would have been
great privations, hardship and suffer
ing probably, among the people dur
ing the late protracted drouth.
While farmers and farm stock were
actually suffering for water in many
places, the fortunate people of Wa
Keeney had an abundant supply of
the very best quality.
The Wa-Keeney financial report
from which the Tribune quotes was
not a report by the city treasurer,
and the Tribune failed to say that
this same report shows cash on hand
to the amount of about 81, 500.
In our humble opinion the people
of Solomon can support a water and
light plant and ought to be able to
get good one for $50, 900, if they de-
sire to do so. But that is none of
our business. We are simply stand
ing up for our home town as every
good citizen ought to do.

Build Ponds

In order to encourage the storage
of water that annually runs off dur
ing the flood season, it being a gen.
eral belief that wide spread system
of storage would create difference
in climate, prevent drouths, add to
fertility of farms, prepare the way
for sub and surface irrigation act
beneficially in many ways, the last
legislature passed law exempting
from taxation to the amount of one
hundred to three hundred dollars per
quarter section where such ponds or
storage reservoirs are built.
A pond must store an acre foot OF
water to permit the exemption ef one
hundred dollars. The plans and meas
urementS are to be made by the en-,
gineer or surveyor. 1 am prepared to
run the levels, make estimate fol
any who wish to avail themselves OF
the opportunity, and aside from per-
sonal reasons 1 hope a goodly number
will take advantage of this and helI
make Trego county wet if that viii
do it. HUDSON HARLAN,

The Old Settler

When the weather is hot and the
river is dry, and the corn and the
'taterS are yellow and scar, some
windy old dub always raises the cry
and says: sob, this isn't a very dry
year. Now, back in the summer of
Umpity-steen we shore had drouth
that would open your eyes; for days
and for weeks and for months 1 have
seen hot weather with never a cloud
in skies. That there was the year
when the rattlesnakeS died beneath
the hot rays of the merciless sun.
Full many one have / et- ready
fried, as he lay in the pathway delici-
ously done. They say that this dry
spell beats anything yet, and quote
you the fggers to prove it is true;
but / claim the weather is Soggy and
wet compared with the summer of
Umpity-two.s That season / broke
forty acres of sod with pair of dun
mules that couldn't be beat, but
ruined 'em both jest be keeping 'em
shod, for their shoes got so hot that
it roasted their feet. Don't talk of
the rivers and ponds bein' low; why,
back in the summer of Umpity-four
the Baptis's was holding camp
meetin' show and the people came
for'ard each night by the score. But
when it was ended a fact come to
| light that made them evangeelists
open their eyes; they found their
selves in a most sorrowful plight
there wasn't no water for them to
baptize. Then a young circuit rider
of Wesleyan creed, who heard how
them converts was left in the lurch,
made forty-mile journey down there
on his steed and roped 'em all into
the Methodist church. No need to
tell me that the season is hot, know
what / know and I've seen; why, it's
pleasant compared to the weather we

Our Reply to the Report
er's Reformer.

1t is just a little amusing to watch
the inconsistent side-stepping of the
Reporter in its "Few Little Facts
this week. If Mr.. English would
just get down to business people
might know what he is trying to
drive at, but he tried to side-step
every fact which appeared in last
weeks World. AS far as we are con-
cerned as we stated before, this con-
troversy could drop, but we will not
drop it until the Reporter is ready.
Mr.. English still lays considerable
stress on the graft business and again
we say to Brother English he is well
come to unearth anything along this
line that he is able to lind, and we
don't feel alarmed in the least when
he intimates that it is to hang as
club over our head if we don't be-
have and let the municipal affairs of
the city alone. It's awfully nice of
Mr.. English to jump in and try to
lick the whole bunch for the city
council, the police court and every
thing else; most strangers are not so
kind and liberal.
He poked his long nose into our
personal business and his intense in
terest in the welfare of Wa-Keeney
is as pathetic as it is ridiculous and
the fellows he is doing it for are
laughing in their sleeves at his gull
libility. It's pity he can't see it.
He futher intimateS that we are very
desirous of being considered ''It"
and in this matter if it is possible
Mr.. English is greater ass than in
any other statement he has made
We are very grateful to the people
for all of the supportfwe have ever
received and our government job"
seems to be the bone of contention
but we have no one but a very few
personal friends to thank for that
and are under no obligation to the
city, the city council, the police
court, or the Reporter for landing it
as bitter as it was for some to swal-
low.
We are just a little sorry that Mr..
English from a 'moraI' stand point
is afraid of us. He does not just ex-
actly look as though he would be-
come contaminated easily and he
may be sprouting those angelic affairs
people call wings, but really there is
no particular evidence of it; but still
it pays stranger to be mighty care
full. But in stunning US he wants to
keep his eyes open that he don't get
into anything worse.
This is all we have time for, so if
our enthusiastic reformer is through,
we will bid him sad but kindly

Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 25,
1911.
Another sprightly cattle market
was enjoyed here today, in spite of
the fact that the run was of generous
proportions, 14,OOO head, including
l, 100 calves. Prices were higher in
some cases, and at least steady on
everything. Black yearlings from
Nebraska brought S7.25 today, and
other yearlings reached $40. These
last were from the same lot that
brought s7.O0 yesterday, when the
salesman thought he had done some
rife in the cattle trade, and the
thought of the trade generally was
voiced by J. Ogden Armour a few
days ago when he predicted that be-
fore long no cattle or beef products
would be exported from thiScountry,
that we would need the entire ogt-
put at home. He even went farther,
and said that before many years we
would be importing cattle from
South America. The district below
the quarantine Ina is said to contain
quarantine cattle are moving to mar
ket. Only 81 loads of that class ar
rived here today, and the supply for
the past ten days has been less than
one-third the supply same time last
| year. Quarantine steers sell at S4. 10
to 1886 here this week, grass cows
from the south at S3. IS to 81 80, veals
800. Heavy steers did not come up
to expectations today, barely reach
ing last weeks high figure, S6.S5.
Prime quality would probably reach
S7.0O. Killers hooks are bare, and
they cannot conceal the fact when
runs are light, as they have been for
two weeks. Pasture steers from ma
tive territory sell this week at S4.6O
to So Is, cows up to $500, Gamers
500 to $3.50, bulls $500 to S5.25,
stock steers 1926 to $3.50, feeders
s4.O 90 to s5.25.
Hog receipts are falling below es-
Inmates this week, meagre as are the
latter, and prices are stronger. Run
today is barely II, 900 head, market
to 10 higher, top s6. 10, bulk S. 40 to
| S6.65. Light weights are offered more
freely than other kinds, and average
quality of the same is lower, hence a
wider spread in prices in that class
So. 35 to So IS today. Pigs are poor
sellers, especially little pigs. Some
112 lb. pigs brought $500, but weights
under that sell at $3.50 and down.
wards to s4.75. Heavy hogs are
scarce, and bring top prices, though
medium hogs of good quality also
bring top figures.
Lambs are popular this week, price:
10 to 15 higher, top S7.25. Colorado
spring lambs reached the top, best
natives S70O, and Arizonas at 81. II
today. Mutton sheep are a littl,
lower this week, because of the ar
rival of too much range stuff at Chi
cago, from the northwest. Wethers
are worth S4.0O to s4.25, ewes t,
killers $500 to s4.00, breeding ewes
.25 to 50. rs, stock stuff s2.50 t,

WORK FOR SEED WHEAT

Up in Thomas county there has
been some talk of asking the county
commissioners to furnish seed wheat
to those who are unable to buy and
allowing the farmers to give a mort
gage on their crop in payment for
the seed. This, you remember, is
the same proposition as was submit
to the commissioners of this county
short time ago. N. A. Turner, of
the Colby Tribune, is not in favor of
the project, but suggests one which
sounds mighty feasible to us. He
says: I'VE are not unmindful of the
great need of seed wheat which con-
fronts the farmers of the county but
we hardly believe this to be the best
method to procure it. There would
be lot of dissatisfaction over such a
arrangement. Some sections of the
county would claim they were dis
eliminated against, even with the
possible management 1t occurs to
US that perhaps the various town
ships might@b better handle the m9t-
ter by giving every farmer who need
ed seed and he could not buy it a few
udyS WOTk OH Ufl0 IOduS dI1O have CIl6
money earned settled with its equiv
alent in seed wheat. This would en-
able him to pay for his seed when he
procured it and at the same time
greatly benefit the roads of the coun-
ty."9Gove Gazette
We notice that some of the Hoxie
people have been down to Topeka
trying to get the Governor to call a
special session to get seed wheat, and
in failing in that they are trying tc
get the railroad company to give
them help. This is very unfortunate
for already some of the eastern pap
ers are saying, it is the same old cry
from Western Kansas, and also
say that two years ago all the pap
ers were calling attention to the
great prosperity of this part of tht
State and that if we had not spent
our money for autos and the like
that we did not need, we would have
had plenty to buy our oun seed
There is plenty of money in any anc
all of these Western counties to fur
nish all the seed wheat needed. W.
call esdecially attention to Decatur
county as they are taking care o
their own seed proposition.
