Anselmo farmers are this year rejoicing
over the harvesting OF an excellent crop

Of corn and potatoes. Timely rains kept
the grain in good condition and It not

ships regularly to carry passengers between

ports and was known both as Cupid 8
Ship and the Good Luck Ship"

KAFFIR AND MILO SAVE
KANSAS FARMERS BACON
Prof. j. w. searsOn says They Have
Solved the Problem of the Many
Dry Seasons.
(Froma a staff Correspondent)

LINCOLN, July s-(SpeciaL)-J. w.
Searson, a former Nebraska school man
and at present head of the department OF
English at the Kansas State Agricultural
college at Manhattan, declared today. that
though farmers OF western Kansas had en-
dured drouths for five years they had
found their salvation iIF kaffir corn and
milo which they raise there in great guam
titles at the present time.
Twenty years ago i rode through that
part of the Jayhawker state" said Prof.
Searson today, land farmers were deesrt-
ing their homes and going from the coun-
try. That was because of failures they had
been subjected to year in and year out.
Now they stay at home and work as hard
as they can TO take care OF the bounteous
crops of milo and kaffr which they have
without fail"
These two growths, Mr.. Searson declared
make a fodder which cannot be beaten. the
former being mixed with alfalfa and the
latter fed alone. The kAffir corn runs as
high as fifty-five bushels TO the acre, ac-
cording TO the former Nebraskan, and the
farmers in Kansas have turned their activ-
tiles to stock raising with great profit.

Mr.. Ross said that the passengers from
the first asked to be put ashore. They even
called to passenger train passing from
the cliff, he said. The train stopped. he
said, but the captain would not allow the
passengers to go ashore.
1T was as quiet as a mill pond then -
Mr.. Ross went on, and II would have been
an easy task for the crew to have put us
ashore. But Captain Faria said he had
orders by wireless from his company ia
keep the people aboard.
Life saving crews from a station near
the point appeared on the scene early in
the day and offered assistance, but after
keeping them two hours the captain told
them they would not be needed. When ac-
tual debarkation from the ship did COM
rnence, however. they returned and did
heroic work"
There were probably eight lost in all
and it will be some time before the exact
number is known" said Q. G. Schooner OF
San Luis Obispo. Two boats capslzed one
from the Santa Rosa, in command of
Second Mate Houston and another from
the steamer Helen p Drew, which stood
by us all day, waiting for q chance to
help us get a line ashore"
Among those to- seriously hurt to leave

Francisco. With another woman and four
children, she was sent ashore in a net
attached to the surf line. Waves washed
over them continuously on their passage to
the beach and all were completely ex-
hausted when they reached the shore and
had to be cut from the net.
