BETTER CROPS BRING
MANY TO KANSAS
Hearing Of Prosperity in State,
Persons Who Left During Drouth
Last Year, Returning.

Topeka, Kan.-Last fall and earl
In the spring there was general exc
dus from the northwestern part O
Kansas and hundreds of people ler
other parts of the state where tn,
crops were not good. Now, there i!
a general back to Kansas" move
ment on and the indications are tha
before the summer is over Kansas
will have gained in population all she
lost last fall and spring.
There was drouth all over the cen.
trial west last year. Even in the Older
and better established sections crops
were poor and in the higher attitudes
in Western Kansas they amounted to
almost nothing. Then a hard winter
! followed. Little feed was raised in
some sections and it was a difficult
problem to bring stock thorugh the
heavy SHOWS and extreme cold alive.
Some weaker hearts gave up the strug-
gle and the prospects for good crops
this year, and left the state. They
went just anywhere.
Now they are coming back. Reports
of fine crop, plenty of feed stuff and
other good news from Kansas is bring
ing them back. Letters from former
Kansans who want to come back ar6
received daily by such state depart
ments as the Bank Commissioners, and
that Of Secretary F. ID. Coburn. The
writer's want to know just how much
truth there is in the newspaper stories
of Kansas prosperity.
After leaving Kansas for other states
last fall and this spring the eX-Kan
sans found that other states had dry
and that all of the central western
states had just as cold winters as
Kansas. And this summer they have
found that Kansas is the one state in
the great wheat belt where there are
projects for a regulation wheat crop.
1t is the same old story.
One Shawnee county farmer went to
California where he was told he could
raise four or five crops a year
ut is a fact" he said, since his re-
turn, @but it costs so much to get wa
ter on the land that a Kansas farmer
can make more with one crop than
they do out there with four or five.

Kansas wheat fields and corn fields

founder and head of the Thomas hos
pital, this city, was instantly killed
when an automobile he was driving
was run down on crossing by a
Santa Fe passenger train. In the car
with DR.. Thomas were his two chill
dren, Whitney, aged 8, and Catherine,
aged 7. Neither child was fatally In
jured. The boy escaped practically I'M
injured while the girls left leg was
broken. Eye witnesses say the auto
mobilists could not see the approaching
train on account of a string of box
cars. The train was travelling at high
speed and threw the automobile fully
$50 feet. DR.. Thomas came to Wichita
from New Orleans. He was born in
Kentucky fifty-seven years ago.

THREE MEN KILLED
IN FIRE AT GARNETT
Concrete Floor Falls During a $4,000
conflagration, Carrying
Death With It.

Garnett, Kan.-Three men lost their
lives, five more or less seriously in.
Jured, and property damage estimated
at $4,000 resulted from a fire here.
TWO buildings, occupied by the ]. @.
McAfee Furniture company, were gut
ted and the electric light plant was
badly damaged.
The fire started in the electric light
plant, which adjoins the j. @. McAfee
furniture company's buildings, from
an unknown cause. A brigade to fight
the flames was organized at once, but
failed to save the furniture store. The
dead and injured were fighting the fire
on the first floor Of the furniture store
when the second floor, which was built
of concrete, fell, carrying the victims
under it. The attention of the fire
fighters was then turned to rescue,
and the victims were taken out as
quickly as possible. The three dead,
however, are believed to have been
killed instantly in the falling debris.
All Of those injured are believed to
stand a chance of recovery.

Has Found Use for sunfIower.

Garden City, Kan.-That the sun
flower can be useful as well as orna-
mental on the western Kansas prairies
has been proven by j. w. Wampler,
of this city. Mr.. Wampler has large
truck garden and specializes in raising
pole beans. The garden is irrigated
by a windmill. Beans and sunflowers
are planted at the same time in rows
on each side of the irrigating bitches.
The sunflowers grow rapidly and
shade the bitches, thereby saving the
water supply from evaporating. They
also form the necessary support for
the bean vines.

Spearville, Kan.-Another proof Of
the increasing popularity of samll ir.

ming of Sawlog creek, north of this
place. by w. ]. Randall, of Larnde.
The dam is so feet wide at the base
and 80 feet wide on top. 1t is esti-
mated that during dry years the sup
ply that can be accumulated will irri-
gate some 200 acres under the dam.
Mr.. Randall will probably sell some
of the water to neighbors.
