LIBERAL TO HUGOToN

On last Saturday night bunch of
Liberal boosters met at the opera
house for the purpose Of making ar
rangements to be represented at the
barbecue, to be given at Hugoton on
May Sth.
A committe composed of the fol-
lowing persons was appointed: Geo,
A. Quinlan, Johnson A. Black, John
N. Evans and C. d. Gasaway. George
Quinlan was elected as chairman and
the other three gentlemen were in
structed to proceed with making The
necessary arrangements to have Lib
eral we'll represented on that date.
At another meeting at the Star Lum-
Der Co.'S. office on Monday night
few preliminary arrangements
were made and a meeting called for
Saturday night to take definite steps
toward the securing Of conveyance,
arranging Of program, etc.
There is number of autos in
Liberal and also a good many We
hicles that could be secured and
every one that can possibly do so
should join in with the boosters and
take a day off to attend the Hugoton
entertainment.
The Commercial Club of Hugoton
has been very busily engaged and
has prepared a very interesting pro-
gram for that day. 1t has secured a
number of prominent speakers, and
will have horse racing and amuse-
ments of various kinds, and it prOm-
ises to be the biggest day in the his
tory of that town.

WHAT THE WHEAT CROP MEAN


The good news from the farms
about winter wheat means much, not
merely to Mr.. Croesus of Wall street,
but to little Joey, the newsboy. To
the latter, the present condition IL
points above last year may signify
that for once there will be biscuits
enough to go round
A government official says that
the production of wheat per acre has
risen in this country but two bushels
per acre in 80 years. Yet the con-
sumption of wheat, per wheat eater,
has increased about 70 per cent.
The government, the states, the
granger railroads, are running dem
onstration trains, maintaining agri-
cultural schools and colleges, dis
tributing bulletins And yet Uncle
Reuben in 80 years has improved his
wheat production but about Is per
cent. If the thorough methods of
European farms were used, three
bushels would grow where one is
now raised.
Are the farmers bulletins clear
and obvious enough to appeal to the
hard headed farmer, who takes in
ideas through his eyes very quickly,
not so fast through books?
1t often seems that scientific agri-
culture literature Is too technical,
The proposition is worked out in a
very thorough way, and it stands the
test OF expert criticism, but it is
given in so much detail by the time
Uncle Reuben gets to the practical
suggestions at the tail end of the
pamphlet, it is o'clock, and his
eyes won't stay open, and his head
aches.
( A few practical, pointed, concise
paragraphs, on choice and prepare
ton of seed, cultivation and harvest
ing, might be more effective than the
most detailed study of all possible
contingencies.
The man who can grasp a thor
ough treatise on any kind of produe-
ton would succeed anyway What
the government and the colleges need
to hit is the man who takes in ideas
slowly and grasps but a very few at
time.

A PROFITABLE CROP

o. G. Armstrong, of the Southwest
ern Hardware Company OF Liberal,
Kan, remained over night at Gray
Tuesday night. He was out on a
business trip that took in several OF
the towns in this county. He used
to be manager of the Bolin & Hall
Lumber company at Hooker and this
editor is we'll acquainted with him
and knows that at all times he is
watching the farm operations in the
southwest and making a study OF the
class of crops that will make the
best yield and bring the farmers the
most money. He is great believer
in diversity of crops so that il the
farmer meets with failure in any one
kind of crop he will have a chance
of reaping a good harvest from an
other kind. For some time past he
has been making a study of the Mex
lean bean and the results obtained in
the various parts of the country both
north and south of here. and for that
reason he has arrived at the conclu-
sion that 1t is sure and profitable
crop for Beaver county.
In conversation with him Tuesday
night in G. W. Taylor's store he
picked up a handful of Mexican beans
and said "Hill, 1t would pay and pay
big if every farmer here would plant
ten acres of these beans for they
make a good yield, there is a ready
market for them and they bring
good price, are way ahead of broom
corn as money maker, and am
satisfied they will do we'll here
II. H. Shotwell, who lives south
west Of here near the Texas line, was
in the store at the time and said: u

A few months ago he purchased a
fine farm a few miles southeast of
here and was down to take look at
it and see about renting it for the
present crop season. Jack says that
times are prosperous at Liberal and
that the Enterprise Grocery, in which
he has third interest, is contem-

know they will make a good yield
here for raised the beans on my
farm that you are holding in your
hand If properly planted and cared
for they will stand wonderful lot
of dry weather and make fine Yield.
They should not be planted before
the first of June, should be cultiyat-
ed hoed once and kept clean of all
weeds. If the farmers will put out a
few acres of these beans and take
proper care of them they will find
them great drouth resister and will
be we'll paid for all their trouble"
In substantiation of his own and
Shotwell's statement Armstrong pro-
duced letter from a friend OF his,
George N, Mattingly, cashier of a
bank at Texline, Texas, which con
tanned the following statement in re-
gard to the Mexican bean: 1.-The peo-
Pile here tell me that the raising of
this bean is a very simple matter.
The ground is prepared just as you
would prepare 1t for sorghum, milo
maize or any similar crop and is laid
off in rows from two and half to
three feet apart. You can take a
two-row corn planter and equip it
with regular bean planting plates,
They are cultivated much the same
as you would cultivate any other
crop, the principal item being to keep
them clean, The yield is ordinarily
from 500 to 900 (from 10 to 15
bushels) pounds per acre, after the
beans have been threshed. The plant
ing should be done as. soon as there
is no further danger of the vines be-
ing cut down by late frost"
GEO. N. 4IATTINGLY.
In view of the low prices of broom
corn, maize and Kafir corn last year
and the fact that the small grain
crop may not make much this year,
1t would undoubtedly pay every far
mer to put in ten acres of beans, as
Armstrong says there is a good mar
ket for them hes des after they are
threshed the vines make excellent
fodder. 1t would be wise plan to
give it trial.-Beayer County Re.

OKLAHOMA CLIPPINGS

Every now and then you see some
paper let out loud whoop about the
middleman getting all the meat profit.
The Herald desires to whisper a word
or two in your ear and that is to the
effect that the farmer is getting
something, too, for his share. Mon
day Auctioneer Wilmeth sold about
ten head of cows for Charley Ed
wards, which netted Edwards right
around SIS per critter. One sold for
$S5. Two weeks old calves sold at
this sale for S12 Hogs weighing
about 90 pounds brought SIS, AT an
other sale recently, near Eva, two
weeks old calves broughtp $3.50.
Think of those prices the next time
you cuss the butcher and the middle
man. In 1895 they used to give
calves away, cows brought from $40
to SIS and the best OF horses but
mighty little more. 1t took big
hog up until the last few years to
bring $40 Think of those great
changes and what the farmer Is real
ly getting now for his stock. The mid
dleman isn't getting it ALL by long
shot That $S5 COW would have
weighed about 900 pounds on the
hoof, which means close to 10 cents
