INCREASE WHEAT ACREAGE.
Farmers in Vicinity of Scott City
Willing to Receive Help.

Scott City. Kan, Oct. More
wheat is being sown in this section of
Kansas this fall than for many years.
The farmers are jubilant because re-
cent rains have thoroughly soaked the
subsoil. They say this will give the
wheat chance to sprout and be in
good shape for the winter. During
the last few years the soil has been so
dry at sowing time that the wheat
failed to Sprout. Consequently much
of it was killed during the winter.
Another reason they advance for good
crops next year is that much of the
land sown to wheat last fall fallowed
this year, as the crops failed to
sprout. Much of the seed wheat re-
ceived here is furnished to the farmers
by the Kansas Farmers Seed Wheat
club. Private corporations are also
supplying some farmers. The latter
furnishes the farmers with seed
wheat, taking for his pay about one
quarter of the coming crop. delivered.
In case of failure the settler is out
nothing except his labor and the con-
tractor is out the price of the seed.
In case of success the settler makes
haul and his sponsor realizes big in
terest, as one hundred dollars worth
of seed will SOW almost that many
acres and yield of twenty bushels to
the acre next year means five hundred
bushels for the man who furnished
the seed.

OLD SETTLERS REUNION.
Smith County Pioneers Narrate at
Annual Gathering.

Smith Center, Kan, Oct. 1.-The
old settlers of this county held their
annual meeting at this place. They
had an ideal Kansas autumn day, fol-
lowing the recent big general rains,
and if there is evidence of crop fail
ures or long continued drouth it could
not be seen on the faces of the peo-
pie. A happier or better contented
gathering of farmers has never been
seen in this city. The old settler VINO

entitled to wear an old settlers but

especially those wearing buttons of
the years 1870 and 1875 proudly held
their heads. the envy of the tender
feet" who came later.
Every part of the county was rep
resented, and the towns of Lebanon,
Gaylord, KenSingtOn and Athol sent
their share of visitors. All the speech
es were by actual old settlers who
recalled many amusing incidents of
pioneer life on the Kansas prairie and
the good natured crowd laughed at
every joke. An old settler, Joe Finch,
who was born in Jewell county, now
professor of the Kensington schools.
was the principal speaker. He is a
witty, brilliant talker and kept the
crowd in roar of laughter. Other
speakers were Senator 1. NJ. Mahin,
w. H. Nelson, Colonel AL Mathes, Geo
E. Smith, Uncle Billy Hooper and
others.

VOLUNTEERING
Ford County Farmers Have
Quit Worrying About Feed.
Many Have Well Seeded Fields
Even Without Cultivation.

Dodge City. Oct. 1-when Ford
county farms were visited last summer
with hail, high wind and grasshoppers
the farmers thought it was unalloyed
bad luck. And when the dry weather
followed for the balance of the summer
and the late crops did not terminate
they thought it was the browning dis
aster for there would be no winter feed
for the cattle.
But in the two weeks since the rains
began to pour down on the fields the
wheat beaten off the standing stalks by
the hail, buried under the dust and
prevented from sprouting by the dry
weather is shooting up out of the
ground and the farmers find their win
ter wheat already sowed. The elements
have combined to do the planting, and
the farmers will be saved the work and
expense.
In some cases the fields have not been
cultivated at all by the owners. In
others they have been disked and har-
rowed since the rains. On all the fields
in the county the volunteer wheat is
springing up strong and green. And
the feed problem for the winter has
been solved for many of the farmers.
The volunteer wheat will soon be ready
for pasture, several weeks ahead of the
time the drilled wheat will be UP.

them down to eight hits, but that was
enough to enable Whitley Morse and
his gang to cop. We never had 4

hits.
The second game was repetition OF
the fray Otto Jordan and his bunch

best we could do was to get from
Hartner.
