NO FEED IN OTTAWA COUNTY
Had Great Wheat Crop and Farm
ers Are Not Complaining.

Bennington, Aug. 26.-The drouth
in this section is unbroken. no rain
having fallen since the first week IN
June. A strange and remarkaple
freak of nature is that springs of wa
ter that are usually dry or but in
differently active under normal
weather conditions are unusually &C
tive just now, and the creeks seem to
have the usual amount of water,
while the Solomon river is little more
than a series of pools where fish may
be caught with the hands.
Across the river three miles south
of town there is a spring within a
| few feet of the top of hill, and
there is a stream of water running
from this spring down the hill. Out
five or six miles northeast of here,
where the soil is of a somewhat sandy
character, water may be found by
digging down few feet with shovel
and in some places is ooZing to the
fodder to speak of except small
patches in river or creek bends and
/ in slough beds. Prairie hay is less
; than a cipher, and the alfalfa is next
to no crop at all. Kaffir corn and cane
may amount to something if it would
only rain, but if it continues dry even
these two crops that can stand much
dry weather will amount to nothing.
Straw is selling for eight dollars per
| ton, and in many cases straw is the
only thing to be fed this coming win
| ter. But nobody is making "a hol-
Ter" about it, for there was a big
wheat crop harvested this year, and
| besides that we feel that we can not
have it all coming our way year after
year, for to tell the truth we have
| been wondrously blessed with good
crops the past dozen or more years
and we won't mind this little incon-
venience, though it is going to make
the price of hogs and cattle go sky
| high next year if there is a crop, for
stock raisers are shipping out their
stock-they just have to, there is no
alternative. Flowing for the fall crop
| is we'll under way and will be fin
! ished in due time in spite of the dry
condition of the ground

SEED CORN PROBLEM.
Farmers Won't Use Shipments From
Other States-Use 1912 Crop.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 26.-Unless
Kansas farmers take steps at once to
prevent it there will be a serious
shortage of seed corn next spring
Little corn fit for seed will be grown
In the state this season. Seed shipped
IN from other states will not be suited
to Kansas because of the change in
climate. The Kansas Agricultural col
lege now is urging farmers to go over
all corn left from last years crop and
select the best of it for seed. Farmers
who have none of last years corn now
would do well to arrange to get some
from neighborS.
In some counties there are occasion
al fields which by reason of local
rains, subirrigation or more favorable
conditions will produce considera BILE
seed. Owners of such fields should
Cooperate with their neighbors and
provide as far as possible for seed in
that locality. Such cooperation all
ready is planned in a number of COM
munities of southeastern Kansas, at
the advice of H. J. Bower, district
farm demonstration agent in that sec
ton. The college will ask other
demonstration agents in the state to
make similar arrangements with
farmers who have seed.

SHOT BY UNKNOWN MAN.
Injured Man Assassinated While Talk
ing to Friends.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. 26-Adam
Orech was shot and killed at Chapman
Sunday night by an assassin who fired
from the darkness while Orech was
talking to five friends at the home of
a neighbor. According to the five
friends, the shot came without warn
ing from the corner of the house. Orech
said not a word but arose, walked
across the street to his home, entered
and lay down on a couch, where he
died a few minutes later. The five say
they were unable to identify the per-
son who fired the shot, though they
saw him running in the darkness. Off
GERS declared an arrest would be made
soon.
Orcch is unmarried. 1t is believed by
the officers that the shooting is the
outcome of an old grudge held against
Orech. In the darkness no attempt
was made to follow the assassin
though the sheriff was notified soon
after Orech died.

NEW FORAGE PRODUCT.
Farmers Experiment With Feterita-
Beats All Others

Osborne, Aug. 26.-R. M. Taylor,
whose farm is just outside the city
limits, has been experimenting this
season with a new forage plant called
even the favorite, kaffir corn. Mr..
Taylor has about three acres of feter-
tia, which is similar in appearance to
kaffir corn, but in reality differs wide
Iy from it, though belonging to the
same family. Mr.. Taylors crop was
planted just after the last rain and
has had no rain on the ground to
penetrate over quarter OF an men.
The last rain fell about the sixth day
of June, so it will be acknowledged
that feterita is a sure enough dry
weather plant, a real drOuth reslster.
The crop stands about four feet in
height and the seed plume is mature,
bearing a good quantity of kernels.
The plant tillers like wheat and each
stalk has a seed head. The seed is
white and round in shape. What has
been learned of the plant by this sea-
sons experience would snow 1t TO be
a good grain producer, about like
kaffir corn or perhaps even a little
more prolific, seeing there are more
heads produced from single seed
planted. The stalk is said to be equal
to kaffir corn in the matter of fodder.
Only one other field of feterita is
known to be in the county this year,
in the vicinity of Downs, and that was
planted earlier than Mr.. Taylor's
patch, so it is better developed and will
make a fine crop of both seed and fod-
der. The new forage plant Will be
more extensively experimental with
next season. as it promises to be a
most valuable crop whether the season
happens to be wet or dry. In Oklaho-
ma, from where the seed was obtained
by Mr.. Taylor, as soon as last years
crop was matured seed was taken
from the patch and planted and a
second crop raised the same season.
