c. G. Morrison left for Kansas City
last Friday evening after making the
trip here to bid on the new bridge
across the river. 1t was a source Of
regret to the commissioners and to
Charley's many other friends here
that he failed to secure the contract
for the construction of the bridge as
he was the only home bidder among
the bunch and all would have liked tC
seen the job secured by home man.
And it would have been a good thing
for the town if he had, for a job of
that kind means from ten to twelve
thousand dollars paid out in wages,
and if Charley had landed the con-
tract practically every cent of this
would have gone to home men, while
the other contractors will ship in
their crews Of workmen and the most
of the money will be sent back to
their various homes. But the law
states that the contract must be let
to the lowest bidder and the commits
sioners could not do otherwise than
accept the other fellows bid.

to be planted. The machine was run
just ahead of the planters, and the
tomato plants, which we're six to
seven inches tall could be placed in
The slot and the soil frmed about
each plant.
1t being a warm summer, the toma-
toes began to ripen about ninty days
from the planting Of the seed. We
found that plants that were trans
planted matured two to three weeks
later than seed planted the same day
in the field. In the meantime the
field was completely covered with a
luXuriant growth CT vines. We were
frequently told by the knowing that
we would get but few tomatoes. In
order to get through The field, we had
to work it into small plots by turn
ing back the vines every eighth row.
Pickers would then 80 into the field,
pick i nordinary chip (scaht halves
baskets and set in the alley way.
These were then taken to the shed
and sorted. The firm, choice stock
was packed in baskets and sold on
the Kansas City market. Some were
sold to shippers and went out to vari-
Gus parts of the country, but the main
part OF the crop was sold to a manu-
facturer OF catsup at zoe per basket
(22 lbs. average weight.) In the lat
ter class specks and cracks were in
cluded and there was no expense for
cleaning. For the season We kept
track of the number of tomatoes and
it footed up little better than 1890
baskets. Brobably more than 700
baskets were frozen by the frost
which came early that season. The
gross sales for the season amounted
to a little more than s1,1OO.OO. Not
bad for five acres.
Since that time We have grown a
good many tomatoes, but the above
is the best yield. Our land is bottom
soil and the only fertilizer used is
barnyard manure in large quantities.
We can get all We want for hauling.
The last crop sold was handled by the
same manufacturer at zoe a hundred
On the whole, the tomato is not as
profitable crop as some others, but
the average grower cannot afford to
be without a part Of his farm planted
to this kind of a crop.

Sam Buckbee returned last week
from a several months stay on his
farm out in Greeley county where he
proved up on his claim. Sam did not
have out wheat crop last year but
had fine crop Of feed, barley corn
and other crops, and says all the
spring crops were good except those
that we're planted so late that they
we're caught by the frost. He thinks
that with the proper work that part
Of the country is as good farming
land as can be found anywhere, and
all that is needed to make a success
Of 1t is intelligent and thorough farms
ing. He will probably stay here this
winter and go back there in the

crop to the grocers and peddlers, OF

never staked or tied up any tomato

seed we could get of three varieties
viz, Truckers, Beauties and Stone
When the ground was thorough

field one direction with an old
fashioned corn marker, which made
the rows four feet apart. Across
these rows We stretched two
strings, six feet apart. Two planters
