A FARMERS VIEW 8

Eastern Kansas is doing very
poor farming and probably needs
a lesson lik. Iowa got about 35
years ago Yhen wheat failed and
Northeast iowa was forced into
dairy and fsock and horse busi-
ness. Thee Iowa farmers paid
their debts .shd built large barns
and houses. and Iowa is now in
the front rank in the United
States in farming, and Kansas
and Southern Missouri will in
crease their crops as soon as
they go to keeping good cows
and selling the cream, and build
good barns for their stock, and
put all manure, possible to save,
back on the land, and raise more
grass for pasture, and good Glow
er and alfalfa hay, and cut up all
their corn and feed. both stalks
and corn, instead of letting part
of their land grow up to weeds,
without crop, and then waste
! of their corn crop, by not cut
ting and feeding in proper shape
and l want to say that | have
made up my mind that in rota-
tion of crops, in raising hay and
grain, that land should te seeded
the Same side up every time. |
have never heard any other per
son make this statement. but in
farming for 50 years l consider |
ought to make some valuablt oh.
servations myself; therefore. |
state that the men wins tells you
to run a 3. or ) year rotation is
not giving you the best of advice
i say use 4 or 6 years rotation,
and the manure fertilizer should
be put on the siee that j. to be
seeded to grass unless YOU can
manure both sides, which, of
course, would be better, but
there are but few farmers who
can get all over one side of their
farm; therefore, TO start right, if
you have sod3to plow up, manure
it before you blow it, or wait till
you plow it up, then manure it
and remember afterwards which
side is the sod side, and in that
way you can raise three crops Of
corn and then the crop you want
to SOW the grass seed with and
then you can leave the grass as
long as it does well for hay and
pasture, and if you want TO raise
wheat plow and manure as | have
stated and then raise corn the
first year, wheat the second, and
corn the third; then sow grass
seed the fourth, and notice now
Oct. %, 1913-as l am riding
through Eastern Kansas and
Western Missouri that there are
hundreds of acres of corn stalks
wasting in the field
l notice today Jan. /, 1911
men are letting their stock run
over the pastures and meadows,
spelling the grass so there will
be none next year

said that at both the Southern States

states at the same time, to concen-

TWO GAMES ARE SCHEDULED TO
BE PLAYED TONIGHT BY THE Y.
M. C. A. LEAGUE.

Two games Of basketball will be
played tonight on the local court when
the Mystic Five meets the Whitmans

The Whitmans lost to the RECALLS
last Wednesday night SO they are go
ing in strong to clean up with the
Mystice Five, who so completely took
the High School team by surprise and
gave them a walloping. However, the
losers of last Wednesday night have
not the slightest intention of being
beaten again, and tonights games will
show that the consistent practice,
which they have been putting in lately.
will greatly influence the outcome OF
the games.
The Mystics announce the addition
of one more star to their already all
star lineup. With the sting of their
first defeat prodding them on to re.
newed strength, the Whitmans will no
doubt put up an Al game.
The High School team has been
practicing hard for their game with
the RECALLS and with Jimmie BrasseIl,
the star Of last years boys league, in
the lineup, they are confident of win
ming. 'Ischgabibble" quoth the Rex
