SALIVA A CONTENDER
IN FIFTH DISTRICT MEET

Abilene stands a good chance tt
send a number of track athletes tt
the state high school track meet a.
Manhattan and to win the Fifth
district meet which will be held
here next Saturday afternoon. But
Abilene will not carry away any
events without fight. Salina will
be one of the strong contenders in
the fight this year, and as the Ed
wards squad has been out ever since
the basketball season closed-the
Salina lads played no baseball this
year-they should be up to form
and over. A comparison of the rec
ords made in a recent class meet at
Salina with those made in the coun-
ty meet here last Saturday shows
that Abilene will have to whip up.
In the 50-yard dash at Salina the
time was 3-5 seconds; here 1t was
2-5. The Salina pole vaulter went
only g. feet, 8 inches, and Rusty"
Carver can add 2 feet to that mark.
In the 10O-yard dash the Salina
winner went the distance in 10 As;
here 1t was IL 1-5. Godfrey can
better Salinas time of 1921 in the
half by clipping off seconds. In |
the high jump Edwards men can
give Abilene a half foot handicap.
3eoffrey is again better in the 220
'ards than Salinas present mark.
3riney ought to win the shot put.
iarver's throw Of 1O1 feet 8 inches
With the discus is far ahead of Sa-
mas heaves. Abilene's time is
letter in the quarter and mile, and
broad jumping is better.
Other towns in the district will
rake strong showing, but unless
he county high school develops won
erfully, Abilene will have not
reat deal to fear from the athletes I
t Chapman. I
The same day the meet will be
cid here, part of the Fifth dis
let meet will be held at Concor-

KANSAS WHEAT OUTLOOK GOOD
Corn Acreage Less This Year. State
Board Reports

The Kansas board of Agriculture
today issued q report on the states
winter wheat and corn, which To- Id
part:
winter wheat-Conditions and
outlook for growing winter wheat
are very flattering, considering the
state as Q whole. On the total 81
$4,000 acres the condition averages
se.B,- the highest for April reported
since 1908, and this too on rec
ord-breaking acreage. Growers es-
timated last fall that the total area
sown would amount to about $780,
600 acres. Thus II is seen that the
loss up to this time amounts to less
than per cent.
The wheat generally came through
the winter with less injury than for
years before and In most localities
afforded valuable pasturage, some
farmers reporting that the worth Of
this was greater than the cost of
blowing, seed and seeding. This
spring, however, more or less dam
age was done by dry weather and
high winds in some of the western
counties. In the eastern three-fifths
of the state the wheat generally
looks so well 1t is believed that
practically none will be plowed up,
although overpasturing has reduced
prospects in new fields, while some
reporters exhibit concern over
stands they believe too thick and
growth that is too rank. Taking into
the total acrease the infes-
tation of the pests reported is so
as to scarcely justi-
fy mention.
The report is based on the situa-
ton existing Saturday, April 25.
Corn.-It is too early for figures
Of any considerable Importance on

counties say mo" and reporters in

a most flattering report on the result
of their work when completed. While
there has been deep interest and con-
siderable enthusiasm manifested in the
construction of the new north and south
state highway. there has also been
many misgivings ON the part of some
as to the road from Whitebird to
Grangeville and whether or not sat
isfactory grade could be secured.
All of those doubts held by those %
a pessimistic turn. have been dispelled
by the excellent work of the surveying
crew, who report that they have secur-
ed maximum five per cent grade
from the Salmon valley to the prairie
which can be made into regular auto
mobile boulevard, and that there will
be no grade Of over five per cent be
tween Grangeville and the Meadows
The survey from Whitebird comes up

twenty lone miles. Down the Salmon

STRUCK FINE EoDY OF ORE ON
RANCH

Fred Smith and brother Charles were
In Wednesday from the Ten Mile coun-
try and took dinner with the Com
mercial club. where the former made a
booster talk. The brothers came out
Via Harpster, and examined the strike
OF rick ore made few days ago on
the w. e. Sillivan ranch two miles Thu
side OF Harpster. The lead which wa
uncovered while digging an irrigation
ditch on the ranch. is four feet in
width and is rich in copper and gold
and gives promise of wealth to its dis.
cOverer.
Fred says the Buckhorn mine In the
Ten Mile country, is grinding good re-
turns out every day now with its little
Chilean mill, and the Anaconda mill is
also running under the direction of his
brother Charles, and is making an ex-
cellent showing.
