Money Can Not Be Raised.
Special to Times Republican.
Villisca, Nov. 7.-As the time ap-
proaches for the sale under orders of
the federal court, of the Atlantic South
ern railroad, the people along the line
have less and less hope of seeing the
railroad rejuvenated and fear that it
will go the way Of all junk. a far cry
from the exciting period a few years
ago when former Secretary Of the
Treasury Leslie M. Shaw expended
nearly 100000 in cash and much time
IN an effort to buy the railroad, which
at that time also included the Atlantic
Northern, which is still in successful
operation from Atlantic north to Kim
ballton.
The blow falls the hardest upon the
people Of Mortons Mills and other small
towns between Villisca and Atlantic.
These successful communities have
strained every resource In an effort to
get the road into operation and recently
committees have been busy securing
subscriptions to plan to buy and oper-
ate the line. but the sum subscribed.

Enoou raging Rye Cultivation.

The tendency in the last few years
toward the spread Of rye culture In
the United States has led the depart,
ment Of agriculture to issue treatise
on. the subject which has Just becnt
published and is being distributed to,
farmers asking for It. The United
States last year produced It's record
crop OF rye. harvesting 100000 bush
els. American production Ia only Z,
per cent Of the worlds production. The
department experts point out that
there are many excellent reasons for
growing rye on the farm even tho in
most localities It is less profitable as al
grain crop than wheat. Rye Is hartli-..
er and can. therefore, be grown ~ a
winter grain In cold, exposed places,
1t will do well on sandy. poor. or acid,
land and may be sown later than
wheat. 1t Is attacked by fewer insects
and diseases than wheat, produces a
valuable straw. requires less fertilizer
and being earlier Is better as a forage
crop. In some sections production val
ue per acre from rye actually exceeds
that OF wheat. This was true in tho
five-year period from 1910 to 1914 In
South Carolina Alabama, Texas. Min
nesota, North Dakota and South Da-
kota.
