DOHERTYS BACK

Wichita Company Repudlates
Promises Made by General
Manager Diescher.
STATE OFFICIALS AROUSED
Further Conference With Natural Gas
Men May Be Refused-Te
Continue Rate Fight.

The Dohertys have repudiated all
the promises Of A. J. Diescher, general
manager of the Doherty properties in
Kansas and Oklahoma, according to
information that came to the public
utilities commission, S. NJ. Brewster,
attorney general, and Gov. Capper re-
Gently. The promises were made
verbally by Mr.. Diescher to the three
members of the commission at Otta-
wa three weeks ago.
These promises were:
The dismissal of the receivership
OF the Kansas Natural. The dismissal
Of the federal suits to prevent the en-
forcement of the twenty-eight cent gas
rate.
A new application for increased
rates to be made later and based upon
the business and service to be fur
nished by the Dohertys.
That Mr.. Diescher made these prom
Uses in good faith is not doubted,
but since they were made the Doher-
tvs have changed their minds and now
they insist that the public utilities
commission make an agreement as to
the future rates before any further
action is taken. This proposition has
been fatty and definitely refused by
the commission, the attorney general
and the governor. There will be nc
agreement made upon any future
rates. The state will insist that the
new company start into a rate mat
ter with clean hands, without contin
gencies or promises.
Mr.. Diescher and c. A. Frueauff, at
torney for the Dohertys, are now on
their way to New York to try to per
suade the high officials of the com
pany that the promises were made in
good faith and should be kept.

Truth is always the strongest argument.-Sophocles.
ANIMALS WITH CROPS.

Prices for livestock and livestock products have been unusually good recently. In fact, good prices have in general prevailed since times began to revive after the beginning of the European war. Hogs and beef cattle are especially high at this season of the year, although doubtless, as sta tistils indicate, there are more of these animals on farms than a year or two ago.
 This should be encouragement. for those who have been depending upon crops alone for their farm income % get desirable breeding stock and be- gin raising animals. This seems the logical thing to do even though ami mala were worth no more than usual It is fact that animal husbandry with crop growing is the safest sys- tenn for those not specialists in pro ducing certain highly speciali1ed crops But it should be remembered tha, preparations will be necessary for animal raising. Animals will re- Quire feed, shelter and pasture, a sIlo perhaps To begin with expensive pure-bred breeding stock without some attestion to the essentials for success, feed and cares is almost sure to bring disappointment. This will likely cause greater investment both as to the animals and facilities for raising them, but if these matters arc planned carefully there are reasons Tor expecting greater profits. When once preparations for pasture, silo, barn. feeds, etc. are made there will be little upkeep needed and the busi- nes3 can be increased gradually until upon a safe and sound basis.
 Raising livestock will not permit of radical changes such as crop growers often make from year to year. 1t re- qulIes a permanent system with def- mite, dependable plans. But it is worth such plans, if intelligently pur- Sued,--Farm and Ranch.

GOATS AND SHEEP

Arkansas could well afford to intro- duce in the next ninety days a million goats and half as many sheep. Of course 1t would be impossible to get that many but Dean J. H. Miller of the Extension Division of the Uni versity of Arkansas and U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture believes that this IS golden opportunity for Arkansas. Wool is higher than for many, many years, 38 to 42 cents per pound, and sheep will be profitable for a long time. They are worth their keep as cleaners. Goats are worth buying for cleaning up the thousands of acres of hill and timber lands and getting them ready for sheep and for the seeding of grasses and clovers. The young and the clips from the goats and the sheep will return a good profit, It will pay farmers 10 look into the sheep and goat business right now. Write for information.
