I'm FARM DISTRICT
Vesper Is Thriving Town in
Lincoln County.
Big Crops Bring Prosperity to
Little Community.

Vesper, Kan, Feb. 1S.-The three
elevators here have been busy taking
care of the 1915 wheat and corn crop
raised in Lincoln county tributary to
Vesper. Up to this time more than
AGO. 900 bushels of wheat has been
marketed here, and there are about
100000 more bushels yet to market.
The 1916 acreage will be not so large,
as farmers will plant more corn.
A Good Corn Crop.
The corn crop of 1915 was large,
and some of it has yielded so to 60
finds a market at home on account
of the cattle feeding. This part of
the Saline valley on account of the
big crops of corn and alfalfa is feed
ing many punches Of cattle. Bruce
and Wayne Middlekauff are feeding
700 head. Sam Brumbaugh and Dan
Haley are feeding 200 head, Cy Nc
Call has 700 head, and Irwin Taylor
80 head. Several others are feeding
smaller herds, aggregating total OF
more than $500 head. Besides the
country is well supplied with stock
cattle for grazing the coming sum-
mer. Feed lots are full of hogs.
Railroad Won't Change Trade.
Nesper is situated in the heart of
as rich a farming country as seen
anywhere. Her business men are so
firmly intrenched that the building of
the sauna x NOTLueTn TdllIOslu Will
have but little effect on the trade.
The town has three elevators with a
total capacity of $4,000 bushels, and
all of them are crowded with bust
ness.
Good School and Bank.
Three school districts consolidated
and built in Vesper one of the largest
and most substantial school houses in
Lincoln county, at cost of about
$4,000. The town and country has
built up a solid state bank. The state
Bank block, built of stone and brick
is one of the largest and most sub
stantial business buildings in north
west Kansas. 1t has a large opera
house in connection. This building
cost $4,000, and was dedicated by
Governor Hodges a year ago IN the
presence of a big crowd of people.
Is Solid Town.
Vesper has a lumber yard. two gar
ages, one general store of Jepsen &
Cromwell, and a hardware and imple-
ments by Powers & Morgensen. These
firms have built up a great business
which they expect TO hold long after
the Salina & Northern road is com
pleted to Osborne and Downs. Yes
per is one of the sClidest little towns
in this part of the state.
