With the single exception of the
rye crop these figures show a less
acreage sown in 1920 than in 1919 and
yet there is not an abandoned farm
nor any tract of any size of unculti-
waited land in the county which was
under cultivation last year. There
are not many acres in pasture this
year as there were last year. Why,
then the difference as shown by the
figures Here it is: There were
thousands of acres of volunteer wheat
in the country last fall and this
and which the farmers did not know
would ever amount to anything. They
left it standing just to see what it
would do. If it did not produce a
land and have it in shape for wheat
next fall Hence, while the figures
show that there We're fifty acres less
wheat sown last fall than there were
the fall before, there are several
thousands more acres of wheat in the
country now than there was in 1919.
When livestock is considered we
find there is a greater number in the
county this year than there We're last
year excepting in hoses and mules
mich cows, dairy heifers and calves
and dogs There were 2O7 less dogs
reported in 1920 than. in 1919 We
present the following fior117eS

Inc n2ureS on the dairy products
are very interesting and are consid-
erably higher than for 1919, not alone
because there was so much more of it
produced but because the price re-
ceived for it was so much higher
There were 4S, 64S pounds of home
butter reported sold. The total val
ue of milk and cream sold was S119.-
651; milk and cream by products, S.
228- There were 983 cream separa-
and Sc tractors.
The value of poultry and eggs sold
was $1O1 ,812; the value of the ami
mails fattened and slaughtered for sale
was $183,575. There We're 12,4O9
pounds of woods sold which brought
$4,1OO about "a cents per pound.
There were 467 farmers reported
as owning their farms, 128 as part
owners and renters, and 296 as rent
ers The county has a population of
6,O12 in 1919 and CLOG in 1920.
The figures relating to the value of
cream, poultry and eggs and other
farm products and animals sold are
not absolutely correct as too many of
account of the money received and
expended by them and only estimate
1T when the assessor calls on them.
The majority of the farmers are more
inclined to underestimate these figures
than they are to overestimate them.
hence the real value of farm products
sold is considerable higher than that
| which is reported.

w. S. TILTON HONORED

Capt. w S. Tilton who was editor
of the Farmer from 1890 until 1896,
was last week elected department
commander of the G. A R. of Okla
homa, at the state encampment held
at Blackwell. Capt. Tilton was one
of the most vigorous writers in Kan
sas in the day when he edited the
Farmer, being then in his prime. He
was a man who keep posted on the
political issues of the day and was at
all times a coura geous exponent of
Republicanisnn. Osborne county was
a hotbed of populism in the days when
Capt. Tilton ran the Farmer and feel
ing ran high in political campaigns
in those days. All of the old timers
in and around Osborne remember him
and all will be pleased to learn of the
honor that has come to him. Capt.
Tilton makes his home at Anadarko,
and publishes the Anadarko Tri-
bune.-Osborne Farmer
Mr.. Tilton' was at one time citizen
of WaKeeney and publisher of the
Western Kansas World and what it
said of him by the Osborne Farmer
can be vouched for by the pioneer
settlers of WaKeeney as being also
true regarding him while he was
resident of this city.

j. M. Hanson, president; Morris Eg
gen, secretary-treasurer Axel Ander-
son, Pete Moe and Mark Leversee.
They also brought the matter up of
selling the balance of stock. On &C.
count of bad roads and the severe
weather much could not be done
along that line but as soon as the
weather permits and the roads are
passable, men will canvass the county
Thoroughly to sell the balance of the
stock.
The board raised $4,000. 90, the bal
ance due Mr.. johnson, the former

Guard Against Influenza

Just at this time last year, the peO-
pie of Sisseton, and Roberts County
in general, were in panic and justly
so, on account of the influenza epi
demic. That epidemic was one of tho
worst in history. Made so to great
extent by the peoples own carlessness
and thoughtlessness.
This year few more cases are put
ting in an appearance. not in this coun
ty but in this site. But if you people OF
Sisseton are going to continue to ex
pectorate in public palces, cough and
sneeze without covering the mouth
or nose, have you any guarantee that
influenza will not make it's appear
ance here?
many of you great deal of money,
but more than that it cost many,
many lives Each one of you know
worked hard to stamp out the disease.
When the horse was out of the stable
you locked the door. Why not use
extra bolts this year and keep him in?
Each man and woman has only to
take it upon his or her conscience to
see that the vile. filthy habit of spit
ting in public places is stopped right
here and now. In no other was was
the influenza spread, than by people
splitting, coughing and sneezing pro-
miscuously.
You spit in the railroad station, in
tie post Office, in the street DO you
who are guilty Of this vile habit, SPIT
on the floors of your homes? When
ever see a man or woman splitting on
the street or other public places, ]
immediately reach the conclusion
that they are persons of general un-
clean habits. II tuberculosis has a
lower percentage in this county .Lan
in other counties it is only by the
grace ct Cc.i ana not by your fore
sight or vigilance.
Does 1t not seem foolish and waste
of money, to pay public health
nurse to safe guard the health OF
your children. when you yourselves
are menacing the health Of those
same children?
