TO CATCH COUNTERFEITERS
Santa Fe Ticket Agents Will Be In.
structed as Sleuths

Beginning in the September issue
Of Ticket Agent Talks" a publica-
ton put out by the Santa Fe for the
use of its ticket sellers on the sys-
tenn, a regular list Of the counterfeit
bank notes in circulation in the cOun-
try will be run, according to infOrma-
ton received at the local Santa Fe
office. While ticket sellers handle
enough money that they are keen on
detecting spurious notes, it is said
that with an ever increasing number
Of bad notes in circulation every pos
siblc means to aid ticket men would
be extended.
In one issue of the publication a
list of federal reserve counterfeit
notes was run. The list Of notes sent
out by the American Detective
Agency each" month is too long to
print in one issue and a special col
umn in the paper will be devoted to
the bad money problem that ticket
sellers may have a list at hand to
look up the description Of all the
spurious notes In circulation.

PUT OFFICE FARTHER WEST
Union Pacific Employees Are II
Trouble

| Wage differences between the
Union Pacific and some of its train
crews may result in moving of the
freight division from Salina to some
western Kansas point, or through
freights from Junction City to Ellis
will be operated, as an alternative.
Reports Of the proposed change are
current here, on reliable information.
Some time ago the train crews
asked that the Junction City Salina
run be regarded as 100 miles and
paid for as such. The Union Pacific
refused, and the matter was taken up
with federal wage board at Wash
ington. This board granted the in
crease.
Now, 1t is reported, the Union Pa
cific is planning to extend the d.
vision in order that the men will
actually run the 100 miles they have
been granted pay for. and 1t is ex-
pected that IL the freight division
is moved the men will run from
Junction iCty to KanOpolis, or Ellis
worth.
1t is said that under the new wage
ruling, swing crews between juno
ton City and Salina can make the
trip two or three times day, earn
ing $50 to $50. The increase proba-
bly, will be given to the enginemen
as well.

HOLD TO THEIR WHEAT


Farmers are now Withholding from
market approximately 100000, OO(
bushels OF wheat long since harvest
ed, according to the best estimates
Obtainable from government sources
"They want to be in position tO
take advantage Of any increase In
price that may occur" said Grain FIX
pert Beasley Of the bureau Of mar
kets.
Wheat now is selling around $3.50
per bushel. Reports have long per-
sisted that 1t may go to SO.
According to unofficial estimates
here is the record Of the 1920 wheat
crop, spring and winter, to date:
Wheat harvested, 74O,94O, 900
bushels or about 93.2 per cent Of the
estimated crop Of 795 100000 bush
els.
Carry over from 1919-4S,OO0, 900
bushels by farmers alone.
Sales by farmers, 2O0,0O0,OOO
bushels, perhaps only 16O,O0O,0OO
bushels, or only about One-half as
much as sales to this time in 1919.

EARLY FLOWING Is-TnE BEST
Dickinson Farmers Get Advice From
Experts

Highest wheat yields under con
tinuous cropping are produced BY
early tillagc treatments, but II seem,
to make little difference whether III,
treatment be blowing or listing n
July, disking In July and blowing IN
August. This information has beer
mailed to many Dickinson farmers
This is one Of the conclusions dra WI
from "A 10-year tillage project com.
pleted this year by the agrnomy de.
partment Of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. 1t Is one Of the old
est projects OF the kind conducted
by an experiment station. Other con-
illusions from the continuous crop
ping project announced by l.. Il. Call,
agronomist, follow:
Early blowing is preferable TO
early listing In eastern Kansas.
Listing In July produces about the
same yield as disking in July and
blowing in August or In September.
Splitting listed ridges does not In
crease the yield.
Early listing is preferable to late
blowing.
When fields are cropped cOntinu-
ously to wheat, blowing to a depth
Of six or seven inches in July gives
much better results than blowing to
a depth Of only three inches in July.
Supplementing this tillage work
where wheat has been cropped con-
there has also been
conducted a rotation Of corn, oats
md wheat In which the land is plow-
ID for wheat various depths and
iates From this project 1t was
'ound again that early preparation
Increases the yield over late prepar-
ltion, but that early shallow blowing
PRODUCES as high yields as early deep
blowing The latter is at variance
With results obtained in continuous
ropping to wheat. The rotation
hns occasions a decided economy in
illage costs.
The difference In yields Of wheat
nder continuous cropping was IL
again proving the great
alue Of the rotation crops. Under
ientical dates and depths of plow-
ne the yields were from to II
ushels per acre greater under rota-
ion than they were under contin-
Gus cropping.
