During the war the government set
the price of hogs at $13 per cwt., when
corn was valued at $1.00 per bushel
This ratio has been quite generally
proven to be correct by experiment
stations and farmers who have kept
costs records. The bulk of hogs are
selling at $3.50 per cwt. at South st

steady. This would make corn worth

Fat lambs figured at $500 per cwt
would make corn worth 81 cents pei

Butterfat is worth 40 cents per pound

THE HARVEST SEASON IS ON

Everybody is doing it. The har-s
vest season is on and is running along
in full force The first wheat for 1921
was cut in this county last week but
the bulk of the farmers did not COM
mence their harvest until this week
and now they are all pushing the work
along as fast as they can. There has
been a little shortage of men up to
the present but all farmers are gradu-
ally finding help and will be able to
take care of their crop by the end of
another week. There is a good class
of men coming in this year and there
are very few of the I. w. W. class so
far The wages being paid are from
four to five dollars. A rate of eight
dollars was reported for territory
south of WaKeeney but investigation
showed that only one or two men
were receiving that amount and they
were furnishing themselves and some
horses at that price. The farmers can
not afford to pay big wages this year
and the are not going to be held up.
They will let the poorest of the crop
stand in the field before they will cut
it at loss. Others will cut with one
barge rather than to pay the big
wages. There are some fields of first
class wheat in this county but the
larger percentage of it will not make
over ten bCS shells per acre, while some
of it has been hailed out and other
fields blown out or dried out. This
viii cut the total yield down to con-
siderably less than half of the 1920
crop.

NO MORE FREE LICENSES

The last season of the legislature
slipper one over" on the states "old
soldiers" as well as the veterans Of
the world war. The legislature de-
MED these men the privilege of free
hunting licenses. It may even be
wondered if the legislators think they
accomplished something to chuckIe
over when they return to the farm.
: Kenneth Raub, deputy county clerk,
made the first public discovery of this
fact when the new 1921 session laws
were handed to him for distribution.
The legislature amended paragraph
1929 of chapter ~ of the Laws of
1915 and carefully omitted the SEN
tence: "Such licenses shall be issued
| to any honorably discharged soldiers
or sailors of the United States free of
charge" 1t is also necessary to have
license to trap, under the amended
law.-State journal, June 9th

FORD CAR STOLEN

Monday morning when the members
of the F. G.. WoIIner family went out
to crank up their Ford they found
there was no Ford there to crank
They had left it in the garage the
night before but during the hours
when all people ought to be asleep,
someone entered the garage and took
it away According to the tread the
same parties who took the Ford also
too two cases of eggs from III. J..
Hille and some gasoline from ]. c.
Cortright Mr. Hille is of the opinion
that the person who stole the car
came to his barn first with the inten-
ton of taking his car, but finding 1T
somewhat out of order and not de-
string to stop for repairs, they went
to Mr. WolIner's and took a new
Ford which did not need repairing
The car was locked but little thing
like that did not bother a good me-
chanic. The wiring was changed so
that it could be used without a key.
After getting Mr. Wollner's car the
parties returned to Mr.. Hille's barn
and got two cases of eggs which he
had just brought in from the ranch,
then loaded up on Mr.. Cortright's gas
oline and hit the high places for
parts unknown. At this writing no
trace of the theft has been found.
