LAND OF BIG CORN

land. While the gain sorghums are
always reliable, the additional labor
and expense in their harvesting are
important reasons for preferring corn
in the southwest where the soils are
best adapted to the crop. Fer the
greater portion of the southwest, the
grain sorghums have much the wider
adaptability, and are undoubtedly
more dependable, but there seems no
question that in certain soils Indian
corn has made a permanent place for
itself as a profitable crop in that
Proud of Their Schools
"As to educational opportunities,
one cannot help but be struck by the
splendid school buildings on every
hand. The new rural high school at
Satanic. which was dedicated last
week, is a handsome stucco structure
of steel and concrete. 1t cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000, with an addi-
tional outlay for equipment amounting
to $4,000. The population of Satanic
is about $50, but there were 600 peo-
pie attending the dedication meeting,
which shows the interest its patrons
are taking in this new institution. They
are proud of it, and have every right
to be.
THE Great Southwest Fair at
Dodge is a splendid exhibit of the pro-
of it's wonderful resources and IN
limited possibilities. The fair drew
people from all the counties of that
part of the state and the attendance
Wednesday,, when 1 was there, was
large. A feature that day was the pa
rade of school children. The floats
were excellent, and the youths of
school age certainly must make up the
greater part of the population.
No Race Suicide.
southwest, and there probably has
never been brought together anywhere
in the world a larger assembiage of so
physically fit school children as at
Dodge last Wednesday. They were
just about 100 per cent perfect. The
future of Kansas Isl bright with such
stock to take up the reinS a little later.
I'm my opinion one need of western
Kansas that would mean a great deal
to it if fulfilled is graded roads, both
east and west and north and south. It
is a region of ma gnificent distances
and transportation is a big item.
Graded roads could be constructed
cheaply and maintained at small cost.
In fact, believe if a well ordered plan
were systematically followed this
work might be done with the money
now spent in a more or less haphazard
manner. With good graded roads in
all directions, the country would be
bisected with highways approximating
boulevardS, of ineStirna BILE. value to the
farmers, who in many instances must
haul their products long distances.
Yes indeed. western Kansas is up
and coming and it's future looms
