The acreage of broom corn in 1920 was
25O5 and in 1921 only 7S9 acres have
been planted.
Sugar beets take fifth rank in total
acreage, but will take a much higher
pl.ce in total return--most likely just
below wheat and alfalfa. The sugar
beet acreage of the valley is larger
than last year in all counties except
Otero, where most of il is manufactur-
ed.
Beans. which during the war look
ed as if they might become a leading
crop of the valley have dwindled to
small proportions, and two other one
time great favorites, speltz and millet,
have almost disappeared from the list
of crops planted. There were less than
one hundred and fifty acres of either
crop reported to the valley assessors
for this season.
The poultry industry of Prowers
county shows a gain of over thirty
per cent, and in spite of the heavy
losses in the great June flood is rap
idly developing into a wealth producer
for those who engage extensively in
it.
The increase of 10000 acres in culti-
waited area in Prowers county is prac-
tically all in the non-irigated section,
and the development now being made
in that line makes it evident that the
increase for the season of 1922 will
far exceed that of the past year.

FREIGHT RATE HEARING
Western Industries to Get Hearing in

The Interstate Commerce Commits

special hearing next week in Washing

tries that have been asking for an op-
portunity to present evidence in re
gard to the unfairnesg of the freight
rates to eastern market points on their
products. There has been a vigorous
effort for some time to secure this
hearing and the prospects now look
very favorable. Prowers county as
one of the largest producers of al
falfa hay and meal in the world is
very deeply interested in this hearing
and will be well represented should it
be held as proposed.

CHAMPIONSHIP CINCHED
Lamar While Not Playing Gains
League Championship.
Bent-Prowers League Standing:

The Las Animas team has announc-
ed its inability to complete its share
of the schedule of the Bent Prowc,-s
Base Ball League and the Lamar Hol-
ly and Fort Lyon teams decided to
finish the schedule as agreed. This
gave Lamar an off day Sunday and
strange TO say while not playing they
won the championship. Fort Lyon and
Holly now have only three games each
to play and should either team win
all three of its games and Lamar lose
all four on its schedule they would
still be one game short of Lamar's
standing. Previous to Sunday Holly
still stood show of making it tie
score, but the sailors defeated them
Sunday at Fort Lyon thus cinching
Lamars championship. The score was
6 to 3.
The Lamar team played a practice
game with West Farm winning by a
score of TO l and West Farm then
defeated Hartman by score of 2 to /.
The Lamar team will play Holly
Sunday at Holly and on the 2lst will
play Fort Lyon here. The home team
has another open date Sunday, August
2s, and has chance to date a game
with either Pueblo or Trinidad for
that occasion. The Lamar team has
been carefully managed. and has play
ed n fine game this seiason and the
receipts are keeping well up with the

ROUNDUP OF BOOTLEGGERs
Syracuse Has Biggest Catch in the
History of the Valley.

For several years Syracuse has had
the reputation of being the wettest
town in Kansas, but it is all changed
almost over night and even the con-
firmed drinkers are now as afraid to
look upon the beverage that cheers
and likewise inebriates as the most
august preacher. The assistant at
torney general of state accompanied
by some deputy U. s. marshals arrived
in the city suddenly last week, and
commenced by deposing and arresting
the chief deputy sheriff. After that
they gathered in a large collection of
"drunks," and through a mighty bluff
convinced them that il was either tell
or lay indefinitely in jail, and most
of them began to tell, right now. They
talked plenty too, and as a result
the jail was soon full of bootleggers
and booze. Thirty gallons of whiskey
were captured at the England farm
south of Coolidge and one of the al
legged makers of it was taken in at
Holly. He refused to go to Kansas
without requisition papers at first, but
later decided to go and was taken down
on Monday by Sheriff John A. Simp-
son.

ARK ANSAS VALLEY FARM FACTS
Prov ers County Leads in Irrigation
Farming and Baca County in
Non-lrrigated Farming.

The various county assessors have
now filed their annual reports showing
the various crops Of the different coun-
ties Of the valley, and other statistics
regarding operations ON the farms Tor
the year 1921.
These figures show that while Prov
ers county easily maintains her front
rank as the greatest irrigation county
of the southern part of the state, the
non-irrigated farming Of Baca county
has developed so rapidly in the past
year that in the crops that can be
raised by that method Of agriculture
che threatens to take the lead as she
has already taken it in the total acre
age in cultivation and number of farm
ere.
OF the irrigated counties Bent and
Prowers each have increased their
cultivated acreage by 10000 acres and
Otero has dropped down 10000 acres
as compared with 1920. Otero is now
in third place. Baca county which
has heretofore held first place in acre
age of broom corn and sorghums, now
also takes the same rank In corn
wheat and barley.
All countie. have largely increased
their wheat acreage. Bent By lO.ooo
acres, Otero by 1900 ard Prowers By
81 900. Both Bent and Prowers coun-
ties have also largely increased their
corn acreage. The big increase IN
wheat acreage is not all dry land as
the irrigated acreage in Prowers coun-
ty for 1921 is almost as large as the
entire acreage last year, there being
l2.745 acres of winter wheat and D.
725 acres of spring or 1870 alto
gether in irrigated wheat this year
against about 10000 acres for 1920.
The non-irrigated wheat is about
equally divided, 1926 acres of winter
and l5,49O of spring Wheat has sup
planted alfalfa as king in Prowers
county as IS per cent of the cultiVat-
ed acreage of the county this year is
in wheat. Alfalfa is second to wheat
Pnu on the ifriBateu hihu SN
a considerable lead as its acreage oil
2s,41O is all on irrigated lands. This
is about 1900 acres less than in 1871.
OF non-irrigated crops sorghums rank
next to wheat and corn holds third
place in both classes Of land, 9,772
rcres of irrigated and 1857 acres of
non-irigated.
The total acreage of land cultivated
in 1921 in Prowers county is almost
exactly divided between the two classes
of farming, there being over 7l,OOO
acres of each. Our non-irrigation
farmers seem to have lost their liz
ing for broom corn as it has taken the
largest drop of any crop but sorghums.

CITY FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Definite Statement of Bonded and
Other Indebtedness of City
of Lamar.

We publish on another page the BIZ
annual statement of City Treasurer E.
A. Lundgren showing expenditures
and cash balances as well as the ex-
act outstanding indebtedness of the
city of all classes at the close of the
two year administration on April 7th,
last. There was only one fund that
had warrants registered against it, the
light plant construction and there was
cash in the fund to pay all of those
warrants.
The bonded indebtedness totaled
S525, 10000. OF this amount, however.
$4,000 were against sidewalk districts
that were confined to certain sections
and provided for by special assess
ments, and $56,5OO were sewer bonds
also provided for by assessments
against the property in the district.
This leaves bonded indebtedness
against the entire city outstanding as
follows:
Refunding bonds - "a, 10000
Water bonds for water
system ............. .....-.......... 1876 10000
Electric light and water
bonds for new plant ...... 245.OOO.OO
lotal ..---.---.-...-.s-----..s.....S4 S4o4 iUO.OO
The annual interest charge will in
the future be about 27,5OO, and the
only chance to reduce this, the city's
largest expense account, is to raise a
sinking fund to pay off some of the
Indebtedness. According to the state
ment there are now two funds for this
purpose amounting to sl3 500 and they
are drawing interest until such time
as they can be used to pay off some
of the bonds.
The expenditures Of the city govern
ment for the past two years have
been the largest in this history of the
city owing to the purchase and re-
building of the Intermountain light
and power plant. The expenditures
Of the various funds have been as fol-
lows:

HEAVY EXPORT BUSINESS CAUSES MUCH STRENGTH
 IN CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
By Associntcd Press

Chicago, March l5.-Estimates that export business totalling 50oOOoo bush els had been done in the last 4S hours gave considerable strenEthAo the wheat market today. The close was unsettled to A@2he net lower, with March s1.55 F G 1.55%. and May $1.4s% @1,49. Corn gained % %q1 hc. and oats B O sc. In provisions the outcome was un- changed to 10 cents higher.
 Traders who havoc been up to re- gently identified with the selling side of the wheat market were big buyers today and especially so on every down | turn. Sentiment in faVcor of the bull side gathered force chiefly from the unusual amount of export business, which had suddenly developed but a good deal of notice was also taken of
 renewed misgivings about crop damage from green bugs in the southwest Ir this connection, the state entomologist Of Oklahoma was quoted as saying that, according to present indications, there was only one chance in ten that Okla homa's growing crop of small grain would escape being destroyed. Gossip, l however, that Argentine wheat was coming to New York, lead to some- thing of a bear reaction at the last.
 Corn and oats borrowed strength from wheat, and were also bullishly af | fected by falling off in receipts of corn. Provisions, although at first weakened by a break in hog values. rallied afterward in sympathy with grain.
