A. Clark of Sharon Springs, Kansas who has been in the East on a visie for the past four weeks stopped in Olathe on his way home and is visiting with F. R. Lanter and family. Mr.

Clark has one of the best alfalfa ranches in western Kansas and is a successful stockman. He has resided in the western part of the state for many years and speaks well of his part of the state. Mr. Clark says that in Wallace county there are hundreds of acres of alfalfa growing where only a few years ago it was thought impossible to grow hay or crops of any kind. The farmers and ranchmen of his part of the state have learned how to handle their lands and have ceased trying to raise crops not adopted to the country.

The result is that the land is used for the purpose for which it is best adopted, and the country is prospering. F. W. RIFFEY, Plaintiff, by C. L.
