crop prospects
continue to beat
A LITTLE RAIN NOW WOULD
PUT COUNTY BEYOND THE
DANGEIt MARK.
COTTON 3 WEEKS LATE
Condition, However, Is Fine, and
I'lunt is Well Squared—Corn
100 Percent.
Crop prospects continue the best
that Pottawatomie county has ever
seen, and a little rain soon will put
the county beyond the danger of
even a partial failure. There
now, In some sections, where the
soil was not in condition to hold
the moisture, a need of an imme
diate shower. In practically all
parts of the county, however, the
growing cropB have not shown the
least signs of lack of moisture.
Cotton Is Late.
Cotton is about three weeks late,
but is In fine condition.
"The cotton plant will not be
large this year," said B. F. Ed
wards, who has a 60 acre crop
northwest of the city, "but the
stalks are vigorous, and squares
are forming in great profusion
One of the biggest crops of cotton
I ever saw grew on Just such
plants as we are going to have this
year." Mr. Edwards also stated
that the leaf lice that had Infested
the cotton weer leaving, without
doing much damage.
Hardy Dial of Tecnmsch said
that cotton is fully three weeks
late, but is growing rapidly and
Is beginning to bloom. The pros
pects are for a heavy fruitage.
It la the opinion of William Kel-
ler of Clarke & Keller, that the
present condition of the crop indi-
cates a good yield. "You don't
need a great lot of weed to a cot-
ton plant to get a good crop. A
Hmall plant can bear enough fruit
to produce a big yield/'
Corn Is 100 %.
Corn Is still in 100% condition.
Much of the crop is beginning to
Hllk and tassel, and could not look
better. Little has shown any bad
effects from lack of moisture, and
a little more rain should carry it
through to maturity.
Lota of Alfalfa.
Trainloads of alfalfa are being
shipped out of Shawnee, and the
price is said to be advancing to the
vicinity of $10 per ton, for first
class bright hay. This morning ten
cars weer loaded on the Rock
Island, and others will be filled as
fast as they are set. Much of the
crop is being bought by Shawnee
people, and will be used here,
■neb Feed te be Raised.
More feed will probably be raised
iu the county thlB yoar than any
previous year. Such as has been
planted is in first class condition,
and a large acreage is yet to be
put in Many farmers are prepar-
ing to build silos so as to get the
full value of their crops in winter
feeding

Jno. W. Jones, cashier of the
Shawnee National Bank, has Just
returned from a three days' trip
throughout Pottawatomie county,
and reports conditions up to this
timo very flattering indeed.
Cotton Is far above the average;

and blooming right along. Corn Is

first decision
on liquor seizure
and
JUDGE SPARKS HOLDS THAT IT
SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN
INTO COURT.
Friday evening Judge D. P.
Sparks delivered what is believed
to be the first decision rendered in
the state since the enactment of
the Webb law, as to the rights of
the sheriff to destroy liquors seized
before reaching its destination,
without a trial.
The decision was In a case in
which J. S. McAlester, a hardware
merchant of Asher, sued the U. S.
Express Co., Sheriff McColgan and
Deputy Sheriff Ge .o Banther for
$13.65 for tbree gallons of whlBkey,
consigned to him, taken from the
express office by Banther and de-
stroyed. The judge gave the plain-
tiff judgment, on tho theory that
the liquor had been destroyed with-
out any any adjudication of the
matter; that every person has his
day In court, and the liquor should
have been brought Into court and
condemned before it was destroyed.
Under the evidence McAlester or-
dered the liquor from Betts &
Johnson at Ft. Smith, Ark., March
It was delivered to the express
company March 7, the Webb law
went Into effect March 8, and the
liquor was delivered to the office
of the express company at Asher
March 9, where It was Immediately
seized and destroyed. T. G. Cutllp
and McLain Taylor rcpreesnted Mc-
Alester, and Itoscoe Arrlngton ap-
peared for the sheriff. The case
will be appealed.
