Never Saw the Like. From the Kansas City Times. Every one who comes to Kansas City from Kansas these days has his own particular stock of stories to tell £b&ut the wonderful crops in that state. Among the Sunflower pil grims who landed in the city on Sat urday, was Charlie Barrett, the good- looking and talkative traveling pas senger agent of the Missouri Pacific. He had spent four or five days in Southern Kansas, and his mouth was going at the rate of f>00 revolutions a minute about crops, when lie was flagged by a Times man on Main street. “What!” he exclaimed, “you never saw the like! The farmers down in Southern Kansas had to rent the pub lic roads to get room enough to stack the wheat. Wasn’t room enough in the fields to hold the stacks. I saw one ” “How is the fruit crop?” “Fruit! You never saw the like! Apples as big as cannon balls, grow ing in clusters ns big as hay slacks. I saw one apple tree that ” “Don’t the trees break down ?” “Trees! You never saw the like? The farmers plant sorghum in the orchards and the stalks grow up like telegraph pole.? and supported the limbs. I saw one stalk of sorghum that was two feet ” “How is the broom corn crop?” “Broom corn! You never saw the like! There hasn’t been a cloudy dny in Southern Kansas for a month. Can’t cloud up. The broom corn grew so high that it kept tho clouds swept of! the face of the sky as clear ns a new floor. They will have to cut the corn down if it gets too dry. Some of the broom cornstalks are so high that ” “How is the corn crop ?" “Corn! Yon never saw the like! Down in the.Neosho and Fall river and Arkansas bottoms, the corn is as high as a house. They use step-lad ders to gather roasting cars.” “Aren’t step-ladders pretty expen sive ?” “Expensive! Well, I should say so; but that isn’t the worst of it. The" trouble is-that the children climb lip into the cornstalks to hunt for eagles’ nests, and some times fall out and kill them selves. Fourteen funerals in one county last week from that entfse. I attended all of tltcm. That is why I - am so sad.. And, miml you, the corn is not more than half grown. A man at Arkansas City lias invented a machine which lie calls ‘The .Solar Corn Harvester and Child Protector.’ It is inflated with gas like a balloon and floats over the corn tops, and the occupants reach down and cut oil the ears of corn with a cavalry saber. Every Kansas farmer lias a cavalry saber, and ” “Do they make much eider in Kansas ?" “Cider! -You never saw the like! Oceans of it! Most of the farmers in Crowley county have tilled their cis terns with cider. A proposition was made a few days since to the water works company of Arkansas City to supply the town with cider throng the ninius, but the company was com pelled to decline because they were afraid the cider would rust the pumps. They were sorry but they said they would have to continue to furnish water, although it cost more. I saw one farmer who ” “How is the potato crop'!” "Potatoes! You never saw the like! A man in Sedgwick county dug a potato .the other day that was so big lie used the cavity it grew in for a cellar. I saw one' potato that "The people must be happy over their big crops ?” “Happy ! You never saw the like! I know men in the Arkansas valley who were too poor this time last year tff flag a bread wagon, and now they have pie three times a day. One fell«w that ” But the reporter, just at this point, had a pressing engagement elsewhere. J. s. iReal Estate-Agent, thohasvhjIiB, ga.
