THE 'ORLEAHS-ST. FRANCIS BRANCH.
Special : Wheat on this branch is be
ing rapidly harvested. Acreage is large
in Rawlins , Red Willow and Furnns
counties. The records of the McCormick
and Deering Harvesting companies show
that more harvesters have been sold in
1898. than any other year since the rend
was built. The sale of headers luis been
larie at Alwood and Herndon. Wheat
has heavystrawand is well filled and the
yield will be heavy ; in many cases as high
as 40 bushels per acre. All crops are
doing well and the weather has been
ideal for filling spring wheat and the
growth of corn. The second crop of 1-
falfa is about ready to cut. The stock
shipments anrt freight traffic of this
branch are heavy. Altogether , this is
an 'deal year for farmers on the Orleans-
St. Francis branch.
Your corresoondent took a trip on the
Oxford and Kansas City branch as far
east as Gage county , Nebraska , on the
loth. He paid close attention to crops
and general prospects. The result of
his investigation proves beyond a doubt
that the corn conditions are 50 per cent
better in Rawlins county , Kansas , Red
Willow , Furnas , Harlan and Franklin
counties , Nebraska , than in southern
and southeastern Nebraska , while coin
in the counties above named is waist
high , and in some instances higher , dark
color , good stancl.even and doing well in
the counties mentioned. In the coun
ties of southern and southeastern Ne
braska , corn is uneven , yellow and stunt
ed as a general thing. The writer pre
dicts that southwestern Nel > rfs < ; i , ihis
year , will surprise everybody. t > > ec the
yield of corn and wheat. Southwesteri
Nebraska , in the language of a gentle
man travelling from California to Kan
sas City is the garden spot of all the
west. So chronic grumblers and whineis
paste this in your hat for reference and
next time you run down this part of the
state , read these lines and look in ihe
mirror and blush.
The hottest base ball game that has
been witnessed at Atwoocl for years was
pla3fed by the Atwood nine and the H &
M. boys. Batteries : B. & M. , Fatrchild
and Lyman ; Atwood , Nichols and Lee.
The score at the end of the fifth inning
stood 12 to 3 in favor of the Burlington
nine. Fairchild made two home runs
and five scores , Arthur Lyma.i a home
run , Ed. Lumberry two scores and A A.
Smith two. This was the record of the
Burlington team. Some heavy batting
was done and not a man took bases on
balls when Fairchild was in the box.
The work of Arthur Lyman was splen
did and the Burlington boys played well
together. The team is composed of
well-seasoned men with an average
weight of 160 pounds. Another game is
to be plaj-ed by the same teams. The
line-up of the Burliugtons will be as fol
lows : H. C. Fairchild , pitcher ; Arthur
Lyman , catcher ; Johnny Morrisy , ist
base ; Robert Gable , 2cl base , Albert
Nichols , 3d base ; Jack Cook , short stop ;
Ed. Lumberry , right field ; James Tom-
ilson , left field ; Will Tunley , center field.
It will be the most hotly contested game
of ball ever played in Atwood. The old-
timers say that last Monday's game was
the best they have seen for years. The
Atwood boys claim an easy victory , but
the railroad team will be in 50 per cent
better condition than in Monday's game
The crop acreage in Rawlins county is
as follows : Winter wheat , 48,946 acres ;
spring wheat , 13,504 ; a total of 62,250
acres ; corn , 39,550 ; rye , 7,192 ; barley ,
3,819 ; oats , 2,046 ; millet and Hungarian
grass , 4,007 ; potatoes , 550.
