Traveler
(JOHN 0. BAYNE)
Friday morning parly, after the fine
"tfcin Thursday, we started north aain,
and will nay that we never raw crops
look better any place than they do
her in Box Butte county at the pres
ent time. Everything sprinjc grain
and fall wheat la as Rood as can pos
sibly crow. Corn is looking good,
tout is small as yet; however, it is
coming fant and alfalfa could not be
better than it is. Some fields of puda
re up and look nice but the most of
them are not planted yet, but there
Is plenty of time for them.
The first place we stopped was at
fMT old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Jtowley, who came from the eame
county that we did or where we live
jjow when we aro at home. Frank
came hero from Hamilton county elev
en years ago and owns three hundred
and twenty acres of good land, four
and one half miles northwest of Berea
and has it nicely improved. They are
both well satisfied and think this the
beKt country to get a start in that
they know anything about. Frank
fcays that corn, hogs and alfalfa, with
cows and chickens, will take care of
anyone here. He has eighteen acres
of wheat, thirty of oats, forty of corn,
twenty-five of npudg and twenty of
cane and millet.
do well here it Is his own fault.
and twenty-five to pud. Mr. Iverfon
thinks that this is the bet place on
arth for a man to get a Ktnrt as
everything is in favor "f the poor
man. He can farm fo much more
lend here than mod place and rent
U rot po high and thj land will pro
line hs mucn here as in mo it jnaces.
It. J. Laeper came here from JeCer-
Fon county four years ago an I own:
three hundred acres one and irii-ha'f
njiles north of Borea. When anked ti c
mestion how he liked this count v m
compared with Jefferson. e said theie
was no comparison as m.js county nil
t beat a mile and that h wo ild ne er
go back there to farm, tie nns . i.e
hundred and forty-five acres of wheat.
wenty-five of coin, ten of : nnd
thirty of FpwU. Mr. Lapger could not
say enough for this Country nnd re
was talking from experience for he
had produced the goo.'a and knew what
he was talking about.
Ace Tippitt came here from Iowa
three years ago and pays that he would
toot go back there to live under any
circumstances, for he can' produce
more here than there and do it so
much cheaper, and that their health is
much better here. Ace is operating a
lection of land that belongs to our old
friend. Jake Moses of Aurora, and it
ia a mighty good farm, too. He has
two hundred and ten acres of winter
wheat, Kixty acres of Fpring wheat,
fcixty of oats, seventy of rpuds anil
thirty of cane and oats. Cane and oats
is a new mixture to us but Mr. Pippitt
tells us that it is the best fed that one
can raise and that horses will need no
grain while being fed on cane and oat
Fay and that it produces more feed
to the acre than any other crop. He
bays a! bo that ha can make more
money here than any place he ever
lived.
J. Anson Johns came here from
Wa.-hington county three years ago
and bought three hundred and twenty
acres of land that did not have a
stick on it, and now he has a nice
house and barn and one hundred and
thirty-five acres broke and in crop,
seventy acres to wheat, twenty-five to
corn, twenty-five to spuds and fifteen
to oats.. He says that he lfkes this
country much better than the eastern
part of the state and that he can pro
duce as many dollars per acre here
and do it much cheaper than he could
there, and that his family enjoys bet
ter health here. His farm is five and
one-half miles southeast of Heming-ford.
Henry Wehling came here from
Knox county one year ago and bought
one hundred and sixty acres, five miles
east and one south of Hemingford.
Henrv says that he would rooner have
this land than the land in Knox coun
ty for it will produce ns much and is
easier farmed, and he thinks that a
man with small means can do much
better here. He is farming this year
eighty-four acres to wheat, thirty to
corn, twenty-two to oats, twenty-rour
to rye and ten to spuds.
Lars E. Fodness came from Boone
county twenty-six years ago and owns
nine hundred Bnd sixty acres of land
and has two hundred and seventy
acres in wheat, sixty in oats, fifty in
corn, twenty-six in spuds and fifty in
alfalfa. He is keeping about fifty head
of cattle. Lars says that this is a
better place to make money than
Boone county with the same amount
invested.
V. H. Barrett came to this country
four years ago from Merrick county
and is operating one hundred and seventy-five
acres, eighty-five to wheat
that looked very good to us. He also
has thirty-two acres of oats, twenty
even of potatoes, fifteen of Budan
grass and sixteen of corn. He thinks
this is the pluce for a poor man, as
rent ia cheap and one can raise as
much here as farther east on the high
priced land, and he does not care to
go back east.
Henry VanBargen came to th
county thirty-two years ago from
' Minnesota without much capital, but
has accumulated eleven hundred and
twenty acres of good soil about eight
miles southeast of Heming.ford nnd is
one of the successful farmers of this
county. He has good substantial
buildings, one hundred and sixty acres
in wheat, fifty acres in corn, forty
acres in oats, twenty-five to spuds nn
has eight acres of god alfalfa. He
has reduced his herd of cattle but ha?
; thirty-five at the present time, also
thirty hogs. Mr. VanBargen tells us
that he paid from two dollars per acre
to twenty-five, but could have taken
I fifty for the entire tract if it had been
' for sale. He will not sell at anv nrice
1 as he would not know where to go to
better hirruelf for this country suit
him.
Ed. Schultx came here from Wis
consin nine years ago and owns eight
hundred acres, three hundred and fifty
of which are plowed and he is break
ing more. He uses a Twin-City trac
tor and pulls six plows. The rig cost
four thousand dollars, but it will do
the work of twelve horses and three
men. Ed. thinks this a great place to
make money, and says it beats any
thing in the east that he has seen,
lit has two hundred and twenty-five
acres of wheat, forty of oats, sixty
five of corn and forty-five of spuds.
Charles Moranville came from Mas
sachusetts seven years ago and is
Operating one hundred and four acres,
lie has not all of it plowed out, but
In breaking as fast as he can. He has
thirty acres to cane and corn and ten
to spuds. Charley says if a man don't
Charles W. Eggert has lived in this
county three years but this is the first
year of farming for himself. He likes
this country fine, although the farm-
. ing game is new to him for he was a
railroad man before coming here. If
you could look over the farm, you
would not believe that he was not al
ways a farmer for he is up with his
work and everything Is looking fine,
Mr. Eggert came here from Jefferson
county.
Saturday morning we drove out
north of Berea and the first stop was
with J. B. Iverson, whom we found in
the field plowing with a Fordson. We
had a very nice visit with him and
we learned that Mr. Iverson came to
this county twenty-eight years ago
and owns four hundred and seventy
acres one mile north of Berea. He is
farming two hundred and twenty
acres, having one hundred tnd fifty to
wheat, thirty to oats, fifteen to corn

that money could buy and looks
nighty good.
F. M. Mintle came here from Io,va
last spring and bought out hundred
and sixty acres of good land. He hs
one hundred acres of .heat, six acres
of oats, and twenty-five of uds. Mr
Mintle came here for Mrs. Mes
health and we are sorry to say "hat
he tells us that she i not improved ns
he had hoped. She has just returned
from New Mexico where she had spent
the winter without retting the desire J
relief. We surely I pe that she ull
get speedy relief for we h;ive been
through the same experience.
From Mintles' we drove north to E.
M. Ringer's and found E. M. at work
n the corn and had a nice visit with
him. E. M. came here from Iowa
three years ago and bought e'uxen
hundred and twenty acres of as j.ood
land as there is in Box Uutte county.

has a married son that lives on tne
place. They have two hundred am
forty acres of wheat, ninety acres of
corn, forty acres of oats, thirty-two
of spuds, thirty of barley and one hun
dred of alfalfa. When asked how Jie
liked this country as compared with
Iowa, he said he liked it much better
and gave as one reason that he could
produce more from the labor and cap
ital invested here, that the water wa?
the best on earth, and he liked the
climate better.
Fred Ditzler came from Illinois five
years ago and is operating four hun
dred and eighty acres and likes this
country much better than where he
came from. He says one can do so
much better with small capital and a
poor man can get a start here hotter
than in the east on high priced land
and high rent. Fred has one hundred
and seven acres of wheat, twelve .-vie-of
oats, fifteen of corn and fifteen f
spuds.
L. E. Stamp is a new-comer here,
having come from Iowa this spring and
is operating two hundred and ten acres
with only sixty in cultivation. He has
the sixty to spuds and is doing the
work and also the house work, for
Louie h"s no little wifie to cook for
him. Will not some young lady take
pity on him for he needs a cook 7
Monday morning we wended our
way north as usual and the fine stop
was with Ira Myers, routiieast f
Hemingford. Mr; Myers owns eighty
acres and is operating three hundred
and twenty. He has one hundred
acres of winter wheat, forty of spring
wheat, twenty or corn, sixty of spuds
and six of alfalfa. Irvin came here
two years ago from Iowa and likes
this country fine very much better
than Iowa and says that one can
farm more and get larger returns for
he labor expended and that it is a
better place to get a start in.
Everyone knows Will Roland, for
he is 'one of the old timers, having
come here in 1885 from Missouri. In
1894 he thought he would try another
place, so moved to Oklahoma, but

Dr. Robert F. Whiston, the advance
man for the Standard Chautauqua, ar
rived here Saturday night on No. 42
and spent Sunday and Monday here.
On Sunday morning he spoke in the
Methodist church for the pastor, he
being an evangelist of wide experi
ence. In the evening a union service
was arranged for and a full house
heard him again at the M. E. church.
He is a live wire and we were fort
unate in having him for the day. An
other union service was arranged for
Monday night at the Congregational
church at which time he gave one of
his noted Chautauqua lectures free to
a large congregation and all were well
pleased.
The body of Clyde Watson who was
killed in a railroad wreck last Satur
day was shipped here Sunday night on
No. 42 and the funeral was held from
the Congregational church Tuesday at
2 o'clock.
At the close of the services at the
Methodist chuixh Sunday night the
pastor announced that there was a
little surprise coming for the audi
ence. The pianist, Mrs. Clyde Graham
played the march and Mrs. Nellie Gil
len and Mr. Orville Kedwell marched
down the isle to the altar of the church
and Rev. A. J. May pronounced the
ceremony which united them as hus-
band and wife. To the strains of the '
music they marched out and over to
the parsonage. After the audience
was dismissed about seventy-five of
their friends went over and spent an
hour visiting, singing, etc., after which
all departed after extending to them
eon-rtulaiona and bKt wishes. Mr.
and Mrs. Kedwell and son Loer de
parted Monday morning for Denver
by auto.
I A large number of the citizens met
with Mr. Whiston at the Legion hall
Monday morning and had a very in
teresting meeting in the interest of
the chautauqua which is to be held
here the week beginning July 14th.
The ball game here Sunday between
Alliance and the home team resulted
in a score of 2 to 6 in favor of the
visiting team. That makes a tie be
tween the two teams. Next!
