There is a quarter section of hay
land in the heart of Wiggle Creek
that has always rented for hay,except
this year, when the landlord put an
extra $50 making $200. It is a shame
to see such good hay going to waste,
but when the price of anythig gets
too high people find a substitute and
more corn has been cut for fodder
than ever before. The damage to
this land will be more than $50, as
next year’s hay crop will be full of old
hav, This field a few years ago rent
ed for $25.
Carrier got home from his hunting
' trio up on Pony Lake two weeks ago.
The hunting was fine but the fishing
was poor, it being too cold for fish.
The crops on the way up are as fol
, lows: Commencing 12 miles north of
Coup City to 12 miles northwest of
> Ord, 28 miles in all, the com crop is
very poor, and around Ord it seemed
the worst. Field after field have not
an ear on them. Mira valley, one of
the finest little valleys in the west,
has almost complete failure. From
Fleria the crops begin to look better,
and when one gets to Burwell crops
are good. From Burwell we went
northwest up the Calamus to Gracie
creek on the east side of the river,
taking the old railroad grade. All
along the 18 miles the crops are good.
After leaving Burwell you get into a
sandy country and this old railroad
grade is a great thing for the Kinkaid
homesteaders. At Gracie creek you
go up the east side. The main stream
is only three miles long and before it
reaches the Calamus it is a rolling,
tumbling lot of water from 10 to 25
feet across. It has a rock bottom
and it is cold in the hottest weather.
The Calamus river has the same flow
of water the year round. The bot
tom is composed of small gravel up to
the size1 of hen’s eggs and the water,
like Gracie creek, is cold the year
round. The crops from Gracie creek
north for about 20 miles are good, but
the rest of the way they are not so
good, and in fact the crops around
Pony lake are the poorest I have seen
for six years. The hay crop was cut in
two at Pony lake. Mr. and Mrs.
Adams run the whole town there.
They run the poetoffice, grocery store,
dance hall large enough so 92 couples
danced at one time at the celebration
held there the 13th and 14th. They
have a cream station, and ice house.
Tou can get almost anything you
want at their place and everything
seems to be cheaper. They hare to
freight their goods 18 miles. Mr.
Adams has an automobile truck wag
on on which he hauls most of his
goods. All the way up to Pony lake
the country is thickly settled, but it
is claimed that as soon as the Kin
kaiders prove up most of this land
will be taken over by the cattle men
and turned into a cattle country
again. Some have already sold their
interests. There are hundreds of
stacks of hay on the way up and the
cattle look fat enough for beef now.
One thing that the sandhills are
blessed with and that is pure water.
The hill are full of good wells at shal
low depth, big flowing springs, big
lakes by the score filled with fish of
all kinds from dandy sun fish up to
black bass and pickerel. Pony lake
has sun fish, pickerel, and bull heads,
the sun fish large, the bull heads all
over a pound each. Some pickerel
have been caught in the lake many
weighing as high as 18 pounds. The
finest thing in the sandhills the car
rier thinks are the flowing wells. All
you have to do at or near pony lake is
to drive a well down 100 feet and get
an endless flow of fine spring water
just as soft as rain water and as clear
as crystal. One fehing about the peo
ple of the sandhills, they are glad to
see you and make you feel at home.
If you are thinking of taking a hunt
ing trip do Pony lake, all you have to
do is to jump into your auto or wagon
and Mr. Adams will rent you a tent
a boat cook for you or board you by
the day or week. They have 15 beds.
You can be sure of fine treatment at
iheir hands. Some of the sandhills
have blowouts in them as deep as fifty
feet and at the bottom is a lake with
trees around it, and most of these
lakes have fish in them.
