In and About Goodland, Kansas. Sherman county is the extreme west ern county in the state < f Kansas, ••cond tier south. It is .'10x11(1 miles in area aff ording 4.'>20 homes of Hit) acres each. Wo can offer the investor or the homeseeker land at a very moderate price, where the soil is a rich black vegetable loam ten inches to several feet deep. Our climate too, is good The winters are short and not very cold, the summers pleasant and ne sultry, hot weather as is usually found intneeast We have an abundance of soft water at a depth of from twenty lo one hundred and fifty feet. This is sheet water and never failing. Our soil produces fine crops of wheat, oats, corn, barley and rye. Flax has been tried with good success, Alfalfa also is gaining favor and produces fine crops where tried. Our land should not only double but even treble its price in a few vears. A large acreage of broom corn willt»e putouttliisseason. gregational and Episcopal; art opera house and well conducted city library. There is more than a fair prospect for a north and south railroad through Sherman county in the near future. A company, with Col. C. C. Godrnan, a rail road builder of national reputa tion. at its head, lias completed a sur vey from Oklahoma City, where traffic arrangements through to the gulf have been arranged, to St. Brands, from which point it is to be extended to Denver. Grading outiits have been purchased and active construction work will commence this spring. We do not make, this statement that one may buy laud lie!'e, expecting to have a new railroad right at theii house, as we all kuov .• that occasion ally a con pany will put quite a bit of expense on a venture • and then it will not materalizo, but i ve certainly expect this new road and * .-ill be much disap pointed if i't is not built. This is an excelle nttime to buy land Good.and Water Works. Public School 1 Building in the distance We all know when land, in eastern Kansas and Nebraska could be pur chased for $8 to $12 per acre and no buyer—thought it too cheaptobe good. Now the same land is selling from $00 to $100 an acre and in good demand. The money that has been made in fowa and Illinois, also in eastern Kansas and Nebraska is mostly in the raise of price in lands. It was but a few years ago if a man had a quarter of land he was not considered to bo well fixed, but now it is worth about i 115,000, and this same man is well iixed ! and Las no more land than lie had be fore. The same proposition awutts the investor or homeseeker here today that went begging in the eastern states such a short time ago.

He found a nutnljer of good orchards near Goodland. One man raised tiOO bushels of apples last season. The red elm, linden tree, haekberry, soft maple and ml cedar are among the trees which grow well in Sherman county. Ash. honey locust and box elder are not good trees to put out on account of borers. The Tubbs, a late starting early cher ry, be recommended. It is a hardy, prolific hearer. The Marly Richmond grows we!i but starts early and frost frequently kills the fruit buds. The d veil mise and VV ragge here cherries are all right. He has a Concord grape budeii n a wild grape root which is a satisfai lory grape for this section. The Clnekesaw family of plums, a family grafted ori the wild plum, is satisfactory. He advises the farmers to keep in touch with the experiment stations and profit from what they are learning there regarding plants for this section.
