Kansas Farmers Are Worrying About What to Do With Their Money. Atchison, Kan.—Albert Armstrong of this city, who has Just returned from a Trip to Lane county, saya the farmers out there are worrying about what to do with their money this year, instead of worrying how to get along for lack Of it. This has been a wonderful year for western KSiaa farmers, according to Armstrong. Last spring one Lane county farmer traded a heifer for a piece of volunteer wheat for the purpose of pasturing his cattle on it. The wheat did so well he decided to let it grow and harvest it. Result: He harvested 1.300- bushels of. wheat, which lie sold for $1,300. Another farmer bought a half section of land for sls an acre and this year’s crop paid for the land.
