A. M. Clark Visiting Relatives and Friends Here.

A. M. Clark of Gardner, Kan., came Thursday for a couple of weeks’ visit with relatives in Milroy tp. Mr. Clark is farming 240 acres of land near Gardner and has done very well sinde he went there. He thinks it a fine farming country and would not consider returning to this coufity again to farm. He is right near good markets and the prices of grain there are as good as here. He sold 1,000 bushels of wheat when he threshed at 75 cents per bushel, but Tuesday it was $1.07. He was offered 50 cents a bushel for 1,000 bushels of oats just before leaving. He says that the land there is very productive and rents are less than here, grain rent being one-third of the crop, and pasture and meadow $3 per acre.
