' Albert Peters, one of the early day residents of the east part of the coun ty, was here Tuesday looking after business matters and visiting with old friends. Mr. Peters has been a resident of Barton county for the past thirty-five years and says the past season, has been one of the very worst he ever experienced in ail that time. His farm lies along the river southeast of Ellinwood, and It was about the first time in all those years that he had a total failure on his corn, and hay crops. Last year he put up eight ig stacks of hay on his meadow, and this year off of the whole field he only had about half of a small stack. But he is not in the least discouraged and rays the present outlook is ep fine as he ever saw in, the state, and believes that the crop next year will make op for the failure of this year. 7,000,000 POUNDS OF SUGAR.
