The Thomas County Democrat Thomas County September 2, 1886 Mr. F.A. SMITH, the enterprising farmer north-west of town, last Monday brought to the office of C.B. ADAMS som specimens of western Kas. farming. His crops wre grown on sod, and the millet measures 4 feet and 7 inches, and yielded a little more than four tons to the acre. The corn was planted June 16, came up four days later, and in sixty days growing measures over eight feet high and has two and three ears growing on each stalk. This is proof sufficient to convince the most skeptical as to whether crops will grow here.--Rose of Sharron.
