QUARTERLY REPORT
Or THE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
For TIE YEAR ENDING DECEM-
BIER 81, 1879.

Owing to the continued i'll health Of
Hon. Alfred Gray, late Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, the quar-
terly report for the quarter ending De-
ceDber p, 1879, has been greatly delay
ed. The volume has been received, and
among its valuable contents will he
found the average condition of crops
and farm animals, estimated acreage of
winter wheat of 1879 compared with
acreage of 1873, crop statietics summa-
rized by counties, showing the number
and value of live stock for 1870, valua.
ton of property, school statistics show
ing number of school districts, number
of school houses, value of school build
ings, number Of teachers employed, etc,
population Of Kansas in 1873 and 1879,
showing increase by counties, meteOro-
logical summary of the year, an article
upon Egyptian corn or Pampas rice, to-
gcthcr with chemical analysis of the
same, and an article on pearl millet.
Probably the most interesting feature
of this report is the lengthy illustrated
part devoted to ''shcep husbandry" in
Kansas, giving short history and de-
scription Of the various breeds of sheep
and the expense of practical breeders in
each county, closing with an illustrated
sketch Of "a Kansas sheep and grain
farm, its receipts and expenditures"
This is followed by a map showing the
railroads of Kansas, January 1, 1880,
and also the census districts. The vol
ume closes with a brief biographical
notice of the late Mr.. Gray, who gave
to this quarterly report the last labors
Of his life. The address of Rev. DR..
McCabe, which follows the biography,
delivered at the funeral Of Mr.. Gray, is
an eloquent tribute to useful man.

THE FACTS.

The Sore Head Coterie lay great stress
upon the assertion thai Ryan is oppos-
ing the Casey Young bill. The asser-
ton 10 gratuiious, worse than that, il
IL false. and they know it. Mr.. Ryan
has not. nor is he. opposing the passage
of the Casey Young bill. Neither has
Senators ingalls, or Plumb. They all
stand together for any measure that will
permit the construction of road down
this Valley to the Mississippi river. The
howl against Ryan is simply because he
would not abandon measure he had al
ready introduced. which WAS general in
lite provisions. aud go 10 work for pri-
vatc steal gotten up by a lot Of Mem
phis men who never owned or built a
railroad in their lives. Altogether Il Is
the thinnest and mcancst fight ever a.
tempted on a Representative.
The people OF this Valley are not in
favor of the Case. Young steal, aud
they will oppose any measure which will
enrich few politicians at the expense
Of the commercial and material inter-
ests Of this Valley. There cannot be
found ten business men in Wichita out
side of the parties whose names are
mentioned in the hill that favor that
ss,l,sidy lob.

and do for tho people OF the entire
South. that they may 20 on developing
their resources and become greater and

forget. as yoar worthy Mayor cx pressed
it. THAT there is "a boundary between

comes that sectional feeling will end.
Let any American, who can. travti

por,unity OF witnessing what is there

CAN'T SWALLOW IL.

The Beacon in attempting to organ
ize fight against Ryan, bit of good
deal more than il finds il can swallow,
SO il calls i'm two or three sore-hcad Re-
publicans 10 help il, and the contortions
made by the outfit in their deglutitory
cxerercisc are not little amusing to the
general public. In and about five col
umns are occupied this week in explain
ations. in threats, and in calling names.
Mr.. Ryan is asked questions, Mr.. Has
kell is asked questions. and the editor
of the EAGLE il asked questions.
Now. we have just this one word to
say to all this TRADE:
The people of this city thoroughly
and fully understand the whole animus
of this Sudden fight, its purpose, its
spirit, and the melting cause. and that
il Wichita fails to get the United States
Court, it will he through the rnwar-
rantablc and unnecessary fight waged
by pretended friends of Wichita against
a man who is doing all in his power TO
serve our city and its interests.

THE TEMPERANCE BUZZ.

We are in receipt Of two communi-
cations thi. week in which are discussed
at great length the proposed amend
ment. Both were written by temper
ancc men, recognized as such, but are
in all other respects totally dissimilar.
We agree with one gentleman's views
personally, the other We do not. But
that il not what we started out to say.
These communications would fill six
columns Of this paper. We would like
to accommodate both sides, especially
both Of these gentlemen. but they can
readily See that we cannot spare SO
much space TO the discussion Of a sub
feet that onc-half of our readers would
rather have left out. But. if we could
afford TO give up all our space this once,
these communications would call out
dozenp Of others upon both sides of the
same sabjecf, and for tho next six
months about all we would have would
be bootless discussion Of the temper
ancc question. OF which everybody bu,
the writers would become Disguised.
Abstractly the question lis rs old as the
hills" specifically. As to the proposed
amendment, we don't believe our cor
respondents would change vote. In
other words. we would not care SO
much ourselves 10 publish all that viii
be written upon this question. bat j, is

A good example Of the species Of hy-
perbOle in which our California friends
indulge il found in the late repOr; Of
the San Francisco board of health. The
first charge against those people is that
the quarter which they occupy, usually
known rs Chinatown, is vastly over
crowded. The report saws that the re-
gion is bounded by Stockton, kearney,
California streets, aud Broadway. and
that it embraces twelve square blocks.
A tolerably close calculation shows that
this area contains at least a quarter of q
square mile. And, with vivid display
of rhetoric, il is announced that this
narrow space is inhabited BY 1900 peo-
pie. At first blush this does not appear
to be frightfnl overcrOwding Of dwell.
ing houses. IL $1,000 men, " omen and
children live in an area equal to one
quarter of square mile. this would
show proportion Of 10000 TO the
square inlc. But, in the eleventh ward
of this city, the population occupy q
space which gives 1856 y5l0 to tine square
mile. The tenth ward has population
Of 1882 to the square mile, while in
thirty acres Of the fourth ward ia found
a population crowded at the terrible
rate of 5000 to the square mile. Ger
tainlv, the Chinese overcrowding OF san
Francisco is not exceptional.-Ner

TIE WIND STROM.

The wind storm of last Friday night
and all day Saturday will long be re-
mcmbered. though it did no very great
damage.
AT Topeka the Union Pacific rol ing
mills building was pretty badly demoI-
ished.
At Fort Scott n large windmill was
blown down.
At Sterling, Rice county, the Chris
tian church was demolished aud the
Presbyterian church injured.
At Scdalia the roof Of the general
offices Of the NJ, X. 4 7. railway was
blown of.
The Santa Fe was two haurs and 8
half late, on account of the storm of
wind, sand and rain which it passed
through all the way from Trinidad to
this city.
A freight train on the Fort Scott
road reached Ochltree, small station
eight miles below Olathc, about two
O'Clock Saturday morning. The engin-
eer saw . large object on the track,
upon turning q curve, but before the
train could be stopped the engine
struck il and the train passed through.
1t was a large crib Of corn which the
wind had lifted from its foundation
and settled on the track Il de. journal.
