The Kansas Farmer figures that there
is great room for sugar raising IN
Kansas. To produce as much sugar
as the southern states now do, Kan
sas must increase her product 1857

A Missouri farmer gives the follow
ing prescription for killing borers and
for preventing their attact on trees:
Get a pint of crude carbolic acid, cost
ing twenty five cents, and is sufficient
for twenty gallons of wash. Take a
tight barrel and put IN four or five
gallons of soap, with as much hot
water thin it; then stir in the pint of
carbOlic acid and let it stand over
night, or longer, to combine. Now
add twelve gallons of rain water and
STIR well; then apply to the base Of
the tree with short broom or old
paint brush, taking pains. to wet in
side of all crevices. This will pre-
vent both peach and apple borers. It
should be applied IN the latter part Of
June or early in July, in the climate
of Missouri, when moths and beetles
usually appear. The oder is so pun
gent and lasting that no eggs will be
deposited where it has been applied,
and the effect will continue till after
the insects are done flying. If the
crude acid cannot be obtained, one
third Of the pure will answer, but is
more expensive. The mixture is prac-
ticaEy the kerosene emulsion.

The Capital Commonwealth says:
Secretary Mohler, of the State Board
of Agriculture. in compiling his re-
port to be presented to the next leg
islature, has discovered a number Of
interesting facts, two or three of
which may be briefly referred to. It
is certain that people of Kansas do
not yet begin to fully appreciate the
value Of sorghum cane as a forage
plant, especially in the western part
of the state. The total value Of sor-
ghum raised and manufactured into
syrup only, or used as feed in 1886
was reported at 81, 469,O43. The value
reported in 1888 is $3,1O6,188, an in
crease of 112 per cent. Notwithstand-
ing the talk or a bad season. failure
of crops and all that, it is found that
the total combined value Of all the
farm products of Kansas for the per
iOd covering the two years 1856 was
only 1924, 045,134, while that of 1887
8 is $275, 261, 14O, a gain for the last
two year period of ST., 216,14O, or an
increase in two years of AZ per cent.
In the matter Of population it will be
shown that in the past two years Kan
sas has grown from a state Of 1,4O6,-
728 inhabitants in 1886 to one Of l.
548, 552 in 1888, an increase in the
BIENNIAL period Of 111,814, souls, or
nearly 8 per cent. Eight new cOun-
ties have been organized in the same
period.
