Yesterdays Kansas City Times con-
tains the following words of praise
for Kansas, and presents good argu-
ments fayoring tue adoption of the
Kansas sunfower as the national floral
emblem.
kansas has come to the front SO
conspicuouSly this year that the claim
for the sunfloWer as the national floral
emblem ought to be renewed. Kansas
a greater quantity of food products
can be found growing on her farms
than any where else. The winter
wheat of the north and the sugar and
cotton plants of the south are cultiVat
ed on commercial scale. Corn is
king of American agriculture and Kan
sas is the great corn state. Grass and
cattle, fruits and flowers. are natural
Kansas productions. All the nations
who have given their children to form
the republic are represented by some
Of their best blood in Kansas. Ger
mans, Irish ond Scandinavians are
! happily converted into Americans by
the success of life on Kansas prairie5.
and the native American is found
there at his breezy and vigorous best.
On that soil the sunfioWer grows spoh-
tateously. Kansas proves that the
home of the sunfiower is the meeting
place for all that is best in American
agriculture. The Sunfower state is
| the representative state, and the sun
/ flower, bold, bright, pushing and head
ed, ought 90 be the national flower.

The pelican. which caused SO much
curiosity on the street Saturday, is
now in charge of Prof. Kelly at the
Normal, who secured the bird from
Henry Shellane. The bird is known in
the general term, American, or white
pelican and is found on the south coast
of the United States, where the win
ters are warm and is seldom seen SO
far midland as is this country. The
birds go as far north as the great lakes
during the breeding season, and the
one captured north of this city is in al
probability straggler returning to the
south to winter. Considerable merri-
ment was manifested by the curious
crowd, when Mr.. Shellane said he run
the thing down. Yet this appears to
be the case, as the pelican was enjoy
ing rest in small pond, and the
captor made his way, unknown to the
bird, up very near it, and on account
of its large and clumsy wings, secured
the prize before it could get up head
way enough to escape. The bird win be
mounted in the near future and placed
/ in the museum.

a NORTON county pioneer offers
proof that the atmospheric conditions
on the great plains have changed. He
says in 1874 he used to hang up a
fresh quarter of buffalo on a pole and
cut steaks from it from day to day I'M
til it was all gone. Now, he says, meat
treated in the same manner will spoil
within twenty-four hours. The air is
so much moister on account of the cul-
tivation of the soil. After having been
on the plains for fifteen years he is
convinced that a change is coming over
the western country, though not as
rapidly as expected.-State Journal.

Condition of Winter and Spring
Whcat-Thc Cotton Area.
The June returns of thu Department OF
Agriculture show slight incrIas of winter
wheat area seeded, but the breadth harvested
may be possibly million acres moro than
in the last crop, largely from Kansas and
California. The seeded and harvested area
in Kansas will this year DO nearly identical
and the large breadth i'm California which |,
cut for xhent in ycnrs OF low yield ~ilI in
part bo harvested for grain this season. The
question OF areas will be tested later as thor
oughly as possible by a partial local census
Mt various points. Tho condition OF winter
wheat still remains comparatively high
though it hos fallen three points durins the
last month and averages 9} for the country.
The following State averages are given:
New York, g6; Pennsylvania, %; Maryland,
03; Virginia, "a; Georgia. %; Texas, SS; Ken.
tucky Sc; Ohio, SS; Michigan, 30 Indiana, -:
Illinois, 50; Missouri, 0S; Kansas. 9S; Cali
fornia,9S.
The area OF spring wheat has apparently
increased about three oer cent. The pre-
liminary estimates show loss OF three per
cent. in Wisconsin and one in Minnesota and
a gain of one I'm Iowa, three in Nebraska and
seven in Dakota, with increase in the noun
tain region.
The condition OF spring wheat is high, ex
cept in parts OF Dakota, where it has suffered
from drought Averages are as follows;
Wisconsin, %; Minnesota, 93; Dakota, SO;
Nebraska, 9S; Iowa, %. Condition is gem
orally high in the mountain districts, The
average is nearly 9j for tho entire spring
wheat bredth.
An increase Of two to three per cent in the
nrea of oats is reported, while condition is
sey;en noints below the normal standard of
full crop.
The area Of barley is about tho same as
last year, and it's average Of condition o.
Rye has made no percaptible advance in
area, and its general average condition is 95.
The June report of the Department. Of Ag-
rculture indicates slight reduction in the
area Of cotton on tho Atlantic coast and Oh
increase west Of the State of Alabama.
Nearly four-fft of the propose,i breadth
had been planted by the lst of May, but ger
minatOn was slow on account of cold and
generally dry weather, replanting of defect
i've stands generally, and some fields were
plowed and planted in oorn.

now TO crRcuMvEkr INSECT PESTS.


Farmers at this season are in need of
formulas for the various insecticides, and
although these have been repeatedly given
on this page, few of these in more
common use are here reproduced:
For codling moths, curculio, leaf
rollers, tent caterpillar and canker worms
London purple is the usual remedy. Pro-
fessor ook-advises one pound of the
purple to 200 gallons of water. For cod
ling moths he applies as soon as the
blossoms fall, and again two weeks later.
This kills all the other insects mentioned
except the curculio. For this last named
pest the Professor advises an application
of London purple rs soon as the calyx
falls, and again twice at intervals of ten
days.
For plant lice, book lice and mossy
bugs, apply with force-pump when the
insects are at work the "Kcrosene and
Soap Mixture" Professor Cooks for
mula for the kcrosnne mixture is: Soft
soap one quart, or hard soap-preferably
whale oil soap-one-fourth pound; two
quarts hot water and one pint kerosene.
Stir till all are permanently mixed.
Then add water till the kerosene forms
one fifteenth of the whole compound.
A specific for cabbage caterpillars,
cherry and pear slugs, rose bugs, etc., is
the Buhach or California pyrithimi dashed
on to the insects with either spray bellows
or force -pbs.p Ono;omce OF the powder
is required to, say, three gallons of water
