Iacoma's chances faded away into the air,

Added to this was an almost faultIess field-

Maple River Farmers Club.

The last meeting of the Maple River Far
mers' Club was held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. G. Waugh, who entertained the club
members very pleasantly.
In the absence of the president, G.. NJ.
Reynolds, the vice president, ID. c. Cooper,
filled the chair. The meeting was opened
by the choir singing, following which came
the election of officers, resulting as follows:
President, G. nj. Reynolds, vice president
ID. c. Cooper, secretary Mrs. f. j. Cook;
these persons to act as a committee on enter
tainment.
The subject to be discussed by the gentle
men. "What causes the depression of farm
products" was handled by ID. c. Cooper,
who had very interesting paper. He
claimed that Over-productiOn was largely
the cause of low prices; another cause, the
vast quantities of produce grown in the
west OH the praires where land is cheap
and plenty, grass big crop, enabling the
farmer or ranchman to grow cattle at small
cost. Mr.. Sheldon agreed with Mr.. Cooper
in his views, while some of the club were of
the opinion that the buyer could set his own
price on the farmers products and would
get them at even a lower price than was
now paid. This was largely due to the
financial embarrassment of the producer, his
need for money when the crop was ready to
sell.
In the absence of the speaker, Mrs. Clark,
the ladies subject was not disposed of but
will be discussed at our next meeting. A
song by the choir then followed, after which
we all adjourned to the dining rooms where
we did good justice to the bountiful repast
set before us, then adjourned to meet
with Mr. and Mrs. G. III. Payne in August.

THE aIczzs OF AUSTRALIA.
Prof. =. ". Shelton Writes About
The Resources Of a PARKWAY
Country.

Topeka (Ks.) Capital.
Prof. E. nj. Shelton, who was for several
years superintendent of agriculture at the
state agricultural college and who was some
time ago appointed government agricultural
agent Of Australia, has written to secretary
Mohler an interesting letter from Brisbane.
Queensland, descriptive of the country and
its resources. He says:
'This l can say truthfully, that the soil,
the climate and the natural resources of the
country exceed anything that had dared
to expect. 1t would astonish Kansas
farmer to see what can be and is grown
here; two or three crops are grown in one
year; as soon as one crop is made and long
before it is harvested, another is planted on
the same ground. There are no checks from
winter and no feeding season to provide for.
Nearly all temperate fruits, apples, pears,
grapes, etc.. thrive here and in addition we'll
nigh every tropical fruit, oranges, lemons,
bananas, pine-apples, olives, mangoes, paw
paws, cltr0ns and dozen others, the names
or which cannot spell. Except i'm certain
portions OF the down country which lie
10000 miles in the interior, the whole
country is wooded lightly for the most part.
but often very densely in the scrub country.
10 the eye the country has the appearance
OF beautiful park, covered to the very
roots with magnificent growth of grass
often waist high. The trees outside of the
scrub country are not large and all are ever
greens, most of which shed their bark annu-
ally instead Of their leaves. Nevertheless,
Queensland Is not great as an agricultural
country yet. Sheep and cattle raising upon
the interior ranches or stations" as they
call them here, is the great industry, but
mining is extensively followed and general
agriculture has good start and well-we
shall make more OF 1t in the future.
"You will be interested, doubtless, to
know what l am doing and what the pros
poets are for the future. OF this am GER
tain, there is going to be plenty to do.
have just returned from run 1000 miles
north into tropical Queensland. TO one
like myself, accustomed to the moderate
growth of temperate climate, the over
whelming growth of vegetation in tropical
Queensland was simply amazing. Sugar
growing has been the great industry there
in years past and great fortunes have been
made in the business, and the prohibition of
imported labor after the present year has
almost beggared the planters.
Beef, mutton and tropical fruits are
much lower here than with you, but agricul
tural products generally are very high

would make Kansas farmers smile, wouldn't
they? Moreover, our farmers, except
light tariff OH imports and a road tax, have
no taxes"

Women and Children Will Vote.

A unique plan of voting by which women
and children as well as men and boys can
vote early and often has been originated by
the Detroit Journal i'm its military contest
scheme. The Journal has offered five prizes
aggregating nearly $4,000, to be divided
among the military companies getting the
largest number of votes from ballots cut
from the Detroit Journal. The contest is a
spirited one, and the friends of the 80 Mich
igan companies are loyalty at work for their
favorites. Any one can vote as many times
as he wishes. The record of the progress
of the vote and copy of the ballot, which
may be cut out and used, is published in
the Detroit Journal each day. The Journal
will enter upon its eighth year of publication
on September 1st and will celebrate its an
niversary by making slight advance in its
advertising rates.
