1t Takes Much Water.

II. X. Hilton Of Topeka delivered a
lecture on subsOiling at Newton a few
nights ago. During his remarks he
made some observations on tempera-
ture, irrigation and the corn srop. He
said:
The temperature has always been
extreme in poor crop years in Kansas
We have never raised a good crop Of
corn in Kansas when the temperature
was above 100 degrees for a consider
able length of time.
"One thousand tons Of water areneces
saTy to the acre TO raise fifty bushels
Of corn TO the acre. This would give
about twenty-five gallons TO each corn
plant, or nine inches of rainfall. Corn
needs about one-half OF its water sup
ply after It tassles. 4 general mistake
that is made by Kansas farmers IS 70
plant too many stalks OF corn 70 the
acre. The reason OF this is that dur
ing the dry season when the moisture
OF the subsOil is needed most, there are
too many plants TO exhaust the water.
With fewer plants the results are much
better
After explaining how subsoilinC
would be q remedy he said, We viii

A MISLEADING HALF TRUTH.

A New York financial journal depre-
demand for goods, and attributes it
| wholly to 1.-The reduction in the pur-
chasing power Of the Masses This
is one of the half truths being cir
culated, the effect ef which is nothing
more than to befog the mlnds OF casual
observers. Had the writer gone to
the bottom OF the question and said the
masses We're wholly unable to buy
/ goods by reason OF much greater de
! cline in agricultural products. and that
/ this was brought about by u useless
! and SenSeiesS contraction of the cur
! rency, he would have had the founda-
/ ton upon which to build his .'reduc-
/ ton in the, purchasing power of the
masses. What matters it that goods
are cheap OF dear when the fruits OF
a years labor VIII only buy a short
ration OF the actual necessities. and
that Of the cheapest variety: It must
( be admitted that the principal market
Tor eastern wares is in the west, and
surely anything which curtails the
price Of farm products, diminishe>, "
so much, the farmers abiir- 10 buy.

porting policy which grinds all values
down to the lowest limit. and nractic-
ally prohibits his western buyer from
taking his goods 1T any price There
may de differences as to the cause Of
such decline, but certain things have
tranSpired which cannot be refuted.
The further use Of silver as money
has practically been prohibited. No
body can deny that. Values of every
thing but gold and gold-bearing debts
have declined. Everybody knows that.
Whatever may be said of the one fact
in lis relation To the other, these are
simple truths which everybody recog-
nizes. 1t is in the hope that, sooner |
or later, the real cause Of depression, |
and lack of confidence, will come TO |
the surface, we look for the practical |
solution of our present difficulties in |
finance, and the re-eStabliShment of |
trade relations upon normal and |

FEARS AN EXTRA SESSION.

President Cleveland is between two
fires. His own congress failing in
| everything expected Of it, and having
ignored every recommendation of I'M
pOrtance urged upon il by him, he
would doubtless convene the Republi-
can congress in extra session but for
the fact Of almost certain inyesticl-
| ton which would follow of the scandal
growing out Of the last bond issue.
The Republican Press outside Of New
York would be practically unanimous
IN the demand that the bottom facts
OF that deal should be made public.
That the syndicate were in receipt of
bids aggregating 500, 000,0C0 of bonds,
at price that netted a profit of eight
to ten millions of dollars when the total
issue was but $62,000,000 yet rankles

dollars, less than one-third of the profit
Of that single deal Of Carlisles. was
paid the bankers for floating the bonds.
1t Is not forgotten in addition that 2la
per cent bonds were sold to the Amcri-
can people only few years ago. by
a Republican administration, through
the postmasters Of the country at a
normal expense. An investigation of
the entire deal would almost sure 10
follow the converting Of an extra SEES
sion.
In addition TO the foregoing dissatis-
faction many eastern Democrats and
Republicans alike are joined in the
opinion that Cleveland's course has
been ut the bottom of the free coinage
demand which is now heard from one
end of the Hand to the other. How
ever that may be, Mr.. Cleveland's CON
sresS in repeating the reciprocity treat
