It will be news to most of our people
that the state Of Kansas has been main
tanning an alleged experimental station
at Garden City, but it has. Now 1t is to
be discontinued for the whole thing has
been very improbable experiment to
the state, and utterly worthless to the
farmers of this county. The manage
ment of the station adopted ideas that
have been discarded in this country years
ago, and consequently the people are not
a whit the wiser than if the station had
never been in operation. The object of
the station was to prove whether water
coulc be pumped in sufficient quantities
from deep wells to irrigate our uplands,
but as there never was any water In the
well this question was never settled.
Then attention was turned to the veloc-
ity of wind, and it was learned that the
wind did blow in western Kansas, al
though it was never published officially,
we believe. Last summer year ago q
small quantity of broom corn was raised,
which was labeled "exhibit rs. x9, zl2,
1g1," etc., but which competent judge
said was all Of the same grade. The
only actual and real thing about the
station was the salaries and expenses
Garden City Herald.
The other ''experimental" things which
have cost the state some money in salaries
and pumps should be abolished with
the salaries too. There is an ''experi-
mental station in Ford county. We have
not heard from i: for a long while, and
presume it too has gone dry.

which are paid by individuals anxious to prove
their descent from noble families OF antiquity and
who wish to have searches made In the records OF
the College with that object In view. Only those
who are cynical enough to realize the amazing ex-
