Talks Interestingly of the
Growth of Kaffir Corn.
ACREAGE INCREASES.
The Santa Fe Interested In the
Cereals Progress.
Burden Wants a New Depot and
May Get 1t.

Industrial Commissioner James A.
Davis of the Santa Fe talks
interestingly of the attention his road
is giving to Rafir corn and alfalfa.
He says that ten years ago KafHr
corn was practically unknown in Kan
sas. The first statistics of its growth
were gathered in 1893 when the total
area under cultivation was AZ, 911 acres
This has increased steadily each year
until the acreage this year has reached
the extent of 535.743 acres.
Important developments are looked
Tor from the experiments now being
conducted IN Kansas by the department
or agriculture at Washington Some
months ago the department sent ex-
perts to Persia to obtain specimen
seeds or the native grasses and cereals,
and these are now being tested in parts
OF Kansas and New Mexico.
katf1r corn is not only planted for it's
forage value but for its seed which is
fully as good as Indian corn for feed
The domestic uses of Kaffir corn are in
creasing considerably. 1t makes as
good corn meal and as sweet corn
cakes as Indian corn The yield of seed
IS about fOrty-hVe bushels to the acre
THE Importance of Kaffir corn to
Kansas can hardly be estimated" con-
tlnued Mr.. Davis. 1T will grow and
flourish where Indian corn cannot
hundreds Of thousands of acres of
Kansas lands can be made to yield a
revenue from this crop which would
otherwise remain forever sterile
kafhr corn demands less moisture than
any crop known"
Another Kansas crop is alfalfa that
Is important Until 1891 it was compar-
atively unknown in Kansas, less than
10000 acres being planted with it. The
acreage this year amounts to 231, 53S
acres, an increase over 1897 of more
than thirty-hve per- cent. AS a hay
crop this surpasses any other known.
1t will yield three and sometimes four
a season, each averaging one and
half tons to the acre.
Alfalfa is q. better cattle food than
corn 1t never needs replanting. 1t is
hardy and perennial. Alfalfa hay
sells for about $3.50. but converted into
feed for beef and pork it will bring
alfalfa, too, has a market, a large
amount of it being exported and re-
aHzing from 50 to 81 bushel
Mr.. Davis says that the time has
gone when the older states of the union
can afford to laugh at Kansas and he
offers some statistics as evidence of
the social and economic progress of
the state. Kansas, he says, has one
school for every 3O9, Pennsylvania one
for every 410 and Massachusetts one for
every 900 persons. Kansas has five con-
victs for every 10000 persons, while
Ohio has eight, Pennsylvania eleven
and Massachusetts twenty convictS for
the same number.
mat is the doctrine Mr. Davis is
spreading abroad in the east. At home
in Kansas he is booming Kaffir corn

SHOWING FOR SANTA FE.
Comparison of Earnings Shown With
the Northern Pacific.

The last annual reports of the Atch~
ison, Topeka & Santa F'e and Northern
Pacific roads have attracted consider
able attention in railway and financial
circles, and q good many comparisons
have been made between the earnings
shown by the two companies. The
Railway Review takes up the subject
in an article which claims that a proper
analysis of the two reports puts the
earnings of the Santa Fe in a more IA
vorable light than some writers have
stated. The gross earnings per mile of
the two roads for last year were: North
ern Pacific, $5,2S506, and Santa Fe, S5,-
645.57; operating expenses, Northern Pa
cifc, 81 ,476.37; Santa F'e, $4,l03.S1, leav-
ing as net earnings, Northern Pacific,
81, sos. SO, and Santa F'e, $1,541.5S. OPP
Grating expenses are, however, a vari-
able quantity, and an analysis of them
shows that while the Northern Pacific
expended 500 per mile for the mainten-
ance of the roadway and structures,
and 1884 for the maintenance of equip
ment, the Santa Fe expended 81 1872 per
mile for the maintenance of roadway
and structures, and s671 per mile for
the maintenance of equipment.
The meaning of this difference may
be appreciated from the fact that the
latest return of six of the large west
ern roads show an average expenditure
for roadwayS and structures of $3.50 a
mile, and for equipment, s345 These
figures bear out the claims of the Off
Gals of the Santa Fe that they are put
ting the property into the best possible
condition for economical operation.

Complaint of Coal Rates.

w. ). Norton, of ScammOn, arrived
in Topeka yesterday to make complaint
to the board of railway commissioners
with regard to coal rates out of Scam
mon. He says that since the Santa Fe
has reduced it's rates on coal from
Pittsburg and Frontenac, Scammon. op-
orators cannot compete with them. An
other complaint is that the Santa Fe
and Memphis roads, which are Compel
ing lines in Scammon, will not allow
their cars to run over one anOther's line
so that an operator whose mine is on
the Memphis cannot ship to points on
the Santa F'e, and vice versa. Mr.. Nor
ton also alleges that the railroad com
panies manipulate rates in favor Of
mines in which their lines are interest
ed, to the disadvantage of individual
mine owners

APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.
Sixth District Committee Issues a
Congressional Circular.


Norton. Oct 12.-CharIes NJ. Sawyer,
chairman Of the Sixth district congress
sional committee is sending out the fol-
lowing circular to Democratic voters:
''Populists and Republicans alike are
industriously circulating the rumor that
our nominee for congress, William G.
Hoffer, will withdraw from the field.
Do not believe such talk, either now or
later in the campaign. Mr. Hoffer will
not withdraw; he can't withdraw. He
was nominated by the regularly cOnSti-
tuted Democratic convention of this
district; has accepted the nomination,
and his nomination has been filed with
the secretary Of state. No power on
earth can induce him to withdraw. He
was nominated in the interests of the
Democratic party of this district; not as
an aid to either Mccormick or Reeder.
He is entitled to every Democratic vote
in this district. To refuse to vote for
HOffer is to deny your allegiance to the
Democratic party. To vote for him
ciples of Democracy, and believe in
strengthening the Democratic party by
voting for the Democratic nominee for
congress.
mittee will not ask Democrats this year
to vote for the Populist nominee, as
was done two and four years ago.
Neither will Democrats-that is, genu-
lne Democrats-ask you to vote for the
Pop nominee for congress in exchange
for a Pop vote for a judicial, legislative
or other candidate for minor office. And
good, true Democrats will not harbOr
nor vote upon such a proposition. It is
just such a course that has all but
wiped out our party organization. We
want no more of it.
Democrats Bear this in mind
HOffer has not withdrawn; he will not
withdraw; that it is your duty to vote
for him on election day.
