The Kansas board of agriculture has
acquired the reputation of being one
of the best, if not the very best, organ
ization of the kind in existence This
reputation has been gained largely
through the reports which have been
issued by Secretary Coburn. A recent
editorial article in the San Francisco
Chronicle threw this bouquet at the
board: "The Kansas board of agri-
culture is doing some exceedingly val
liable work for the live stock, as we'll
as other interests, by ascertaining and
publishing the experience of success
full men. We wish we had such q
board. Osr live stock interests are
actually declining. For some years
we have been urging the -dairymen to
demand their share of state aid, and
there are signs that they will do so.
If our live stock men would organize
and join with them great good would
come of it. What we need is strong
state board of agriculture to take the
place of all the other boards and COM
missions dealing with the product of
the soil. Then we might expect such
work as the Kansas board is now do
ing"
Folks out in the broom corn district
who have any of that product stored
away are strictly in it. The price is
lowering between SIS and sos ton.

job.
When the Kansas exhibit is placed
in shape at the Paris exposition the

make bets at any odds that no other

out.
Northwestern Kansas merchants
VIII hold meeting for the purpose of
devising ways and means to shut off
the work of the snide grocery and
clothing agents and others of this ilk,
who injure the local merchants and
swindle their customers every time a
sale is made.
In Kansas it is an exception when
the farmers cannot do some blowing
in every month of the year. The ex-
ception came again with the bad
weather of this winter.
