CENTRAL KANSAS WHEAT.
Outlook Is Encouraging in This and
Neighboring Counties.

Reports from leading farmers say
that while late sown wheat and some
exposed fields are hurt by the severe
winter Dickinson county's wheat is
on the whole fully up to or above the
average. Present indications are iol
good stand and satisfactory crop.
The Topeka Capital has reports from
neghhoring counties as follows.
Marshall--At a rough estimate
about 40 per cent Of the winter wheat
is damaged. The yield from the
present condition will be fair.
Ellsworlh-From 25 to 30 per cent
loss on wheat crop Is estimated. The
greatest is on late sown. Many early
sown fields are not injured. A few
days of favorable weather will prob
ably relieve much that is now appar-
emily injured. The last snow was a
benefit.
Characterization Of the wheat
crop generally is considered good.
Geary-Winter wheat, properly
putin sustained little II any damage,
while late fields are hurt, but at this
time it is impossible to state to what
extent.
Republic-Wheat is looking fine.
That sown in stalks or by drill could
not be better, That sown broadcast
on open ground is slightly damaged.
Clay-The cold weather has contin.
ued so long that it is difficult to de-
termine at present the actual condi.
ton Of wheat. The reports a month
ago were very dlscouraging, but they
are much more encouraging now The
damage is perhaps 25 per cent.
Morris The winter wheat outlook
is very fair, as good or better than
last year at this time. Very little
has been killed by the cold weather.
McPherson-The wheat crop in
Mcpherson county is decidedly un.
certain. Conservative estimates
place the damage to the crop at from
% to 30 per cen..
Saline-Upon the best sources OBJ
tainable from the farmers Of Saline
county, the upland wheat is very
badly damaged while the lowland
wheat seems to be in good condition,
although here and there it has failed
to "green up"
Riley-Grain men, farmers report
wheat so far to be all right and that
it has generally withstood the severe
winter in good shape.
Marion-The high winds Of last
week did great damage to the wheat
in this community, but the recent
snow and rain is bringing out about
so Or 50 per cent Of it in good shape.

count objects, to add objects, to sub
tract objects, to multiply objects, but
not to do anything with abstract num-
bers. There is a great tendency to
crowd too much into the child's school
life. There should not be to exceed
four recitations day from the text
books, the remainder Of the time
should 'oe taken up with work Of a
purely developing order-sucb work
as memory drills and the training Of
the perceptive faculties. The work
OF the primary teacher should be con.
fined to developing the faculties that
develop early in the child. The reas-
oning powers of a child of the age of
nine are as naught when one attempts
to disclose to him anything pertain
ing to science. You cannot force the
development Of faculty. II you
force the growth Of a plant by arti.
fetal means it will flourish for a time
but will not survive the elements So
with the child who Is made TO "do
fractions" before he knows that "the
part is less than the WHOLE DO rot
push the development--we have too
many hot house plants in our school
now.
The annual examinations for ad-
mission to the county high school are
being conducted today by the follow.
ing persons: Prof. Lantz at Sutphen's
Mill, Prof. Carter at Chapman, An
drew Young at Talmage, Prof. Am
brose at Navarro, Wesley Smith at
Banner City, county superintendent
at Abilene. The papers will be re-
turned to the county superintendent
who will correct them and send the
results to the applicants as soon as
possible. The popularity Of the
county high school is shown by the
number who try to enter it each year.
