The "cld Maids Convention by the
Monday Afternoon Club at the opera
house last Thursday night was a hum
mer. If all the sorrows, Ills, trials and
fluctuations of spinster's life, as
there depicted. are real, all we have to
is that she is entitled TO more sympathy
than she gets. The old bachelors and
the bashful young men also got roasted
literally and sometimes the ..conyen-
ton" got personal. The ladies are ar.
lists on the stage and some of them
could make fortune in that calling.
The large audience was roaring with
laughter during the whole entertain.
ment- And those costumes! They
were simply immense. although some
were abbreviated The entertainment
was financial success. The proceeds
will be used to improve the Lincoln IL
brary.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

Several weeks ago some of our lead.
ing farmers raised the question as to
which of the three crops-wheat, kaffir
corn and sorghum-invoIye the greatest
drain on the land, and We were request
ed to obtain reliabls information on
the subject. Accordingly we addressed
letter Of inquiry to Hon. F. d. Co
burn, Secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture, who in reply referred us
TO Hon. j. L. Willard, chemist at the
Kansas State Agriculture College Elk
pertinent Station. Prof. Wizards re-
ply is herewith published in full. We
believe that those of our farmers who
have had considerable experience In
handling these three crops will agree
with us that Prof. Wizards conclusion
is correct:
Manhattan, Kans., Nov. 13, 1899.
Dear Sir
Yours of October 10Th addressed to
Hon. r. D. COburn aud his reply to the
same reached me some time since. As
it required some time to properly look
up the question some delay has occurred
Ill replying. am unable to find any
exact data by means of which definite
answer can be given to your question
(which of the three crops. wheat, sor-
ghum or kafiir corn is the most injuri-
Gus to SOIL" l can find no analysis
OF the ash of sorghum and kaffir corn
and your question has suggested line
of investigation which l think | shall
take up III the near future. The cult
vatiOn of kaffir corn and sorghum has
become so extensive in this state that
the question of their effect upon the
soil is very important one. The per-
centage of ash III sorghum and the
whole wheat plant is about the same,
but am unable to find analysis which
will enable me to see which removes
the most potash, nitrogen, etc. AS
they both belong to the great family of
grasses the probability is that the COM
position OF their ash is very much the
same. and my judgment based upon the
limited information which we have is,
that the drain upon the land will be
nearly proportional to the weight OF dry
matter in the crop, and in that case
sorghum and kafir corn producing a
greater tonnage would involve a greater
drain upon the soil. Unlike alfalfa and
other ieguminous plants, wheat and
sorghum are unable TO indirectly make
use Of the free nitrogen air but must
get all their nutriment from the soil.
Wheat would require soil richer in
nitrogen than ksffir corn or sorghum
because it makes its principal growth
through shorter period of time and
thus demands the accumulation of
more available heterogeneous substances,
while the sorghum and kaffir corn grow
ing throughout the season are able to
take these up as they are formed and
do not require as much in the soil at
any one time. They could be grown
with success therefore where wheat
could not. Hoping that these state
ments will be satisfactory, in a meas
ure at least, and regretting my inabili-
ty to answer your questions more fully,
am, yours very truly,
j. 7. WILLARD.
