A report issued by the state board
or agriculture Saturday gives the
acreage of wheat in Kansas at s.
6s3,643 acres, of which 1,OSO,7O0 have
been damaged to such an extent by
unfavorable weather that it will be
plowed up and devoted to other crops.
The condition of the growing wheat
In the remaining acreage is given
at "a per cent. for the entire state.
In that part of the state where the
bulk of wheat is grown the condition
Is given at 70. Much of the injury to
the crop is attributed to overpastur-
ing. In a large portion Of the state
the soil has at present abundant
moisture. and the need of the wheat
fields is warmth and sunshine. Re-
ports from the sowing of $4,000 BUSH
els of seed imported by Kansas mill
ers and grain men last year, direct
from Russia areinvariably favorable.

THE CHILDREN Of ALL.
Condition and Needs of the
Orphans at Oxford.
An Increase in Number and Decrease in Re.
oeip.s Calls For an Open Handed Lib,r-
alty from the People.

The conditions and needs of the or
phans at the Oxford Orphans Home, Nas
set forth in the current issue of the
Orphans Friend" will appeal to gen.
erous hearts in North Carolina who have
ever held that benefactions such as are
needed there are the best of investments
for the future.
Here is what is said, and it is re-
published here in the hope that as it is
read many will respond cheerfully and
largely to the urgent needs of the or
phans, the children of the State:
cat the last meeting of the board of
directors, which was held in December
it was decided that arrangements should
be made for the accommodation of thir-
ty-two more children in the asylum. This
has been done at a cost of more than
three hundred dollars and many of the
new children have already been received.
There are now "a in the institution and
several more are expected. We have
more than enough applications on file to
run the number to the limit, 256. The
boys dining room is now so full that
there is scarcely walking space left for
the little girls who wait on the table.
OF course this increase in the number of
children is accompanied by a correspond
ing increase in the demand for bread and
meat. During the past week over twelve
hundred loaves of bread were used, or
about IL barrels of flour per day. The
weather has been bitter cold. The chill
dren have needed warm clothes. The
new ones have needed uniform suits.
This increase in the demand for food and
clothes calls for an increase in funds,
and this increase in funds calls for an
increase in the number and size of the
donations We are aware that the past
year has been a hard one in many sec
tons of the State The farmers, or
rather the farms, failed to produce a full
crop, and failure among the farmers
means failure to business in general, for
the farmer controls it all. The steam
engine which goes flying through the
country at full speed is not to be COM
pared in real power to the pillow which
gides slowly through the unbroken
soil. But the hard part Of the winter
has passed and the heralds of spring are
beginning to appear. With the first warm
rays of the sun comes a new ray of hope
and stimulus to the farmer The eX-
perience in the past years has been that
short crop of one year is generally fol-
lowed by full harvest in the succeeding
year. And, above all, we have the assur-
ance that our God has never failed and
never will Although we have started
this year with twenty-five more children
than at this time last year, the receipts
so far have been much smaller. Flour
and meal and meat have been and are
much higher than for several years.
And as the spring approaches and bust
ness takes on new life. we hope that
many will feel constrained to give few
dollars of their earnings to the cause
which represents the hope of the future. "

TIE DAY NURSERY.
1t is Hoped That it May be Opened Within the
Next Few Months

Mrs. w. H. Williamson says she has
500 in hand towards the DAY Nursery
she is working so hard to make a success,
She now hopes to be able to open the
nursery at least on a small scale within
the next few months. She does not go
into this without realizing all the diff
culties to be overcome-the securing
house in the right locality, equipping
and providing and managing same, and
by no means the least, the hard task OF
educating the mothers up to the knowl-
edge of how great benefit this nursery
will be to them. Besides all this, there
is another obstacle-"public opinion.
There are many who will throw cold
water on the plan. To all such we say:
IF you have no word of encouragement
to offer us, kindly say nothing"
The Day Nursery will yet be success.
