Greenwood is the other county having
over 10000 acres, and there are "a coun-
ties which have between that numper
and 10000 acres. Doniphan has the
smallest area, 149 acres. and has only
1872 acres of the saccharine sorts, which
may be accounted for by the fact tnal
DoniDhan is one of the most reliable
corn producing counties. Wyandotte
makes no return, and 80 counties report
a loss of 60,525 acres, the largest de-
crease being 1856 acres in Dickinson.
where the saccharine sorghums are also
less by 5000 acres, but as Dickinson
county is in the famous wheat belt it is
supposed that this area was devoted to
wheat instead.
"Saccharine sorghums for forage and
grain have also made excellent progress
in areas, and have now over a half
million acres devoted to their growing,
which is practically the same as last
year and the year before (190O), when
they reached the highest mark or 542,-
622 acres. Kaffir corn, however, has
shown a steady increase, excepting
slight setback in 1897. After three years
trial, the statistics for the fourth (1S96)
mutely show the Kansas farmers en-
phatic approval of this new plant by
devoting an area to its production con-
siderably larger than that given to the
saccharine sOrghums, and its paintings
continued to increase while the sorghums
appeared to make no gains in recent
years.
1T is a significant and noteworthy
fact that the prosperity Of the past de-
cade is contempOraneous with the
recognition of alfalfa and kaffir corn in
the agricultural economy of Kansas,
and no one can successfully deny that
these two crops have been big factors
in its realization. By the fact that
kafir corn can be successfully grown in
all localities. of it's being a strong re-
sistant to protracted heat and dryness,
and it's proved feeding qualities, close or
practically equal to corn, it promises to
become principal resource in a region
where live stock is the predominating
interest and the production of. corn
something of an uncertainty"

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Wards minstrels, who performed be-
fore a fair-sized audience last night at
the Crawford. were like all minstrel
shows, more imposing in print than they
were in reality. The words gorgeous,
spectacular" elaborate marvellous"
refined" splendid" extraordinary"
grand" ETC., occur quite frequently on
the programme, the same as on all min
strel progra mines.
One. or two comparatively modern
jokes were launched. They did not sing
Down in the deep let me sleep when
die" but they did use substitute which
was almost an infringement on the once
popular lower basement ballad The
'spieler" promised a grand and beau
tiful electrical innovation in scientific
bag punching" as a closing number, and
the audience evidently believed him, for
they continued to sit still and wait for
the grand innovation An athletic
young man pounded leather ball for
few minutes and retired The colored
lights or electric business which the peo-
pie watched for was absent. 1t became
necessary for member of the troupe to
come out and announce that it was "ah
over before the people would leave.
The Ward MINISTRIES travel in good cars.
It is evident that the business pays.

THE OHIO CLUBS PICNIC.
Congressman Calderhead Delivered
the Address at Garfield Park.

At Garfield park yesterday, $50 men,
bers of the Ohio club enjoyed a picnic
and basket dinner. A roll call to de-
termine which county of Ohio had the
biggest representation at the picnic de-
veloped the fact that almost every
county was represented and that
Stark and Pelmont counties had the
largest delegations, being represented
by seven persons each.
Most of the Ohioans at the picnic
have been away from their native state
since childhood and naturally the stor-
les that were snapped were of the ear
lier days in that state. ]. H. FOUGHT,
president of the club, presided over the
meeting in the afternoon. DR.. H. w.
Roby read a little poem entitled, IAN
Ohio Extravaganza" Miss Helen Nor
row, Miss Fern Fitzpatrick, Miss Ora
Miller and Mrs. Lillian Catch gave rec
itations and Congressman w. A. Cald-
erhead, of Marysville. delivered the
principal address on "Ohio People and
Ohio Events" He talked principally of
the great men who won national repu-
tations for themselves and who came
from Ohio. He concluded by saying,
Il dare say that although Ohio is
great state and has produced many
great men. we are all satisfied that
Kansas is the next greatest state and
are glad we live here, and would prefer
our homes here than in Ohio. Kansas
is the richest agricultural district on
the face of the globe

Quay's Failure to Settle Strike
Has Depressing Effect.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Sept. 4.-President
Baer's declaration that the miners
strike cannot be settled except on the
terms heretofore stated by the coal
entire strike region. The business in
terests were very hopeful that the meet
ing between the president of the Phil
adelphia & Reading company and Sen
ators Quay and Penrose would result in
a peaceful settlement of the conflict
but today a feeling of depression exists
everywhere.
At strike headquarters President
Mitchell discussed Mr. Baer's statement
with some of his Ieutenants but he de-
clined to say anything for publication.
He said some time soon he may reply
to the Baer statement
Mr.. Mitchell denied the report that he
had received a communication from J.
Pierpont Morgan asking him to state
the best terms upon which he would set
tie the strike.

WILD DISORDER
Marked Proceedings of Pennsyl-
vania Union Convention.

Philadelphia, Sept 4-The state conven-
ton of the Union party was marked by
scenes of wild disorder which resulted in
One faction of the party favored the in
dorsement of the Democratic state ticket
headed by Robert E. PattisOn for govern
or, while the other faction favored the Re-
publican ticket. headed by Samuel W. PEN

of the convention machinery. In the mix
up. pistols and knives were hourished,
some men were struck by blackjacks and
others by chairs. The Pennypaeke adher-
confusion Endorsed the Republican ticket
The Pattison faction. under the leadership

While these figures indicate their
progress as competitors for popularity
and disclose the large difference be-
tween their annual paintings, they by
no means deDreciate the value of the

the best known forage plants in the
world, but show the marvellous advance
ment made by its youthful kin. which

first-class quality, but a fattening value

The statistics as returned to the state
board of agriculture for 1902 show that
Kaffir corn has gained in Kansas in the
past year nearly 100000 acres, or 81 per
cent Seventy-two counties report in
creases aggregating. about 100000 acres,
of which Norton gained the most, or
1856 acres, closely followed by Butler,
with an increase of $40 acres. Green
wood is next with S.55Z acres more, and
Anderson is greater by 7,640 acres. But
Ter has the largest area, viz, 35, 1872
acres; Lyon is second with 29.67S acres;
the combined acreage of these two in
1902 being 40 per cent. more than the
total for the state in 1888, when the crop
was first deemed of sufficient import
ance to be given recognition in the sta
tistics of the state board of agriculture.

KANSAS SORGHUMS.
Secretary C0burn Explains
Their Value For Forage.

During the past few years sorghum
and Kaffir corn have come to be recog-
nized as two of the staple crops OF Kan
sas, because of their value for forage,
but the average kanSan little realizes
how important these two crops have be-
come, especially in the western part OF
the state. They will grow where corn
and wheat are by no means certain, ana
they are extremely valuable in feeding
cattle. Secretary Coburn has just is
sued bulletin showing their advance
Inent in favor. He says:
THE sorghCms have occupied prom
inent place in the list of Kansas crops
almost from the states agricultural be-
ginning, being among those enumerated
in the earliest statistics of the board OF
agriculture These pioneer sorghums
were mostly if not wholly of the szaccha-
rine varieties. and served a triple Dur-
pose, viz, for the manufacture of syrup
and later of sugar. and for forage or
grain: now, however. more for the lat
ter. Conditions and circumstances seem
to have halted at least for a time the
manufacture of sugar from sorghum.
and interest in sorghum syrup making
is likewise gradually waning. as twenty
years ago the acreage grown for that
purpose in Kansas was considerably
over twice as large as now. while the
area planted for forage in 1902 is greater
than then by 9O5 per cent. 1t was early
found that these sorghums were ad-
mirably adapted to that part of Kansas
where corn is not considered reliable
crop, anu lnelT CULTIVATION ana use WAS
widely extended throughout that region
with commendable promptness. AS their
merits became better known their acre
age became more and more extended
until every county in the state had a
greater or less area
In 1888 the area of sorghum for for
age or grain was 53,771 acres, in 40
counties; in 1902 540,855 acres, in the 105
counties of the state. This of the sweet
varieties, and until ten years ago they
had no competitor for public favor. In
1893, however, statistics revealed in
kafir corn. one of the non-saccharine
sorts, rival, and its area was given
then as less than $4,000 acres, against
nearly $4,000 acres of the saccharine
kinds, for forage, grain and syrup, for
the same year. In 1902, the total area
in kafir corn alone is 748,17 acres; of
the saccharine varieties SCI, 266 acres,
or a difference in favor of the former
of 1S6.910 acres. 1873 per cent. AS
forage plants the sweet sorghulns rank
equally with the nOn-saccharine, such
as kafir corn, Jerusalem corn and milo
maize, particularly in western Kansas,
where higher altitude and dryer at
mosphere are especially favorable for
their curing and keeping.
THE following table shows the area
of saccharine sorghums for forage or
grain, and that of kafir corn in Kansas,

who knew this advised me to take
Grape-Nuts with me and I purchased

During the entire journey of five days
1 ate nothing but Grape-Nuts prepared
with milk and sugar and I gained
strength steadily and suffered no illness
whatever, besides at the end of the
journey found to my delight that

Biggest Tree in the world.

San Francisco, Sept. IA few weeks
ago there was discovered to the east
Of Fresno, in the Sierras, the biggest
tree in the world At the time it was
said that it measured $50 feet in cir
cumference. John Muir, the great
naturalist, has just visited the tree and
reports that it measures at the base
only 109 feet and at four feet above the
ground it was only 81 feet in circum-
ference. 1t is, however, larger than the
General Sherman and the General
Grant, which heretofore, were the recog-
nized monarchs of the forests.
