STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
Corn Yield OF Greater Value Than That
Of Wheat.

Topeka, Jan. 16.-At the meeting of
the State Board of Agriculture, Secre-
tary Coburn devoted good deal OF his
time in telling of the publications
which have been issued by the board
during the past year and the immense
circulation each has had. He eulogized
the great prosperity with which the
farmers have met and predicted anoth-
er prosperous year. In closing Secre-
tary Coburn said:
"Agriculturally the past year has
been one of the most productive in the
history of the state. In 1903 We're
raised the largest wheat crop ever
grown, and corn yield of greater
value than that of the wheat. Other
crops 8ourished. too, and gave opulent
yields in spite of a humidity that in
almost any other state than ours
would have meant failure. 1t would
seem that General Prosperity has per-
manently located in Kansas.
I'm being the official chronicler and
herald of such conditions for such a
constituency the State Board of Agri-
culture is favored in degree that is
enviable."
The report of President Churchill
was along the same line.

Thomas upton Trains American Horses
In ireland.
CAVALRY SERVICE OF EUROPE.
with Proper Stock OF Breeding HORSES
This Country Could Supply That
Continent with Cavalry Mounts For
Its Armies.
It's Armies

Washington, Jan. 19.-Although the
United States is deficient in creating
new breeds of animals, according to
Secretary Wilson, who outlined the
policy of the department of agriculture
to the house committee on agriculture,
Sir Thomas Upton buys horses and
pigs at Chicago. The horses, said the
secretary, he ships to Ireland and
trains them as jumpers, then sells
them in Great Britain to ''ten-stone
Englishmen' as Irish Jumpers The
pigs, of which he selects the thin ones,
he cans as Irish bacon, which he also
sells in England.
Secretary Wilson believes that the
United States can furnish the mounts
for the cavalry of Europe, with proper
study of the breeding of horses, and
the department is turning its attention
to this subject at the present time
The only thing the United States has
ever produced in the way of new
breeds, he says, is, perhaps, Il few
breeds of hens, although we have CON
verted a running horse into trotter.
Many other statements of unusual
interest We're made to the committee
by the secretary In discussing the
problem of irrigation, he said the ex-
perts of his department were studying
the problem of how to handle the soil
so as to conserve the water already
available. In this connection he men
toned the sugar beet crop, which he
said was steadily on the increase,
despite the dire predictions made at
the time of the passage of the Cuban
bill.
The forests of the country, the secre-
tary declared to be disappearing at an
alarming rate. He asked for an in
