BIG KANSAS CORN CROP.
Pupils Dismissed From schools to
Help In the Husl<inE.

Kansas will produce an unusually
large crop of corn this year. says To
peka correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. 1t is large in the
number of bushels which Will be pro-
duced on each acre. and the ears and
stalks of the grain itself are large.
Photographs of cornfelds which have
been received by L. d. Coburn, secre-
tary of the State Agricultural society.
show that the cornstalks will be enor-
nous. Some of the stalks which have
been shipped to the statehouse at To
peka are from fourteen to seventeen
feet in height, and it is eight feet from
the ground to the first ear Of corn.
These large stalks have nour.shment in
them, for more than one ear Of corn is
on each stalk, and on many there are
two and three full sized ears
One evidence OF the size of the corn
crop is the fact that in many agricul-
tural districts the schools We're dis
missed for two weeks in order that the
pupils might be allowed to help their
parents h,sk the corn. Reports have
been received by 1. L. Dayhotf, state
superintendent Of public instruction
from several districts in which the pu-
pills and the teachers We're helping;
the farmers gather their large corn
crops before cold weather began. In
one school district in Nemaha county,
a few miles south Of Sabetha, the
board Of trustees decided upon a vaca-
ton which shall last until after Christ
mas for the purpose Of allowing the
larger boys to work in the cornfields.
Some of the largest corntields and
the best production in the state are
near the northern border. This is the
corn belt. L. w. Chesley, who lives
near Frankfort, in the heart Of the corn
belt, has sent to Mr.. Coburn photo
graph of one of his fields. The stalks
are much taller than he, and he is IL
man Of more than six feet in height.

Armour; Private Car Owner.

Armour; Private Car Owner.
[F'rom The Railroads on Trial. by
Ray Stannard Baker, in the January
McClure's.l
Ten years ago no one dreamed of the
enormous expansion of this strange
system of private ownership Of railroad
rolling stock. Examine almost any
freight train today on any railroad in
the country, and it will be found that
one or more of the cars, often every
car in the train. bears not the name
of the transportation company, whose
lawful obligation it is to provide the
necessaries of commerce, but the name
and the tlaring advertisements OF pri-
vate persons who are not common car
riers at all. Today over three hundred
private freight car lines are in flourish
ing existence, operating 100000 cars
And the number includes not only
stock and refrigerator cars, but all sorts
of curious by developments, private
cars for breakfast foods, beer, furni-
ture farm machinery, eggs. stone lum
Der, lard carriages, and many other
commodities. Trains there are today
which resemble nothing so much as
flying bill board, advertising every
UulHS from uellclOuS Sausage W
perfect pickles."
The largest single owner Of private
cars is Armour Of Chicago, who con-
trolls a dozen or more car lines and
not only fruit and meat cars but many
tank cattle. and even ordinary box
constructing altogether a business
of magnitude difficult to conceive.
OF refrigerator cars alone he has over
$4,000. representing an investment of
some $14,00O.O 900. Nearly every great
trust is an owner of private cars; that
is one reason, as I shall show, why
the trust is trust and why 1t contin-
ues a trust. The Standard Oil Com
pany owns thousands of private tank
cars. and the steel trust thousands of
ore and coal cars. Not included among
the private freight car owners we have
also the sleeping car trust, owning
thousands of Pullman cars which are
in reality private cars, and the ex-
press trust with thousands Of express
cars.
Armour and his associates in the
beef trust, as the largest owners OF
private cars and perhaps the worst Of
fenders-though we haven't yet had the
Pullman car trust, the express COM
panies, the brewers. and others in the
full light of publicity-will furnish the
best Illustration Of the peculiar oper-
alton and effect of the private car sys-
tenn. What is true of Armour is true
in greater or less degree Of every pri-
vate car owner.
Armour's enterprises are known by
many names. Many names give the
appearance of competition. We have.
for example, the Armour Refrigerator
Line the Fruit Growers. Express. Ar
mour & Co., Continental Fruit Express,
Barbarossa Refrigerator Line, Kansas
City Fruit Express, Tropical Refrigera-
tor Express and others. But they are
all under the control of corporation
known as the Armour Car Lines, and
that in turn is owned by the same per-
sons who own the Armour Company
otherwise j. Ogden Armour and his
family-the mainstay of the beef trust.

JAPANESE FOR TEXAS.
Plan to Establish Colonies For Ten

Hl0n TO ESt0 dish colonies FOR VetS
and Silk Production.
A large syndicate in Japan has en-
tered on the business of colonizing in
Texas and other southern states Japs-
nese families from those parts of Js.-
pan where the tea and silk industries
lead, says a Washington special dis
patch to the New York Times. The
agent of the syndicate, Mr.. Akioki, was
a visitor at the department Of agricul-
ture the other day, seeking great va
riety of information in regard to the
climate and resources of the Lone Star
State. Soon after he left for Tokyo to
conduct the first colony across the Pa
cific to their new home in the United
States.
There will be 800 families in the par
ty, and Mr.. Akioki has bought for
them solid tract Of 10000 acres in
Bee county. He showed the deeds to
the officials at the department of agri-
culture and described the tract as pos
sessing all the natural advantages de-
sired for tea farming and silk raising.

tonic is the nearest town to the pro-
posed colony, and the expectation is
that the newcomers will make good cit
liens and intermarry and coalesce with
their Texas neighbors.
Mr.. Akioki says that If the first col
ony is a success he will buy another
tract on which he has an option, and in
this there are 100000 acres, enough to
make homes for 5000 families. There
is small colony Of Japanese now in
Bee county. They have devoted them
selves to raising tea and this year sold
their products with good profit.

What Corn Accomplishes.

Harpers' Weekly.-Corn-fed pork
furnishes cur tables with millions of
hams and sausages, besides bacon
and lard. Corn produces the best of
poultry and eggs, of which alone we,
as a nation, consume more when
measured by dollarsl than we do of
wheat. Of cornstarch we use about
$7000.0O0 per year, to say nothing of
the enormous consumption Of glue,
combs and other products made from
the horns, hoofs, and hair of those
corn-fed animals. To all these we
must add a product of corn-oil (maxi-
mum, $4,000 dai.y), largely used in
paints; and the by-products of corn
oil, starch, glucose, whiskey and alco-
hol, dried and sold in cakes, for ami
NAL food, amounting TO millions of
dollars. per year Nor is that all that
corn accomplishes. Besides giving
food and clothing in the form of ami
NAL and vegetable products, as indi-
Gated, it gives life and strength to

exist. Although no announcement
has been made of the company's in
tention to make any change in its
motive power except on the stretch
between Woodlawn and the Grand
Central station, where the improve
ments now under way necessitate it,
the railroad world is not blind to the
possibilities of the new engines. Me
chanical engineers have been met by
the difficulty of transforming the al
ternating current generated in the
powerhouse into direct current pow
erful enough to operate trains at long
distances from the central station
theoretically, this difficulty can be
overcome by dotting the line with sub
stations where rotary converters
transform the alternating current into
a direct one; but practically this
means such inceased expense for
maintenance, labor, fuel and other
items that the cid steam motive
power is preferable.
BY device perfected within the last
three years the new locomotives of
the New Haven road will transform
the alternating current themselves,
and in thus doing away with the nee
essity of expensive substations VIII

the operation of through trains by
