on THE X. S. A. COLLEGE FARM
A Fine Wheat CrOp-Some Patches
Yielding so Bushels Per Acre.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 8.-The
agronomy department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college has lust I'm
lshed threshing wheat and early spring
grains. The oats and barley made very
low yields but the wheat was an excel
lent crop. We are unable to determine
the yields from a large number of the
plots in the trial Of different varieties
Of wheat on account of the fact that a
shock or two of each variety was re-
served to be sorted over by hand in or
Ger TO select pure type of wheat for
future planting. However. the Yields
from several plots have been determined
and have proved to be very large the
best yields ranging from SIS to 80 bushels
per acre. From the yields of these sew
eral plots III different portions of the
Held have estimated that our best field
of wheat including some IS acres in
area, has produced an average yield Of
over so bushels Of grain per acre This
seems Ike a very large yield but the
weight Of the grain threshed from the
several plots corroborates these figures.
Last season we harvested a very ex-
cellent wheat crop, which yielded on the
average something over 40 bushels per
acre. The large yield secured is due in
part to the fact that we are growing
some Of the best producing Va rietfes of
wheat. as shown by the trials of the
last few seasons az this station The
fertility Of the soil, the preparation Of
the seed bed. and the favorable condi-
tons for growth have had much to do
with the production Of this record break
ing crop. Some of this wheat was
grown in increase plots for the purpose
OF producing seed wheat and the

 MAKING A CONSTITUTION.
Several Interesting Features at Tuesday's Session of the OkIn-
 homn Convention.

Guthrie. Ok, Dec. 6.-From the standpoint of the gallery Tuesday probably was the most interesting of he session of the constitutional con Fention. By far the most sensational feature was the resolution presented by an Oklahoma delegate calling on the convention to draft law main taining the individuality of the church and state. The original resolution was a practical embodiment of a similar memorial from the Seventh Day Adventists. The latter is signed by 5000 voters and asks that no reference be made in the constitution to any day to be set aside for pub lie worship. These resolutions were referred to committees.
 Forty new blanks were proposed turing the day. The most important are those declaring the new state tC favor an amendment to the federal constitution providing for an income tax and allowing the delegates to name county lines.

AN EDITORIAL PROTEST.
Association Resoiye AgainstAny Increase in Postal Rates.

St. Louis, Dec. 6.--The executive committee of the National Editorial association met here Tuesday in an nual session. The two most import ant topics that will be discussed dur ing the three days of convention will be the ruling of the interstate com merce commission forbidding rail- loads to issue transportation for ad- vertising space and the proposal to increase the postal rate on newspapers from one cent to four cents a pound.
 The annual convention will be held at Norfolk, Va. about June 1. The following resolutions were adopted.
 Resolved, That we, members of the executive committee of the Ma tional Editorial Association in annual session, representing 10000 newspa- pers and periodicals, protest against any change in the postal laws of the United States that will cause an ad- vance in postal rates or charges on second class mail matter
 Resolved. That we believe it has been fully established that one cent pound is full and adequate pos tal charge for newspapers and peri odicals.
 Resolved, Further, that we protest against the charge that newspapers and periodicals cause any real loss, or ttat they are subsidized by the pay ment made by the government to meet a deficit that is really the result of the cost of postal matter carried for the government"

Delicate, weak, nervous women should especially shun the use of alcoholic medicines which, from their stimulat- ing and collaborating effects may seem, for time, to do good, but which from the inevitable effects of the alcohol in shrinking up the red corpuscles of the blood are sure to do great and lasting harm in the long run. Besides they beget a craving for stimulants which is most deplorable.
 Only invigorating and nerve strength ening effects can follow the use of this famous medicine for women. It can not possibly do harm in any state or condition of the system. It has been carefully adapted to woman's needs by an experienced physician--a specialist in their diseases. It makes weak wom- en strong and sick women well.
 If woman has bearing down, or dragging pains, low down in the abdo- men, or pelvis, backache, frequent headaches, dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and easily startled, has gnaw-. ing feeling in stomach, sees imaginary floating specks, or spots before her eyes, has melancholia, or vblues,p or a weakening disagreeable drain from pel- vic organs, she can make no mistake by resorting to the use of Dr. Pierce s Favorte Prescription. It will invigor- ate and tone up the whole system and especially the pelvic organs.
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful physi- clan, and adapted to woman's delicate system. It is made of native American medicinal roots and is perfectly harm less in it's effects in amy condition Of the female system.
