OPENS ON WILSON.
Mr.. Coburn Gives Out Facts About
Turkey Red Wheat.

T. d. Coburn, secretary of the Kan
sas state board of agriculture opened
up his guns on Secretary Wilson and
the United States department of agri-
culture today in bulletin in which he
says that the remarkable increase in
the Kansas acreage of spring wheat
and Turkey red wheat is doubtless due
to the constant hammering of the
United States department of agrfcul-
1ure in favor of the socalled "maca-
roni wheat" According to Mr.. Coburn,
Mr. Wilson's declaration that maca-
roni wheat is especially adapted to
"semi-arid'' regions is driving the
macaroni wheat out of Kansas. This
is Mr.. Coburn's bulletin:
IF most of those who are supposed
" well informed as to Kansas grain
crops and their relative Importance
were asked to name the four most
largely grown the chances are that
wheat would be put first, corn second.
oats third and rye fourth. This order
no doubt would be generally accepted
without question. but the fact is bar
ley has superseded rye in the quartet,
and Of course corn should head the
list. as II is by far the most valuable
product of Kansas soil Kansans how
ever. in the discussion of the crops
and crop situations. are prone to give
wheat the greatest prominence, be-
cause Kansas is the leading wheat
growing state in the world.
statistics in the latest report of
the state board of agriculture show
that the yield of rye twenty years ago
was nearly five times greater than that
Of barley. but in 1906 the yield of bar
ley was over ten times more than rye
and in ten of the past twelve years
barley has outyielded rye. IL the
twenty years ending with 1906 the
aggregate yield of barley was five mill
lion bushels more than that of rye
Farley thus far has been distinctly a
western county crop. and its large in
crease in acreage is doubtless due to
the recent rapid development of that
part of the state.

and from the Harvard law school in
1898. For the next four and a half
years he practiced law in Boston. Two
years of that time he lectured at the
Harvard Law School. In the year
1902, Mr.. Conant came west and took
a position on the faculty Of the ILL
nois College of Law. The next year
he came to Washburn-

department speaks for itself. He be-

with a small class, and in class rooms
on the top floor of the building at the
corner of West Eighth and Jackson
streets. The interest in the school,
under his management increased from
the very first and in a short time it
was recognized a strong institution
and with a big future before it.
Just two years after its organization
Dean Conant secured the admission of
the school to the Association of Amer
lean Law Schools. This is the first in
stance in the history of the association
in which a law school has gained ad-
mission before it had graduated a
class. Membership in this association
means that the Washburn law depart
ment has met all the stipulations of
the American Bar Association requi-
site to the position of a standard
law school. There are only IL out or
the los law schools in America that
nave this standing. These practical
results are the best tributes that could
possibly be given to the work of Dean
Conant
Mr.. Ccnant goes to Nebraska Uni
versity Law School to fill the profess
orship made vacant by the resignation
of Dean Rosco Pound, of that school.
Dean Pound resigned to accept the
Deanship of Northwestern Law
School. Mr.. Conant's successor has
not yet been selected buu-the trustees
have in mind who it will be. The
standard of the school VIII be kept up
and the future of the school is as
sured.
Mrs. Conant. it will be remembered,
was the head of the vocal department
at Bethany College of this city for two
years and has been prominent in mu-
steal and social circles of the city.

Topeka are sorry to see Mr.. and Mrs.
Conant leave.

there was an increase of 100 per cent in
acreage, and in the year following its
acreage was over 100 per cent more than
the area sOwn in 1905. Except five, every
county in the state had spring wheat,
the most of it, however, being in the
western counties. These striking in
creases naturally attracted attention
from the state board of agriculture, and
in making up the statistical forms for
this year they were so arranged as to
bring out more particular information
on the subject Returns already re-
ceived from forty-eight counties, includ-
ing those foremost in spring wheat pro-
duction, show that the increased sowing
is probably due to the extraordinary ad-
vertiSing and push given in recent years
to the durum fmacaronD spring wheat
by the United States department of
agriculture. It's officials have been ac-
lively exploiting those as extremely de-

years reports from the 40 counties thus
far heard from by the board of agricul-
ture show that of the increased area in
spring wheat So per cent is sown to
durums. These wheats are said to be
particularly adapted for making maca
roni, and the department of agriculture
claims that the demand for them greatly
exceeds the supply.
THE governments experts say the
macaroni wheats have a great future
for making, but this is denied by
other competent authorities, especially
when their products are compared with
breads from the hard Turkey red wheats
and a northern milling journal of in
ffuence and great prominence insists
that the macaroni is merely what was
formerly the well-known and very
ordinary goose wheat.
No doubt there are inches in the
worlds wheat markets that the durum
wheats can usefully fill, but the present
consensus of opinions seems to be that
wherever the hard. red Turkey wheats,
so famous for their excellence, can be
profitably grown as. in Kansas, no con-
siderable production of the durums
should be urged. 1t is improbab BILE that
the hard winter wheats will ever be
displaced b. the macaroni, but where

WHEAT LOOKS WELL.
ID. j. Hanna Brings Good Reports
From Graham County.

D. ]. Hanna, ex-lieutenant governor,
is in the city today and for com
plexion is wearing a beautiful coat of
tan which in way entities him to
talk of farming and the prospects for
crops in his part of the state. After
a false start two in which he at
tempted to start boom for governor
for one of his particular friends he
said:
Wheat harvest in Graham county
will commence Monday and the pros
poets have been underestimated and
my guess is that the crop this year
will be double that of last. There are
about 10000 acres planted to wheat in
my county and 1 think that conserva-
tive estimate of the yield would be
between twelve and fifteen bushels to
the acre.
''All of the wheat was more or less
damaged but it was not the lack of
moisture nor the green bugs that
caused it but the late frosts This is
plainly shown for the wheat on the
uplandS is much better than that in
the bottoms where the frosts were the
heaviest.
Corn and alfalfa never looked bet
ter at this season of the year than at
the resent time and these crops will
return handsome yields. OF course
am farming and am one of the farm
ers who farms his farm. I have about
1900 acres of wheat which will be
ready for the harvesters by the first
of the week and the skeptical will find
me in the field If they care to make
the investigation
1.-The indications are that there will
be plenty of hands to care for the
crop and yet a few more men can I'M
doubtedly find employment for the
next few weeks. While the yield per
acre will not be as large as during
some years in the past. the quality
will be of the best and the large acre
age will bring a large sum of money
into the county"
