PRETTY BIG EAR OF CORN.
A Farmer Near Elk City Has One
With "a Rows of Kernels.


Elk City, kan, Feb. Warren
Davis, a prosperous farmer living
north of town, was in the city yester-
day with an ear of corn boasting "a
rows of kernels. the largest number
of rows on one ear of corn that has
ever been heard about in this section
of the country at least.
A corn show was -iven in a car on
the Missouri Pacific tracks, at this
city. by the Kansas State Agricul-
turaI college and the Missouri Pacific
Railroad company. The specimens of
corn shown are very fine and some of
them are nearly model ears The idea
of the show is to give the farmers of
Kansas a knowledge of the different
varieties of corn that can be grown,
which variety Is most indigenous to
their particular section of. the state
and how the yield can be improved
The most of the specimens are prize
winners at various contests. These
specimens can be purchased by the
farmers # they so desire. While the
corn shown in this exhibit is very fine,
indeed, the farmers about Elk City
feel that they grow corn right here at
home equally as good, if not better,
than that shown at the exhibit car.
Early Starks, a well known FARMER
living four miles west or Elk City,
purchased ten ears of corn at the corn
show being held in this city. MI
Starks paid SIS for the ten ears The
corn is of a new variety that he de-
sfres to test on his farm.

Salina, Kan, Feb. 1.-Salina has

young ladies' class in the Sabbath
sch DOL of the Christian church. On
the oath of last-June the plans for en-
larging this class started and on that
day there were four young ladies
present. The work was done entirely
by the young ladies who were mem
bers of the class at that time. By
October II the class had assumed
such proportions that it was found
necessary to form a regular organiza-
ton. So officers were elected and the
class was divided into blocks of ten"
with a captain in charge of each. The
total enrolment of the class al present
is lis, and new members are being
constantly added. The officers are;
