Latest Kansas Events.
To Discuss Corn.

Since the alfalfa day was so gen
orally observed all over the state, de-
spite the stormy day, the Kansas
State Agricultural college is announc-
ing a corn conference" for January.
The idea is to have not one meeting
only in the county, but as many meet
ings as there are general trading
points, thus making it unnecessary for
farmers to make special trips to the
institute, simply meeting at their
usual trading towns Corn has been
the leading subject at every farmers
institute in eastern Kansas for over
two years and now the idea is to bring
the discussions to certain lines of ac-
ton by or through these conferences
of thousands of farmers. The points
suggested for discussion are: Prepare
ton of ground, selection of seed, grad
ing, testing for termination, methods
of planting, methods of cultivation. In
StituteS in the extreme western cOun-
ties are asked to meet on the same
day, and if they do not care to dis
cuss corn it is suggested that they
discuss durum wheat and milo maise.
the latter being considered by the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton as an excellent substitute for corn
where the rainfall is 20 inches or less.

Kansas Men LARGER.

Drummers are an interesting set of
fellows and every time any of them
strike town they unwind many little
interesting storyettes that relieve the
tedium of the days, says the Arkansas
City Traveller The latest story to
emanate from the fertile brain of a
drummer is that the men of Kansas
are bigger than in any other state in
the Union, taking them man for man.
This salesman in question represents
an Eastern clothing manufacturing es-
adjustment. His declaration that the
Kansas men are larger than those in
other states is accounted for by his
own solution. He says the Kansas
men were all reared on the farms and
that their shoulder and chest develop
ments are greater than those of the
males of other older states. He de-
clared that width between shoulder
blades of the average Kansan was
greater than that of any other state
through which he travelled, and says
his house always sends more big
mems clothes to the Sunf1ower state
than elsewhere.

Live Stock Industry.

Importance of the live stock indus
try to an agricultural country, and in
turn the enormous benefits to America
from proper trade relations with other
countries touching the production and
marketing of meats. were touched
upon with interest by Colonel William
A. Harris of Lawrence in an address

Harris pleaded for conservation of the

favored the creation of a commission

JUDGE Holt to Resign.

The latest announcement in Kan
sas City politics was made when
Judge William G. Holt, for Is years
Judge of the common pleas court, is
sued a statement to the effect that
he would not be a candidate for re-
election 1t was through Judge
Hollis court that Assistant Attorney
General Trickett proceeded against
the saloon interests of the city and
county and so effectually put them
out of business. The reason given by
the judge for not being a candidate
for reelection is the fact that the
salary of the office, which is $4,000
a year, is too small compensation for
the labor required.
