Saving the Orchards.

Experimental work in the elimina-
ton of insects and diseas which aff1ict
fruit growing have been carried on by
the entomology department of the uni
versity during the summer, which Will
be of great value to the farmers OF
Kansas. A party Composed of Prof.
P A. Glenn, Victor Chesky, r. D.
Linsdey and Rollin Perkins, instruc-
tors in entomology at the university,
has been working for the past two
months in the orchards in the Arkan-
sas River valley. The San Jose scale
and the Cooling moth have in the past
few years caused the loss of thousands
of dollars worth of fruit to the fruit
growers in all parts of the state. Dur
ing the summer the party of entomo-
Iogists sent to the section of the state
where the complaints were coming
from has discovered a remedy to de-
stroy these pests in the orchards.

Put Out Her Baby's Eye.

Mrs. Fred Keller of Harper put out
the eye of her six-weeks-old daughter
with pair of scissors. The mother, a
hard working woman of limited means,
had placed her babe on the floor near
the machine where she was working in
order that she might give it the neces-
sary attention. Noticing that the flies
were bothering the child she reached
out her hand to chase them away and
in so doing brushed the scissors off
the machine. In falling the sharp in
strument opened and penetrated the
infants eye lid The doctor who was
called forced open the lid and said the
eye itself was found to be running out.
The mother is frantic with grief.

To Test Value of Kansas Clay.

An extensive movement for the pu-
pose of developing the clay industry
in Kansas is to be begun this summer
by the University of Kansas, under the
direction of Prof. E. Haworth, head
of the geological department. A spe-
cial appropriation has been made for
this work, and the work of inyestiga-
ton as to the extent and kind of clay
deposits in the state will occupy an
entire year. A party of biologists will
leave the university in a few days to
visit in several sections of the state
for the purpose of determining where
the most extensive clay deposits are
located A large kiln for the burning
of the clay is to be erected at the uni
versity, and samples are to be shipped
in from all over the state and tested
to find their commercial value. A
class is also to be organized in the fine
arts school for the purpose of making
all kinds of artistic models out of the
clay. Prof. Haworth is convinced that
ceramic industries can be made one of
the greatest resources of the state
with the proper encouragement

A Fake pirectorv Graft.

Fake directory and atlas agents
have taken over $1,000 out of the
farmers of South Dickinson in the past

contributed, regardless of the most ex-
travagant promises and statements.
The graft was easy and now that the
