FOR REFORM EDUCATION.
Practical Training Instead of College
Preparation.

. Topeka.-A movement is on foot
among the leading educators of Kan
sas to discard the old conventional
course of study in, the public schools
and install modern course. The dead
languages, higher mathematics and
some of the scientific studies are to
be dropped, except by pupils who ex-
pect to use those things in their life
work. The new plan is to give each
pupil the education that will do him
the most good in his chosen trade or
profession.
In order to effect this change it also
will be necessary for the universities
and colleges of the state to change
their courses of study. AS 1t is now
high school courses are devised to
meet college requirements; the new
plan contemplates that college courses
shall be devised to meet high school
requirements.
The new movement has reached
that stage where it has become a po-
litical issue. In several Kansas towns
recently, where elections were held,
the insurgents" against the present
system won decisive victories. In To-
peka the insurgents" captured every
office of the school board but one.
This insures the installation of the
new system here next fall.
Educators of note say the high
schools should get down to practical
work and give pupils an education that
will fit them for their life work. Less
than 4 per cent of high school pupils
In Kansas ever go to college. The old
scheme is to use the high schools to
fit the per cent for college work and
ignore the SO per cent for life work.
This Is to be revised.
The proposed plan further contem-
plates that the school authorities and
the parents shall map out the life
work of the pupils. If pupil shows
aptitude for a certain profession or
trade he will be given course of
study along that line. A business
course will be established to equip pu-
pills who expect to engage in business.
Manual training schools will enlarge
their courses so as to include all the
important trades. The same will be
true of domestic science courses for
the girls.
kansas is waking up to the situa-
tion," said State Superintendent of
Schools E. T. Fairchild, land the in
dications are that she will lead all the
states in reforming her school system
to conform to modern and practical
lines"

Would Brand Tested Cows.

Topeka.-State Live Stock Commits
sioner Mercer is devising practical
plan for wiping out tuberculosis in
dairy herds in Kansas. He was given
$4,000 by the last legislature to make
a campaign against tuberculosis, but
says his department must have some
additional legislation before the dis
ease can be fought successfully.
CAS- it now is we are simply testing
herds here and there" said he. 1--WE
have not enough funds to make sys-
tematic fight. Furthermore, it will
take some new legislation. After we
clean up the dairy herds in a county
we have no way of keeping them
clean, because new cattle are being
brought in. My proposed plan Is to
have the Legislature authorize this de-
partment to make all the tests in all
counties of the state the same month
and then mark or brand every COW
that has been tested. After that re-
quire every COW that doesn't bear such
a mark or brand to be tested before
she can be moved from one county to
another, or from another state into
some county in Kansas. That would
enable the department to eradicate the
disease and keep dairy herds free from
disease.

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN
years.

81 am a man seventy years old. MY
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that l could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I callea
on two doctors, but they did me n0
good. l could get nothing to do any
good till l got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment About a year
ago my daughter got cake of Cuu-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time l began to use them my hands
we're all healed up and they have not
been mite, sore since. would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.

and they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So. Ell

THEY KEEP TEMPERATuRE UP
WHEN FROST THREATENS.
Underwood G. VIes Have Orchards
Near Hutchinson contalnts $4,000
Trees-one Covers $40 Acres
With 800 Bearing Apples

Hutchinson. burning of ordin-
airy smudges to keep the temperature
up on nights when frost threatens has
been succeeded in the orchards of the
most progressive Kansas growers by a
method still more certain of results.
This is the use of oil burners placed
at intervals among the trees.
One Of the Kansas orchards where
this modern system of frost fighting
is in vogue is that of the Underwood
& Viles company, four and one-half
miles east of Hutchinson, which has
Underwood & Viles company covers
$40 acres, 300 of which are bearing
apples, and the remainder planted in
other fruit. There are forty trees to
the acre, with two smudge pots to
each acre.
Just outside the house Of J. L. Pei
ham, the foreman, there is a big Their
mometer; another one hangs between
the house and the orchard. When
there are indications that the temper
ature may fall as low as 35 degrees
the employees of the orchard go from
pot to pot lighting the pots which are
to keep the buds and blossoms warm.
The pots are filled with ordinary fuel
oil with bunch of hay placed on top
which is lighted with a torch, as the
oil will not become ignited for some
minutes.
Altogether it requires carload of
oil for one nights burning of the
smudge pots. Two and half cars OF
oil are kept in storage all the time.
When once the pots have been fired a
thick cloud of smoke hangs over the
orchard, protecting mantle which no
frost can penetrate. While 1t black
ems the trees and even the blossoms,
it saves the buds that may mean thou
sands of bushels of apples and other
fruit to the grower. Experience has
shown that the smoke from the oil
burners will save buds on trees eight
and ten rows distant from the pots.
In the last week in March the
smudges were burned in the east I'm
derwood & Viles orchard on three
different nights. Two nights, with a
temperature of 22 degrees on the out
side, a temperature Of "a degrees at
the ground was maintained in the
heated area. On the other night, with
temperature of "a degrees outside,
the temperature in the heated area
could be raised no higher than 20 de-
grees. This was because a poorer oil
was used.
"Our work has demonstrated" w.
II. Underwood, one of the owners of
the orchard said, chat had the
smudges not been used at the time of
the three freezes, all the buds out at
that time would certainly have been
killed. The oil burners are sue

KANSAS TOP les
Experiment Stations on Poor Farms

Manhattan.-Ow to the general
prosperity in Kansas most Of the
counties find that their poor farms are
empty and that they are needless ex-
pense. Some of the counties have
leased their farms while others are
farmed by the superintendent Such
a state of affairs was called to the at
tention of the legislature last year and
a bill was passed that authorized the
College Extension Department of the
Kansas State Agricultural College to
sign contracts with the various county
commissioners for the use Of certain
parts of the poor farm as demonstrate
ing plots. The passage of such bill
has made the poor farm into small ex-
pertinent stations under the direct SUI
pervision of the Agricultural college
The college agrees to furnish all the
expert advice and supervision and the
superintendent agrees to follow di-
rections to the letter and to keep &C
curate account of all plowings, chop
pings, civilizations, etc. P. e. Crab
tree, of the College Extension De-
partment of the Agricultural college,
has charge of the demonstration
farms in the eastern part of Kansas,
and G. C. Wheeler in the western part
These men put in their entire time
from March LIST visiting these farms
and giving demonstrations.

GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito-
ba, dated March 18, 1910 says: That
Germany is anxious to secure share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal." The recent adj
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development
of trade between the two Countries
is now certain. The great men of
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With it's present $780,
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase it almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of it's increasing popula-
ton, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatfields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc-
ton of the United States, and but a
twelfth of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit of the demand for Canadi-
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
a great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov
eminent gives away in 100 acre
blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
SIS an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi-
dent of Minnesota says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels of
wheat to the acre and had 30 acres Of
which l had fax of which got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres
in oats and got 70 bushels per acre
and 500 bushels potatoes on one and
three quarter acre, and can therefore
safely say that had fine crop and
am well satisfied with my homestead"
He is considered but small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others, hundreds Of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly
greater. The story of the experience
of American farmers in the Canadian
West is long one. The time to go,
would appear to be now, when splen-
did selections may be made, and
where land can be purchased at prices
that will be doubled in couple Of
years

Corporations Pay Taxes.

Corporations are beginning to pay
their taxes under the new corporation
tax act, which is part of the Payne
tariff bill. The administration at first
estimated that this law would bring
the government about $25,00000O an
nually. Experts now say that 1t will
probably net the government $6O,0OO,-
900 year. The listing of corporations
the country over for taxation purposes
has developed the fact that hte Ken
sas-Oklahoma taxing district contains
more corporations than any other tax
ing district, except one, in the United
States. In other words, more corpor-
atoms have been organized under the
laws of Kansas and Oklahoma than
any other district, save one.

Applications for Harvesters Appear

Topeka.-So anxious are farmers
over the state to secure men for the
harvest season that they are already
filing their applications for harvest
hands with Charles Harris, director of
the State Free Employment Bureau.
Last month Mr.. Harris sent out blanks
to be filled in and returned. showing
the number of men to be needed dur
ing harvest in each locality. 1t has
been said that the wheat crop will be
short because of the hard winter, but
the farmers who want men seem to
think they are going to have wheat
and plenty of it.

Former Grain Inspector Case.

John w. Radford, former chief grain
inspector of Kansas, may not have to
stand trial on the charge of embez-
cling state funds. Judge Hugh j..
Smith of the Wyandotte county court
of common pleas has ruled to quash
the indictment against Radford. The
ruling was made on a motion by at
torneys for Mr.. Radford, who asserted
no offense had been committed under
the Kansas statute. The prosecution
will ask the supreme court to pass on
Judge Smiths ruling.
Mr.. Radford had been state grain
inspector for four years when he was
removed upon Governor Stubs cleo
tion year ago. When the books were
audited it Is alleged they were short
$1,000.

Supreme Court Tough on Preachers.

The supreme court had a fall-out
with a lot of preachers who conduct
the Garfield Biblical Institute in Bour-
bon county in a decision just handed
down. The case affected the title 10
some property in Bourbon county.
The preachers put up the claim that in
the suit filed to secure possession of
some land they claimed to own they
were never served with the proper pa
pers. They denied that they had been
srved in any way. The supreme court
put the preachers in the Ananias club
in its decision, holding that they had
not only been served with the papers
but that they were drawn up in the
proper form.
