WANTS rs TO 100 BUSHELS.
coburn Says More Bushels and Tons
From Fewer Farms.

Topeka.-"I am wonderfully pleased
that there is promise of public atten-
ton being fixed upon the fact that our
lands, not in Kansas alone, but in
other states as well, are being farmed
in way so shiftless and unscientific
and so mistreated that their average
yields per acre are as a rule not half
what they should be, and in too many
instances not third of what they are
capable Of" said F. d. CoIurn, secre-
tary of the state board Of agriculture,
n discussing crop yields.
'In truth, considering the knowl-
edge within reach Of every farmer
who wishes or Is even willing to treat
his land and crops intelligently the
yields of nearly all our staple crops,
taking the country over, are disgrace
fully small.
But the tendency of the day Is
away from that sort of thing; this on
account of a larger intelligence, the
enhanced values Of land, larger pop
ulation which will compel in the near
future smaller individual holdings.
Our agricultural colleges, experiment
stations, farmers institutes and other
educational influences actively at
work everywhere, are pointing out the
unjustifiable extravaganza of present
methods, the causes that have uncon-
sciously brought them into vogue, and
the saving remedies.
"The movement Is of inestimable I'M
portance, and so long as farms produce
but 80 bushels of corn on ground that
should yield from rs to 100 bushels, 10
bushels of wheat where 40 should be
harvested, and other crops In like
ratio, there should be constant agita'
ton, and shall be glad to be In the
agitator class. Any well wisher for
his country can scarcely afford to do
otherwise.
More bushels and tons from fewer
acres, would make a slogan worth
while"

BELIEVE CORN IN FIELD
IS INJURED FROM COLD
TO TEST THE VITALITY OF sEED
ON HAND
Ten Eyek Asks for Sample Of Grain
F! shucked Before Rain and
Cold Spell and Samples
After Freeze.

Manhattan.-The following circular
letter has been prepared by Prof. A. M.
Ten Eyok, Of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college, and will be sent to
the farmers of Kansas:
There has been considerable agi-
tation among the commercial inter-
ests OF the country regarding the
probability that many farmers have
not saved good seed corn, and that the
corn which has been left in the field
has doubtless been badly injured for
planting, and that there may be a
scarcity of good seed corn for planting
next spring.
81 wish to make some investigation
of this subject as regards the amount
OF seed corn on hand and its quality
and vitality, and request that you sam
pie your seed corn, taking out rs aver
age ears from different parts of the
crib, removing six kernels from each
of these ears, two from near the top,
two from near the middle and two
from near the butt, taking the kernels
from opposite sides of the ear; the
plan being to get an average of the
whole ear. Place these kernels in the
envelope and mail to this office, where
termination tests will be made.
shall be pleased to make a personal
report of the results to you, and the
data may also be used for publication.
81 desire also to know something
about the condition of the seen corn;
when it was saved and how 1t was
stored. / would like also to secure a
field, such ears as might still be Sc
lected for seed, according to the judg-
ment of the farmer Would also like
to have some samples taken from the
crib from corn which was shucked be-
fore the rain and cold weather, II
there was such. II you can send or
der samples illustrating these condi-
tions please inform me and l shall
send other seed envelopes.
Put in each seed envelope q slip,
giving the name and address of grow
er, together with the name Of the
variety of corn and a description of
the conditions under which the sample
was taken.
81 shall be pleased to have you ans
wer the following questions:
az. How much seed corn have you
for sale?
"'2. Name variety.
"'3. Grade or condition Of seed?
az. Price per bushel?
"'5. Is the corn early or late In
maturing?
"'6. II the general test shows that
your seed corn is low in vitality will
you agree to make a termination test
of the kernels of each individual ear
in order that you may guarantee the
vitality of the seed corn which you Of
fer for sale?
""7. VIII you send such guarantee
to each purchaser of your seed cornT
Hoping you will take hold OF this
matter and help to make this inves-
tigation as complete and valuable as
possible, / remain, yours very truly,

Newton.-A meeting of the voters Of
this city was called by the president
of the Commercial club to consider
the commission from of government
for Newton. In response to this call
the club rooms were filled with men
who were apparently all in favor of
the project. The law governing this
form of government was read and
general discussion followed. Several
councilmen spoke heartily in favor of
it and other prominent citizens ex-
pressed the, same sentiment. Peu-
tons are being circulated.

were two things Governor Stubs went

Winter Wheat ls Not Hurt.

Salina.-The warm weather Of the
last few days has sent great deal of
snow that has been on the ground in
central Kansas the past several weeks
down the rivers and creeks, and much
of the ice that has laid on the ground
in hard crusts has also melted and dis
appeared. The reports from the var
ious wheat counties about the grow
ing crop of wheat is found to be in
about as fine a condition as could be
expected. There was some fear that
the ice might smother the plant, but
from the reports coming in from the
different counties the fears were
groundless.

Wichita Firms to Protest.

Wichtia.-Wichita corporations met
to protest against the corporation in

ports on the income OF Kansas corpora
lions is March /, and the tax must be
paid by June 1. The corporations will
ask that these dates be extended until
the federal courts pass on the consti-
tutionality Of the law. 1t provides
that corporations shall pay 1 per
cent tax on incomes above $4,000.
Wichita corporations say the law is
unfair, as it does not affect large
firms which are not Incorporated.

Tlme Is Too Short.

The county assessors of the state
which they layed before the state tax
commission. On account of the many
changes in assessors and the change
in the tax laws at the last session or
the legislature, many questions are up
for consideration. The chief obstacle
seems to be that the new law permits
but one assessor in township. There
are some townships in Kansas where
an assessor could not get on horse
and ride over the territory during the
time he is given to make the assess
ment, much less stop and put value
on the property. The Kearney county
assessor spoke Of one township in his
county which was thirteen miles wide
and twenty-four miles long. The as
SCISSOR from Chautauqua referred to
one township in his jurisdiction which
contained two third-class cities. Most
OF the assessors cited similar in
stances where it would be physical
impossibility for one man to make the
assessment in the time required by
law. The assessors were told that
there was no way to employ addition
al help. but that if they couldn't COM
plete the assessment they would have
to be given more time. Only twenty
eight of the 105 assessors of two years
ago were re-appointed. Twenty-eight
new ones were appointed and the coun-
ty. clerks in forty-nine of the smaller
counties must act as assessors under
the new law.

Stock Hurried to Market.

Abllene-The cattle feeders are
hurrying their stock to market to avoid
the falling prices anticipated as re-
suit of the boycott on meat eating.
The feeders have made no money this
winter because of the bad weather and
the high prices of corn and rough feed.
By sending their stock to market be-
fore it is ready for selling they will
be losers, but they are afraid that the
prices will be yet lower and are afraid
to take chances.

Want Taxes on Old Mortgages.

In western Kansas lands. Many OF
these mortgages were given twenty
years ago. The people who gave them
have moved away, and for years the
mortgages were considerd worthless.
Since the advance in western lands in
recent years spectators have been
buying up these old mortgages for a
song and are now trying to recover on
them. The tax assessors are also TAX
ing a hand in the matter.
