DON'T THINK MUCH
OF SPRING WHEAT

Secretary Coburn is a good deal
disguised by some Of the situations
growing out Of the alleged condition
Of the winter wheat. He says: 1.-THE
hired crop-killers-and the cropkill-
or never fails to find what he Il
sent after-are junketing up and
down and across the state by every
train as never before, seeing small
fractions of a dozen counties and re-
porting on the Observation-Disclosures,
and keeping the wires warm with
their messages telling of the 'enor-
nous damage done, and because Of It,
as Is intended, suckers are biting and
being bitten every minute"
All this has started a lot Of talk
about sowing spring wheat on the
ground where the winter wheat is
found actually killed. Coburn is
hostile to the spring wheat sugges-
ton for Kansas for several reasons.
Firstly, he claims that "the history
of grain-growing in Kansas shows
clearly that spring wheat fields are
the most successful chfnch bug nur-
seyies yet discovered, a fact we'll
worth considering, particularly III a
season when entomologists ara pre-
dieting chinch bugs in far moro than
usual numbers. Further, the pre-
vaIence of these insects and the
damage they did when spring wheat
was q prominen crop, and the fact
that they have virtually disappeared
since spring wheat sowing has been
80 largely abandoned should afford
a lesson farmers canno. well ig-
nore."

How One Resident Of Abilene Looks
At the Situation.

Editor Reflector: Yes, the paving

the interurban doubtful necessity,
the canning factory left out last

Of our city affairs. Is It any wonder
that business men are afraid to cast

II there is a city official in this

Who ever is responsible for the late

ture. This situation needs handling
without gloves. | heard a working
man talk a few days ago and this
was what he said, II am going to

This is no place for Q laboring man.

Of a lot Of unfayorable comments
from retired farmers, laborers and
the working class generally.
We make a lot of fuss about
Washington's birthday and Lincoln
patriotism and we don't know the
meaning of the word. Where are
the lights for the whole town and
some of the other things the present
administration promised the voters
of Abilene. If they can not make
good why don't they tell why?
l did not vote ON the commission
form of city government because I
knew the election was not arranged
as 1t should be and considered the
time thrown away. A large number
of Abilene people never had chance
to find out what the commission form
of city government was. / am we'll
aware that the questions involved
are likely to affect businessmen in
general way. This Is very evident
as no one seems to protest. But /
will say this much, If it hurts my
business all right. This world is a
big place and l am not worried.
l helped to elect the present sit
lation, am sorry to say, and have
waited patiently for results, see
none, and l will never vote for an
other one Of these people again un-
Ill / see some more tangible evi-
ience Of ability than | see now. Any
body can print this that wants to.
II there is anybody in Abilene who
mas nerve enough to say what they
10 think l would like to be intro
