RAPS CROP KILLERS.
SECRETARY cosURN DlseusTEr WITH STORIES SENT OUT RE-
 oARDiNe WHEAT DAMAGE.
THE REPORTS ARE EXAGGERATED
Have Started Farmers Talking of Sow ing Spring Wheat. Which Meant chineh Bugs and Calamity for tht State, Says Mir. coburn.

Topeka. Mar. 1S.--Secretsry Coburn Of the Kansas board Of agriculture is a good deal diSgusted by some oi the situations growing out of the el lexed condition of the winter wheat He says the hired crop-killers-anc the crop-kiiler never fails to find whai he is sent after-are junketing uI and down and across the state by every train as never before, seeing small fractions Of a dozen counties and reporting on the northumberland five. and keeping the wires warm with their messages telling Of the 'enor nous damage done. and because of 1t. 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 hos. tile 10 the spring wheat suggestion for Kansas for several reasons. First. ly. he claims that "the history of grain. growing in Kansas shows clearly that spring wheat fields are the most sue. cessfui chinch bug nurseries yet dis covered. a fact well worth consider. ing. particularly in a season when entomologists are predicting chinch bugs in far more than usual numbers. Further. the prevalence of these in. sects and the damage they did when spring wheat was a prominent crop, and the fact that they have virtually disappeared since spring wheat sow ing has been so largely abandoned should afford lesson farmers cannot well ignore
 Secondly. Kansas, by demonstrat- ing her adaptability to growing the hard winter or Turkey wheats in greatest perfection has attained an unequalled place in the grain and four markets of the world, and she can only maintain this premier position by adhering to these tested varieties and improving them. Dabbling with in. numerable other sorts, which will SC to the markets as Kansas wheat can in time only result in wheat from this state having no particular identity, nc notable quality and no standing.
 Tt will be easy to fritter away our splendid advantages by experimenting with too many varieties; by one neigh borhood marketing carload of one sort, another a trainload of some. thing different, nobody knows just what, and still another a dab of dur um The hard winter wheat gives the state wealth and worthy fame, but spring wheat. judged by the past, is most suggestive of chinch bugs and calamity"

fNe SEMTE INSURGENTS
 ATTACK RAILROAD BILL
Open Debate of the Measure chsrae- ferixec by Hard Blows at
 Administration.

Washington, Mar. H. Crashing blows against the Taft railroad bili-- savage thrusts at the president him self. in fact, for alleged u1!ustified in- terference with the legislative pre- rogative. characterized the open de bate of the measure in the senate. The opening shots were fired by the in. snrgents. led by Cummins of Iowa But it was not long before the engagement became general.
 Haunted into reply. Hale of Maine. representing the administration forces, rose to lecture the opposition for de laying legislation and let forth hint of the purpose of those in charge of the bill by whip and spur to jan the measure thriugh at the earlioss date possible
 It was an i'll advised move. Bailey was on bis feet in an instant with a threat of filibuster.
 Senators may as well make up their minds" said he. that nothing like that win be permitted. We may be here discussing this measure when the dog QAls come
 The outlook is little inS4e cheerful than that. however, President Taft has determined with the chief policy of his determination now at the mercy of the legislative branch, that he will in- sist up no hard and fast rules with re- gard to the bills that bear his name. He looks fxvorably upon reasonable debate He will not object to amend ments to the bills that are reasonable in their nature and will assist him in the chief end he has in view, of mak- ing more effective the government regulation of railways
 The president Issued this edict al. most in the same hour that Senator Hale was talking of tanning the bill through.

PROTECT THE CHILD
pR. WILEY GIVES ADVICE TO PAR. ENTS IN AN ADDRESS AT
 KANSAS CITY.
DO NOT REAR HIN IN CAPTIVITY
The Chief Of the Government Bureau of Chemistry Believes In Plenty of Fresh Air for the Children and Good Food.

Kansas City. Mar. lT.-Dr. H. W. Wiley. chief of the bureau of chemistry of the United sta.as department of az Ticulfure. and expert on food--pure and otherwise--deli4ere a speech be- fore the Jackson County Medical So ciety al It's reguls~ monthly meeting et the general hospital The general subject under discussion was defect mental and physical Dr. George Zellsr of the Peoria State hos pital for the insane of Peoria, H.. spoke on occupation for the insane as q means of cure; Dr. L. L. Uhls of the Kansas State hospital a. Osawatomie. Kas.. read a paper on hereditary in- sanity and degeneracy.
 Doctor Wiley. though. while clinging 10 the main subject, put more stress on the value of good environment and food for infants
 You can't expect strong. healthy men to develop from children reared, so to speak. In captivity" he said. Children are savages to begin with and they should be allowed to grow up something in the manner ths. nature diciates. If you coop a child up in hot. stuffy room from November until April you needn't be surprised If his lungs become weak and are un- able to do their duty In the task of promoting his mental and physical growth If you feed him on hotnouss foods. which are guaranteed to have been digested in s.432 different ways before they leave the factory. you cant expect his stomach to thrive and be come husky so that il can do it's part in promoting his growth.
 MIX is the best thing in the uLi- verse for infants and children. If you're certain the milk is pure. don't have 1t pasteurized. Unpasteurized milk Is much more nourishing than the other kind A few germs aren't going 10 kin any healthy infant. Only the mass of microbes absorbed by food in unhealthy. fetid atmospheres are deadly to the child.
 @Try it the other way. Feed an in fant on patent. predigested focds-ths kind that are fatally easy to prepare rear him Tn patent. predlgesleu dt- : mosphere; never let him get a good. wide. sweeping breath of air-and you win stunt his mental and physical de veIopment as sure as death.
 Doctor Wiley is towering man and he lends all the force of his body to the force of his speech. He is 90 healthy that he is walking advertise ment of his own methods. There WAS not a puerile sentence in his entire speech. which last 20 minutes. Every thing was vigorous and forceful like the man. You began to understand how he had forced thousands es ssas..l- sa-afing dangerous manufacturers of lawless and poisnn-preserved food to comply with the pure food law.
