cribs full, the root cellar plentifuy supplied, with
money in the bank and his apples ready tor mar
ket, the farmer has little inclination to bemoan
bare ruined choirs deserted of their feathered
songsters, nor yet to muse in pensive mood over
the mystery of the changing seasons. Good plow-
ing weather is what he calls it.
Nor is the city dweller influenced to melancholy
by the onset of winter in the sense of the poet.
True, sort of melancholy steals into his darker
hours as he prows about the cellar trying to make
the furnace burn in contemp lation of his tax
notice-oh, what an intoerable nuisance is that
tax notice before it is stamped paid land his
coal bins not yet filled. The feathered songsters
that have been his companions throughout the
summer, that persisted in building their nests in
the corner of his front porch roof, stay with him
all the year, and the sere and yellow leaf-good-
ness, what stencil they make when the small boys
in the neighborhood gather them up to make
bonfire in the backyard
Burning dead leaves is the one thing which men
and women forget was enjoyable feature
of the autumnal season. But in those days the
leaves would occasionally give forth bright fame
which lighted up the eager faces of the boys and
girls in the twilight. And now it seems impossl-
BILE to get anything out of pile of leaves except
a smudge the thickness of which should encourage
the preservation of the leaves until spring, when
they could be used in place of smudgepots to pre-
serve the fruit crop when endangered by early
frosts

OUR CROPS.

Last spring is not so long ago but that we can
all remember the pessmistic predictions of certain
crop experts that corn was in a bad way, that
wheat didn't look very encouraging, that cotton
was sadly afflicted with boil weevi, oats and barley
lacked promise. Considering these pessimistic pre-
dictions with the crops as they turned out rather
puts the pessimists of last spring into class of
very poor prophets. The harvests have turned out
richer than ever before. Cotton is better than
average crop. Wheat is much more plentiful In
yield than was expected And corn and oats break
all previous records. Thus the prosperity which
the nation has enjoyed for several years. and which
has come to be looked upon as the prime factor in
our lives is assured for another season.
Of all the products of the soil which make for
national and individual prosperity, corn is uni
versally recognized as king. Corn is essentially
American product. 1t not known until the
early settlers were introduced to the cereal by the
Indians Among the first records we have of the
value of corn is In connection with Captain John
Smith in Virginia, when the Indians pointed out
to him the value of the cereal as a food. Some of
the colonsts carried back to their native lands
but it never thrived there it has in America.
As civilization pushed its way across the Appala-
chan mountains into the great central valleys, corn
was the mainstay of the people Corn is intimately
associated with the development of the western
world. The Narragansett Indians raised corn in
Massachusetts,, and the crop has grown from that
early period in proportion to the needs of the peo-
pie. Not so many years ago it furnished not only
food but fuel to the people of Nebraska and Kan
sas, but the development of the railroads made it
possible to ship the and get desirable
fuel But it is likely the railroad development de-
pended more upon the corn than the need of the
farmers for other fuel.
The reports of the alar1nists in the springtime,
when they nothing encouraging in the crop out
fall have tendency to give us all more cheerful
view of life. There seems to be in nature a very
finely fixed system of checks and balances, and the
needs of the people are always supplied. Some
times, of course, there is a scarcity of certain
things but the prodigaty of the soil in the United
States has ever been sufficient to sustain the grow
ing population. And when we are compelled to
forego the pleasures which attend bounteous crops
there is lesson to be learned for the season of
scarcity is a season for sefdenial, season of alb
negation, and no lesson seems to be more needed
than that Self indulgence seems to be the greatest
evil of our present civilization. We like to mort
gage the future to indulge present appetites
And we defend that proclivity by saying it is hui
man nature. 1t may be human nature, but it is
not good sense

AUTUMN LEAVE S.

The great poet who wrote about the melancholy
days of autumn got bum steer in that particular
poem, for in reality, there is nothing melancholy
about the festal days of fall, unless, perchance,
the sweet potato vines get nipped by early frost
of the pumpkin supply in the shocks is short,
in which events there is cause for sadness and mel
ancholy. But fall is the season of fruition, and

Ono Chicken Out q -Four 70 Pay for
Free Eggs.

Manhattan. Jan. 16.--SInce wal
printed the announcement made BY
the Poultry department Of the col
Iege that It would givesa away eggl
from its thoroughbred poultry the
press Of the state has been making
facetious comments and incredulous
inquiries have been pouring In from
readers. But Mr.. Phillips Of the
poultry department says that he
meant what he said in the announce
ment. The string tied to the offer
is that anyone accepting these eggs
shall agree to give to the department
one out Of every four chickens
Matched from the eggs. II no chick
ems are Matched none will have to be
returned to the department. The
object Of the department in making
the offer is two-fold. First, it de-
sires to give poultry raisers who have
been breeding scrub stock chance
to get hold Of some pure bred birds
and, second. It hopes to get lot of
young chicks in this way that it
wouldn't have otherwise an oppor-
tunity to hatch.
Since the announcement was made
the poultry department has received
over five hundred requests for the
eggs.

IsAgEBALL DADS WILL
MEET 10 FIX LEAGUE


Enterprise, Jan. 17.--Ralph Hoff'
preslden, OF the Central Kansas
league, has issued \ call for . meet
| ing Of the club owners to be held al
Enterprise next Tuesday. This will
be the first time the fathers OF tho
league have assembled since the sea
son closed last September.
It 10 impossible to tell what will
be done at this meeting but no doubt
the fathers will find plenty to do
when they get together. The affairs
Of the league have been in a know
nothing state ever since the season
closed last year. Two or three towns
at that time, were threatening never
to be in the league another year and
they have not yet announced that
they would be. Salina seems to te
the town that is most undecided,
while Ellsworth has not been heard
from. Beloit does not seem certain
about the matter.
But the other towns, Clay Center,
Junction City, Manhattan, Minneapo-
lis and Abilene have declared some
time past that they were going to
stay In the league another year and
nearly everyone of them has been
making preparations for next season.
In all probability the schedule OF
games will be heightened. Last year
the schedule called for only "A games.
Many Of the towns were dissatisfied
with SO short a schedule in spite Of
the trouble they were having when
the season did close. The talk now
is for a schedule Of 100 games, which
is about the same as that Of the State
league, Joe West, owner Of the
Manhattan team, has said that he will
ask for d schedule Of about 90 games.
He would also, and there are other
club owners who thing the same,
like TO- see the salary limit raised
from $500 a month to at least $1,000
q month. Last year nearly every
town jumped the limit.
