The Stallion And Jack Laws

Until recently Kansas has had no
law governing the horse breeding in
dustry The law which was recently
PASSED by the State Legislature for
the control of the stallion and jack
business has been found to be made
quate to the needs of the state and
this question will be brought up for
action before the next Legislature.
Kansas has suffered immensely in the
past by reason of the fact that there
was no control over the stallion and
jack business and defective and dis
eased animals could be placed in stud
with no recourse on the part of the
farmer. The present law and the
needs of the state in regard to it will
be discussed by a member of the
Sallion Registry Board at the twenty
second annual meeting of the Kansas
Improved Stock Breeders Association
which will be held in Topeka on
January Gil, 1911. The meetings are
free to all and the very interesting
program which has been provided
will insure large attendance. The
membership of this Association num-
bers nearly 1000 and is representative
of the the live stock industry of the
state in every phase. Both members
and others who are interested
are invited to send suggested
topics for discussion to the Secre-
tary, and the members are requested
to send in the names of other breed
ers and stockmen whom they can
recommend for membership The
meeting will close with free banquet
to the members on the evening OF
Wednesday January IL. Address 1.

increase in rural population than does
the rest of the state. Nor should it
be forgotten in this connection that
for a number of decades before even
this school was established western
Kansas cheerfully paid taxes to sup
port older state educational institut-
ions, the nearest of which, at Man
haitian is III miles east of Fort Hays
End, the school here, in the center
of what in the nature of things must
forever be a great agricultural empire,
has peculiarly for it's work the prob
lem of the pedagogy of rural schools.
President Roosevelt was never more a
constructive statesman than when he
originated the Country Life Commits
sion nor never more a seer than when
he declared the mo growth of cities,
no growth of wealth. can make up
for any loss in either the number or
character of the farming population"
and when he further declared that
1.-THE farmer must insist upon a
practical curriculum in the school in
which his children are taught The
solution of the rural school problem
as means to check the ever increas-
ing rush to the cities is the pressing
need in educational fields today.
Eastern Kansas, the home of all the
other educational institutions can
and does afford many high schools
costing more than the plant at Hays.
Can it be that the western school,
ministering to more pressing needs
than can any general or teachnical
institution in overcrowded centers of
population is to be checked in it's
progress by an inadequate support?

Farmers Institute

Now is the annual season for the
Farmers Institutes of Kansas and
meetings are being held in the
various counties, several circuits be-
ing underway, two speakers from the
Agricultural College being on each
circuit. Farmers institute work in
Kansas has reached higher develop
ment than in most states in the way
of organization as there are now near
ly three hundred regularly organized
institutes with membeShib of near
ly twelve thousand farmers. No other
state has over half as many organiZa-
tions nor half as many members.
Farmers Institutes in Kansas are
really a sort of business conferences
of the best farmers of the commun-
ity to find out the best ways of doing
things. The Agricultural College
simply helps by dating the meetings
and sending two speakers to assist
with the program.
There will be Farmers institute
meeting at Wa-Keeney on December
II and 13. A good program has been
prepared and and profitable meet
ing is expected. The speakers for the
Agricultural College will be Professor
FitZ who will give a drill in judging
wheat and Professor TenEyck who
will give drill in judging corn
These are very important subjects
for this part of the state. Local
speakers have various other subjects
on the program and the meeting will
begin promptly at 10 O'Clock. Every
farmer is urged to bring some
samples of corn, apples and potatoes
| for the exhibit.

Official County Paper.
To the People of Kansas

And now comes State Auditor,
Nation recommending that the ap-
propriations reported for the Man
ual Training Normal at Pittsburg be
cut from 1926, 500 to S244 900 and
S277 900 for Western State Normal
School at Fort Hays be cut to S14, 600
What follows is not protest
against reasonably larger appropri-
ations for the former place but is
comparison of the latter with the
only state educational Institution in
its class
The proposed cut for Pittsburg is
about Is per cent; that for Fort Hays
over 73 per cent. The reason given
for the disproportionate slashing is
that the western school is growing
less rapidly than the eastern instit-
4 ution. On the same page of the
daily paper in which Mr.. Nations
interview appears is a showing, pre-
sumably from his office, giving total
amounts spent for building at Pitts
burg as s15O,OOO over against a total
of $4,000 at Fort Hays, the two
schools being a little more than a
year apart in age.
As to figures the interview states
that the first year of the occupancy
of Pittsburg's magnificent modern
building, the year 1907 and 1908, wit
messed an enrolment there of but
325 while last year an aggregate of
723 students were enrolled. The
year 1907 and 1908 saw 357 students at
Fort Hays, a number Increased to
449 last year, housed in building cost
ing but half the outlay for the Pitts
burg plant. An Overcrowded condi-
tion this year at Pittsburg, making
reasonable a demand there for more,
in anticipating a total attendance of
1000 for the year can hardly be a
greater proportionate crowding than
maintains at Hays where buildings
costing but half the money and pre-
Sumably sufficient to house half the
students must suffice for a total en-
rollment of 500 reasonably anticipated
for the year-deSpite Mr.. Nations
information that there has been a
falling off in attendance here. But
instead of a falling off the current
term opening November IA, showed
an increase of over u per cent as
compared with the corresponding
Z date year ago. A large bunch of
magnificent young men heretofore
detained at home to put in the largest
acreage of wheat ever planted in
western Kansas came in on that date
and modified conditions decidedly.
The matter was of but little import
ance, however, even were Mr.. Nation
right as to present attendance.
Pittsburg experienced a slump of
from 351 in 1906-7 to 325 in 1907-s
without preventing the fine growth
which followed an adequate housing
of the school in the opening of the
S150,0O0 building at the beginning
of the latter year as stated in Mr..
Nations interview.
The really important facts, not to
be forgotten, are:
First, the school at Fort Hays is
the only State educational institution
in the western two thirds of this
great commonwealth, a region which
in the past decad e shows far larger
