Selenium is rare and little
known element, described by the
United States Geological Survey
as having its greatest use in the
manufacture of certain glasses
to which it gives a red color and
in coloring enameled ware red.
It is used to overcome the natur-
al green color of ordinary glass
and also in making glass of a d.
stinct red color such as that used
on railroads for signal lights.
Selenium has the peculiar prep
erty of being very poor con-
ductor of electricity in the dark
and fairly good conductor in
the light, and a number of cleo
trical inventions depend on this
popularity. 1t has been used in
experiments in telephoning along
a ray of light, and for transmit
ting sounds and photographs
from one piece to another by
means of a telephone or tele-
graph wire.

The question of electric lights
has been brought to the minds
of the people of Beaver. A num-
Der of the most influential bust
ness men of that place are in
terested in the project, and if af-
ter careful investigation it is
deemed advisable, Beaver will
have electric lights. If there is
anything in the saying. "All
things come to those who wait"
Beaver is certainly entitled to all
the good things there are to be
had. Just at this time it looks
very much as though they were
to have railroad and with good
electric light plant, they would
be up in the front ranks as a
first class City.

1911, showed marked improve
ment over those in the surround
ing territory. A. E. Barry, a
farmer in the burned district,
says that destroying the chinch'
bug infested grass made him
nearly $1,000. In the 171a square
miles saving of about 81, 600 on
the wheat alone must be attribut-
ed to this burning. That is more
than it cost the state to carry on
all its bug Investigations, other
wise known as chronological re-
search. The burning was done
under the direction of DR.. Il. ].
Headlee, head of the departing
of entomology in the Kansas
Agricultural College.
DR.. Headlee and his assistants
have learned that the bugs es-
tablish winter quartersin clumps
of bunch grass and patches OF
big blue stem. Bunch grass is
seen as feature in every part of
the state infested with chinch
bugs. 1t was learned, also, that
while some bugs sought winter
shelter in weeds and piles OF
rubbish and crevices of some
sort, practically every one thus
protected persisted before spring
So the bunch grass was burned.
Although the burning in Sumner
county was not so close as it
should have been, leaving stub
BILE one and one-half inches high
where it should not have been
more than one inch, this treat
ment, with the rigors of winter,
destroyed about SO per cent of
the chinch bugs:
Throughout the last summer
the bugs on the unburned area
have ranged from six to twenty
times as numerous as those on
the burned section. Wheat on
the burned area averaved 81 blu,
worth So more an acre, and the
oats, which were only slightly
infested with bugs, yielded a
little less than one bushel an acre
more on the burned than on the
unburned ground. Corn fields
ad iacent to fields of small grain
in the burned districts had nc
corn sucked dry and killed at
harvest time; while corn fields in
the unburned territory showed
from one to forty rows ruined,
the farmers of that district and
DR.. Headlee declare the burning
did not lower the yield of native
grass in meadows or pastures.
Here are the names of farmers
in Sumner and Ellis counties
who helped in the burning, last
fall: L. F. Alloway, A. E. Barry
John Beal, Charles Boylan, Link

Burn the bunch grass and the
big blue stem. Do it now if you
expect to kill the chinch bugs

The value of this treatment
has been proved. A rectangular

VALUE OF FARMERS
ORGANIZATION.

In practically all Agricultural COM
munities the Farmers have organized
themselves into an Association for
the welfare and promotion of their
interests.
Farming is the real foundation of
all business activity and is therefore
the leading business Of all commerce
ial pursuits.
Iforganized capital and labor under
legitimate methods is source of
strength to such concerns so brought
together. it seems highly proper that
the greatest Of all industries should
unite in purpose to further their
cause.
In several of the new tracts recent
| ly opened conditions have arisen
where organization has proved the
only recourse out of difficulties that
the individual could not surmount and
has therefore been very helpful.
At present there is movement in
one section where the farmers are
organized, to secure large numbers
of cattle to feed for winter and spring
market thus affording a market for
hay and grain. The party supplying
the cattle sells them to the farmers
and takes mortgage on them and
on an additional 2 tons of hay for
each animal. Good shelter and a
place to feed must be supplied. In
the spring or when the animal is fat
the purchaser, (same man who supp
lied them ships them to market
The mortgage is first paid and Their
the profits are equally divided.
In another place Dairy Cows are
being shipped in by Mr.. Kuhn, who i.
expanding Millions in the West, anc
the farmers are given time in which
to pay for the animal thus starting
an excellent industry.
Still again companies are formed
by the farmers themselves and head
ers and threshing outfits are Dough
and as little expense attached to tn
harvesting of their crop as possible
and a grain market is also looked u
if local prices do not satisfy.
The Time is fully ripe for the farm
ers in this valley to organize and har
die their products systematically an
. for less expense and more money.
A market may not be had at a
times and other means of marketin
may be supplied by feeding livestoe
: and other kindred methods.
Buyers of farm products will MOI
readily purchase your goods if he CO
get them in large quantities and Vi
der more systematized conditions.
A start is all that's necessary
some will only lead out; A leader
necessary. Do not procrastinat
You will loose money if you do.
