ier wealth-bringing product of her
soil. Alfalfa, introduced a score of
years since, was the forerunner of an
incredible agricultural advancement,
and in its growing the state leads all.
Fifty years ago her prairies were
practically untouched by the plow-
share; today no state is her equal in
the combination of wheat, corn and
alfalfa the trinity in which Kansas
agricultural prosperity abides. With
third of her area in cultivation the
farm products of 1910 were worth 3O5
million dollars and the livestock on
hand was valued at approximately
235 million dollars. Not only in her
soil and its production in Kansas rich

ing wealth inestimable, are hers.
Yet, with all these. industrially
Kansas is but in her infancy and her
resources scarcely more than touched
by the finger-tips of development, her
people have been engroSSed in Subdu-

Kansas City Stock Yards, Septem
ber 10, 1911. The cattle market got
another uplift to-day, amounting to
10 cents on most kinds, calves a quar-
ter higher. The run for to-day was
IA, ZOO here, including 1900 calves and
30 cars of quarantine cattle. Buyers
were out early and there were plenty
of snap to the trading. The best fed
steers topped at S7.95, and some fancy
panhandle branded steers, fed in Kan
Sas, 1871 lbs, sold at S7.75, others OF
the same brand at 81. 80. These Texas
cattle were highly bred, ana their
sale was a feature to-day. Some OF
the same cattle sold 10 cents under
these prices yesterday. The belief is
growing that there is no great resi-
due of cattle now ready for market,
and if the good market this week does
not shake out good big run later
this week and the first of next week,
this belief will take rank as certain
ty. In that event it will be easy sail
ing for those who have cattle to mar
ket the balance of the fall. Country
buyers are taking hold better this
week than heretofore, having decided
that the margin between thin cattle
and fat ones is legitimate, a little
more than two dollars. StockerS and
feeders at So. so to $500 appear to be
worth the money, Colorado and the
west is shipping lightly SO far this
season, and quarantine receipts in
the last ten days have been disap-
pointing. The Western run will in
crease, but the quarantine district
has shot its wad for this season.
Grass cattle from native pastures sell
at S5. 90 to S7.30, Colorado and Wyom-
ing steers $3.50 to $500, panhandle
COWS So. 40 to S4.I5, native COWS up to
$500, fancy heifers 500, bulls $500
to S4.25, top veals today IS. 90, quaran-
tine steers S4. 90 to $40, quarantine
cows $3.50 to S4.15.
Hogs were trimmed 10 to Is cents
again today, similar slice having
been taken off yesterday. This brings
top hogs down to s6.87 1-2 today, bulk
of sales S6.65 to $3.50, the whole list
well under the seven dollar mark,
and packers say safe from that figure
for an indefinite period. They say
there will be plenty of hogs later in
the fall, and make extravagant pre-
dictions about what they will do to
the market. Warm weather hereto

Our First Five Decades

What brief spell it is, as the ages
of states and nations go since the her
aids of time proclaimed our country's
authority over the region of which
Kansas is now a part! Most of this
area was bought from France a cen
tury ago at 2-3 cents per acre, or Is
million dollars. There were those at
the time who ridculed the purchase
as waste of public funds. In truth,
for that day, Is million dollars was
large expenditure; but if charged to
them the Kansas hens alone, in 1910,
could easily have paid the bill.
At the time of this international
land deal the region was unexplored
and uncomprehended, and of Kansas
no man had dreamt. In 1908 was
celebrated the centennial anniversary
of the transfer of the unmeaSured
wild of Louisiana province to the
United States. But it is within only
the later half of that hundred years
that large part of the purchase has
been transformed as is by magic into
the most protitably productive agri-
cultural domain in the world, and of
this the grassy quadrangle called Kan
sas is the favored commonwealth.
In her five decades of statehood
Kansas history has been unique and
attention-compellin from the nation
and the whole world. From her lea
CUES of fertile loans the states pres
ent wealth has come, and her future
welfare and prosperity hinge on an
enlightened husbandry. To what pur-
pose her husbandmen already have
labored is strikingly Indicated by
statistics. Fifty years ago their farm
ing had hardly begun; Kansas wheat
crop in the year of her admission to
the union was 1850 bushels, and the
corn 6,246, tit bushels. This year
Reno county raised Is times more
wheat than the whole state had in
her first year, and in one season jew
ell yielded more than 10 million bush
els of corn.g In less than half cen
tury Kansas has become the countryS
most important producer of wheat, of
a quality the world envies. In the 10
years ending with 1909, her wheat
crops averaged annually over Il mil
lion bushels, or nearly million bush
els per year more than those of Mimi
esota her closest competitor. In 1891
when the Kansas wheat harvest
amounted to nearly 100 million bush
els, she attained an altitude in total
yield no other state ever reached.
As corn grower Kansas marches

at least that has been a talking point
with buyers, but cooler weather this
week has removed that argument.
Run is fairly heavy today, 12,e00 head
in the pens here.
Sheep and lambs are barely stick

day, some sales called 10 lower to-day.
Lambs managed to register six dol

but the northern markets are loaded
to-day with runs like they had ten
days ago, and strength is out of the
question with so many in sight for
the packers. Feeding stuff is in
strong demand. Fat lambs bring So

cars with the exhibit, as they are
aware that no other place can be so

shown will consist of working breeds

riers and English settlers will be some
of the breeds featured. The dog sec

Employees Have No Legitimate
Grievances

Leaders among the labor unions in
railroad shop service in advising their
following to force an issue upon the
arrangements of the roads at this
time are committing a huge blunder,
one that will resound to their dis
credit before the end. There can be
but one ending to such a struggle.
Railroads are having trouble in a
number of directions. Politics need
less and useless politics, has had a
deal to do with curtailment of ex-
penditures and release of over eighty
thousand men by the railroads of the
country. Agitation over tariff affect
ed railroad receipts the very first
thing. Threatened political investi-
cations have had a bearing on recent
politics adopted by the principal
roads. The Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Court of Com
merce have been keeping railroads
busy rearranging their rates and traf-
fic forms. Refusal of the Commits
sion TO permit increase in freight
rates should have been sufficient
warning to labor leaders to go slow.
have been uncertain and taken as a
whole behind the average for the last
decade. Crop shortage means heavy
loss in revenues to the Hardman lines
in particular.
Large numbers of men are out of
employment. The country is an at
mosphere of uncertainty. Industrial
conditions at home and abroad are
far from satisfactory. A general rail-
road strike, such as is threatened,
would do universal damage, undoubt-
edly, but the greatest sufferers in the
long run would be the strikers them
selves. Railroad hours and wages
Ihave been improved in recent years,
voluntarily on the part of the lead
ing railroads, and as rule the men
have no real grievances The agita-
tion is forced and unreal it is the
work of the professional labor agita-
tor who lives best when trouble is
abroad in the land.
For railroad heads to give in to the
demands of labor bosses that the lat
ter, not the former, shall conduct the
railroads solely in the interest of-the
unions, would be a supreme act OF
folly. 1t would lead from bad tc
worse.
Federal control of railroads could
not be much more complete than it is
now. With the Interstate Commerce
Commission at one end and the labor
union iunta at the other, the com

Japanese admiral of that name.
Side by side with the DEVELOPMENT
in warship building capacity, mer
chant ship-building in Japan has also
made progress, as is shown by the
paper on this subject contributed by
the director of the mercantile marine
bureau. He begins by saying that In
1853, when an American fleet, under
Commodore Perry, appeared off the
Japanese coast, the shogun's govern
ment was surprised at the enormous
size OF the warships and awakened
from the indolent dreams of the past.
The gross tonnage OF vessels built
under the shipbuilding encouragement

Japan is not, however. perfectly self.
supporting as regards the supply OF
steel for shipbuilding, as although the
government works opened in 1898 can
produce 100000 tons yearly, builders
have still to import foreign material.
But the progress made during the
last decade is sufficiently striking. en-.
