DEMONSTRATION
APPROPRIATION
PETITION QUORUM COURT
UNION EXPECTED
TO PASS RESOLUTIONS FAV-
ORING DEMONSTRATION.

That the farmers of Faulkner
county will make strong effort to
have the county levying or quorum
court to make an appropriation to
carry on the farm demonstration
work in this county next year is the
opinion of John L. Phillips of Con-
way, former president of the county
Farmers Union. Mr.. Phillips said
this morning that the matter would
be presented to the county union
meeting to be held in September at
Oak Bowery, and he thinks there is
no doubt that a petition memorable
ing the court to make the appropria-
ton will be adopted by a unanimous
vote.
"The action of the county union in
failing to recommend such an appro-
priation in meeting at Guy about
year ago." said Mr.. Phillips, "was
due to a misunderstanding of the
matter, and now that the legislature
has passed law making appropria-
tions for this purpose legal believe
there will be no difficulty in securing
it.
'If anyone has any doubt as to the
benefits of farming according to the
government plan" he continued, "a
look at few fields in the vicinity of
my home would be sufficient to con-
vince the most skeptical. The excess
sive rains have not hurt cotton where
it was planted and cultivated accord
ing to the demonstration principles.
The government experts insist upon
the rows being widely spaced and
thinned in the drills to a much great
er extent. Two of my neighbors have
fields lying side by side, one cultivated
under the old system and the other
according to the government plan. In
the first the plant has grown so rank
that the sunshine cannot penetrate
between the rows and the cotton has
already shed almost all it has put on.
In the other case, the cotton is well
formed and fruited and, believe, is
the best patch l ever saw"
Capt. w. w. Martin, who is the au-
thor of the act permitting quorum
courts to make appropriations for
farm demonstration purposes, is also
much interested in having the work
continued under the auspices Of the
county another year. He has been
writing some of the justices Of the
peace, urging them to support the
appropriation when they meet in Oc-
tober.
81 find some have a wrong concep-
ton of the new law" said Capt. Mar
tin. "Some seem to have the impress
sion that an additional tax must be
levied for this purpose. This is en-
tirely wrong, as the five-mill county
ttax, which has been levied for many
years, is the maximum amount, and
the taxes cannot be increased by a
reason of small additional appro-
priation. The government allows
$500 a year to apply on the demon
strator's salary and also furnishes
all literature necessary to keep the
farmers posted on their work.
II think next year we ought to have
a demonstration who is familiar with
the best methods of raising live stock
as we'll as corn and cotton" Capt.
Martin said. "We ought to diversity
our crops and pay more attention to
raising good livestock of all kinds. y

ARMY WORM IS
CAUSING DAMAGE

Col. J. E. Little said today that the
army worm is already beginning to
cause considerable damage in the cot
ton fields on the river and he is afraid
the pest will occasion much loss be-
fore the cotton natures 81 never
knew the army worm to appear here
before August 25 in previous years" "
said Mr.. Little, "but this year they
made. their appearance several weeks
ago" He thinks the excessive rains
are responsible for the early appear
ance of the worms.

TO STOP BEE DISEASES.
Inspection and Treatment to Result
From Meeting.

Manhattan. Kan, Nov. 2s.-Kansas
beekeepers are going to remedy bee
troubles in this state. The Kansas
Agricultural college and the Univer-
sity of Kansas, with the aid of inspect
ors appointed in every county of the
state where bees are kept, are to be
the leaders in this fight against bee
diseases. This was decided at the nizth
annual meeting of the Kansas Bee
keepers association at the Kansas Ag-
ricultural college. November q and
IS.
How to control the common dis
eases of bees was the principal sub
ject under discussion at this meeting.
Dr. T J. Headlee, state entomolo-
gist with the Agricultural college, told
the association that bee diseases could
be controlled in a satisfactory man
ner only by the careful inspection of
all stands. AS a result the plan of
having an inspector in every county
was decided upon. DR.. Headlee will
have charge of the inspection work
in the north half of the state and S.
J. Hunter, professor of entomology
at the University of Kansas, will be
in charge of the work in the south
half.

The farmers in Kansas who sit be-

Their encouragement if the predictions
of Joe Longshore, state oil inspector,
come true. Inspector Longshore says
that coal oil in Kansas never was so
cheap as it is right now. And that
isn't all-he says that it is going to be
cheaper.
Prospects for cheap kerosene this
winter will brighten up the country
and small town homes. Furthermore
1t viii bring a joyous feeling to the
housewife who burns coal oil in the
kitchen cooking stove.
Representatives of the Standard Oil
company in Topeka admit that coal
oil is going to be cheaper. They are
wondering what will become of the
profits at the present price with only
a shudder when they figure out the
revenue of the future.
The reason for this reduction in
price IS the big supply of kerosene
now kept on hand by the distribut-
ing companies. When the motor car
the coal oil tanks are filled and all
over Kansas the storage reservoirs
are tapping the edge of the overflow.
In the smaller towns and through
out the rural districts coal oil is used
to a great extent for lighting. With
the present bad weather. long dark
evenings and the news of the tar par
ty, the extra session and the daily
comics running in the Kansas favor
lite newspaper, the farmer sets back
the clock on the old kitchen shelf
and postpones his kick at the NAL
tese cat.
At this time the distributing COM
panies are selling coal oil to the deal
ers at 5 II cents in the cities and 6
cents in the country. The dealers in
the cities are selling kerosene for 10
cents a gallon. The price will come
down when the reduction is made
from the tank wagons.
With the low gas pressure, the out
look for a shortage in the gas supply
and the increasing popularity Of oil
as fuel, Kansas is due to consume
many additional thousand barrels of
oil this winter. AS the oil supply in
creases the gasoline distribution de-
motor cars have been
used for business only.
