WARMTH ENCOURAGES HEN.
Eggs Are Cheaper Now Than The
Have Been in Four Years.

Eggs are cheaper now than they
have been at this season Of the year
for four years. Thirteen cents, and
|12M cents a dozen; in trade, are
the prices quoted for eggs at the
stores In contrast to this, figures
furnished local poultry houses show
that during the month Of April last
year eggs we're bought by the pro-
duce men for 10 cents q dozen, and
that during May they sold at II cents
a dozen. 1t was only during the
hottest part Of the summer that the
price was much lower than 1t Is now,
The egg output Is said to be unusu-
ally good this year. Whatever harm
the mild, dry winter may have been
to other products which are related
to agriculture, It has been very fa'
yorable to the poultry industry.
The fact that eggs were so high
last year has also tended to force
the price down, 50 produce men
say. The high price lessened the
egg consumption and because of this
the number Of eggs kept in storage
was greater than usual.
There in another peculiarly about
the egg market Of this season. Hens
began laying earlier than usual. Az
result the percentage Of increase
in March was very slight, because q
great many Of the hens that had
commenced laying in February had
quit setting and had become broody.
It is said by the produce men that
as a result a great many eggs were
set early and that this argues for
early broilers this season.

The Legislature which has Just adj
jonrned Il to be praised for the good
" amount Of constructive and pro-
gressiye Legislation It enacted In the
interest Of agriculture and the rural
schools.
Kansas ranks second highest in
llteracy. Every school district In the
state Will hereafter be required to
maintain full seven months term
Of school. To aid sparsely settled
districts upon which this lengh Of
term would be a serious burden, the
state will help the support Of the
school and the legislature made an
appropriation Of 100000 for this
purpose. When one realizes that the
vast majority OF the school children
Of Kansas are attending the rural
school, the Importance Of this for
ward step cannot be overestimated.
Agriculture in the Schools.
The new teachers certificate law
requires all teachers Of the graded
and rural schools OF the state to
pass an examination in the elements
Of agriculture and thus be prepared
to teach this subject in their schools.
This ID the first step toward the In
PRODUCTION of industrial and voca-
tional subjects into the curriculum
Of every public school In Kansas.
Denmark, agriculturally and COM
mercially one of the most successful
countries In the world, considering
her natural facilities, requires book
keeping, business methods, dairying,
stock feeding and crop production in
all her public schools, in addition
to the ordinary subjects. Moreover,
this country, only one-fifth the size
OF Kansas, maintains 20 agricultural
colleges, with a total attendance Of
5000 students. As result of'this
universal education in agriculture
nearly 65 per cent Of her people live
on the farm, while the United States,
30 recently settled, and yet so unde-
veloped, has not more than 35 per
cent Of her people on the farm In
Denmark, approximately ~. per cent
OF the farmers own the farm they
till, while in this country, with Uncle
Sam still giving away farm lands,
four out Of every 10 farms are oc-
cupied by tenants.
We're Kansas as densely populated
as Is Denmark, we should now have
over . million people, instead Of less
than TX million. Denmark sup
ports this vast population and ex-
ports 50 worth Of foodstuff for every
acre of land under cultivation. With
a better soil and a more favorable
climate, does Kansas, with It's Inn
tied population, export this much
foodstuff?
Agriculture in High Schools.
An appropriation was made to
support the teaching Of agriculture
ana domestic science in the normal
training high schools. That Is to
say, the high schools Of the state
seeking to prepare teachers will now
be helped by an appropriation Of
$4,000 to train these teachers 80
they may give instruction in agricul-
and domestic science. This Is an
other move toward the Introduction
q the industries into the grades and
rural Schools
A vast majority Of the farmers OF
the country enter upon their occupa-
tion between their 18th and 10th
years. To reach them with instruc-
ton that will make Of them better
citizens and more successful hus-
bandmen and business men, means

Other Important school Laws.
Another important and far-reach'
ing step in the improvement OF the
public schools was the law providing
for the consolidation Of rural schools
when majority Of those living in
district express a desire through theiI
votes to have such consolidation, and
making the transportation Of pupils
mandatory in such districts when
they live beyond 2 miles from the
school.
Another law was enacted giving
district boards, as at present organ
lied, authority to transport pupils
living IN miles or more from school.
This applies to all classes Of districts.
A law was enacted providing for
free tuition in high schools to all
pupils in counties having popula-
tion Of less than 10000, and in which
such provision does not already exist.
Other important legislation was
enacted in the interest Of the city
schools; making one date for the an
nual school meeting throughout the
state; permitting two or more coun-
ties to Join together for the conduct
Of q normal institute; making per-
sons eligible for county superintend-
ents who do not live In the county;
authorizing the annexation Of terri
tory for school purposes to all OF
the larger cities, and authorizing the
establishment Of township high
schools in rural communities.
A thoroughly first-class road law
was enacted. The benefits to be de-
rived from the use Of the drag were
recognized, and failure to drag the
roads Is punishable by fine. The
road tax is made payable in cash.
Unfortunately, the house failed to
enact into a law the bill which the
senate bad passed almost unanimous
ly, giving more authority to the
highway engineer in designing the
bridges, etc
OF much Importance In portions
Of the state ls a carefully adjusted
system of drainage laws adapted to
Kansas conditions.
Laws in relation to the control Of
contagious and infectious diseases Of
live stock were completely revised
and modified and put into more
workable form than ever before.
