SECRETARY sMlLEYs REPORT.
Market Correspondent

Secretary E. J. Smiley Of the Kan
sas Grain Dealers Association, be-
ieVes that Kansas should have the
largest wheat crop In its history this
year. From reports received by him
ne has compiled figures which would
Indicate 1t, but we are led to believe
that his figures ON Barton county ane
considerably far off. He lists this
county with an acreage Of 26S, 49S, Of
which 1883 has been plowed up, the
condition Of the remainder being 80
per cent. We bledeve that he Is at
least 20 per cent too high, judging
from what our farmers say. We hops
not. The Rush county figures are,
sowu, 1SS, 1853, plowed up, 2S,244, con-
dtion SS per cent. Pawnee, sown,
259,721, plowed up, 51,944, per cent,
70; Stafford, sowu, 2S9, 4O7, plowed up
1881. per cent 80; Rice, sown, 12S,.
525, plowed up, 1858, per cent So.
According TO his report Barton coun-
ty had the largest acreage sown,
Thomas. with an acreage of 1SS,O4S
sown has the largest acreage plowed
up, 122,2S1, although Marshall, with
an acreage of 1852 sown, has plow-
ed up $3.50. Cove county shows the
lowest percentage, 20 per cent, and
Osborne county the highest, III per
cent. The percentage is based ON a
yield Of 10 bushels per acre. His
report shows the total acreage sown
to have been 1901, 41O, plowed up, l.
445,144.

GOT A FARM? STAY THERE.

Farmers should mind there own
business, remarks the Industrialist,
the official paper of the agricultural
college. The place to do this, it says
is on the farm. That farmers should
move to town as soon as they can af-
ford it, and when they are ready to
live, is a mistake. All that they have
they owe to the farm and country.
They should stay there and make the
country a better place in which to
live. When the farmer retires it is
the first time in his life that he is
in a position to give much time and
thought to rural life problems. Why,
then, should he take his superior
knowledge and most valuable exper-
fence to the town CT city? Why
move to town to build the good house,
to have the well kept lawn, the flow
ers, household conveniences or bath
tub?

HOW TO PLANT STRAWBERRIES.

One of the best methods of plant
ing strawberries is to thrust spade
straight into the ground at the proper
place to a depth Of five or six inches
and then lean it over to one side,
forcing the soil out of the way and
leaving a wedge shaped hole, one wal
Of which is straight up and down.
The roots of the plant should be
spread out in a fan shape against this
wall and the spade then set in the
ground about six inches farther for
ward and by a backward movement
Of the handle firmly press the dirt
against the roots of the plant. To
lend additional firwneSS to the soil,
step with one foot ON either side of
the plant.
The last hole made by the spade
should have some soil raked into It
before leaving. When setting the
plants 1t IS best to have them in
bucket containing a little water in
order that the roots may be kept
moist until they are planted; but it
Is not necessary or advisable to wa
ter the plants immediately after set
ting them.-R. S. Sando in Outing.

s. A. Sabine Says Many Big Ones Ar
Going Up-one Of 800 Tons In
coneho County.

"All these interviews in the Daily
Drovers Telegram about the building
Of siloS up here in this country are
interesting, but when it comes TO
sibos on a big scale, you have got to
leave Kansas and all other parts Of
the corn belt and go away down into
the Concho country of Texas"
This statement was made by s. A.
Sabine, a wool dealer of San Antonio,
Tex.
When this silo fever broke out a
few years ago, we did not suppose 1t
would ever spread to Texas. But 1t
has, and It has broken out In its very
worst form in the very part OF the
state where no one expected to find
1t. Southwest Texas is now witness
ing the erection OF many of these
great feed preserving structures. On
the ranches they are going up. Fay
cite TankerSley, who has been ship
ping sheep to Kansas City this spring
and who is widely known as a ranch
man, is building the largest silo in
that country. The contract l believe
calls for a capacity of 800 tons, which
is a big one. 1t is being built at Tank
erSley in the Concho country, not far
from San Angelo. This big silo will
be built of cement, and will be filled
with alfalfa, sorghum and kafir com
raised on the TankerSley ranch this
season"

GROWING SUGAR BEETs.

There are about 300 acres Of sugar
beets growing in Sylvia township,
Reno county, at present, and as a
rule they are doing well, says the
Hutchinson News.
Henry S. Thompson has ten acres
of the beets and he reports that they
are coming up in fine shape, and pro
misses to do well.
"Of the 300 acres of beets planted
around Sylvia, most are in small
tracts" explained Mr.. Thompson.
"SOme of the farmers have only five
acres, and none have over ten acres.
They are planted as an experiment,
but it is going to prove successful,
believe"
A few had to replant because of a
crust forming over the first planting,
but as. a rule the crop got a very good
start. said Mr.. Thompson.

titled to a $1,000 share in this fund.-"
said Bert Ball, secretary Of the crop
improvement committee Of the Coun-
Gil of Grain Exchanges.
ITO obtain its share, each county
must have a certain fund subscribed.
This fund is to be collected by the
strongest organization In each county
and must equal annually l per cent
per acre Of all tillable soil In the
county, or a minimum OF 800 from
each township, to be subscribed by
the farmers. An equal amount must
be contributed by the commercial
club, merchants, manufacturers, bank
ers, and business interests Of the
county, which shall not be less than
a minimum of 800 from each town
ship. This divides the financial ne
sponaDfaty equltaDy.
"A trained agriculturist OF business
tact and judgment shall be employed
by the several committees, who shall
be recommended by or satisfactory to
the dean Of the state college Of ag-
riculture. This man shall be pespon+
sible only 10 the local committee and
the committee will have power to
control his actions or discharge him,
according to the terms OF his con-
tract.
This man shall be employed for
not less than two years, and prefer
ably for three years.
1T shall be his duty to aid the
farmers in every way and to establish
seed plots, both ON the county farm
and in various parts Of the county
ON private farms to breed up to the
highest efficiency the variety of grain
which may be best adapted to the
soil and climate Of the county, so
that eventually single uniform var
iety which may be free from mixture
Of other grains and seeds Of nOxious
weeds"
A committee on crop improvement
will be required in each county and
members Of this committee will act
ex-Officio as chairmen Of sub-cOmmit-
tees on ways and means, membership
grain, marketing, good roads, agricul-
ture in schools, dairy inspection and
landlord and tenant.
An effort will be made to have com
mercial clubs provide for an agricUl-
twal membership at a nominal fee
per year, in order to obtain a wide
spread special membership, placing
the farmer upon a business basis, es-
tabliShing him as a business man
among business men.

PUzzLERs.

Where can man buy cap for his
knee?
Or key for lock Of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy,
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown Of his head what gems
are set?
Who travels the bridge Of his nOsei
Can he use, when shingling the roof
Of his mouth,
The nails ON the ends Of his toes!
What does he raise from a slip OF his
tongue?
Who plays on the drums Of his
ears?
And who can tell the cut and style,
OF the coats his stomach wears?
Can the crook Of his elbow be sent
to jail,
And II so, what did It DO!
How does he sharpen his shoulder
blades!
III be hanged II l know-do you!

WHEAT FREE FROM PESTS.

Insects are doing practically no
damage to wheat this spring, accord
ing to DR.. T. ]. Headlee, state ento-
mologiSt at the Kansas Agricultural
College. There are a few chinch bugs,
generally distributed, but practically
no greenbugs. Hessian flies are Hike
ly to do some damage in southeastern
Kansas, but not elsewhere.
If this season is dry, there is dan
ger Of considerable damage, but If
the season proves to be a wet one,
no particular harm will be done. The
past winter was so severe, and this
spring Is so wet and cool, that most
Of the over weathering forms Of in
sects were killed.

GOOD ROAD WORK.

X. c. Luton, Of Cimarron, after sn
automobile trip through Rice county,
wrote as follows to the editor of the
Cimarron Republican:
On the road from Nickeson to
Whery. Kansas, six miles, l noticed
a stretch OIL would say-abuut 2
miles Of fine roadway, while the rest
was as muddy and rough as it Is
out here. l remarked to my daughter
Mrs. Hanschild, aud her reply was,
Father Hauschild always has the
boys drag the roads after a snow
Storm The boys take an Ashaped
drag, or We might say a snOwplow,
and clear of the road from snow ana

melts the snow, sottendng the clos
they take drag and follow the snow
plow, and 10, and behold, a long
stretch Of good dry roads, with but
a few houps' work; and Oh, what a
comfort to all travellers.
Then as we approached their home
there was another stretch Of good
road and Mrs. Hauschild said, Uncle
Jake keeps up this end Of the road,
80 for years thee two sensible
brothers, Mr.. Joseph and Mr.. Jacob
Hauschild, have been setting a goo:

THE BLINDED MILLIONS"

1t Is not a particularly edifying
spectacle, at this stage Of the worlds
progress in the direction OF religious
federation, to see the assembled rep
resentatives Of one religious denomi.
nation denomcing the blinded mil
lions" who compose another religious
denomination, charging them with
patriotic offenses and offering them
"the true gospel Of Chrsit." Hall .
century ago, it was easy to raise a
cheer" in a Protestant gathering OF
national scope by belaboring the
papacy," charging 1t with having un-
holy designs upon the nation and
with being the secret foe of American
institutions. But Of late years kind
lter counsels have prevailed, there
has been a splendid spread Of rel.
gious liberation and Protestant and
Catholic, Jew and Gentle, believer
and non-believer have lived and Ia
bored as they should, side by side in
peace, each worshiping God accord
ing to the dictates Of his own con.
science, or refusing so to worship
Him if he saw fit.
The revival of the spirit of reli-
gious bigotry is therefore sincerely
to be deprecated, as out of tune with
the spirit of the times. The true
gospel of Christi does not consist
in berating ones religious neighbors
and impugning their motives. Such
obsolete intolerance is in itself Who'll.
ly at variance with the true gospel
of Christ" which breathes charity
and brotherly love rather than the
bearing of false witness and the STIR
ring up Of needless antagonisms.
The real and most dangerous ene-
mics of any denomination are not
those who belong to some other, and
the most dangerous enemies of the
country at large are not the men,
bens of this or that denomination, but
all who harbOr vindictive luminosity
toward others. As the citizens Of
one great country, Catholics cannot
be distinguished from Proestants as
they mingle with each other in the
relations of citizenship. The men,
bers Of one denomination cannot be
told from those of another, and moth.
ing could be more untoward or IN
wise or uncharitable than the dis
play of religious hostility. Those
who indulge in such practices them
selves stand In need Of the true
gospel Of Christ" and would do we'll
not to part with it too hvishy. For
charity really begins at home and no
one is expected to beggar himself
for the benefit Of others, particularly
when the Others do not need 1t amy
more than the wouh-be donors.-K.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, May q.
The general stock market advanced
10 to Is cents last week, but light
steers showing grass were an excep-
ton, that kind being revised down
wand 10 to rs cents. Buyers threaten
further adjustment Of values this
week on that kind. The packers are
getting a fair number Of grass steers
from South Texas at $40 to $7.25,
which they claim are killing out well.
This condition is affecting steers that
sch from $3.50 downward. The sup
ply Is only 5000 head here today.
market steady to a shade higher,
with a fun load of prime steers at
1925. A few odd head brought that
price last week, otherwise 1t is the
highest price of the year, and for all
time with the exception of droVes Of
pampered Christmas cattle in the last
few years. Iowa and Nebraska still
have some cattle and hogs, but most
other territory has little to send to
market now. Chicago had a good run
today, with buyers there in a rebel
lious mood. Dealers expect a break
in middle class cattle before many
weeks. Reports say that Kansas, Ok
lahoma and Nebraska will furnish
more grass cattle this year than in
any recent year, but they will not
start for a month OF more. Forty
loads of guarantees came in
today, Texas steers selling at $3.50
to $500, and Oklahoma corn and mea.
fed steers at $500 to $S.45, quaran-
tine COWS $425to $50, Colorado pulp
fed steers $500 to $3.50, Montana hay

Hog receipts overran the estimate
% per cent today, the supply reach
ing 1000 head. Other markets were
we'll supplied, so that buyers were
able to continue the bear campaign
they inaugurated the middle of last
week. Prices we're 5 to 10 lower, top
$765, bulk $40 to $3.50. From the
Kansas and Missouri point of view
there seems no occasion for the ne
cent outbreak, but northern markets
are getting plenty of hogs. The sup
ply situation in Iowa and Nebraska
reveals plenty of hogs now with pros
poets for good runs all summer.
Sheep and lambs finished last week

clipped lambs sold around $7.75 today
ewes at $3.50 to $5.75. Wooled west
