SANTA FE IS IN IT..
j. r. Koontz Made Suggestion for
Agricultural Congress.

Kansas, which has been very pro-
ductive state ever since it was placed
on the map, is getting ready to make
two things grow where only one grew
before. A statewide conference,
known as the Kansas Agricultural
and Industrial congress, Will be hsld
in Hutchinson, November 19 and ~,
for the purpose of aScerta1n1ng the
best methods for increasing the pro-
ductiveness of the soil. Delegates Will
be selected from every township III
the state, from the farmers societies,
commercial and manufacturing or
CARNATIONS, railroads and women 5
clubs. An attendance of more than
5000 is expected.
A railroad man made the suggestion
for the farmers conference. R..
Koontz, general freight agent of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
company. Mr.. Koontz presented his
views on the subject personally to
forty-three prominent kanSans In va
rious parts of the state, all interested
in agricultural development, and or
ganized them into temporary COM
mittee which met and perfected ar
rangements for the conference A
permanent organization was effected
by the election of Edwin Taylor of
Edwardsville to be president; George
B. Plumb of Emporia, vice president;
w. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, secre-
tary, and Scott Hopkins Of Topeka,
treasurer.
The plan is to have the best talent
in the United States on the program,
and every important phaze of farm
activity will be discussed. Several
western states are watching the kan
sas experiment with keen interest, and
il is likely that Oklahoma, New Next
CO and Colorado will have similar con-
Ventions.
The Kansas war cry now is for
scientific and intensive farming, and
the men who are backing the farmers
congress with their time, talent and
money express the belief that an
awakening is at hand which will adj
from SIS, 100000 to 500, 900, 600 to the
value of the annual farm production
in the state.

Spring HILL Kan. Aug. 31.-The big
Spring Hill Grange fair will be held
The indications point to the best fair
the association has ever held. Crops
in this community are abundant and
the display of farm products and ex-
hibits of live stock promise to be the
largest and best in the history of the
fair.
The demand for space and pens is
double what it has ever been. The

Thursday Democratic day and Friday
