Hutchinson, KAMA test case to de-
termine once for all whether the land
in the Arkansas river is accretions
belonging to the farms on either side,
or is really "island" land, is to be sent
up to the state supreme court. Hun
dreds of settlers are now "squatting'
on the valuable alfalfa lands along the
bed of the Arkansas river, which has
within a few years narrowed it's chan
mel about one-half. They have filed on
this land as school land on the theory
that it is island The farmers and
ranchmen along the river banks claim
this land belongs to them as accre'
lions. Thousands Of acres of land are
involved in scores of cases filed In
Reno, Rice, Barton and Ford counties.
In the latter county part of the Dodge
City public park is involved. I'VE must
decide these cases in the supreme
court and test case will be sent up,

Put Sand in the Wheat.

The Kansas board of health is gath
ering a great deal of evidence against
elevator owners and threshers for
prosecutions for violations of the Kan
sas food and drugs act because of adul-
terations in wheat. A car of wheat
was received in Topeka the other day
that contained 600 pounds of sand,
added by the elevator man. The car
had been specially cleaned before the
wheat was loaded and the sand ap-
parently added after the load was
made. An inspector of the department
went to an elevator last week and
watched the loading of car Of wheat.
He found secret spout in an elevator.
Through this spout came spoiled or
stock-damaged grain, and it was being
mixed with the first-class grain as 1t
went into the car and the entire ship
ment being sold as first-class wheat
1.-THE campaign Is not against the
farmers, but against the crooked grain
dealers and elevator men," said Dr..
S. ]. Crumbine, secretary of the board.
"There are only few Of these men
that we have to watch, but the evii
dence is piling up with every car Of
grain they ship, and we will prose
cute them for adulterating foods"

The above is copy of the telegram
sent to A. NJ Farington,) acting chlef
of the bureau of animal industry by
State Live Stock Sanitary Commits
sjoner ]. H. Mercer, after repeated re-
quests for assistance in handling the
horse disease, which is playing such
havoc with the farmers of western
Kansas, had failed.
"The bureau of animal industry was
created for the purpose OF handing
lust such situations as the one ex-
listing in Kansas" said Mr.. Mercer.
1.-THE law says So"

Mr.. Mercer and the FEDERAL department

wrote several letters asking for veter-
inarians. He received no satisfaction.
Then he began telegraphing. HIS
first telegram sent September 2 read:
Can you not detail ten or fifteen vet
Urinary surgeons from your depart
ment to assist in controlling the cpl
demic among horses in western Kan
sas? Losses reaching thousands. Con-
dition critical"
The reply to this Telegram was sent
by Acting Chief harrington and READS
"Bureau has detailed expert patnol-
ogist and bacteriologist to investigate
diseases of horses. Preliminary inveti-
CATION indicates enzootic cerebro spi-
nal meningitis. Forage poisoning not
contagious. Due to local drouth. DIS
ease can be controlled by change OF
feed and abundant diet without detail
of bureau veterinarians"
Mr. Mercer then sent the following
telegram to Mr.. Farington:
Had we not been in urgent need OF
veterinary assistance to control the
disease among horses we would not
have asked the department for aid. We
again ask you to detail veterinary as
sistance. viii you or will you not
comply? Wire at once, so if you can
not help us we can advise the people
and make other arrangements
In due time Acting Chief harrington
replied as follows, expressing doubt as
to the seriousness of the situation:
when the bureau is convinced that
Kansas horses are infected with a con-
tagious disease veterinarians will be
Immediately assigned to assist the
s+ota in controlling it,"
1t was then that Mr.. Mercer lost MS
good nature and sent the telegram
referred to at the beginning of this ar
ticle.

KANSAS TOPICS
Porker as Big as Small Horse.

Stafford, Kan.-J. A. Prater, of this
city, has giant porker which he is
preparing to exhibit at county fairs in
this part of the state this fall. The
big fellow measures eight feet and
eight inches in length, is forty inches
high and has a girth of six feet and
nine inches. He is years old. This
hog is in good flesh, nut is not fat
in any sense of the word. He handles
himself as though he was equal to a
footrace at any time. Mr.. Prater has
never had him on the scales, but estl-
mates his weight at about LOO
pounds. The hog would easily take on
800 or 400 pounds more with proper
feeding.

TO QUIT SUNFLoWER STATE

Up New Line of Work-Too Far
From Kansas.

Secretary F. d. Coburn of the state
board of agriculture has fine chance
to leave Kansas and take up a line Of
work similar to his present line and
at fancy salary. He has had lot
of such offers and has turned them

He has received a hurry-up invita-
ton to cut loose from Kansas and
take charge Of 60.o00-acre farming
enterprise in Texas, for an organiza-
ton with unlimited capital and ev-
erythihg requisite to make the layout
as nearly garden of Eden = as is
possible"
The offer says: ''If you will con-
slider a PROPOSITION of this kind, wire
and we will not only make it worth
while from a salary standpoint, but
surround you with conditions that will
be as nearly ideal as your most san
guine deans of paradise conjure.
your business would be to ride around
in an auto and supervise and direct
the work of agriculture, and have the
management of all these farms
Mr.. Coburn has not accepted and in
Inmates that Texas, with all its al
lurements, is not one of his ambitions.
It's too far away from Kansas.
Mr.. Coburn has suggested that Prof.
A. NJ. Teneyck. so long identified with
agricultural college and experimental
station work in Kansas would be an
invaluable man in the Texas under
taking.
Prof. Teneyck recently resigned as
head of the experiment station at
Hays.
