SOME KANSAS FACTS.

"Tp the eastern part of the area the
AGRICULTURAL future is assured under
nresent methods, but towards the west
ern boundary of the state success will
only be obtained by careful planning
economy and more systematic methods
of dry farming"
The above statement is a scientific
view of the department of agriculture
Of the AGRICULTURAL future and pros
poets of 46 counties which make up
the western section of Kansas, a part
of the vast plateau known as the
Great Plains, which slopes gently east
ward from the Rocky Mountains.
The bureau of soils of the depart
ment of agriculture, with the purpose
of studying the agricultural conditions
of the Great Plains, began a survey of
the Great Plains and semi-arid section
of the country, and has just issued a
report of a reconnaissance survey of the
soils of western Kansas.
The report contains 104 printed pages
of matter dealing exhaustingly with
the agricultural conditions of the Sec
ton and a thorough study of soil con-
ditions, what crops they are best
adapted to, and what improved meth
DDS of farming would prove most pro-
fitable to the farmers. The report is
fittingly illustrated with photographs
of improved and unimproved features
of agricultural scenes, and is accom-
panied by a map in colors showing the
location of the many different types
of soils found during the survey.
The price of land in the territory.
according to the report, varies from
So to $40 per acre for grazing land. and
from SO to 500 an acre for farm land.
Irrigated and subirrigated and alluvial
lands demand the highest price. Land
values are constantly increasing, how
ever, and the cattle ranges are rapidly
being broken up into smaller tracts
for farming purposes.
The principal agricultural products
of the section, states the report, are
wheat, corn, oats, alfalfa, kaff1r milo
maize, hay, potatoes, broom corn,
melons, barley, rye, apples and other
fruits and truck crops.
Many changes in the agricultural
prosperity of the region due to drouth
has taken place, and the farming pop
ulation has fiuctuated in numbers. es-

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CA14ERON.

Keeping Ones Dislikes to Ones Self
We had been talking about rather
disagreeable woman who sometimes
comes to call on the ady-who-always-
knows-somehow.
Molly, the stenographer-Iady, came
into the room just in time to hear her
name mentioned. How L do dislike
that woman" she said, as she spread
out her hands to the open fire.
why do you say that, MoIly?" asked
the lady, a tone of gentle disapproval
evident in her voice.
Because do said Molly.
Yes. 1 know you do feel that way,
but why put it into words" pursued
the lady.
why shouldn't I?'' said Molly.
isn't it just as we'll not top insisted
the lady. Does it do you any special
good?"
NO" admitted Molly rather reluct-
antly, Il don't suppose it does
And do the incest people you know.
the folks you admire the most. go
round telling how they dislike people?"
Don't know that they do conceded
Molly. Il guess you're right as usual,
Lady. I take it all back Only I don't
have to say like her do I? Because I
don't. I just......Oh dear. I've said it
again"
Whereupon the lady laughed with
the rest of us and gave Molly up as
an incorrigible child.
But seriously. don't you agree with
the dy-who-always-kn ws-somehow
that it's wiser and finer to learn not to
express ones dislikes at every oppor-
tunity?
A friend Of mine used to offer some
indigestion tablets which had helped
her to all indigestion sufferers with this
recommendation. '"They can't hurt you
and they may do you some good"
Now it seems to me that one can say
just exactly the opposite about the
habit of hurting out ones dislike on
every possible occasion. at can't do
you any good and it may hurt you
And as the Lady says, you will realize
that the finest people, the people you
admire, don't do it. They probably
have their dislikes, being human, but
they don't take everyone into their con-
fidence about them any more than they
would about any of their private af-
fairs.
And again, you will notice that sue
cessful people, people who have made
their way in the world don't do it. They
have found it doesn't pay.
If we could train ourselves not to
waste energy in dislikes. that would be
ideal. Unfortunately to most of US
weak human beings, that is impossible.
But We can train ourselves to keep our
dislikes private. In he words of a
humble but very keen philosopher
Il s'pose maybe we can't help formin'
opinions, but I guess p'haps if we tried
poorly hard we could help mentionin' of
'em as frequent as we do"
