All Olu FT1enQ,
Kitty ran to Dick and kissed him
with the warmth of real affection.
In a manner expressing extreme dis
approval Miss Ryan arose and with
a gesture that she took to be majes

door, closing off the room and Dick
and Kitty from her offended gaze.

compromising aspect of the closed
curtains She crossed over and drew
them apart, prepared to speak re-
provingly to that telephone girl but
thought better Of any exhibition of
temper, as an attractive young chap
with clothes that had been built in
the heart of Fifth avenue, stopped by

Kitty looked with deepening in

when Kenneth Nelson would long in

'Is it all right my buttin' in. kid?
I don't want to spoil nothin'," said
Dick with a touch of anxiety-ten-
derness almost.
"Why shouldn't 1t be all right? I'm
not ashamed of my friends" Kitty
tossed it off with fine little show Of
spirit.

Boys Corn Contest.

The boys of Kansas have been do
ing lot of good farming in the last
few years and have shown their eld-
ers some things. One boy from Doni-
phan county produced over one hun
dred bushels of corn from one acre,
and another. boy way up in Decatur
county got a yield of over seventy
eight bushels. Another boy up in
Cheyenne county, the extreme north
western corner county, grew one
hundred and three bushels of pota-
toes from one third of an acre.
Now this year the Agricultural
College is making great plans for the
biggest series of contests ever known
in Kansas. Mr.. c. D. Steiner, the
Boys Club man, wants to get 10000
boys lined up in these contests for
growing Corn, Kafir, Potatoes, etc.
He must have local men who will
help. He must depend on Farmers
Institute Officers, county superin-
tendents, commercial clubs. bankers,
preachers, and lot of people to help
in this good work.
Along with these contests for boys
Gnere are suggested contests Tor the
girls in bread, cakes, canned fruit
and vegetables, and sewing. Mr..
Steiner is going to look to some of the
above people and to public spirited
women to help. He hopes these
good folks will not wait too long. All
preparations should be made in F'ebu-
airy and prizes announced. 1t is re-
commended that in each community
one or more prizes be given in the
form of a "trip to the State Insti-
tute' at Manhattan next winter
with all expenses paid. Mr.. Steiner
wants to get thousand letters from
interested people. The little pam
phlet describing these contests will
be ready for mailing about the
middle of February. Address Ex-
tension Division, Manhattan.

SORGHUMS IN KANSAS
Kansas Forage Crop Increased Fifty
Per Cent
Market Correspondent

only lew years ago the acreage of
kahr and all the sorghums in Kansas
was only few hundred thousand
acres. The figures for 1912 report
more than one and one-half million
acres in sorghum crops and the yields
per acre in western Kansas have been
very much greater than corn, and
even in eastern Kansas, the yield of
katr has been greater in many cases
than the yield of corn.
The Agricultural College published
some months ago bulletin on Sorgh-
ums in Kansas, the bulletin written
by Prof. A. H. Leidigh This bullet
in has been sent to all Farmers. In
stltute members in Kansas, and to all
country teachers and these teachers
have all been asked to have the

We will stake few good farmers

crops to land in an irrigated country.
Each farm has large field of alfalfa,

hogs to work up crops. Milk and
hogs produced to be divided. This
farm land is located on Union Pacific

tunity for daring and hog raising

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Tuesday,
February 4, 1913. Cattle supplies at
all points are little smaller this
week, which gives the market a
healthy tone, though prices are not
much higher. Quarantine steers
sold 10 higher Yesterday in some cases,
steers this week ranging from $500
to 37.40 in that division. Native fed
steers are shade stronger this week,
and Stockers and feeders are as high
as any time this winter. No prime
steers have been here, but a fair
number of native steers have sold at
$500 to $3.50, bulk of them 1925 to
1925. Yearlings sold up to $500 to-
$3.50, bulls $500, veal calves $1,000.
Buyers of stock cattle and feeders
took 13, 600 cattle to the country last
week, and $1,000 during the month of
January, $4,000 more than in January
last year. All sections bought more
heavily this year than last, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, each
showing true to form indicated by
the augmented total. 1t shows uni
versal desire to get into cattle, and
market conditions and prospects bear
out hope for suitable rewards for
greater exertions in cattle production.
Stock steers run from S6. 90 to 81. 35,
feeders s7.1O to $3.50, stock she stuff
S. 25 to sc. 25.
Hogs overran the estimate today,
total receipts nearly 10000 head.
Packers wanted them and prices
are 10 higher, top s7.70, bulk $3.50

Health Almanac.

THE Kansas State Board of Health
has published its second annual
Health Almanac for 1913 Informa-
tion "HoW to avoid infectious di-
seases'' is presented in an interesting
and instructive fashion; the editor
declares that there is no speculation
nor theorizing in the statements that
are made. You can, therefore accept
as tried and proven every assertion
that is set.s forth regarding disease
prevention.
ga feature of the Almanac is the
important dates in Kansas history
that are set opposite the days of each
month; these dates are interspersed
with pungent health epigrams in a
way that fixes the attention on the
subject matters treated.
s'The State Department of Health
will furnish one of these Almanacs to
any citizen of Kansas upon his re-
quest on a postal card, and it Is con-
fdently hoped that on every mantle
in Kansas may be seen hanging a
copy of the Health Almanac. By fire.

not been able to secure any surplus

the end of the winter packing season
less than a month away, accumuIa-
