FARMERS COOPERATE TO IRRIGATE LAND

On the advice of the state engineer
it was decided to build concrete dam
twenty feet high and 80 feet wide
across the creek. The dam will have
gates in it and bridge on top. A
spillway at one end will take care of
flood waters. Such a dam, Mr.. Gear
hart says, will back up water in the
creek for ten miles. On some farms
through which the stream passes it
will be an easy matter to use this back
water simply by cutting through the
banks of the stream which rises
above the surrounding land in many
places. Where the water is below the
neighboring fields, Pumps will be used
to lift the water. A water wheel at
the dam will furnish power to do some
Of this pumping.
The agricultural college engineers
are preparing to give much Of their
time this fall in helping to construct
ponds water supplies and irrigating
plants. Many calls are being received
now from all parts of the state asking
for help in this work These applica-
lions will be cared for in the order
received.

Five farmers near Great Bend are
entering into a cooperative scheme
whereby they will be able to irrigate
some $50 acres of their farms in dry
times. They propose to get water for
this purpose by damming Wet Walnut
creek, which flows through their land.
Frank P Wood, who is fathering the
project, expects to irrigate 300 acres;
W. S. Hill, 125 acres: Sam Dorfshaf-
fer, 100 acres; John Wood, $50 acres,
and E. B. Kellam, 100 acres. w. S.
Gearhart, state engineer at the agri-
cultural college, is preparing the
plans for the dam.
When KOopman brothers, in the
same neighborhood, harvested 26 BUSH
els of wheat to tie acre this season
from a thirty-acre field that had been
overlooked by small freshet from
Wet Walnut last May, and when other
wheat fields in the vicinity yielded
only two or three bushels to the acre,
farmers along this creek began to
think. 1t resulted in their determine
ton to use some of the water from
Wet Walnut when their fields began
to get dry.

If farmers are careful to feed only
sorghum hay which is thoroughly dry
there will be little danger Of prussic
acid poisoning. That is the advice of
the veterinary department at the
Kansas Agricultural College which has
investigated the trouble many farm
ers are having in feeding cane, kafir
and milo as roughage. If silage is to
be made of these crops, allow them
first to dry and then if it is necessary,
water may be added as they aye put
into the silo.
After long drought or when
growth is stunted from other causes,

tain a large amount of prussic acid

wife with reference to the stock that
is used for breeding purposes. On the
Eastern markets Kansas eggs, as
whole, do not rank as high as they
should. For instance, they do mot
rank in size with the eggs of Michigan,
Ohio or New York. Kansas is natuT-
ally at somewhat of a disadvantage in
being a good way from the markets.
Her eggs will be found going by the
carload to New York and Boston, CHS
cago, and down into New Mexico;
west of Denver to Salt Lake City and
to many of the Pacific coast points.
In my judgment there is one COM
mon cause throughout the state that
is at the bottom of this question, Of
small eggs and small stock 1t is the
widespread practice Of breeding from
pulets. The pul1et begins to lay when
she is six to nine months old. This,
of course, varies with the individual
and breed. Because she lays, how

A pullet lays a small egg that
matches a small chick, that fails to
reach the size attained by another
pullet Matched from a hen egg. In the
course of time, she comes into laying,
and produces an egg that is slightly
smaller than the one from which she
was Matched, which in turn produces
chick that is slightly smaller than she
was at birth, and so on, thus graGu-
ally subtracting from the size If the
race. This means small stock and
small eggs. It was also found that on
top of this, on an average, the per
centage of hen eggs that Matched, as
compared with pu1let eggs, was 10
per cent greater and that while the
chicks Matched from hen eggs showed
a mortality of , per cent, the chicks
Matched from pullet eggs show NOR

times greater.
Beyond this, in breeding from pull

HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY WITH CHICKENS
PRACTICAL TALK BY A POULTRY EXPERT
Change the Present System of Marketing and Proper Care
Breeding Would Greatly Improve the Situation in
Kansas-Eggs From PuIets
Make Weak Chicks

EBy w a. Lippincott, Professor of
" HE QUESTION of how to make
more money from chickens nat
uraIIy divides itself into the
questions of how to secure more profit
from the hens already on the farms,
on the one hand, and how to make
more profit by improving our poultry,
on the other The first is largely
marketing question, the second e
breeding question. shall take up the
question of marketing first, because
it is the one which will bring in
creased profits most quickly, though
not necessarily most surely.
AS farmers are well aware, most Of
the eggs bought in Kansas. whether
by merchants or poultry dealers, are
purchased by the so-called case-count
system. According to this system, all
eggs offered by the producer are pur-
chased at given price, without re-
gard to their quality. Eggs that have
lain for a week under q cOrn-crib or in
a straw stack, that are understood and
dirty, are purchased at the same price
as eggs that have been taken care CT
by the most approved methods, and
are of the very finest quality. Such
a system of buying is fundamentally
wrong, no matter what the product.
The only way that we can hope to i'm
prove the quality of Kansas eggs is to
give the farmer financial incentive to
produce and sell better goods. We
must touch his pocket nerve. The
only way that this can be accom-
plished is to pay the farmer who takes
pains to offer good goods a better
price that his more shiftless neighbor.
In one town last year a man who
was paying 14c for eggs, case-cOUnt,
changed to quality basis and began
paying 1512c for first class and 131ac
for second class eggs. The result was
that inside of two weeks the average
quality of the eggs that he was buying
had increased perceptibly, and he was
paying nearly 15c as an average
price for eggs. The farmers were bet
ter satisfied because they got a higher
price for their product. The dealer
was better, satisfied because he was
getting better quality of eggs. They
cost him more money, but he was able
to demand a better price for them.
Besides the need of a better price
for the good product furnished US Icy
the Kansas hen, and of better meth
DDS of caring for that product, VIC
need to take steps to secure a better
