KANSAS WHEAT is ALL RIGHT FOR SEED

During the past few weeks num-
Der of statements have appeared in
different papers of the state regard
ing the poor terminating quality of
seed wheat. In order to ascertain the
truth of this matter, the agronomy
cultural College has tested fifteen or
more varieties grown at Manhattan
and at Hays, and at one or two other
sections of the state. Two tests were
made of each variety: In the case Of
one the blotting papers between which
the grain was held was disinfecte9
with formalin in order to keep the
grain from moldiDg, because of the
high temperature that prevailed; in
the other no formalin was added
Where the formalin was added the
average percentage of termination for
all the varieties was 97.7 per cent, and
none of the seeds in this test nodded
The termination could be considered
almost perfect. In the case OF the test
without formalin, where only water
was added, the termination was 74.9
per cent, practically all the wheat
nodded and weakened its termination.
The optimum temperature for the
termination of wheat is rs degrees to
so degrees. During the past few
weeks. the temperature has beer
around 100 degrees to- 10 degrees in
different parts of the state where the
wheat has been under test for germin-
alton. Under such intense heat wheat
will not terminate well; it will mold
before terminating. ] think that
without doubt those who have tested
their wheat for termination have
found 1t weak or poor, might find an
explanation in the fact that the tenn
perature was too great at the time of
making the test, and unlessa they dis
infected the containers in which flle
wheat was held. in order to prevent
mold, this probably materially weak
encd the termination. l am confident
that good wholesome wheat, wheat
that will test around 60 pounds, will be
found first class for planting in this
state II tested for termination under
normal conditions We now have un!
der test for termination large num-
Der of samples which have been re-
ceived from farmersin various sections
of the state. the results of which We
will publish within the next few days.
The tests we have already made,
together with what we know to be the
fact concerning the conditions neces-
sary for terminating wheat properly,
prompts us to make the statement that
the farmers OF Kansas are justified
in going ahead and planting well
graded seed of the past seasons crop.
The agronomy department has on
hand some 200 bushels of pure seed
wheat yet for sale in case anyone
wishes to obtain small amount fer
planting. This seed terminates al
most prefectly.

cording to date of seeding test which

sixty in that county before. Mr.. Wat

of farms alfalfa will be sown on land
where it never has been tried before.
even on land with rather tight sub

survive for only three or four years
on such land it will be as profitable a
crop as can be grown and it will be
exceedingly useful in the crop rota-

WARMING FOR SMALL TOWN
ideal 10 Not Beauty In Spots but That

monlous.

Lawson Purdy, In recent address,
emphasized the unfortunate living and
working conditions that have grown
out of the unnecessary congestion OF
New York's business center. He as
serted that the statement often made
by New Workers that the shape OF
their island makes congestion neces-
sary is absurd.
III 30 years ago we had made suit
able laws regulating the erection OF
buildings" he said. "the land values
in New York city would be more uni
form-would be more spread out.
When land values are spread out, 80
are the people. What we need most
is the Jaw Of love in city building"
He Quoted statistics showing that
within a single radius of 1000 feet are
two business lots, both 20 feet wide
and 100 feet deep. One of these lots
is valued at $1,25O.OO0. The other at
$4,000. He asserted that conditions
developed In New York's business sec
ton as result OF this unequal con-
gestion brought i'll health and fnan-
cial loss to the workers In the build
ings and to the proprletors OF these
buildings.
TOO long" he said, the idea OF city
planning has been the making OF a
city beautiful in spots. Real city plan

a city beautiful within and without
the making it an uplift to all who

EROUGH'S ANNOUNCEMENT

While the announcement that pr. c. H. Brough may become cand = date for Governor, in the event Joe T. Robinson, governor-elect, becomes a candidate for United States scna- tor, must come. as quite a surprise to the public generally, it has been Arkansas on Wheels" train, that Dr. Trough had political aspirat ,ons and that he was encouraged therein.
 As a matter of fact, the plan to in- duce pr. Trough to become a candi- date for Governor was quietly matched among the hundred or more "boos ers' on the train. The plan at that time was to promote pr. Brough's candidacy at the first op- portunlty. Under ordinary c'lTcum- stances the opportunity would not have come until the expiration of Governor-elecS Robinsons term. The sudden death of Senator Davis has resulted in these plans being speedily assembled and supporters and admir- CTS of the Arkansas educator are said to be bu lding platform that stands for placing the state on high plane from an educational, morl, commercial and financial standpoint.
 Should Dr. Brough enter the cam- paign his supporters will be largely the young men of the state, due largely to the fact that Dr. Brough illas been in close association with the students at the Arkansas Univer- sity. In fact, the educator has been recognized by the student body as co-worker and friend.
 During the Arkansas on Wheels tcnlr. pr. Brough was the principal orator in the party. It was during his many addresses that he fully de- monstrated his familiar ty with social, industrial financial and e1uca- tional conditions in Arkansas. He is recogn zed as the best student of affairs. political and social of Ark ansas, in the state. He is above the mere office seeking political c ass and as such should have the en- thusiastic support of all those who are dsgusted d wi.h the petty politics as played by the so-called states men of the past 10 years. !. ;.
 Dr. Brough announced that his platform would be better educational conditions, good roads, the crea ion of a state pardoning board, a special mill tax for the support of the state institutions, and beral apportion- ment of funds for the support Of the state normal, the d strict agricultural schools and the university.
 He is especially interested ill the advancement of agricultural educa- ticn and good roads. Dr. BrougA has been connected with the university for eleven years and since Fhat tlme

Fox, who is said to be rated at s. 900, declares that he will fight the case to a finish and will spend $40,- 900 to get back the $20,000 he claims to have lost. Indications are that he has plenty of money at Terre liaute and is what he claims to be in a business way, all of which promises a merry finish locally.
 Since he is a citizen of another state it is reported today that he may carry the matter into the United States courts.

 Gambling Houses Closed
 Be that as it may, one thing most unusual happened last night, and that was the absolute closing of every gambling house in' the city by Sheriff Bob Williams and his deputies There appeared to be difference of opin- ion between the city and county auth critics as to the proper course to pursue or as to the amount of signifi canoe to attach to Foxs charges, but after conference today it was stated that these authorities had reached an understanding and that a crusade, the most drastic in the history of Hot Springs, will be made on the vag rants, hangers-on and timber" gamb- lers of the city. It was rumored that perhaps a carload of undesirables will beforced out of the city by night, as the authorities are deter mined to rid the town or them, it is declared.
 The incident, whatever it's merit, has aroused the town to an unusual degree, as shown in the pronounced action taken in temporarily closing up all gambling houses.

 pulations. STORY OF LOSSES Details Rival Story of Mabray Gang All Gambling Houses
 Are Closed.
STORY OF LOSSES

Hot Springs, jar. 9-Charging that he had been sWindled out of $2O,00O, as the result of manipulations by par ties at the Indiana Club, one of the most noted of the gambling houses of this city, F'. P. Fox, who says he is an automobile dealer or Terre Haute, Ind, filed information against J. H. Ward, Joe Denton, Joe Aberly, Flayin and Wilks, before Justice of the Peace Duval here, asking their arrest on the charge of grand larceny. The warrants have been issued and that for Aberly has been, served. He is now in jail, with his bond fixed at $6,O00. Other arrests are momentar- fly expected.
 Not since the palmy days of the Mabray gang has more sensational story of alleged smooth manipulation been sprung, and the details as alleg- ed by Fox would form the back ground for feature story par excel lence.
 It is claimed by Fox that some time ago he met a man named Ward, one of those charged ill the warrants is sued here, who told him of the easy way of making money at the Hot Springs clubs. He says he met Ward in Indiana and that Ward declared he had a friend working. at the Indiana Club, but that his Ulend had not been treated right and wanted to get "even" with the club.
 It was suggested that if Fox would go to Hot Springs and make his bet tings through this friend of Wadrs who was supposed to be in charge of one of the roulette wheels, the results would come out favorably through his friends manipulation, and they would split on the revenues.
 Played the Game Rich.
 Fox, according the story, came to Hot Springs, and went to the Indiana Club, where. he followed instructions to the letter. He won from the first, his winnings reaching $26,700. He says. he put up a check for $20,O00, but that the club declined tQ accept the check until certified, and only gave a due-bill for his winnings. This due-hill they gave to Ward, to be held until the validity of the check for $20,00O could be determined.
 Fox says he decided to 50 to Terre Haute and get the money from his bank in order to remove all doubt as to his ability to write $20,000 checks. This was supposed to have happened last Friday, and on the following Tuesday, he says, he returned with the actual money from Terre Haute He redeemed the check, but in the meantime he charges that Ward, who still held the duebill for $26,70o, put this duebill upon games at the club and lost everything. He declares Ward had no authority to put up the duehill and that in so doing defraud- ed him out of his winnings from the club.
 He immediately sought legal coun- sel, employing Martin & Wooten as his attorneys, who advised him to file information before the proper auth
