The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad will start new freight serv-
ice next spring which is intended to
help reduce the high cost of living to
the people in the cities and provide
market for much good farm produce
that now is allowed to rot and waste.
The company will establish a refrig
orator car service over all of its lines
to pick up small lots of farm produce
for the markets, in reality, the surplus
garden stuff of the farmers. On GER.
tain days each week a refrigerator
car will be started from certain points.
The farmers will be notified when the
car will be at their station, and as 1t
goes along the half dozen baskets of
tomatoes, few sacks of potatoes, or
any surplus products will be picked
up. The car will be properly iced all
the way to the terminal There all
the tomatoes that have come in over
three or four lines will be put into one
car, and all the peaches or apples in
another, and all the sweet corn in an
other, making up carload shipments of
each class. Then the cars will be
billed through to the big markets,
where the company will find a market
for the produce and remit each farmer
his share.

Topeka.-A1ter a study OF seveA-
teen years on the Kansas grasshopper
problem, DIR. S. ]. Hunter, state ento-
mologist and head Of the state uniyer-
sity department of entomology, was
able to forecast a victory over the
pests. Within two years, DR.. Hunter
asserts, the native grasshopper in the
southern half of Kansas will be re-
duced to a harmless quantity.
Discing the ground in the<spring to
destroy the eggs and distributing poi
son in the summer to kill the. insects
is the program outlined for the CAM
paign. That poison, used since July
on Southern Kansas farms, cut down
three out of every four grasshoppers
has been proven by actual test.
This final war of determination was
made possible by the board of admin
istration of educational Institutions OF
Kansas, which approved DR.. Hunters
plan last June and appropriated funds
to see him through. The board rec
ognized the elimination of the pest
would mean saving of millions to
farming interests of Kansas, and was
anxious to use the state university
machinery in this work of salvage.
With the approval Of the board, the
university opened fire by sending p.
w. Claasen, H. T. Emery, H. 3. Hun
gerford, E. w. Mallory and d. Isely,
assistant entomologists, to the various
counties to urge the commissioners to
authorize the purchase of poison for
use in their district The majority
readily co-operated.
Observation since 1896 has con-
vinced DR.. Hunter and his assistants
that the grasshoppers that were in
juring Kansas crops did not migrate,
SO the attack centered on the one
idea that the farmer who killed the
insects on his own farm would be safe
for all time.

Fire buckets for every Kansas farm
house are advocated by Harrison
Parkman, state fire marshal. THE
approach of winter, when pumps and
water taps freeze, suggests the in
stallation of fire protection on the
farm" according to Fire Marshal
Parkman. Every household should
be equipped with a fire bucket pro-
vided with cover, filled with water
and used for no other purpose. One
such bucket, at least, should be pro-
vided on every floor of the house or
barn. To overcome the danger of
freezing add to each bucket of water
little more than two pounds of fused
calcium chloride. This will prevent
freezing at temperatures above zero"
