Sorghum.

Only a few years ago the
acreage of Kafir and all the sor-
ghums 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 Kafir has
been greater in many cases than
the yield of corn,
The Agricultural College pub
lished some months ago a bulle-
tin of Sorghums in Kansas, the
bulletin written by Prof. A. H.
Leidigh. This bulletin has been
sent to all Farmers, Institute
members in Kansas, and to all
country teachers, and these
teachers have all been asked to
have the pamphlet studied in
school during the month of Janu-
ary.
Now on Saturday, February
IS, at 2 2o'clock, the 400 Farmers
Institutes of Kansas are being
asked to have a meeting to dis
cuss this one subject of "Sor-
ghum IN Kansas" and Supt Edw
c. Johnson of the Farmers In
stitute Department of the Agri-
cultural College has suggested
the following outline for the af-
ternoon program on February
IS. 1t is hoped that not only
will the members of the Farm
ers' Institute meet for the after
noon, but an urgent invitation is
also extended to all farmers who
are not mem bers of the Farmers
Institute to attend that meet
ing.
Outline:
a What are the Sorgbums,
and why are they especially
valuable crops in Kansas?
b What types and varieties
are best suited to this local
ity? Why?
c What are the soil require
ments of Sorghum and when
and how should the seed bed
be prepared
d Give complete discussion
of, and reasons for, your
methods of planting and cul-
tivating the sorghum crop.
How should sorghum seed
be selected, tested, and
handled.
f Compare sorghum and cane
for feed and for silage.

TOLD HER LlFE'S AMBITION
small Girl Somewhat Cruceiy Ex-
pressed Her Desire to Be
Teacher When She Grew 10.

At one time or another during the
ward school life of a little girl there
prevails the ambition to become a
teacher. Perhaps it is the indisputable
authority possessed by the hand that
Yields the ruler or the nonchallant dis
play of wisdom on topics surround
ed by the most inaccessible difficl tiles
to the small boy and girl. They will
nearly always tell their ambitions to a
well liked teacher, and one rather sur
prising declaration was given by a
little maid in one of Miss Clara Town
sends room before She became princi-
pal of the James school.
Among the special favors coveted
by the youngsters is the permission
to stay behind after school and clean
the blackboards. One evening little
girl was given the desired privilege,
and while engaged in the task she
struck up shy sort Of conversation
with Miss Townsend. Finally the
usual confession was made.
When | grow up, | am going to be
q teacher" she announced.
THAT so?" pleasantly asked Miss
Townsend. And why do you want
to be a teacher?"
WELL was the rather surprising
answer, 'Tll have to be either a
teacher or a lady, and would rather
be a teacher. Indianapolis News.

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size of
a silver dollar. It spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
pies and wherever that touched it caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be Of any use.
"Then | got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment She tried to rub
off everything we put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after l washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them off. 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return of the trouble since. We
thought that baby's face would surely
be SCARED, but 1t Is not" (Signed)
