HODGES PLANS
POND" DAY
Apply MissOuri's System to Water
Conservation.

Governor Says He WIN Work Out
Some Sort of . Plan--Knows
Ponds That Have Water -
in Them Now.

Topeka, Aug. 1S.-Gov. Hodges
Is making plans to have q pond
day in Kansas the last of this month
or the first of September. The
good roads days In Missouri this
week promise to be so successful
that the governor of Kansas wants
to try the scheme on another propo-
sition in Kansas, conserving the
water supply.
"The worst situation that has con-
fronted Kansas in many years is
with us now" said the governor. ut
is the water supply. We must take
care OF the future by saving the
water that falls in the winter and
spring months. This situation should
never confront us again. This year
has been a lesson. Other years have
been, but few paid any attention to
the lack of water and took no steps
to provide for other dry years.
kansas must conserve It's water
and hold it for dry times like this
l don't know what sort of plan
can work out On this proposition,
but believe we could have week
of pond building in Kansas that
would bring results. There ought
to have been a hundred thousand
ponds in Kansas full of water last
spring and still half full of water
now. know of some good ponds
that have four or five feet Of water
in them right now and there is no
shortage Of water on these farms.
That ought to be the thing on every
farm and I am going to try to get
pond built on each farm this fall
to store the winter water"

FEW WANT FREE SEED WHEAT
Four Out of Thirteen Counties Ac-
cept Offer.

Topeka. Aug. 14.-From the re-
ports SO far received, W.. P. FEEDER
secretary of the Kansas public utili-
ties commission, believes that not
more than ten or twelve counties in
the Sixth and Seventh districts will
want the railroads to haul SEED
wheat to some of their farmers free
of freight charges.
Some time ago Mr.. FEEDER sent
letters to all county clerks in those
two districts to ascertain what
number, If any, of the farmers would
like to have seed wheat hauled to
them by the railroads without trans
portation charges. The commission
prepared a certificate, to be fur
nished to farmers Through their
county commissioners, upon which
free transportation of seed wheat
can be had.
To date thirteen county clerks
have answered the query and only
four of that number stated that
they had some farmers who wished
to avail themselves of the offer to
haul the wheat in free of freight
charge, and the number of certifi-
Gates asked for by these counties is
not large. The four counties so far
desiring to avail themselves of the
free freight offer are Hodgeman,
which wants 100 certificates; Paw
nee, 800; Cove, 400 to 500, and
Ness. 25.

WESTERN KANSAS CATTLE
MEN HOLD STOCK

Larned, Aug. 1S.-Though west
ern Kansas cattlemen are facing a
bad feed shortage this winter many
of those who are more far-sighted
have decided to hold their cattle
and profit by the market lessons
learned IN 1911 and 1912. The
drouth of 1911 made corn and feed
scarce and high the followiAg win
ter. Cattle markets were glutted.
In 1912 the market went up, but
only those who had held their cat
tie through the winter profited by
the high prices. The lesson learned
has caused many of the larger cat
tie holders to discontinue shipments
at least for the present.
