VIII Lei Rate suit Alone.

Kansas probably will not join Mis-
souri, in an attempt to get an order
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to compel the railroads to
make a two-cent rate on interstate
passenger traffic bteween the two
states. John S. Dawson, attorney
general has advised Henderson Mar
tin, chairman of the Public Utilities
commission, against such action:
Chairman Martin said that while he
could not speak authoritatively in
the absence of the other members OF
the commission, he thought it prob
able that General Dawson's advice
would be followed.
The question was brought up by
the receipt of a letter from John NJ
Atkinson, chairman of the Missouri
Public Utilities commission, asking il
the Kansas commission would join
Missouri in asking the l. c. c. for
such an order. Both states have a
two-cent rate in effect now, but the
rate on interstate business generally
is two and one-half cents a mile. The
matter was referred to General Daw-
son, who held that while such action
would not be direct violation of the
stipulation entered into some time ago
with the roads in regard to passenger
rates, at the same time the state was
in measure bound by moral aspects
of the stipulation to wait until the
Nebraska rate cases are settled be-
fore starting anything else.
This stipulation was entered into
by General Dawson for the state of
Kansas and by the attorneys for all
the Kansas railroads, agreeing that
the thirteen lawsuits in the federal
court should sleep on the docket.
without trial and without prejudice
to the rights of the parties, until the
conclusion OF the Nebraska two-cent
fare litigation. The stipulation was
approved by Judge John c. Pollock.

The WEEK IN KANSAS
a RESUME OF INTERESTING or
cURRENcES FROM ALL
PARTS OF STATE,
DRY WEATHER IMPROVES SOIL
Experts at Agricultural College De-
clare That Big Crops Always Fol-
low Brouth-Heavy Soils
Benefit Most

Even the drouth has its blessings.
and Kansas farms will be better next
year for little dry weather this
summer.
By experience more than by theory.
IL mas been proved that a thorough
drying of the soil really makes IT
more productive. One extreme fca-
lows the other, and after the drouta
this year Kansas farmers will have
reason to bank on a big crop next
year.
Just why a good year follows a bad
one no crop or soil expert has been
able to figure out exactly, except that
as the ground dries out air is admit
ted deeper into the subsoiI and liber-
ates the plant food which is never
used when the surface of the ground
is moistened constantly
That the heavier types of soil are
affected the most and are more fav-
orable to a big crop the following year
was admitted by L. E. Call, professor
of agronomy and soil expert at the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
Experience has proved that soil
thoroughly dried out will produce bet
ter crops than soil that has been wet
all the time" said Professor Call.
Some process takes place when the
soil dries out, but no one has yet
been able to discover just what it is,
ether than as the soil dries out it
cracks and air is admitted deeper into
the subsoil, liberating plant food that
helps the next crop.
1T is a fact that an arid country
may be irrigated and an abundant
crop be produced, a bigger crop than
can be produced from ground that
has never dried out. The reason is
that the drying out has some action
on the soil
Air will cause a bacterial growth
six inches from the surface of the
ground. Normally the bacterial
growth, or plant food, is found about
twelve inches from the surface. Bac-
terra must have growth and when the
ground is kept full of water all of
this growth is confined to the first
foot. After ground has dried the
bacterial growth is found at a greater
depth
There should be an abundance of
plant food for next years crop in
Kansas. Outside of the wheat crop
there has been no growth to consume
the plant food in the soil AS the
air penetrates deeper more plant food
is liberated all the time, plant food
that never would reach the surface
if the top of the ground had been kept
full of water. At this time the pros
poets for crop next year are better
than if plenty of moisture had fallen
this year. Whenever there is a dry
season farmers can bank on a big
crop next year. If we get a normal
rainfall next year we will get more
than a normal crop"

Wheat Lacks the Life Germ.

Farmers in Central and Western
Kansas stand a chance of losing SI4
out of every SIS worth of seed wheat
they put in the ground this fall and
in addition may lose all of next years
crop, if the condition of wheat dis
covered recently in Otis by H. A.
Brack is general over the state.
Mr.. Brac& noticed in the spring
that something was wrong with the
wheat blooms. After threshing he
selected for seed wheat that tested
sixty pounds and better. Recently
he decided to see how much of it
would terminate. His tests, which
were exhaustive, showed that only
one seed out of every fifteen would
terminate.
Peter Brack, a banker of OlmitZ.
who owns more than 100 quarter Sec
tions of Western Kansas land, called
the attention of the board of directors
of the First National bank of Great
Bend to the matter and they will take
immediate steps to test wheat in va
rious parts of the county. Farmers
in every section are to be asked to
test their own wheat, so that if such
a condition is general, good seed can
be imported for the fall sowing.
The test is simple. Take a piece
of cloth, lay the wheat upon it and
throw a cloth over it. Cover it with
earth about an inch and a half deep
and soak the dirt well. At the end
of three days it can be taken out
and the wheat that is good will be
Sprouted
The report of tests will be pub
lished so that 1t may be known wheth-
er the crop this year is fit for seed
wheat or not
