Right at the start traders yesterday ran
into lot Of overnight selling orders. and
although buying by Liverpool for pronts
OH straddles helped the market little,
1t was followed by break which carried
prices into new low ground for the sea-
son, with January selling at 1l.1ic, or
81 80 bale under the high of ten days
ago, and $40 SO a bale under the high OF
last October. There was a slight rally
just before the close, but final figures
were within point or two OF the lowest
net &C % points below the close of Sat-
urday. There was nothing special In the
but the trade felt the influence of the
views inspired by Saturdays ginning fig
ures. and while some CT the Southern sell
.hg was thought TO be against spot cotton
held in the interior. the most general view
was that the offerings represented liqui-
dation by discouraged longs 1t was ru-
mored that some of the heavier long lines
lad been completely closed out, and there
is no doubt that there has been drastic
liquidation since January contracts sold

From the Agricultural College

This Office has received from the
Kansas State Agricultural College
two pamphlets of interest to young
people and to others who like to
know about our great industrial in
stitution. One pamphlet tells about
the School of Agriculture, the sec
ondary or elementary school of the
College. Under the new arrangement
the courses in this school are intend
ed primarily for those who may not
want a complete college course. 1t
is intended to reach the boys and
girls of the country who do not. find
it convenient to attend a high school,
but who want to known something of
agriculture or mechanic arts or home
economics. In this sense the
School of Agriculture is to be a fin
ishing school for hundreds of young
people.
: The other pamphlet tells about the
courses in Agriculture, Engineering,
Veterinary Medicine, General Science
and Home Economics. These pam
phlets give practically all the big cat
alogue that is usually published in
July. These pamphlets and the cat
alogue will be sent on application to
the President of Agricultural Col
Iege, Manhattan.

DICTAGRAMS

A green and thriving tree is
thing of beauty and joy to the be-
holder, but dead worm eaten stub
is an abomination in the sight of the
thrifty.
Cleaning up private property at
public expense is working on the
wrong principle. Every family
should be taught, and every owner
be required to keep his premises in
sanitary and slightly condition. To
do this work at the expense of others
although sometimes excusable) is to
put premium on laziness and affords
an excuse for careless habits
Would it not be a good thing to
encourage neighborhood pride. Let
the neighbors living in any city block
hold themselves responsible for the
sanitary condition of their block
Let US have little friendly strife
or emulation, as to which block
makes the best appearance.
Under the new marriage record law
the initial part of the record of every
marriage will be found in the county
where the licenses is issued and the
concluding part is to be recorded at
Topeka. Can any thinking person
believe that such division of i'm
portant records is wise or prudent.
o
Does anyone know how many mar
riages there are in Kansas every year9
Probably not, although if it were any
persons business to know the num-
Der he might find out by taking the
trouble to inquire of the several Pro
bate Judges in the state. One ad-
vantage of the new law will be to
make such knowledge easily access
ihle, but that one convenience might
have been secured with much less
red tape and less expense.
Let US estimate the number of mar
riages per year year in Kansas. TAX
ing Trego county records and popuI
alton for the last six years as fair
comparison Tor basis), the average
rate is about marriages per year
per thousand population. According
to the census of 1910 the population
of the state was 1,690 Ms. Multi
plying this number by we get 15,
2I0 as the average number of mar
riages in Kansas per year. For each
marriage license issued the Probate
Judges collect fifty cents which must
be sent to the Registrar at Topeka
at the end of the month. The aver
age number of marriages per month
is about 1,25O. If this estimate is
correct it appears that the Registrar
collects every month about S625
which should provide a pretty fair
salary for two or three clerks
and probably leave little surplus
that might be used to ''reduce taxes"
Have you ever noticed that reduc-
tion of taxes generally means only to
take little off of one mans burden
and pile it onto another. An actual
reduction of taxes can be accom- plish-
ed only by reduction of expenditures,
which rarely happens as commun-
ity grows older and more populous
A comparative reduction by an in
crease in the mass or valuation of
property. However, this pretense
of tax reduction is great scheme for
Juggling one set of fellows out of
office and another set in.

O1AUTAUQUA at WA-kEENEY First Wsek We ;si in Au-
Kill The Hoppers

Manhattan, Kan, May 31-The
grasshoppers are coming. Some of
them are already at work. Fully 90
per cent of the. eggs laid last fall
passed through the winter uninjured
according to George A. Dean, the
bug expert at the Kansas Agriculture
college. . Professor Dean says grass
hoppers probably will do more dam
age this year than in 1912 unless
prompt and vigorous work is done to
destroy them. Poison bran mash,
the hopperdozer, poultry and young
hogs have proved efficient for check
ing the ravages of grasshoppers.
| Poison bran mash should be made
this way:-21 pounds, Paris green or
white arsenic, L pound; syrup 2
quarts; oranges or lemons, 3. Water
1-2 gallons.
In preparing the bran mash mix the
bran, Paris green or white arsenic
thoroughly, in wash tub while dry.
Squeeze the juice of the oranges or
lemons into the water, and chop the
remaining pulp and the peel to fine
bits and add them to the water. Dis
solve the syrup in the water and wet
the bran and poison with the mix
ture, stirring at the same time so as
to dampen the mass thoroughly.
The bait when favored with oranges
or lemons was found not only to be
more attractive but was more appel
izing and thus was eaten by more of
the hoppers
The damp mash or bait should be
sown broadcast in the infested areas
early in the morning. The amount
of bait made by using the quantities
or ingredients given in the formula
should cover four or five acres. AS
very little of the bran mash is eaten
after it becomes dry, scatter it broad
cast in the morning in very thin
places where the largest number will
be find it in the shortest time. Sow
ing it in this manner also makes it i'm
live, stock to get enough to- kill them.
On alfalfa fields, in order to get the
best results the bait should be ap-
piled after crop has been removed
and before the new crop has started.
As the poisoned bait does not act
quickly, it will be from two to four
days before the graSshopperS are
found dead and these will be more
numerous in sheltered places. 1t
does not take much poison to kill
them. Even small portion from
one of the poisoned fakes will be
sufficient to cause death. Coal oil
has been used in many ways for the
destruction of grasshoppers, but is
most commonly used in the hopper
dozer, device which consists of a
long, shallow, galvonized iron pan
attached to runners. The hopper
dozer is very effective where it can be
drawn over an infested area near the
surface of the ground. 1t is neces-
sary wherever grasshopers become
destructive. On infested bare areas
or fields where it does not injure the
crops, grasshopper damage. can be
quickly checked by its use. 1t can be
used without injury in an alfalfa
field for two or three weeks after a
crop has been cut
Any grade of kerosene may be used
in the hopperdozer. The first cost of
the hopperdozer should not be more
than S8- 1t should be operated at a
cost not to exceed 20 cents an acre.
