The average yield of winter
wheat from the United States
could easilv be increased five
bushels to the acre if farmers
would give more attention to the
preparation of the seed-bed, to
the planting of good, wholesome
seed of an adapted variety and
the growing of wheat in a rota-
ton with other crops. Altogeth-
er too much winter, wheat is
planted on ground shallow piow-
ed. ground plowed a few days
before planting and on ground
continuously cropped to wheat.
Land prepared and cropped in
such manner soon looses it's
ability to provide available food
and, water, the essentials in the
production of large Yields

We had a large amount of "pi'
at this Office last Friday morning
much to our sorrow. The forms
had been given their weekly lye
bath and were on their way back
to the composing stone when,
unannounced and without notice
the whole front page "pied. "
In the twinkling of an eye, head,
column rules, leads, slugs, type
and all lay in one heap-and we
never said word about it, just
went to work and picked it up.

Careful estimates made in 1911
show that the farmers of the
United States lost about $3.50
600 that year through prevent
able fungous diseases of their
cereal crops, such as wheat, oats
barley and sOrghums. Not only
was the grain lost, to a total val
ue of $35, 100000. but the farmer
had to go to all the labor and ex-
pense of cutting and handling
the straw on which this grain
should have grown and did not.
Not only are these smuts pre-
ventable, but also preventab BILE
by cheap and effective methods
OF control, easily employed by
any farmer. For so or 90 cents
worth of prevention he can pro-
duce from $500 to $500 worth of
grain free from disease. Fuller
information concerning these
methods of treatment may be
obtained from the State Expert
ment Stations or from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture,
free of charge.

THE KANSAS
STATE FAIR
To Be Held At Hutchinson
Sept. 1920


has been for just ten years and
finally after long contest, the
question of the State Fair was
settled once and for all. Hutch
inson offered no inducement that
was not offered by other places,
but it being so nearly in the CEN
ter of the state, out in the heart
of agricultural Kansas, it was
deemed by the Legislature the
most feasible location. The
Management was placed in the
Kansas State Board of Agricul-
ture, which is now managing and
controlling the State Fair.
The State Fair this year prom
ises to be one of the great expo
sitions of the Western States.
Other states have older State
Fairs, but this one is building on
the old fair that has been so sue
cessful for the past twelve years.
1t is in every way equal in scope
to any other State Fair. 1t will
have the exhibits and will surely
have the people.
The Kansas State Fair is the
natural meeting place of the
breeder and the buyer. Kansas
is the third cattle state of the
Union and stockmen from all
over the State seek the benefits
TO be derived from attending.
1t will have the greatest exhibi-
tion of swine and sheep in the
State. In poultry it has been a
leader. In farm implements and
machinery it is at the top of all
State Fairs and Expositions in
America. The tractor engine
display and demonstration is one
OF the great features of the Fair.
All the departments in which the
ladies' are interested will be filled
with exhibits. Agriculture will
be displayed to its best advantage
and the horticultural display will
be dream of beauty. It's apiary
department. excells all other
fairs and must be seen to be ap-
Dreciated.
The grounds comprise 112
lcres upon which are ample fa-
,ilities for the State Fair at pres
Int. 1t has the largest and best
srand stand in the state and it's
rack is practically perfect.
There will be six great races
very day, and the very highest
lass free attractions ever
'rought to the State Interspers-
d. The free attractions alone
re worth the thrilling,
pectacular entertaining.
The Horse Show is the great
ew feature. We will have the
nest driving and saddle horses
nd the classes will be inter-
persed by the most splendid
rec attractions and fine music.
'uesday, Wednesday and Thurs
ay nights are devoted to this
how. Carnival and other shows |
ill be on every night in the |
eek. 1t is known from reser-
atoms made already and gener.
correspondence that it will be

Railroads carry all exhibits in f

now purposes, for one freight :

Greatest Swindler, Plucked
Many an Unwary "C0me-On"

NEW YORK. Sept. l5.-Christopher
J, Tracy. known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific as the king Of fake wire
tappers." died I'm the Polytechnic Hos
pital Thursday night of dropsy. Few
knew of the fact until yesterday. Last
night the body was taken to Toronto,
Canada, for burial.
Services were held yesterday after.
noon In the Tracy home, No. ia West
One Hundred and Ninth street, and
were attended by scores of acQuaint-
ances who had known him when he
made enormous sums separating out
of-town "come-ons" from their money.
The house was nlled with flowers.
Tracy came OF good family, but
after obtaining an education he de-
cided to follow the path of least re-
sistance leading to wealth. He con.
, ceived the fake overlapping swindle,
and though he had many imitators
he had no superior. He fraterrNged

victims "squealed" For the most
part they were men from small cities
who could not stand the notoriety
and swallowed their losses. One such
was resident of Ohio. Tracy was
introduced to him as real estate
broker. He said he needed $4,000
cash to pull off big deal and was
willing to double the money for the
man who made the loan.
Tracy offered to put up the Flat
iron Building as security and give his
note besides. He took the Ohioan
through the building, spoke familiar
ly to the elevator boys, showed the
unoccupied offices and got the $4,000.
Then he gave the victim banquet
with his own money and sent him
home to wait for the $4,000 he ex-
pected In ninety days. He 10 waiting

Tracy. though taken into custody
many times, and convicted at least
once, never served time. There was
always some loophole through which
he could squeeze. He lived high, was
known In every lobster palace In
town and was something Of a first
nighter. He dressed quietly and in
excellent taste.
