why inquiries J. H. Miller, dean
of the division of college extension at
Manhattan, "Why should not every
grain dealer in Kansas be careful
student of agriculture, a student oil
soils? Why should he not personally
investigate the work of every good
farmer in his territory and carry the
ideas of one good farmer to others
not so successful? Why should he
not become an authority and gain the
respect of those whose business it is
to grow wheat in order that they may
grow the right kind and deliver 1t In
the right condition in order that ne
may market it in the right place and
for the right purpose and at the right
price? Why should not every grain
dealer become n milling expert by
careful study of the milling business
in order that he may know just what
the wheat in his territory will do in
the mill? The Agricultural College
maintains a department Of milling in
dustry with a most capable man In
charge and his services are offered
free for all kinds of instruction when
it is so desired, relative to the han
ding wheat.
THE permanent prosperity of Kan
sas is going to depend more upon our
live stock interests than upon any
thing else. You ask how that has
anything to do with your business.
Unless we grow more livestock we
cannot maintain our soil fertility; un-
less we maintain the fertility Of our
soil you cannot get grain to ship and

STATE ROCK ROAD IS PLANNED

HE FINDS BIG LOSS.
seaIer of Weights and Measures Says
Scales Incorrect

Lawrence, Kan.-Every third load
of produce bought or sold in Kansas
passes over incorrect scales and re-
sulting losses to the farmer mount
up into the million dollar column an
nually. That is the substance of re-
port to the legislature completed by
Edwin +. Simpson, assistant PROBES
sor of physics at the University of
Kansas, and deputy sealer of weights
and measures for the state.
"Of the 100 wagon scales inspected
by me personally this year SO were in
accurate" says Professor Simpson.
"a scale is considered correct if 1t
does not vary more than 10 pounds to
the ton from the true weight. OF
those L found faulty. nineteen were
lightweights, recording less than 1000
pounds for a ton of produce, and four
teen were in the heavy class. The
slow scales averaged 1875 pounds and
the fast ones 1924. For when scale
goes bad it usually is very bad.
zone Kansas city was found to be
buying coal for it's schools and munich
pal buildings over a city scale which
recorded 2O9l pounds to the ton. And
it had been doing this for five years
until we discovered the error last
month. Coal dealers and merchants
of the city who were using these off
ciap scales were losing five per cent
of their product"
The legislature will be asked to
make an appropriation for six inspect
ors at $1,000 year to work in con
junction with the board of health with
authority to put out of commission
any scale off more than 10 pounds ia
the ton.

The GRAIN DEALERS SHOULD COOPERATE

"The study of the agricultural his
tory of European and Asiatlc countries
will be a revelation to any thought
full man. Every country that has per-
sisted in being cropping country,
whether nation, state or province, has
shown decrease in prosperity as the
decrease in fertility became more APP
parent. China with its hundreds OF
millions of people subslsting for cen
turtles mainly on one crop and that a
soil robbing crop is but to be COM
pared to Denmark that maintains the
largest population per square mile in
Europe and with probably the great
est degree OF individual prosperity Of
any country in the world.
1--WE want your help in discouraging
the shipping out of corn and alfalfa
hay. The farmers should be urged to
feed that corn and hay to cattle and
other stock and then the wheat that
We grow should be shipped and milled
in Kansas mills in order that the by
product, bran and shorts, containing
a large proportion of the elements Of
fertility taken from the soil may be
shipped back to the farm at the least
possible expense, fed out to the stock
and ultimately returned to the land
whence it came.
Then, we want your cooperation
in our farmers meetings, farmers in
stitutes, we want you to attend and
we want you to urge farmers to at
tend, we want you to make such a
study of wheat growing and soil fer
tility as to become authority and
recognized by the farmers of your
neighborhood."
