STAY ON FARM INSTEAD
OF BACK TO THE FARM
Plans To Hold Them

Kansas is going to have a Back
to the Farm movement all its
own, led by Governor George H.
Hodges.
1t will be in reality "Stay on
the Farm movement las the gov
ernor believes that the generally ac-
cepted plan of getting people to re-
turn to the soil is wrong in princi-
pies, and he proposes to begin at
the other end and make it nicer to
live on the farms than in the cit
les, giving the farmers virtually all
of the advantages to be found in
the cities.
The back to the farm movement
is predicted on the theory that the
farmers are deserting and that
city people should go to the farms
and take their places" said the
governor, in discussing his plans.
Il believe the thing TO do is to keep
the farmers on the farm, let the
men who know farming keep at it
and provide them with everything
the city man has, and in addition
they have the independence Of their
own business.
"The reason the farmers are
leaving their farms to the tenants,
the worst thing that can happen to
a farm, is because Of their children
Nearly every farmer in Kansas
sees the benefits Of education, and
he is determined that his children
shall have the best there is. Under
the present system this cannot be
done, so he moves to town to edu-
cate his children.
WOULD CONSOLIDATE DISTRICTS.
During the last few months
ninety-six Kansas school districts
in the country districts voted $232,
900 for new school buildings, cost
ing an average Of $2400 each. There
ought to be law prohibiting this
in Kansas, and if we had good
roads generally over the state the
law would be easy Of enactment
"Kansas ought to prohibit the
building of anything but two to
four room school buildings, with an
auditorium or large recreation
room. Four to eight ordinary
school districts should be joined
into one and put up real school

Through the persistent efforts of
Horace 6. Knowles, of Whining
ton, United States minister to Bo-
livia, sturgeon is to be restored to
the American rivers, and, as tes-
timonial to Mr.. Knowles the Della
ware river is to be the first to be re-
stocked.
Since the great value Of the fish
is comparatively unknown to the
people of the nUited States, the i'm
portance of this announcement,
which comse from Washington, will
hardly be appreciated. Sturgeon,
particularly the Roumanian species
grows to enormous size. 1t is COM
mon thing for the fishermen on the
Danube river to catch sturgeon
weighing 600 to 900 pounds, and
occasionally a 170O-pound fish is
landed.
Sturgeon is the king Of food fish.
The flesh is very palatable and nu-
tritious, and the roe, which weighs
hundreds Of pounds, provides cav
lar. Where sturgeon is plentiful
meat prices are low. So the assur-
ance that the Delaware river IS
again to be the home Of the stur-
geon, and this time of larger va
riety than was once found in these
waters, is big news to economists
and those who rae devoting their
attention to scientific means OF re-
ducing the cost Of living.
In 1909 Mr.. Knowles returned
from Roumania, where he had rep
resented the United States govern
ment, with an offer Of the Rouman-
ian government to send all the
sturgeon eggs and fry needed to
restock the streams Of this country.
The generosity Of Roumania was
token of the esteem OF the authorl-
ties of that country for Mr.. Know
les and the United States. All that
was necessary was for the United
States government to transport
the eggs and fry to this country
and see that they were propagated.
The request was refused, however,
and lost sight of until the return
of Mr.. Knowles from Bolivia.
Recently Knowles returned from
Bolivia to tender his resignation to
the new national administration.
In conversation with Secretary of
State Bryan he referred to the
Roumanian sturgeon project. The
secretary took great interest IN II
and enlisted the cooperation OF
Secretary Redfield, Of the depart
ment of commerce.
DR.. Hugh M. Smith Of the Bu-
reau of Fisheries stated few days
ago that in recognition of Mr..
Knowles efforts that the Delaware

common to believe that the lower

house ri ght in the center Of the
consolidated districts, employ two
or three real school teachers and
pay them as good salaries as the
teachers get in the cities.
"Then have a man with a big
covered wagon haul the children
living a mile or more away, to and
from school. This can be done for
5 cents day per child and it will
promote regular attendance at all
times. The district should pay the
expense.
"There are thirty or forty Of
these consolidated districts in Kan
sas now and the school work is just
as high class as i'll the cities, and in
the five or six Of these districts |
have been in the farmers told me
their children got as good educa-
ton in the grades as any city child
and there was no talk Of moving to
the cities among these farmers.
PRAISES TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
1.-The township high school is
taking root in Kansas. There are
now about a dozen Of these, pro-
viding d complete high school
course, the equal in quantity and
quality of any city school. Their
graduates are accepted in any col
lege in Kansas and in some schools
in other states without entrance
examinations. No graduate Of one
Of these township high schools has
ever been conditioned in college.
There ought to be about 5000 con-
solidated graded schools in the
country districts Of Kansas and
about 1000 township high schools
where all the high school work is
regular thing. In addition, there
should be an elementary course
with practical experiments in agri-
culture, domestic science and art
and in manual training.
II am going to ask the next leg
islature to make it easier to build
better roads and better schoolhouses
and provide better teachers and
graded-school work and township
high schools with complete curricu-
lums. and that law will also provide
for the use Of the school building
for neighborhood gatherings at all
times, the state to pay the heating
and lighting bills.

Tragedy OF The Harvest

Now comes the time Of harvest.
The yellow fields of waving wheat
have already been shorn from the
breast of Mother Earth, and there
sounds across the fields the rhyth-
mic roar of the mower, bearing It'd
ings of a harvest, if not as bounti-
full as that of the latter year, at
least the assurance of a sufficiency.
We hear the driver upon his hay
strewn seat, now calling to his
sweating horses, and anon, lifting
his voice joyously to the heavens.
For this is happy period Of farm
life, the garnering in Of the re-
wards Of past labors, though it en-
tails long days of arduous toll.
But in the midst of this prosper
GUS season for man, what tragedy
the harvest is for the lower forms
of animal life. Though we drive
ever so carefully, scarce day
passes that we do not have an ami
NAL tragedy brought to our notice.
And who shall tell Of the thousands
OF unseen, unmarked tragedies
which lie beneath the heavy swath.
The mother rabbit which will not
leave her wee bunnies till the raw
enous steel teeth are upon her; the
scarcely fledged sparrow which
hops, perhaps fruitlessly from the
pathway: the song bird which re-

STURGEON FISHING ENCOURAGED
Through Efforts of Consul Knowles Streams Along Coast
to be Restocked-Through Courtesy, Government
Names Delaware to be First

would be the first stream to receive
this attention.
1t is in fact a process OF rehabil-
itation for there was time back in
the eighties when there was stur-
geon in the Delaware and other
American rivers. They were not
appreciated then as food fish and
fishermen made war on them be-
cause they destroyed the light nets
used for catching shad.
Then the appetite of the Ameri-
can epicure was whetted up to an
appreciation of caviar, and fisher
men hunted sturgeon the year
round for the roe, which brought
as high as ST pound. There were
no laws for the protection of stur-
geon, and nj a few years they were
exterminated. The cavair produc-
ton dropped from 100000
pounds in 1888 to 1900, 900 pounds
in the early nineties, and now there
is none at all.
The Delaware sturgeon weighed
$50 to $50 pounds, and the roe fire.
quently weighed as high as 100
pounds. The variety to be import
ed from the Black Sea streams are
twice to three times as large, and
it is believed that they will thrive
just as well in the Delaware as
they do nthe Danube.
While they multiply fast, pro-
lection must be given during the
spawning season. Those who are
familiar with conditions on the Del
aware river advocate government
control of the sturgeon fishery in
dustry. State regulation would
probably be inefficient in protecting
a fish so valuable as roe sturgeon,
which would yield $500 to $1,000
worth Of cavair, and flesh that
when cut into steaks should bring
10 cents pound.
1t is understood that an effort |
will be made to bring to this coun-
try three carloads of sturgeon eggs
and fry in the first shipment They
will be shipped in tanks under the
care of experts connected with the
United States bureau Of fisheries.
1t may not be necessary to obtain
an additional shipment, for with
careful propagation in the hatch
cries stock may be obtained for all
The important streams.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The principal reason that the president has decided not to recommend government owner ship of wires is found in an agreement reached by the American Telephone and Telegraph company, commonly called the telephone rrust,'' through it's vice-president, ". c. Kingsbury, and Attorney General McReynolds.
 Here are the terms of the agreement in brief: CD The company is to dis pose of it's holdings of stock in the Western Union Telegraph company; @ it is not to acquire control over any other telephone line m the future; (3) it is to allow independent telephone companies of the country the use of it's interstate wires.
 President Theodore N. Vail of the American Telephone and Telegraph company believes the new plan will work out successfully.
 The fight of Clarence Mackay, head of the Postal Telegraph company, brough tabout- the dissolution of the trust more than any other cause, it is stated here.
