CORN MAY |
Test at Agricultural College
Brought Best Results.
Produced Better Yield; Fewer
WOrms-Ripened Early.

Manhattan, Kan, April 16.-If
Kansas farmers will plant their corn
about May 1 the annual toll of four to
eight million dollars eXacted by corn
ear-worms may be reduced nearly so
per cent. A three year test recently
completed by the department of ento-
mology at the Kansas Agricultural
college shows that corn planted. the
first day of May suffered less damage
from worms than five other plots
planted at intervals of two weeks and
cultivated under similar conditions.
Not only that but the plot planted
Nav 1 yielded eighteen bushels more
to the acre than any other plot in the
test.
In the experiment six plots of corn
were planted on these dates: April
Is. May 1, May Is, June 1, June Is
and July 1. In every plot three rows
each of Boone County White, Kansas
Sunflower and Hildreth were planted.
In the case of the corn planted April
Is, "a per cent of the ears were in
jured by worms: that planted May l,
SIS per cent: May 1 5, 20 per cent; July
1, 100 per cent. The reduction in the
ear-worm injury in the May 1 planting
was due to the fact that the corn had
finished silking before the large third
brood of moths was out. The increase
in yield probably is due to the fact
that the corn was in silk before the
really hot weather came.

WILL COOPERATE.
Farmers VIII Work With College
Demonstrators.

Manhattan, Kan, April 16.-Eighty
farmers have agreed to cooperate
with district demonstration agents this
summer in conducting crop and Guilt
walton experiments. The demonstra-
ton agents who have brought about
this cooperation are comparatively
employed by the Kansas Agricultural
college, the United States department
of agriculture and the railroads, the
Rock Island in the case of Clyde Nc
Kee and the Santa Fe in the case of G..
f. Thompson. Each of these agents
has forty cooperating farmers and
many more are planning to handle
their land according to the agents
recommendations although the agents
will not be able to visit them more
than once or twice year.
Four demonstrations are planned:
Spring blowing and summer fallow for
wheat; spring listing and summer fall
low for wheat; early disking and list
ing to the intertilled crops, kafir, milo,
sweet sorghum or corn: early spring
listing followed by listing to kafir,
milo. sweet sorghum or corn.
The last two methods are by far the
most popular, showing that farmers
are beginning to have more faith in
forage and feed corps and live stock
than in wheat.

Low WAGE NOT CAUSE.
"Caste and Artificiality Make Immoral
Women Saws Bishop QuaYIe.


Women Says Bishop Quayle.
Pittsburg, Kan, April 16.-Bishop
William A. Quayle. who came to in
augurate a building enterprise for the
Methodist church here, does not be-
lieve that low wages bear any rela-
ton to the question of immortality in
women or that the Investigations of
the Illinois vice commission will result
in any good.
''It is tickling the skin when there
is a blood trouble said the bishop.
"It is marvellous to me how little in
vestigations of this kind accomplish.
The commission is not going into the
psychology of the question. Caste
among women is vital cause of i'm
morality among their sex. Too many
girls are working who should be at
home. 1t is the duty of every father
to support his daughter. The solution
of the morality question among wom-
en- is the determination to do away
with artificiality and lead the right
kind of a life

Better have the fires burn a couple
of minutes longer than to kill our
firemen and wreck our apparatus,
the mayor declared.

MEANINGS CHANGED BY TIME
Study Of Word Building Through Gem
turtles Brings Out Many Most
Interesting Points.

Word building is as much piece
of carpentry as is house building.
Only 1t takes longer. Sometimes a
century or more. And by that time
the words first meaning is usually
changed.
For example, the old word for
"neighbor" was "sib" Ones good
neighbor was known as ones good
sib." This became shortened to god
sib," and later to gossip" Then the
words whole meaning changed and
gossip no longer meant good neigh
Dor. but applied to the sort of talk
exchanged between good neighoors.
Take the word farmer" too. The
old word for farmer" was "boor.
land Door later was used for de-
scrihing fsrmer-like or rough per-
sons) The farmer living nearest 10
one was known as the 'nighbor," and
this phrase, in course OF tine. was
twisted to ''neighbor."
You've heard the proverb: Little
pitchers have big ears" Well. il
doesn't refer to the utensfl that holds
water or goes to the corner side door.
Pitcher was a slang term with some
such meaning as our word chap" or
fellow Thus, Little fellows have
big ears" 10 q more sensible rendering
OF the proverb.
