Emporia, Kan, March 1.-THE pro-
gram for the annual spring convention

ed Domestic Science as Servant.
Ottawa, Kans., March Ito leave
college after obtaining an A. B. degree
and enter a private family as domes-
tic servant in order to learn how to
manage a household is hardly what a
college girl would be expected to do.
but this is what Miss Flora Dring, a
graduate of the class of 1912 of Otta-
wa University, who was married to
Glenn Brown, a K. U. engineer, last
week, did.
While in Ottawa University Miss
Dring was one of the most popular
girls in school, and it was there that
the romance which eliminated last
week, began. However, her university
education did not fit her to do the
tasks she deemed most important
for the lady of the house, and it was
not until after the marriage that the
resourceful way in which she ac-
quired her domestic science was
learned.

PORTER SEES MISTAKE.
Crawford County Senator Talks on
legislative Matters.

Pittsburg, Kan, March 1.-THE fail
ure to pass the registration bill requir-
ing that all mortgages be registered at
a nominal fee is the most serious mis-
take the present legislature made in the
opinion of Senator E. F. Porter.
1.-The registration of all mortgages at
a nominal fee which would mean the
exemption of mortgages and money
from taxation would have brought into
the state millions of outside capital for
investment in Kansas securities" said
Senator Porter.
This would have enabled Kansas in
vestors to put their money in Kansas
securities and in so doing would have
brought about competition l. the inter-
state rates on short and long time
money!

that they must be marketed within a
few days after they az shipped
causes enormous fluctuations in
prices.
Some years shippers make very
large sums Of money, other years
they lose money where there Is no or.

should be remembered also that while
in some cases enormous profits are
made from fruits, the average man
does not find intensive fruit culture

SOWING or NJ CLOVER
Found From Experience That Early
Work VIII Be Of Advantage
TurnIp Gives Shade.

There Is no doubt that with level
and shallow cultivation, the working
of hoed crops, like corn and cotton,
can be kept up to advantage much
later than is usually done. This is
desirable when crimson clover is to
be sown, so that the soil may be fresh
and the seed germiIate better. I hare
become convinced, from many evil
dences I have seer and from my own
tests, writes w. F. Massey in the Pro-
gressive Farmer, that earlier sowing
of crimson clover seed will be Of ad-
vantage. In the south September is
apt to be a very dry month, and 1t is
far better to take some risk Of the
early sowing rather than wait till
September, for II the August sowing
succeeds you will have a far better
fall growth than from later sowing.
In Maryland the best crop ! have
seen of later years was sown In July.
and | have no doubt that in certain
seasons the July sowing might do in
North Carolina, especially In the
mountain section and in the noun
tain regions generally Of the south.
Last fall there was general success
from the September sowing of clover
because there had been a long. dry
summer and the rains came later
than usual.
I sowed some turnip seed along
with the crimson clover last fall and
found 1t a very good plan. for the tur-
nip seed terminated quickly and gave
the needed shade for the young clo-
yer. and the turnips came In as a
catch crop with little cost.
