termination Tests at X. s. A. C..
DisprOve Former Assertions.
College Men Claim 50 Per Cent
of Seed SprOuted.
CONDITIONS MUST Be RIGHT
Outside Tests Not Made With
Proper Care.
Give Instructions to Farmer
for Investigations.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept 1.-KansaS
wheat is all right for seed. Germina-
ton tests just completed at the Kan
sas Agricultural college on Is or more
varieties of wheat samples grown at
Manhattan, at Hays, and at one or
two other sections in Kansas this year
showed that nearly 9S per cent of the
seed is good. Such termination, said
w. NJ Jardine. dean of agriculture,
could be considered almost perfect The
results of the test are contrary to a
number of reports from various parts
of the state to the effect that this
years wheat would not be fit for seed
because of poor terminating quality.
I believe that without doubt those
who have tested their wheat for ger
mination and found it weak or poor
might find an explanation in the fact
that the temperature was too high at
the time of making the test said
Dean Jardine- And unless they dis
infected the containers in which the
wheat was held, mold probably weak
ened the termination. l am confident
that good, wholesome wheat-wheat
that will weigh close to 60 pounds
will be found first class for planting
in this state if tested for termination
under normal conditions. The results
of our tests, together with what we
know concerning the conditions neces-
sary for terminating wheat properly
makes me believe that Kansas farm
ers are justified in planting well grad
ed seed of this last seasons crop.
Farmers should be careful about
making termination tests" Dean Jar
dine continued. A little formalin adj
ded to the water when the seeds are
placed between blotting paper for
testing, will prevent mold from form
ing. In our tests the use of this dis
infectant made a difference of nearly
% per cent in favor of better seed.
That is, when we used only water, only
rs per cent of the seed terminated,
while by the use of formalin mold was
prevented and SO per cent of the seed
Sprouted. The temperature should be
right, too From 75 to so degrees is
the most favorable. Temperatures of
100 to no which have prevailed in the
state in the last three weeks undoubt-
eddy were responsible for many poor
termination tests.
The best time to seed wheat. ac-
cording to a date of seeding test which
the experiment station has been con-
Quoting in many sections of the state
during the past five years, is between
Sept. 20 and Oct. 10. In the northern
and western parts of the state the ear
ly seeding. that is, the last two weeks
of September. have given best results
while as one goes southwark later
dates up to Oct. Is are best. Accord
ing to this information and our gen
eral observations, there is still plenty
of time left in which to plant wheat
under favorabI conditions. My advice
regarding the planting of wheat would
be to wait until the dates above men
toned before planting, unless rains
have recently occurred sufficiently to
enable the farmer to put his land into
good seed-bed condition."

BAKER AFTER ENDOWMENT.
VIII Try to Raise One-FOurth OF
100000 in One Year.

Baldwin, Kan, Sept. 11.-Baker
university has launched a campaign
for a 100000 additional endowment
for the Baldwin school 1t is the plan
of the school to raise this amount by
October l, 1914, and to do this an
extensive corps of workers will be in
the field this winter. Students and
former students of the school will aid
in the work.
One-fourth of this amount has al
ready been subscribed, being the gift
of the general education board of New
York. This organization has offered
Baker university $125,0OO on condition
that the trustees secure in substantial
pledges the additional sum of 1915, 900
and clear the institution of all in
debtedness by October 1, 1914.
Now Baker university is planning
to make the campaign for the other
threefourths of the endowment fund.
The people of Baldwin have sub
scribed $4,000, the ministers of the
old South Kansas conference gave
about $4,000 and $4,000 has been
raised from other sources

COMPETE WITH ROCKY FORD
Garden City People Will Begin Rails
ing CantaIOupeS.


Garden City, Kan, Sept. 11.-Some
day Garden City territory is destined
to be one of the best melon growing
districts of the country.
In the first place no where can bet
ter canta1OupeS be grown than here.
The soil is eXcellently adapted to their
raising and those who have eaten
home melons pronounce them second
to none.
There are just two things Garden
City needs to put it on the map as a
melon district. First, more melons
will have to be grown, and, second,
and largely affecting the first, a salts
factory market must be secured.
A start in melon raising was made
three years ago at Holcomb and the
product was excellent. However, the
movement was not as widespread as
the crop would justify.
The Industrial club is going to lend
what aid it can at once for furthering
the raising of cantaloupes.

or 5000 years ago, or possibly many
times that length of time, on what is
now Saline county soil, was unearthed

and at a depth of 40 feet the auger
brought up a piece of wood, which
was partly rotted. The we'll is on the
prairie, 90 rods from the creek, and it
is not known how the piece of wood
came there, unless it is a part of a
tree that grew on land now buried
deep by the deposits of scores of CEN

Prof. George N. Knight of the sci
ence department of the Wesleyan be-
lieves that it might have come there
in this manner, if there was no old
we'll in the vicinity to which it might
be traced.

CLEARS MURDER MYSTERY.
Negro at Council Grove Admits Killing
Mexican Near Hutchinson.

Hutchinson, Kan, Sept. Ill. D.
Dunno, a 20-year-old negro, known in
the south end here when he made
Hutchinson his home, as bad mig
GER" has confessed that he is the
slayer of a Mexican who was found
dead in an old shack on the Emmett
Hutton farm, east of the city, on De-
cember 10, 1911, and will be brought
to Hutchinson from Council Grove
where he made the confession, to
stand trial.
This clears up Hutchinson's only
murder mystery of the past two years.
On December 10, 1911, an unknown
man was found with is head beaten to
a pulp in an old shanty on the EN-
NETT Hutton farm. No one seemed
to know anything about the man, eX-
cept at the Kruger residence, near the
scene of the killing. 1t seems that
the murdered man and a companion,
who was said to be white, called at
the farm for food.

REFoRMAToRY MEAT SPOILED
Will Be Necessary to Bury Several
Carloads of Beef and Pork.

Hutchinson, Kan, Sept. f1.-On ac-
count of improper handling, when
first butchered, a large quantity of
beef and pork in the cold storage
plant of the state reformatory will
have to be thrown away, not being fit
for the inmates to eat.
Captain A. D. Smith, steward at the
reformatory, has discovered that there
is coating of mold on practically all
of the meat in the cold storage room.
This will all have to be buried.
Captain Smith explained that the
spelling was due to the improper
handling directly following the butch
ering- The beeves and porkers in
stead of being hung in a cool place,
where they could drip and where all
of the animal heat would be extract
ed, were taken from the wagon into
the cold storage room, which is below
freezing.
The meat froze with all of the heat
and blood in it, and when the tenn
perature in the cold storage room
went little above freezing it thawed
and the mold is the result.
One of the detail officers in the in
stitution said yesterday that he has
seen several loads of meat hauled
away to be buried within the past
three or four months.

SCOTT CITY TALKS UNION DEPOT.
Kansas Town Takes on Ambitions of
Larger Cities.

Scott City. Kan, Sept. 11.-Frank
s. Yantis of the c. K. & o. railroad
appeared before the city council and
asked for 20 feet off the north side
of First street for a passage through
the city going east. If the plan is
carried out the Colorado, Kansas &
Oklahoma road will build a new
sible. Mr. Orr of the Santa Fe was
also present and informed the council
that he expected to be ready in a
short time to ask for a similar con-
cession to the one Mr.. Yantis is seek
ing in order to let the Santa Fe
through the city without having to
cross other roads. 1t is possible these
new propositions may result in a
union passenger and express depot for
Scott City, which would be a great
convenience to the city and the travel
ing public.
