Acreage Cond. Cond

In those places in Kansas this
year where the best farming meth
DDS have been practiced the crops
ARE decidedly better than when slip
Bhod methods have been used, ac-
COrding to Secretary Coburn.
There is a wide divergence in con-
ditions. not only in different sections
OF the state but in different parts
of the same counties, to be account
ed for only in the fact that some
used up to date methods in tilling
their lands. while others did not.
The average condition Of the win
ter wheat is shown to be 62.S7 per
cent as compared with 1876 per cent
in 1912; 76 per cent in 1910; 1913
In 1909, and 1928 in 1908. About
% per cent of the crop has been
damaged so badly that 1t has been
plowed up or abandoned.
Two causes for deterioration of
26.71 per cent since the April re-
port was issued, are ascribed The
first was damage by lack OF rain
fall, especially in the western part
of the state. when wheat was head
ing or about to head. The other
was a damage by chinch bugs, for
the most part in the eastern part of
the state about the same time.
The most severe damage was
west Of the ninty-ninth meridian |
where nearly 40 per cent OF the
wheat OF the entire state Is sowns
II Is estimated that only 1850, 900
acres there will be harvested, and
the average condition Is 4S.4 per
cent.
Reports indicate that somewhat
1ess corn was plsnted this year than
last when the acreage was 1884,
ga. The average condition is shown
90 be s6.6 per cent. Planting was
1ate and the growth has been back
wArd.
Figures from a. counties show q
similar acreage in oats as last year.
ne average condition IL 4s.S, or
3s.l per cent below the same time
Iast year. In some western coun-
Hes no oats will be harvested. An
decreased acreage in alfalfa Is
shOwn, although the state already
b far ahead OF other states.

SANGER EXPLAINS
WHAT HE STANDS FOR
lie Believes That Permanent I'M
proVements Made Now Will Re-
suit in Lasting Benefits to
the City
To The Public:

To The Public:
There has been considerable agi-
tation of late relative to paving,
parking and otherwise improving
certain residence streets on College
hill and there has been some criti-
cism of my stand on the improve
ment questions of the day and for in
sisting on a bigger, better Pullman.
For the three years that | have been
on the council l have at all times
stood for modern and up-to-date
city and l answer those who say |
have stood for too lavish expendi-
lures of money by saying that the
present council is not to blame for
the errors of commission or commits
sion of our predecessors for the last
two score years or more. We were
not to blame because our streets
were muddy and impossible in the
winter and dusty and disagreeable in
the summer. We were not to blame
because the old-fashioned wooden
sidewalks were menace to life and
limb and an eyesore to our citizens
as well as to strangers. We were
not to blame because our antiquated
street electric light system failed to
give adequate light for prosperous
and rapidly growing city, and lastly,
we were not to blame because our
pump failed to supply us with the
nature has placed at our very door,
but which cost us too much to obtain
because of our community outgrow-
ing the capacity of our pump, there
by necessitating the new pumping
plant which will be self supporting
and give us plenty of water at less
cost than ever before.
1t is true that it has taken con-
siderable expenditure of money to
remedy these existing necessities, but
in my humble judgment it has been
worth it, and | am sure that any citi-
zen who will acquaint himself with
the true facts of the situation will
agree with me that our expenditures
have been justifiable.
1t is not pleasant position to be
a councilman at this time and de-
Il
means more taxes, and at first blush
it usually makes a man howl when
you hit his pocketbook in the way
of taxes and he fails to look farther
to ascertain the ultimate results. On
the other hand it is the easiest thing
in the world to lay back on your oars
and take things easy-and watch the
city go backward. 1t is much easier

ior us to shirk our duty and to pro-
neutrality-suspicious. being the
mel OIL time, 1t means lot of
nara work and grief for us to push
onward as We have and insist on a
D19GEK, BETTER PULLMAN, be-
1ouse we are temporarily on the side
". ~ the minority. But my observa-
.'0u nas been that it is, in the ma
Jorlty OF cases, not the widows and
orphans, the motherless and father
ieSs' VINO have objected to improve
ilents' but it has been the man in
moderate and comfortable circum-
S'ahces' and in a great many in
stances 1t has been persons owning.
III addition to their city homes, val
uaole farm property ranging from
LOU 10 1000 acres of good old Pa
louse land, that have hollered long
est and loudest in this matter. While
1t Is true that improvements hit
some people hard, yet it is an old
saying that if you wait until the
poorest in the district are financially
able to improve, you must wait in
vain and forever.
In conclusion | desire to say that
several people in the Maiden Lane
district have said that they would
IKE to pave their streets, but that
they preferred to put it off for an
other year, when they would be in
a better position to meet their
assessments, and in answer to this
l will say that the work can not pos
sibly be done until 1914, and the
first payment under the 10-year in
stallment plan (Which is the way
practically everyone will make their
payments) would make their first
payment due in 1915. THINK OF

sides, you can never get as good a
bid as now, because If the present
plant should leave the town any dis
triet subsequently formed would be
compelled to pay the expensive In
itial cost all over again of bringing
a paving plant to Pullman.
Even with all the improvements
we have made in 1912 and 1918,
our tax levy for next year has been
raised but little and in 1916 the tax
levy will drop again, because these
improvements are permanent An
other year and our troubles will be
over for the next quarter of CEN
fury, and | feel sure that after the
people have once tasted the fruits of
our present endeavors they will be
satisfied and the "cusses" that now
come from the few will melt into
kindly words of gratitude.
may have been wrong in the
stand l have taken on general pub
lie affairs, but | have at ali times
(and so have our honorable mayor
and the other members of the city
council) acted in good faith and
with an honest and conscientious de-
sire to subserve the best interests of
our city. | have the courage of my
convictions in this matter and have
no apologies to offer Ii is solely a
matter of viewpoint in favoring or
opposing improvements.
Yours, for a better Pullman,
f. e. SANGER.
