THE WEEK IN KANSAS
A RESUME OF INTERESTING oc-
CURRENCES FROM ALL
PARTS OF STATE.
SOLD ONLY POOREST CATTLE
Kansas Farmers Retained Their Breed
ing Herds in Spite of the Drought
Necessary to- Conserve
Feed Supply.

The Kansas farmers have held to
their breeding herds and sold only
the poorest of their cattle during the
last summer, when water was short
and the pastures were dead. F. D.
Coburn, secretary of the state board
of agriculture, sent out some time ago
to his correspondents throughout the
state, asking about the live stock con-
ditions, the feed supplies and the wat
er. The replies indicate that few
feed supply is unusually short. The
farmers must use extraordinary care
in conserving their feed for the win
ter. There is little or no surplus feed.
In western Kansas, where they go
deep for water, there is and has been
no water shortage, while in eastern
Kansas the stockmen have just found
that they must go deeper for a never
failing supply.
The shortage of feed because of
the diminished yields of corn and the
grain sorghums means that the num-
bers of stock cattle carried over and
animals fattened for the shamble will
be less than for years. said Mr.. Co
burn in his summary of feed and live
stock conditions. THE unfavorable
outlook through August caused no in
considerable selling of stock of near
ly all kinds

WILSON BROKE PRECEDENT
Washington Post to Deny
Newspaper Story.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son smashed one of the hoary tradi-
lions of the presidency when he wrote
a personal letter to Washington
newspaper denying a story. Not with
in the memory of the oldest inhabitant
has any President so far unbent him.
self. There is no mention in any his
tory of the presidency of such action
ever having been taken by a presi-
dent.
Mr.. Wilson, however, is fond OF
smashing such presidents, and it
would not be surprising If he had
been waiting for just such an oppor-
tunity as came when the Washington
Post said that the President was
attempting to prod Democratic
senators into quick action on the
Currency Bill and would class
as a rebel anybody who did not sup
port him This story brought a quick
and emphatic denial from the White
House.

their defense in the trial of his i'm
parchment.
According to D. Cady Herrick, chief
of his attorneys, Governor Sulzer de-

because he did not want to be placed
in the position of shielding himself

Pratt Club Backs Prof. Oyche.

The Commercial Club of Pratt is de.
Tending Professor Dyche, the state
fish and game warden, against the at
lacks of certain politicians in Kansas
In a resolution the club Endorsed the
work of the warden at the state
hatchery, where he is giving all his
time to making it a success. Pro
fesSor Dyche believes that in time fish
can be made the cheapest substitute
for meat in Kansas. The results OF
his endeavors are commended by the
resolution. The hatchery is conducted
along practical and scientific lines.
The hatchery was stocked with fish
last April and already nearly seventy
five carloads of fish are ready for dis
tribution over the state. The distri
button would have been made before
this, but the streams and ponds were
too nearly dried up last summer
That large production, the commercial
club believes, is a refutation of the
charges.
