The Center Of Grain Production.

The figures of the last census, when
compared with those of the previous
census reports back in 1850, indicate
that the movement of the production
of grain under natural conditions has
reached its western limit. Since 1850
the "median point" ~(center) of pro-
duction of the six great crops-corn.
wheat, oats, barley, rye. and buck
wheat-was about 20 miles west
southwest Of Burlington, Iowa; but its
western movement in the last ten
years was comparatively very small.
1t remains to be seen what effect the
great irrigation work now planned by
the government viii have upon the
location of the great grain fields of
the country.

Agricultural development needs in addition to the work of our public

In root growth alfalfa resembles red
clover, but sends down a stronger tap
root. When properly handled it pro-
duces three or four cuttings each
year and remains productive for many
years. Land which Is adapted to red
clover usually grows alfalfa when
any lack Of inoculation and Of lime Is
supplied.

speech will bring hundreds of Demo-
Gratis to Topeka for the occasion. In
order to handle the crowd the au-
ditorium has been engaged for the
evening and the galleries will be
opened to visitors. In former years
the banquets have been held in Ma
sonic Temple. When President Wilson
came to Topeka in 1912, it was prac-
tically impossible to handle the crowd
and a panic was narrowly averted
when someone turned in a fire alarm
in the course of the Wilson speech.
Another change to be made in the
1914 program is in the reduction of the
number of speeches. Formerly the
committee provided a place for r
speaker from each of the eight congress
sional districts and placed the guest of
honor last on the program. AS a con-
sequence many people left on late
night trains and missed the feature at
traction. Next year there will be but

and three Kansas Democrats. Names

The declaration of war by King
Charles of Roumania against Bull
garia brings a new central figure into
the great tragedy of the Balkans. His
consort is the famous poet-queen, who
has written under the name of Car
men Sylvia"
Her majesty was born December
29, 1843, was formerly known as
Princess Eliza beth of Wied and is the
daughter of the late Prince Hermann
of Wied and the Princess Maria of
Nassau. In November, 1869, she
married Prince Charles of Roumania,
second son of Prince Anthony of Ho-
henzollern. Amongst other works
she has published, Thoughts of a
Queen" Shadows of Life's DIAL"
and "A Real Queens Fairy-Book." A
daughter born in 1870 died four years
later.
King Charles object in declaring
war is territory he demands as a re-
ward for neutrality during the strug-
gle of the Balkan allies with Turkey.
The declaration of war came as
severe blow to Carmen Sylvia" a
lifelong advocate of peace. She
tainted when the king was first forced
into calling out troops by the stub
born demand of the premier and a
threatened revolt of the populace.

Washington, July 1s.-An average
reduction of 27.64 per cent under the
rates of the existing Payne-Aldrich
tariff law is proposed by the Demo-
cratic Underwood-Simm tariff bill
upon which the senate began general
debate today, according to the report
of the finance committee majority sub
mitted by the chairman, Senator F. M.
Simmons. The report also shows that
the bill as reported to the senate pro-
vides rates 4.22 per cent lower than
the Underwood bill as it passed the
house and that from it together with
other government receipts for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1914, there will be
an estimated surplus in the govern
ment treasury of $2,020,0 900.
A salient feature of this bill, it il
pointed out is the large increase of
imports to be admitted free of duty.
Under the house bill the value of free
listed imports, on the basis of 1912 i'm
portations, was $103, 900, 900 whereas the
Democrats of the senate in caucus by
sweeping changes, propose to free list
imports valued at $147. 1867 900, an in
crease in undutiable imports over the
house bill of S43, 367, 900.

INSISTS
But Anti-Bryan Resolution
Killed by Democrats.
Is Ruled, Out of Order, bat
Continues Talking.

Washington, July 1S.-By a party
vote the senate Democrats today sue
ceeded without debate in tabling SEN
ator Bristow's resolution aimed at Sec
lecture tour The resolution would
have called on President Wilson to ad
wise the senate what salary would be
sufficient to keep Mr., Bryan contin-
uously at his post, and was prompted
by the secretary's public announcement
that he was obliged to augment his pay
of $4,000 a year by lectures to meet
his living expenses.
Senators Poindexter and Borah
voted with the Democrats to table the
resolution. The vote was Al to 20. AS
Bristow faced the Democrat sena tors
and declared:
You may shut off debate in the
senate but you cannot convince the
American people that a secretary of
state may neglect the duties of his Of
flee for three months of a year.
Vice President Marshall ruled Senator
Bristow out of order.
Bristow Refuses to Be Shut Off.
1T would be lust as reasonable for
the attorney general to take three
months off a year to practice law"
shouted Senator Bristow. who refused
to be shut out. Il think there is a
condition before the country that
should demand the attention of con-
gress and the administration power"
Are you really apprehensive," inter
rupted senator Vardaman, a Democrat
that the business of the department will
sufter because Mr.. Bryan is occasionally
away?"
1T has been said since this discussion
began, replied Senator Bristow, that
the state department is better off with
the secretary away than with him here

Bryan had remained at his post the SEN
ate would have an answer to its resolu-
ton of April "a, asking for the amount
