Paste This In Your Hat

There is one section of the new
Kansas automobile law which is not
generally understood and it applies
to all vehicles and yet it has been un-
written law for several years. The
part that people forget most often
follows: Whenever any person 5rav-
cling with any vehicle or conveyance
on any road in this state shall over
take another vehicle OF conveyance
travelling in the same direction and
shall by sound or call indicate to the
driver thereof his or her desire to
pass, it shall be the duty of the driv-
er of the vehicle or conveyance in
front, if the nature of the ground or
the condition of the road will
permit it, to promptly turn
to- the left of the center of the road
and pass by without interfering or
interrupting and the driver of said
vehicle or conveyance passing shall
not return to the center of the road
until at least thirty 800 feet ahead of
the vehicle or conveyance passed. y

GREAT DANGER FROM FIRE.

The state Fire Marshal is remind
ing the people of Kansas that fires
are occurring daily from sparks CATCH
ing in trash piles, from children play
ing with matches and setting fire to
dry grass and vegetation, and from
smokers carelessly dropping matches
whose flame is not entirely extin-
guished. All of these fires could be
avoided and their occurrance can in
nearly every instance be charged to
careleSSneSS. Trash and rubbish
should be burned only when some one
is near with a supply of water to
stop any spread of the flames.
Many barn fires are occurring from
spontaneous combustion caused by
storing new hay. Openings in each
end of the hay loft will provide
ventilation that may prevent a fire.
If barrel of water were kept near
every barn, many of the fires could
be put out. A number of fires have
recently destroyed barns and live
stock in them because no water was
near TO check the fire at the start.

Vacation for the Farmer.

This is the open season for vaca-
tionS.s But there is one group of men
and women, the farmers, in which
there are thousands who donot know
what vacations looks like. They
never saw one, and they never, only
in their dreams, expect TO see one.
1t isn't because they can't afford a
vacation and it isn't because they do
not need one. In most cases it is
just because the farmer and his wife
have made themselves believe that
they 'can't get away -
Farming is as monotonous and ex-
acting work as any. There are longer
hours and these hours must be spent
heavy toll. And physical exertion is
not all, for the mind of the farmer
must be busy with the many prob
lens of various crops, various kinds
of live stock, the home and those
other interests which should, but too
often do not, demand attention from
the progressive farmer as a member
of his community.
Perhaps as good time as could be
chosen by the farmer for his vacation
would be in August, when the grow
ing crops are laid by, the harvesting
and threshing has been finished and
the hay is up. The hired man and
his family can take care of things
and go ahead with the regular work
of the field If there is no hand, one
may be hired for this purpose It
may be things will not be managed
and cared for just as efficiently as by
the owner, but the farm employee
can be depended on as well as the
man lower down in the business Office.

SEED wHEATIN coRNsrALK GrouND

Doubtless many farmers in this
western third of Kansas will expect
to seed some wheat this fall. They
perhaps will not seed so much as in
previous years, which is, no doubt, a
wise conclusion. On account of the
extremely dry season there has been
little opportunity to prepare the
ground early for wheat this fall.
Many fields of corn have been
devastated by grasshoppers this
season. These fields will be excellent
places to seed wheat this fall. Corn
has generally been we'll tended and
the fields are free from weeds. In
many of these there will be, doubt
less, some residual moisture present
and on account of the cultivation
given these fields the soil will be in
good seed-b bed condition and will re-
ceeive readily all the moisture that
falls There will be few stalks to
interfere with using the large grain
drill Feed will be high, and the ex-
pense of preparing the stubble
ground will consequently be high.
This expense will be saved by using
the corn ground for wheat, and it
will save the l.orses. Seeding corn
fields to wheat will give many an
opportunity to begin crop rotation,
but few giveit any attention Recent
results show that more wheat can be
produced by growing it in a rotation
than by any other method of fields
preparation and continuous cropping.
The grasshoppers can be more easily
and cheaply controlled in the fall
wheat than on any other crop, as has
been demonstrated by many farmers.
BY the use of the poisoned bran
mash, as recommended by Agricul-
tural College, around the edges of
the wheat fields when the young
plants are beginning to come up, the
hoppers can be controlled at very
light expense

He bought a bunch of thoroughbred
Hoistein cows and converted the
meadow into pasture Instead of at
cream, he used separator. The
cream brought more than the butter
would have done, and there was less
work connected with it.
When it came to selecting seed of
all kinds for planting, he realized
the practical benefits of his college
work He observed the haphazard
method in which his neighbors select
ed their seed corn, and marveled that
they could expect good stand or a
bountiful yield
Jonas combined scientific methods,
common sence and hard work. He
planted his crops at the right time
and in the right way He cultivated
them faithfully and intelligently,
and the results at harvest time justi-
fed his faith and his works.
He planted the wornout portions of
the farm to legumes, trying several
varieties of cowpeas the first year.
When he laid the corn by he planted
the entire area to Whipporwill cow
peas, sowing them broadcast over the
field before cultivating
His iSgreateSt triumph, however, was
the siIo he built; with the advice and
assistance of an expertifrem the agrt-
cultural college. The silo preserves

green forage and is the greatest milk

single month was greater than "a
years net profit under the old system
of farming.
Results, and results only, count.
And Jonas got results that brought
the smile of pride to the face of old
Hiram Good. Jonas paid off the
mortgage in instaliments of $500. It
was three years before the last dollar
had been paid, and the old homestead
was once more wholly their own.
There were still few outstanding
debts, but men were now more than
pleased to accommodate Hiram Good
& Son in money matters.
The farm was we'll stocked with
blooded horses and cattle; the soil
was approaching it's original fertility.
1t was pleasant day in early June,
four years after Jonas graduation,
when he spoke to his father about a
cottage he intended to bniId on the
other SO. He was a little red and ex-
cited as he broached the subject.
"Can she COOKE" asked the old man
with a grin.

MARKET REPORT

Is 2nSaS S1GT StOck aroS, August
,41eL3 Estimates on cattle supplies
for this week were all too high, re-
ceipts yesterday amounting to but
$1,000 head, and the same number
here today. Buyers FROM. Missouri
Illinois, Iowa and other sections
that have corn prospects turned out
in large numbers yesterday and to-
day to meet the expected heavy run
of dry weather cattle. But stockmen
in the dry belt found they were not
in desperate straits and were able to
respond to strong pressure from
bankers and commission men to hold
back cattle this week il possible, and
thus prevent a sacrifice. The two day
run of 10000 cattle does not contain
more than one half enough stock
cattle and feeders to go around "a
mong the country buyers. The big
country demand indicates plenty of
feed over wide territory, and points
to a continuance of the beef making
business on a liberal scale in those
sections. Missouri, largely the north
half of the state, bought 1000 cattle
here last week, Iowa 5000, Illinois
5000. Kansas is dry, but still took
out 1000 cattle from here last week,
scattering states 5000, total to coun-
try points $4,000 cattle. 1t was more
than half the supply for the week.
The big demand from the country
helps prices on all grades, and the
market today is strong to 10 higher,
and shade above the level of before
the break last week on all kinds.
Prime heavy steers brought So so to-
day, mixed yearlings $500, fed steers
ranging from 81. 65 to $500, Kansas
grass steers So so to $8. %, quarantine
grass steers S5. 25 TO s6. 75, native cows
81. so to S6.25, veal calves up to $500,
stock steers S5.25 to $40, feeders
S5. rs to SITS.
Hog quality is deteriorating at a
rate that is causing some concern to
killers. Good hogs have not changed
much in value for a week, but com
mons stuff, of which there is an in
creasing supply, is half a dollar lower.
Range of prices todav is widest of the
season, bulk of sales running from

more necessary that the farmer and
his family get change and rest.
They see little of other people they
live to themselves more than other
persons. The vacation will give the
communion, relaxation and recrea-
tion which they as participants in
the tension of American life need.
The farmer can go to the mount
aims or to the seashore or to the lakes
as cheaply as can anyone else. The
expense is really an investment in
new interests and rested and more
energetic mind and body which will
enable him to produce greater profits.
While the trip will not be one of
study, yet the farmer will without
effort get new ideas as he passes
through other fields to places where
he should meet other men that deal
with the same problems as his own.
And meeting with men and things
which are unusual to him on the
farm will have the same desirable
effect as it does on the business man
from the city.
Too many farmers who are locking
forward to any sort of a cessation
from farm life, plan to stay close at
work until they accumulate enough
to enable them to move TO town.
Rather than taking the short annual
vacation, they look forward to TAX
ing their rest all in one period. Too
often this proves a failure for the
farmer, adapted to the life and in
terests of the country, feels the call
of the soil and the crops and herds.
The farmer, like other business
men, must learn to see profit in pleas
ure as well as in labor. While every
body's goin' fishin' let him with
his wife and his boys and girls pack
up and go, too.-Kansas City Star.
