urued to Grow More Cattle.

Southwestern Kansas farmers who
nearly kill themselves in summer car
ing for wheat crop and then have
little or nothing to do the remainder
of the year are engaged in a wrong
system of farming. Plant fewer acres
to wheat, raise more live stock and
grow more drought-resisting kafir,
milo and feterita-
This is the gospel preached on the
Santa Fe silo special and if several
thousand farmers in Southwest Kan
sas are not converted to that system
of farming the special operated by the
Kansas Agricultural College and San
ia Fe railroad will have been run in
vain. That is the doctrine expounded
on this train, and the lecturers told in
plain words what ails farming in
Southwest Kansas
. Were not here to discourage wheat
growing" said H. NJ. Banner, agricul-
tural demonstration for the Santa Fe,
to crowd at Hutchinson, but we
want to encourage you to grow other
crops and live stock with it. Grow
truck, raise some sorghum crops for
silage, and by rotating crops and
manuring you can get just as much
wheat on fewer acres, besides having
a dependable income from live stock
in bad wheat years You've got to
come to that sooner or later, for it is
the only permanent system of agri-
culture for this region. So, in the
words of the revival leader, Why not

THE WEEK IN KANSAS
A RESUME OF INTERESTING oc-
cuRRENcES FROM ALL
PARTS OF STATE.
ADIEU TO DISTRICT SCHOOL
State Teachers Association Goes on
Record in Favor of the County
Unit System-Want Rural
Schools Standardized.

Topeka--The Kansas school teach
-ers have demanded of the Kansas
| legislature complete change in the
Kansas school system. 1t is proposed
that the teachers enter into an active
campaign at once to see that the next
legislature carries out the plans which
the teachers believe will make the
Kansas schools more efficient and
offer more equal opportunities to
every boy and girl in the state. The
biggest school meeting ever held in
Kansas was enthusiastic for the i'm
proyements.
The important changes asked for by
the teachers ia these school systems
are:
That the county be the unit of
school organization and administration
instead of having so many districts
Independent of each other.
That departments and schools of ag-
riculture be established in every
school in the state in order to ere
ate among the youth of the state
greater love for farm life.
That the rural schools be standard
lied and an examiner of rural schools
under the direction of the state board
of education should devote his en-
rural schools.
That county normal Institutes be
changed so that less emphasis be
placed upon academic work and more
upon professional subjects of teach
ing.
That physical training work in all
the schools be encouraged.
That free high school tuition be
provided for all Kansas students
That state uniformity in high school
textbooks be abandoned, that supple
mentary text books be allowed in
the grades, that free texts be fur
nished the school children.
That rural schools be consolidated
wherever possible.
That the course of study in the
rural schools be concentrated to elm
mate unnecessary classes and give
the teachers more chance to instruct.

A report Just issued by Registrar
George o. Foster shows that the eX-

student varies from as low as S1S6 up
to $3.50, depending upon the courses
pursued and the tastes and habits of
the student.
The average price of board, rooms,
light and fuel may be placed at from
"a to 81 week., says the report.
Day board in private families and at
restaurants may be obtained for $3.50
to SIS week Day board in clubs va
ries from $3.50 to 81 a week Fur
nished rooms usually occupied by two
students range from 81 to SIS a month.
