Kansas Has Fine China clays7

Kansas may become the rival of
Ohio and Pennsylvania in the produc-
ton and manufacture of fine china
ware The Wichita Commercial club
has sent specimens of some of the
clays of Sedgwick county to Prof.
Erasmus Haworth, director of the
state geological survey, for an analysis
to determine the commercial value of
the product The Wichita club be-
lieves that the clays, when properly
worked out, will produce a high
grade of china similar to the Haviland
ware. Professor Haworth has en-
ployed Paul Teetor of Pittsburgh, Pa,
an expert in ceramic, to assist in the
test of the clays. Teetor is a gradu-
ate of the University of Illinois and a
pupil under Doctor Bleininger, the
most widely known authority on clays
in the United States.

care Of ImplemenYs Pays.

The benefit to the farmers in TAX
ing care of their farm machinery was
demonstrated in Saline county day
or two ago at a sale on the o. Sand
berg farm when much of the ma
chinery he had used for years sold
for almost as much as it cost when
new. One wheat drill he had used
for fourteen years sold for S41.50.
The same drill new would now cost
about $50. Every piece of machinery
on the Sandberg farm had been given
the best of care and every implement
sold equally as well as the drill In
Kansas many of the farmers leave
their implements in the field where
they used them last. They remain
there until they want to use them
again, possibly the next year.
