DEMONSTRATION AGENTS FIND LITTLE
OPPOSITION TO THEIR WORK IN KANSAS

IA ISTRICT Demonstration Agents
for western Kansas are CO.
Operatively employed by the
Kansas Agricultural College, the L. S.
Department of Agriculture, and the
railroads, the Rock Island cooperating
in the case of Clyde Mckee and the
Santa Fe in the case of George
Thompson. These agents have been
cordially received in the territory to
which they have been assigned and
there is little or no opposition to the
work. Indifference is noticed only
here and there and the great majority
of farmers and business men are glad
to have their services in western Kan
sas and are willing to cooperate in
every way, both in offering farms for
demonstration work and in supplying
funds for local expenses. Each man
has about forty co-operators already
selected (the desired number) who
will undertake definite demonstra-
ton work in soil and crop manage
ment and many more are planning TO
handle their land according to his
recommendations even though he will
not have time to visit them more than
once or twice a year.
Four fundamental demonstrations
are planned, namely:
1. Spring blowing and summer fal-
low for wheat.
2. Spring listing and summer fall
low for wheat.
3. Early discing and listing to the
inter-tilIed crops, kafir, milo, sweet
sorghum or corn.
4. Early spring listing followed by
listing to kaf1r, milo, sweet sorghum
or corn.
The two latter demonstrations are
by far the most popular, showing that
the farmers are beginning to have
more faith in forage and feed crops
and live stock than in wheat Each
man is urged to leave a check plat to
be handled according to the usual
practices in the extensive agriculture
of western Kansas; but, in many
cases, the cO-operator does not want
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1913-05-24

to leave this check plat, knowing that
the methods recommended by the
demonstration men are preferable and
believing that it would be a distinct
loss to farm according to the ordinary
methods.
In addition to this definite line of
work. the demonstration men are
urging improved live stock both for
beef and GARY purposes and are rec
ommending the purchase and use Of
pure bred sires both of the beef and
dairy type, to breed up and increase

Canal Reuan centuries 400

Four centuries elapsed between the
Panama canals first conception and
its completion but this by no means
constitutes a record in the annals of
canal construction. The completion
in 1893 OF the canal across the Isthmus
of Corinth was the finish of a scheme
for which the first survey was made
in the year 600 3. c., when Perian-
der employed Egyptian engineers to
carry out the work. Nero actually COM
menced work along the site Of the
present canal, but at his death it was
abandoned, and the project was not
revived until 1882, and this though
the total length of the canal is under
four miles.

districts. Then they are studying the
problem of soil blowing and giving all
available information concerning the
prevention of blowing by means Of
listing, more rough culture and less
pulverizing of the soil and by spread
ing straw and manure as surface
dressing on the land. The agents re-
port that the people of western Kan
sas, with only a few exceptions, are
courageous, hopeful and enthusiastic
and that it is a pleasure to work with
them.

Autocrstic EnoIishmen.

One of the reasons why English is
expected to become a world wide Ian
guage is that English people refuse to
learn another. For instance. at Mus
cat, at the entrance to the Persian
gulf, there lived for many years an
Englishman, supposed to be the only,
or almost the only, British resident on
the 1900 miles of Arabian coast line
from Alden to Koweit- It would seem
that he could hardly have escaped
knowing Arabic. Yet he confessed
that he could not speak a dozen words
OF that language. But how do you
carry on your trade2" some one asked
oh" he replied, the beggars have
got to learn English"
