KANSAS TOPICS
Whitewater Has 23 slIos.

Whitewater, Kan.-Whitewater has
% silos within her trading territory.
This town is surrounded by rich farms
which are occupied by intelligent farm
ers. For many years feeding cattle
has been a principal occupation of
many of these farmers. In former
years these cattle were fed mainly on
corn and corn fodder OF recent years
alfalfa hay has displaced the fodder
and as it is one of the main crops
here, it still is extensively fed. But
the high price of alfalfa on the market
has made the farmer look for feed
elsewhere. The advent of the silo and
ensilage seemed to offer this feed and
utilize much that had heretofore been
wasted. That the farmer here was a
pioneer in adapting the silo Is evil
denced by the number in this vicin-
ity.

THE STATE BOARD OF ACR|CULT TURE
TO HOLD GREAT BUSINESS MEETING
SEEKS A GAME PRESERVE.
Prof. Dyche Has Hard Time Getting
Good Location.

hutchinson, Kan.-Prof l.. l..
Dyche. who is looking for a location
for a state game preserve, has SO far
not picked the land.
"A good many people seem to have
the impression that we are after mere
ly a quarter section or so of land"
said Prof. Dyche, who was in Hutchin-
son today. 81 am getting flood Of
letters from all over the state offer
ing me quarter section farms for this
purpose.
What Kansas should have for a
game preserve is a tract of land five
miles square. 1t need not be high
priced land. Rough land that is good
for nothing else, but which is broken
up with draws, clumps of brush, 'and
the like, and on which can be grown
spots Of grain to be used in feeding
wild birds-that is what we want. We
can find 25 square miles of waste
land somewhere that can be bought
cheap, and here can be established an
Ideal game preserve"
Inc state game warden is enthusi-
astic over the possibilities of such a
preserve. Here he would allow to
propagate themselves quail and other
wild birds.
Quail farms are failure" declared
Prof. Dyche. There is no use in Kan
sas trying to propagate quail like we
would chickens Or Othar fowl Con
necticut tried that, and it failed. But
what we want is to provide tract of
waste land where there will be cllmps
OF brush, and feed in the winter time,
and where the birds will be protected
from hunters. There they will propa-
gate themselves naturally and we will
preserve to the state the wild birds
which are now rapidly being extermi-
mated"

Dies Preventing Runaway.

MinneOla, Kan.-While attempting
to save two children, whose horse be-
came frightened at the auto in which
he was riding and whom he believed
in peril of their lives, Dean Kirk, 26
years old, was killed near here. AS
the buggy containing the two children
passed, Kirk, noticing a runaway i'm
minent, called to Jess Lannon, who
was driving the car to stop. Kirk
then jumped out to stop the horse,
but his knees gave way as he struck
the ground and he fell backward, strik-
ing the rear of the car. His relatives
live in Oklahoma. The body will be
taken there for burial.

100000 a Year For Sand,

Since | made my estimate upon the
value of the sand taken from the state
by the big sand and gravel companies
without pay have learned that it was
too low," said State Auditor w. E.
Davis, In his recommendation to the
legislature Mr.. Davis estimated that
the state could and should have reve-
nue. Of $4,000 a year from the sand
companies operating in the Arkansas
and Kaw rivers. He recommended
that they be charged per cent upon
their total sales, by the state. The
sand and gravel belongs to the state
and Mr. Davis thinks the state should
be getting some revenue out of it
be getting some revenue from it. He
said that from the information he had
received he believed per cent of the
total sand and gravel sales from these
two streams would bring the state
close to 100000 year.

Fought In Squatter War.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Mrs. Mary Ann
Robinson, one of the earliest pioneers
of this vicinity, died at her home here
Christmas day. Mrs. Robinson was
born in England 81 years ago. With
her husband she came to this country
in 1S47 and shortly afterwards settled
on Kickapoo Island, in the Missouri
river. Once proslavery men captured
her husband and were preparing to
hang him. Just as the moose was slip
ped over his head Mrs. Robinson COW
cred them with a shotgun and de-
manded that he be released. The
Robinson home on the island was
swept away in the flood of 1881, Mrs.
Robinson refusing to leave until the
water was at the doorsill.
