PIT SuLOS.

A large number of farmers in west
ern Kansas are digging pit silos. The
work has been put off until the last
minute, and some are putting the
crop in whole, partly because it is
difficult to get a silage cutter on
short notice and partly because of
the expense of cutter. While it is
better to silo the crops whole than
not at all, the best results cannot be
expected.
A few cases have come to our notice
where this method has been followed
with good results, but there is a
greater chance for silage to spoil on
account of the difficulty of getting
the material packed sufficiently to ex-
Guide the air. Much better results
will be obtained if the fodder is run
through a cutter and chopped up in
to pieces from half an inch to an
inch in length. In this form the
silage can be packed uniformly and
the air more nearly excluded.
The corn should be allowed to ma
ture as much as is possible, even un-
til most of the leaves become dry,
rather than to put immature materi-
al into the siIo.

NOT CALAMITY KANSAS.

what's the matter, anyway what's
going wrong in Kansas? Is the good
old state going back to her childhood
and will the Back East folks be given
the rare opportunity again of pointing
the finger of derision at Kansas and
saying: 'Look at the same old rendez-
vous of the hot winds, the chinch
bugs, the grasshoppers and the other
ills of the direful old>staee of the Pop
ulist and the jackrabbit2
The chinch bugs have been doing
their worst in the past few months
to put Kansas back in the danger col
umn.
Not content with entertaining the
chinch bugs, Kansas is also making a
great effort to stage general carousal
this yearof the grasshopper, the hot
winds, the drought and the locust.
But don't worry old Kansan. Your
old state may be showing most of the
signs of the old time calamity howl
ing period, but if she is, then she is
getting ready for another period of
reputation making. Kansas never
made SO much of reputation in her
existence as in the days of calamity.
The state has fondness for getting
into hard luck and then, after the
rest of the world is putting in it's
time pityirg her, turning around and
surprising the universe with her
prosperity.
1t is the way Kansas has to make
her children love her. She may have
few symptoms of despair this year
there have been better prospects than
there are right now, but the good old
state is still on deck and putting up
winning fight So don't be alarmed
at the condition of Kansas-not, at
least, unless that other fatal sign

Sued for $4,000. 90 Damages.

The editor of the Daily Blade at
Concordia and Undersheriff Frances
Swafford have been sued for 1000
damages by Henry Diers, of Russell
county, Kansas. The Blade of July
23rd contained a story of hunt for
the man who was supposed to have
set fire to a big stock barn near
Luray. Undersherrif Swafford took
the Moore bloodhounds to the scene
of the fire and the dogs, according to
the Blades story, followed partly
visible trail to the home of Diers-
The article also stated that Diers
had had trouble with the man whose
barn was burned, that he was the on
ly man for miles around who failed
to show up at the fire and that all
who saw the work of the dogs were
convinced that the right party had
been found. Diers states that the
article as published in the Blade and
as told by Mr. Swafford does him sl0,-

Absolutely Necessary.

From the Argonaut-
1t was Sunday, and two small boys
were industiously digging in a vacant
lot, when man who was passing
stopped to give them a lecture.
Don't you know that it is a sin to-
dig on Sunday unless it be case of
necessity?" asked the good man.
Eyes, sir,'' timidly replied one of
the boys.
''Then why don't you stop it?''
Cause this is case of necessity

This is the season of the year when
most people feel like taking a vaca-
tion-a visit or a trip TO the mount
aims. They feel the call of the cool
summer resorts, the trout streams,
the shady glens, and in imagination
they hear the lapsing of gentle waves
on sandy beaches or the sloping
shores of silvery sylvan lakes But
there are few. who. can leave their
work and not many can afford the
luxury of a summer vacation. For
these, week of Chautauqua takes
the place of an outing, and although
they may have to "dig up fifteen to
thirty dollars each for a week of
recreation, it is much cheaper and
probably more restful than tiresome
travel. Moreover, those who ''dig up'
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they have made possible, and placed
within the reach of all, whole week
of amusement, entertainment and in
Struction which 80 out of every
hundred people could not get in any
other way. The Chautauqua is worth
while, regardless of profit, just the
same as schools, churches and
libraries.
