KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE
THE LEVER EXTENSION BILL

THE LEV Err EXTENSION BILL
On May 8 President Wilson signed
the third great agricultural measure
in the history of this country. In

cultural colleges, in 1887 the Hatch
act established agricultural expert
ment stations and in 1914 the Lever
bill appropriates a large sum of
money for taking agricultural
knowledge, the results of scientific
experiments to the people. The bill
provides that the money shall be used
in field demonstrations in agriculture
and in the teaching of home
economics to those not resident at
the Agricultural College. The FEEDER
al appropriation for each state the
first year is to be $4,000 aud the
Kansas Agricultural College will use
S3, 200 for two district demonstration
agents, one for southeastern Kansas
and the other for northwestern Kan
sas and 81 900 for the four county
agents of Lyon. Miami, Linn and
Jewell counties. The 81, 800 for Home
Economics will be used for salaries
of two women for movable schools in
home economics the work TO continue
throughout the year and for three
others for movable school work for
the spring months. For the second
year, if the legislature assentS to the
provisions of the bill, Kansas will re
ceiye another $40, 900 and an addition
al appropriation of S14, $50 and foI
the next seven years an annual ap.
preparation of S12, 300 in addition to

his father harvest big wheat crop.
Miss Lillian Cross, one of Trego's

advanced work at the Normal and no
longer needs to prepare for examina-

sends her dollar TO swell our numbers
and help US out. She writes she is
busy helping home folks. this harvest

Begin on the Grasshoppers Now

In the past two weeks the graSshop-
pers have begun to show up in con-
siderable numbers and may be plenti-
full enough to do considerable damage
later in the season. Don't wait until
damage is being done before you be-
gin to use the poison on them. The
hopperS are mostly confined now to
the fence rows and road ways and is
a splendid time TO get in good work
with the poison before they become
scattered over the cultivated fields.
They should especially be attended to
around the alfalfa fields as that is
damage will be done.
In case some may have forgotten
the formula that was used SO effect
lively last year l will give it here:
Bran, 20 pounds; paris green or white
arsenic, l pound; syrup, , quarts;
oranges or lemons, 3; water IL gal
Ions.
The numerous cutworm moths
that have been disturbing everyone
for the past two weeks may result in
bad infeStation of cutworms next
season unless their natural parasites
destroy large numbers this season.
The worms will show up this fall If
they will be with US next season and
it would be we'll to be on the lookout
for them. It cannot be determiped
yet whether these worms will be
plentiful this fall or not. This is to
answer a number of inquiries that
have come to me regarding these
moths.

CLEAR CUT STATEMENT
Arthur Capper Outlines His Position
On State Matters At Republican
Banquet in Salina


At the Republican Banquet given
at Salina last Saturday evening, Ar
thur Capper, candidate for governor,
made an address in which he outlined
his position on State matters SO
clearly that it would seem hard to
understand why all fair minded cltl-
zens would hesitate TO support him
for the office Of governor of our great
state. Mr.. Capper said.
II wish at the beginning of this
talk to make perfectly clear to you
nv position as a KanSan and Re-
publican, l have been Republican
all my life and expect to remain a
Republican, and let me say, too,
that l believe every Republican
should stand up for what he thinks
in his own heart is right. 1t seems
TO be that is one of the tennis of the
republican party, the highest type of
epublicanism, the highest form OF
party regularity.
II allow no man to do my thinking
for me, and though my viewpoint
and conclusions may differ from
yours, hope you accord me, las
gladly accord to every man and wo-
man in this audience who differ from
mel credit for the utmost sincerity OF
purpose and a genuine desire to do
what is right and best for my state
and my country and my party
II am Republican because l be-
iieve that party in this state stands
for clean politics and honest govern
menr; that it is the champion of hu
man rights; and that it has been ane
will continue to be d power in the
creation and crystalization ofSthe pro
gressive sentiment of thesenCire coun
try.
Il am a Republican because L know
that the rank and file of the party il
this state and in the nation still
stands for those principles of justic'
and good government to which hav'
given my lifelong support, as citi
zen and a newspaper man.
Taught from infancy that IN.

1t seems that the new certificate

available material. Complaints are
coming in from all sides of meager at
tendance many attending sum

schools.
The teachers had the privilege of

Miss Emily Dite was absent several
days attending her sisters wedding
in Glencoe.
Many of the students are busy
making up time for the two picnics
and the Ben Greet's plays.
Just to see Ben Greet play his
part was worth many times the ad-
mission price" is the verdict of all of
those who enjoy Shakespeare. May
we have the opportunity to hear
them as well as to see them next
time.
\ Miss Stradal has at last succeeded
in her efforts to find good lantern
for her school work. The Normal
school has proven the Bausch &
Lomb Baloptican the most practical
and the most inexpensive model for
common school purposes. Miss Stra-
dal has purchased one of these
lanterns and is making arrangements
for her teachers to use the lantern
over the county for instruction and
entertainment next winter. The
slides used will pertaa to hygiene,

which is worthy the consecrated eff

accord a square deal of his neighbor

Friends, there is one thought
which is appealing with constantly
increasing force to men and women
all over America 1t is that we have
got to bring government closer TO
the people; that we must end mis-
rule; that we must stop making
government a piayth politicians
and bosses, but rather business and
a science.
lit is my sincere belief that the
new program can be more speedily,
more easily and more successfully
and satisfactorily worked out through
the Republican party because it has
always been the party of ideas and
action. For these reasons | proposed
to stay with the Republican party, TO
advance it, to support it with all the
energy L possess, to help rescue Kan
sas from spoilsmen domination and
Democratic misrule; to help it give
impetus and momentum to the great
national movement for better govern

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, June %,
1914. Cattle receipts of 10000 head in
two days are almost equal to the
total supply last week, but are still
far below normal for the season. The
deficiency is largely quarantines, and
stock and feeding grades. Oklahoma
hardly started running cattle yet, but
the cake feeding district in North
Texas is cutting loose. A few choice
to prime native steers are coming
this week, and find outlet at SO Is
and 50 25, for both steers and year
lings, and straight heifers brought 50.
These top grades struck their sum
mer stride, and will be in the nature
of specialties hereafter. Middle and
lower grade natives are in fair supply,
and buyers have haggled over paying
the moderate advances asked by com
mission men Sales we're steady to 10
higher yesterday, and are slow
steady today. Butcher grades made
gains last week and are holding them
Quarantine cattle sold weak to- 10
lower yesterday, and they are again
lower today. The run of 104 cars i'm
thyt division yesterday and Sc cars to-
day carries much beef, majority of
the cattle being cake fed North Tex
as steers weighing 100 to 1400
pounds, and selling at a range of
$3.50 to So. IS. Two trains of South
Texas grass steers have been included,
whicn sold at Sc rs to FITS, and
medium to common Oklahoma
grassers at Sc. 20 to ST. Veal calves
sell up to $40. Stockers and feeders
are encountering slack demand,r not
because cattle are not wanted, but
buyers are busy with the harvest
Prices are barely steady with last
week, sales largely at Sc. IS to SITS,
range that will probably be elevated
in the near future.
Hogs met serious opp0sstien today
for the first time since the late ad-
vance set in ten days ago, and sales
we're 10 lower than yesterday, top
So 80, bulk SO Is to 1925. Receipts
are 1000, and runs are light at other
markets, and the decline appeares to
be forced. Under present volume OF
supply it is doubtful whether it will
stick, as general opinion favors
stronger markets
Sheep and lambs also met a reverse
today, sales Is to IS lower, Arizona
spring lambs at &c. natives up to
So Is, native ewes 81 IS. A few Tex
as sheep are coming, mixed wethers,
yearlings and ewes today at s585,
goats selling at s3 to So. 90 Receipts
are 1000 today, and supply is going to
be light here for month or six
| weeks ahead.

sum less $4,000 must be duplicated
by the State. All work provided for
by this bill is to be handled through

will be seen that by using approx
mately 10 per cent each year for field
demonstrations Kansas will probably
be able to add about seven new coun-

FOUR WHEAT PROBLEMS
j. III. Miller of the Kansas Agri-
cultural College is urging farmers TO
consider carefully the idea of re-
ducing their wheat acreage. He be-
lieVes Kansas has too many acres of
wheat and too small an acreage of
corn. katir, milo and alfalfa. He
urges farm storage of wheat, partly
to enable men and teams to get into
the fields with disc or plow or lister
and he urges all ground to be disced
before July Is and plowed before
August Is and seeded after Septem-
ber Is and before October Is. He
urges upon everybody to store away
enough good seed wheat for 1915 TO
avoid the chance of having to beg or
borrow seed in case of failure next
year.

TIGERS GET BADNESS" out OF SYSTEM
HORSE RACING PREDICTED TO REPLACE u. 8.
$50, -,
Mist re To K
BY HUGH 5. FULLERTON

A revival of horse racing In
the United States appears to be
at hand IL the crooks who
wrecked the game can be kept
out of IL the chances are that the
sport of kings" will be permit
ted to resume at several of the
old stands during this fall and
next spring.
Horse owners and racing men
generally have at last arrived At
the conclusion that the public,
which is the law, will not permit
racing or race track gambling
which is controlled by thieves
and sharpers and that the old
gang must be kept out of the
game entirely. On this basis a
campaign has been inaugurated
and it is meeting with much sue
cess at New Orleans. Hot Springs
st. Louis. and several other
places.
The chances of success In re-
viving the game in Missouri and
Arkansas are better than they
ever have been and the proba-
Unity Is that f1Ol opTlnBs viii
have a race meet next spring.
The American public favors
horse racing. The great major
ity want 1t. They will vote for IT,
and will vote against repressive
laws. But they will not submit
to having the game In the con-
troll of the handbook trust or the
combine of crooked track and
horse owners that ruined the
game in the West.
The prosperity of all sports de-
ponds upon the confidence of the
public in such sports. I have been
shocked in the last year to sec
how public confidence in the hon
esty of baseball has been shat
tered. And the magnates are go
ing right ahead making condi-
tons worse.
just now the three major
leagues are engaged in making
big trades. They are weakening
strong clubs and strengthening
weak ones. They are "equaliz-
ing" and adjusting" The pub
lie wants to see close races no
matter what the league may be
but il will not stomach the man
ipulation of a championship race
by exchanges of players.
