UNIVERSITY HELPS FARMERS
State Experts in "BugoIogy" Saved
Million of Dollars for Kansas
Last Year.

Mans greatest enemies are bugs.
But on the other hand, some of his
best friends are those in the insect
world. And it is to find out these
relations and make the best use Of
them for the Kansas farmer that the
entomology department of the Univer-
sity of Kansas is working. In the past
year the department has carried on
work of great benefit to the state, and
the results have been set forth in the
chronological Number of the Science
Bulletin of the University just issued.
Among the principal services per
formed are investigation in alfalfa
culture, determination of the ecOnom-
ic importance of insects, direction Of
the spraying OF orchards, investiga-
ton of the horse plague in western
Kansas, inspection Of nursery stock,
deyising of methods to kill green bugs,
grasshOppers and other insect pests,
and aid to federal and state govern
ment in drafting legislation against
the importation Of insect pests.

HOW TO PREPARE GOOD SEED BED FOR CORN

ut Professor of Soils, K. S. A. CT
cenent condition for cultivating the
corn.
When the corn is to be planted
with the loose ground lister, it neces-
states the blowing of the ground
As a rule, it is best to pillow in the fall
to a depth of about seven inches and
allow the soil to remain in a rough
condition during winter to prevent
blowing and aid in the absorption OF
water. Early spring cultivation, with
the disk harroy, alfalfa renoyator, or
spring tooth harrow is advisable for
the purpose of conserving soil mois-
ture and liberating plant food.
When corn is grown west of the
section of the state just under dis
cussion, il should be planted with a
lister When corn is planted in this
way the soil may be listed at planting
time without any previous prepare
ton. However, this is not the best
system to follow. If best results are
to be obtained early preparation is
necessary. This may be done in sew
eraI different ways. The soil may be
disked early, blank listed early and
then the ridges split at planting time,
or blank listed early and then planted
in the same furrow. The early disk
ing of corn ground is an excellent
practice and gives good results
throughout most Of the section
where listing is practiced. If the sur
face of the soil is hard and compact,
it should be disked as early in the
spring as possible in order that it
may be loose enough to allow free
entrance of water and also to form
soil mulch. Heavy spring rains may
also be necessary in order to kill
weeds that start to grow before plant
ing time

SIX MILLIONS IN cHANcERY
Largest Estate Held in London Court
Is $35,ooe-Has Been Held
for Many Years.

Iondon-One million and a quarter
pounds sterling (s6,250, 00O) is the to-
tai OF the sums held by the court OF
chancery at the present moment. The
common idea, however, that a fortune
may be obtained by a successful suit
In chancery is mythical, for the &c.
100000 is made up of no fewer than
1888 separate amounts, of which the
largest is $35, 900. OF these amounts
many have been lodged in the court
since the eighteenth century.
The official paymaster's office this
week pointed out that the court Of
chancery received annually about 500
inquiries, the great majority from the
United States, but very few claimants
succeeded.
Court officials are frequently asked
for the particulars concerning the
estate of Sir Francis Drake. OF which
they know nothing They also re-

SEED CORN FOR THIS YEARS PLANTING
PRESENTS GRAVE PROBLEM FOR FARMERS

and the 1913 crops to more than sup
ply the local demand, and in this part
Of the state there is no necessity Of
importing seed from other sources.
In southeastern Kansas, the situa-
ton is not so fortunate, since both
the 1912 and the 1913 crops were
short. In a few favored localities o.
this part OF the state fairly good seed
corn was produced in 1913. This and
the 1912 corn should be the first
choice of seed. The next best source
is seed corn from Missouri that was
grown directly east Of the locality in
which it is to be planted.
In north central Kansas, especially
in Smith, Jewell, Republic and few
adjoining counties, there is sufficient
old corn to more than supply the local
demand and this should be obtained
for seed if possible. If home grown
seed is not available. corn from east
central and eastern Nebraska should
be secured.
The same thing applies to central
and southeastern Kansas with the ex-
ception that corn from northeast Kan
| sas is to be preferred to that from
more distant sources to the northeast.
For south central Kansas, early va
rieties from central and eastern Okla
homa will be better than those OBJ
| tanned several hundred miles RGrth
and east. In bringing corn north
there is danger OF obtaining varieties
that will not mature and care should
be taken that suitable varieties are
secured.
For the western one-third Of the
state, corn from central and southern
Nebraska and southern Dakota is per-
haps the best source of seed, in that
the varieties obtained will mature IN
| der western Kansas conditions. There
j is danger in obtaining northern grown
seed for any locality in Kansas that
the varieties obtained viii mature too
early to take advantage Of the longer
growing season and are, therefore, not
capable of producing maximum yields.
A large Quantity Of shelled corn is
being shipped into Kansas this winter
! for feeding purposes. AS a rule, it is
( a mixed lot from unknown sources.
Many farmers will be tempted to use
this corn for planting rather than to
obtain good seed of varieties known
to be adapted to their conditions. No
one can afford to take this risk. The
risk involved is far too great and
more than offsets the trouble and ex-
pense of obtaining good seed. This
corn may be a poor variety unsuited
to Kansas conditions and the vitality
of the corn is likely to be low. Such
corn should not be planted until
every possible effort was made to OBJ
tain better seed.
Corn used for seed next year should
be given a termination test regardless
Of the source of the seed. If it does
not terminate ninety per cent or bet
ter, it is unfit for seed. No farmer
can afford to plant corn large por-
ton Of which will not grow. a little
time and effort spent in making q
termination test will often save re
planting a field or reduced yield due
to Door seed.

by RI. Throckmorton, Assist:


In determining how to prepare the
soil for corn, in order that we may
obtain the best yields with the mini
mum cost of preparation, it is neces-
sary to consider the influence Of the
different methods on the water abb
sorbing and retaining property Of the
soil and also to consider whether or
not the soil will be more subject to
blowing or washing if prepared in
certain ways.
With the diversified conditions
which exist in Kansas5-it is obvious
that the method of preparing the soil
for corn which is best in one sec
ton of the state will be very poor
in another. Because of these condi-
tons, we have three systems of pre-
pairing the land for corn each OF
which is adapted to a different part
Of the state
Surface planting is perhaps the
best system to follow in the eastern
part of the state, that is, east OF
Marshall and Chautauqua Counties,
where the greatest rainfall occurs.
However, On the extreme uplands OF
IuAS SSCl1Ous 11SlI4S DC dfdI1dD1S.
When corn is to be surface planted,
the land should be plowed during the
fall Or early winter and allowed to re-
main until spring in q loose and por-
Gus condition so that it VIII quickly
absorb and retain any moisture that
may fall upon it.
Corn planted on the surface usual
~ terminates quicker and better
than listed corn because the surface
soil is warmer and usually contains
less moisture than the soil-below.
The second section of the state to
be considered is that portion extend
ing westward from the area men
toned above to the western edge or
Republic and Summer Counties.
Throughout this section of the state
the rainfall is not sufficient 10 make
surface planting advisable, yet the
rainfall is greater than that of the
western part Of the state In this
section conditions are very favorable
for the use Of the loose ground or
disk lister. This implement leaves

The Kansas Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, 10000 strong, &C

and candidates are to be discussed.
About 500 w. C. T. U. institutes will

Ninety counties are organized by the
union and every one will hold a coun-
ty union convention. At each Of ten
chautauquas in the state this summer
time will be given the W. G. T. y. to
present the matters they stand for.
In August a district w. C. T. q. con-

" ANSAS plants, on the average,
over one million bushels Of seed
corn annually. Because Of the
large increase in the amount OF wheat
seeded last fall, the acreage Of corn
in 1914 will probably be below nor
NAL. The quantity OF seed required
win probably be between SOC, 600 and
900, 900 bushels.
Kansas produced in 1913 about
100000 bushels Of corn, which is
only twelve per cent OF the normal
crop. Very little of this corn is fit
for seed. Because Of the drouth and
heat, it did not mature properly and
even where yields Of from five to ten
bushels to the acre were obtained, the
corn produced is, as a rule, inferior
In quality and vitality. While much
OF it may terminate, it lacks the Vigor
and vitality necessary to obtain
good stand of strong vigorous plants.
A large per cent of the seed corn
for next years planting must come
from sources other than the Kansas
1913 crop. Probably the best source
Of seed for any given locality is the
home grown 1912 crop. This crop
was above normal in quality, and
where the corn has been kept under
proper conditions, it will make good
seed. If the corn is of good vitality,
1t will undoubtedly be superior to seed
introduced from other states or from
distant localities within the state. In
all probability, enough good seed can
be selected from the 1912 crop, to-
gether with little good seed OBJ
tanned in 1913, to supply the needs of
the state, but to do this the seed must
be selected at once and put on the
market and properly distributed.
The Agronomy Department Of the
Kansas State Agricultural College is
endeavoring to assist farmers who
have surplus amount Of seed for
sale in finding market and at the
same time help those who desire to
obtain the best seed for their respec-
tive localities. Prior to January 80,
1914, there were listed with the Agro-
| nomy Department over $4,000 bushels
of seed corn, some Of which has now
been sold. All OF this is Kansas
grown corn, and as all parts Of the
| corn growing section of the state are
represented, the list offers a good op-
portunity to locate seed corn adapted
| to all sections of the state. Farmers
who have a surplus of seed corn and
wish assistance in disposing of it
should notify the Agronomy Depart
ment at once, giving the name OF the
variety, amount, and price per bushel,
and send at the same time a small
representative sample for inspection
and termination test.
In many localities it may be impos
| sible to obtain home grown seed. In
this case seed should be obtained
| that was grown as near home as posi-
| BILE. Where corn must be obtained
| from distances of one hundred miles
| or more, the locality from which II
had best be obtained will vary with
| the portion of the state in which it is
to be planted
In northeastern Kansas, there is
