Plan Farmers Convention.

Farmers of southeastern Kansas,
in cooperation with the Kansas Agri-
cultural College, are to have conven-
ton at Parsons, February and 4 to
encourage progressive methods in
farming in that section of the state.
Southeastern Kansas is doing some
mighty good farming now but there
are a number of agricultural problems
peculiar only to that section which
are interfering with the proper agri-
cultural development of that region.
Problems of the soil and of drainage
are the chief obstacles in the way of
Southeast Kansas farmers, college
men say.
The best talent the agricultural col
lege has will take part in the con-
vention. President Waters, w. NJ.
Jardine, dean of agriculture, and four
heads of departmentS-L. E. Call, soil;
Q. E. Reed, dairying; W. A. Cochel,
animal husbandry; and H. ]. Lippin-
colt, poultry husbandry-wiH give ad-
dresses. H. J. Bower, e. ]. Macy, and
w. F. Watkins, farm demonstra-
ton agents in southeast Kansas, will
assist in the meetings.
In addition to the regular program
arranged for morning, afternoon, and
evening sessions, a program for
women has been arranged for the af-
ternoon of the second day. This is
in charge of Miss Frances L. Brown,
chief of home economics work in the
extension division of the agricultural
college. Lectures on management in
the farm home, the practical side of
domestic art, and food for the farmers
family are to be given. Miss Brown
will be assisted by Mrs E. J. Macy, of
independence, and Mrs. w. J. Burtis,
of Fredonia.

Made 40 600 Kids Farmers.

Forty thousand boys and girls in
Kansas have been enrolled in the con-
tests carried on by the Kansas Ag-
ricultural College in the last seven
years, according to J. H. Miller, dean
of extension work. Every year six
thousand boys and girls became in
terested in improved agriculture and
better homes. With all that interest,
however, Kansas has hardly made
beginning in this big work. Two years
ago one county sent in 1,019 names.
If all had done as well, according to
population, there would have been
sixty thousand contestants instead of
six thousand. st isn't too early to get
ready TOR the contests this year." said
Mr.. Miller. ''The work has re-
ceived the support of bankers, COM
mercial clubs and institute officers
With their cooperation it is possible
to make this the banner year for corn,
Kafir and potatoes, gardens, and for
interest in cooking and sewing among
the girls. Every community should
not only have contests for he boys
and girls, but for the farmers and
their wives and all the family" An
interesting booklet outlining the plans
for carrying on the boys and girls
contests has been prepared. 1t is
being sent out free to applicants.

Distributing Companies Pay Federal

Kansas Natural for the Gas
Consumed.

The Kansas City Gas Company and
the Wyandotte County Gas Company
have paid to the federal receivers
of the Kansas Natural Gas Company
$1,049, 600 due for gas received under
the federal receivership. The payment
closes up accounts between the dis
tributing companies and the parent
company, necessitated by the turning
over of the property of the Kansas
Natural by the federal receivers to
the receivers appointed by the state
court. The Missouri company paid
$S69,000 and the Kansas company
$1S0,O0O
Richard Higgins, city counselor of
Kansas City, Kas., received word
from Judge Thomas J. F1annelly of
the district court of Montgomery
county, Kansas, who appointed the
state receivers for the Kansas Natural
that Attorney Gener l John Dawson,
of Kansas, had made application at
Independence, in the Montgomery
county district court for the appoint
ment of receivers for the Wyandotte
County Gas Company. Mayor Green
and Mr. Higgins conferred with the
attorney general the day before. The
receivership was asked for on the al
legation that under the present re-
gime the distributing company is at
tempting to evade the antitrust laws
of the state.
= ]. w. Dana, attorney for the Wyan-
dotte County Gas Company, said that
he had received no notice of the filing
of an application for the appointment
of receivers and the payment made
was in no wise connected with it but
came as the elimination of the set
ting of accounts began January in
the federal court. At that time Judge
Smith Mcpherson ordered that all
moneys due from the distributing COM
panies of the Kansas Natural be paid
to the federal receivers at once, to
be later turned over to the state re
ceivers now in charge of the COM
pany's Kansas property.
''The accounts are all square now"
Mr.. Danna said. "The payment was
merely a matter of the final settle
ment.''
