KANSAS SHOULD GROW MORE OF THIS KIND OF CORN.

which It is to be planted should be OBJ
tanned within a radius Of seventy-five
to eighty miles, II possible.
In northeastern Kansas, there Ii
sufficient good corn Of the 1912 and
1913 crops available to supply the To-
cal demand for seed. In few favored
localities in southeastern Kansas,
considerable corn was produced and
seed from these localities should be
secured for planting in this portion
OF the state If it is available. II not,
seed from Missouri should be OBJ
tanned, that grown directly east and
as near home as possible preferred.
For north-central Kansas, consider
able seed of the 1912 crop is avail
able and whenever possible this corn
should be secured. There is probably
enough good seed of old corn in that
portion of the state to plant a large
per cent Of the acreage providing all
Of it is put on the market for seed.
Corn from east-central and eastern
Nebraska and southwestern Iowa
should be the next choice of seed.
The same thing applies to central
Kansas with the exception that 1912
corn from northeastern Kansas should
be preferred to that from more dis
tant sources to the northeast.
For south-central and southern
Kansas, varieties Of corn from central
Oklahoma that will be sure to mature
in the comparative shorter season in
Kansas should be preferable to that
obtained several hundred miles north
or northeast. In bringing corn north
there is always danger Of getting
varieties that will not mature. There
is also danger in sending too far
north for seed, in that the corn OBJ
tanned is too early maturing to take
advantage OF the longer growing sea-
son for the locality in which 1t is in
troduced. Other conditions being
equal, any small, early variety canot
produce as much as q variety having
a longer growing period. Nature can
not do as much in ninety days as can
be done in 100 days.
Another thing to be avoided as far
as possible is obtaining seed Of varie-
ties of corn grown in and adapted to
bottom land for plantingSon thin up
land. Bottom land corn may be supe-
rior in size and quality Of ears, but
It is not adapted to upland conditions
and will not, as a rule, produce 'as
well as upland grown seed of good
vitality and Of q suitable variety.

WHAT AN OHIOAN
HAS TO SAY ABOUT CONDITIONS
IN WESTERN CANADA.

W. q. Lewis formerly lived near
Dayton, Ohio. He went to Saskatche-
wan seven years ago with $1,000 In
money, q carload OF household effects
and farm implements. including four
horses and three cows. OF course, the
first year he only got feed from the
crops, but the second year had 100
acres in wheat which made over $500
bushels. He has not had failure In
crop, and at present has % head OF
horses, Is head OF cattle and IS hogs,
and owns 1920 acres Of land, all I'M
der cultivation. He has been offered
$35 an acre for his land, and should
he care to dispose OF his holdings he
could pay all his debts and have $780,
900 to the good; but, as he says,
Where could 60 to invest my money
and get as good returns" He con-
tinues in his letter to the immigration
department, August, 1912:
I'VE have equally as good II not
better prospects for crops this year as
we had three years ago, when our
wheat ranged from 30 to 48 bushels
per acre. never believed such crops
could be raised until saw them my
self. I had Is acres that year that
made so bushels to the acre. Our
harvest will be ready by the 18th.

Thinks We Need More Mules.

Editor the Missourian: According
to the World Almanac. the number
of horses in the United States has in
creased 153 per cent during the years
from 1900 to 1913. During this same
time the number of mules in the Uni
ted States has increased 210 per cent.
Yet it is fact, mules are seldom
seen in Eastern cities and never seen
on Eastern farms. Our College of
Agriculture ought to send demonstra-
tors with mules into those cities and
among those farms AS a work ami

On Dancing,

Dancing is one of the noble arts OF
self defense. The others are boxing
and wrestling
Boxing is the art of pushing your
doubled hand, padded slightly or ar
mored, into the tender spots of your
opponent
Wrestling is the art of tussling with
your opponent on a mat and trying to
throw him.
Dancing is the art of tussling with
your opposite on a smooth waxed floor
and trying to see how many contortions
you can go through without falling.
1t is popular as a light exercise in
polite society; the smoother the floor
the more polite the society.
Don't get the idea that we are irving
to make fun of dancing. We were
merely trying to define it so that a
resident of Mars who reads S. C. can
understand and do likewise, or not &C
he pleases.
There are three general styles of

nine persons voted in a primary in

istered voters. The election cost the
city $1,000. Such a condition would
spell the doom of representative
government. if it became general
OF course it will not become general
Conditions are becoming better in that
respect. We are inclined to sympathize
with the people of the Illinois city
who thought that civic affairs were
so rotten that there was no use to
vote.
But the stay-at-hOme vote is large
enough anywhere to cause concern. If
a man or woman does not feel the
force of duty to use their right of

voting mandatory.
Perhaps the best suggestion which
has been made is to assess poll tax

person cast his vote. 1t is sad state
ment but true that dollars is the only
thing which speaks with command to
some people.

WE ARE NEVER SATISFIED.

The death of Sir John Tenniel, car
tOonist for the London Punch, is an
other reminder of that great stimulus
to activity, discomfort.
In common with most newspaper il
Illustrators, Tenniel had a consuming
ambition to be a great artist. He was
a disappointed man in spite of the fact
that he was recognized as the world's
greatest cartoonist.
His political insight was wonderful.
Only once in his life did he make an
incorrect prophecy on matter of
large importance. 1t was fortunate for
England perhaps that he could not at
tain to his ideal of art. Who can esti-
mate his influence for good upon the
political life of Great Britain?
Although he died a disappointed
man, it is pleasing to believe that now
he can say with Browning, "A mans
reach should exceed his grasp. or
what's heaven for" Let us hone
that, as Kipling sang, he is now in his
separate star, painting things as he
sees them for the God of things as
they are.
