Serious burning is frequently caused
by Bordeaux mixture Experiments car
ried on by Mr.. Lewis show that this
result may be due to tie use Of a poor
grade OF lime, to the use Of a stronger

CAN'T ROB KANSAS FARMERS
Organize to Fight Increase Demanded
BY Commission Men-To Meet
In Emporia.

The Lyon County Farmers Produce
Associations OF Emporia, Kas., has de-
cided not to stand for the increase In
commissions recently put into effect
at Kansas City and other market CEN
tiers. Commission men demand that
they be paid seventy-fve cents a ton
for handling hay, instead of fifty cents
This arbitrary increase of one-half,
apparently without reason, has caused
the farmers to take things into their
own hp&ds. They propose to organ
ize. eliminate the middlemaI and sell
their hay directly to the man who
wants to buy it.
This association has obtained re-
suits. In three months time it has
marketed 40 cars of hay directly to
consumers and has bought thirty cars
of grain for the farmers. They get
better prices for their hay, are not
affected by inexplicable fluctuations
of the market and save the commits
sion.
Friday, May 10, i've hundred farm
ers will assemble in Emporia to con-
slider an organization. The meeting
will be held in the commercial club
rooms at 10 a. m. and 2 p. M, and
all interested farmers are invited. The
Kansas Grange, the Farmers Union
and the Anti-Horse Thief Association
will have a great number of represen-
tatives present. This will be a gen.
eral attendance of all Kansas hay men
and farmers Without further invita-
ton, each local organization is re-
quested to send delegates.
