BOARD coMMENDs STUDENTS.
Rules Against Hazing Observed At
AGRICULTURAL College.

AGRICULTURAL OOlIcge.
College Park.-The board of trus-
tees of the Agricultural College adopt
ed a resolution commencing the stu
dent body for observance of regula-
tions regarding the hazing of lower
classmen.
Further qualification was expressed
by the board over congratulations from
the War Department on the progress
and improvement made by the cadet
organization during the year.
Most important developments of the
day was the organization of new d.
vision of the college, to be known as
the extension service. This will be
devoted to demonstration work among
farmers, with the intention Of secur-
ing improved methods. Prof. t. B..
Symons, head of the School of Horti-
culture has been appointed director OF
this service.
The hog cholera serum laboratory
will be continued for the purpose OF
supplying farmers with preventive OF
this scourge. Work of the seed inspec-
tor. which is especially valuable to
farmers in protecting them from the
purchase of impure and bad seeds, was
also directed to be continued, addi-
tional funds being allowed for more ex-
tended Investigations
Special provision was made for the
expenses of the summer school for
rural teachers, to commence June %.

ALL SIGN THE
FIRST PROTOCOL
Actual Beginning of the Peace
Agreement.
TOOK THREE WEEKS TO DO 1T
Omits Method Of Transfer OF Govern
ment Of Mexico, Which the Mexl-
can Delegates and the Media
tors Suggested.

Niagara Falls, Ontario.-Delegates
from the United States and the Huerta
government Friday formally afixed
their signatures, in the presence of the
mediating representatives of Argen-
tine, Brazil and Chile, to the first
protocol of the series through which it
is hoped to restore peace in Mexico.
The agreement reached Friday in
relation to the manner OF transferring
the executive power from Huerta to
the new provisional government stood
the acid test of reduction to writing.
1t provides this:
A government is to be constituted
in Mexico of a character to be later
provided, which shall be recognized by
the United States on (date to be fixed),
and which from that day forward shall
exercise public functions until there
shall be inaugurated constitutional
president
This plank in the peace plan was
reduced to the form of protocol after
more than three weeks of discussion
in the last three days Of which so seri-
GUS a disagreement had arisen that the
success of the entire mediation pro-
gram was threatened.
No Mention Of Huerta.
The brief protocol was significant of
two things:
1t makes no mention of General
Huerta as the provisional president
and 1t omits the method Of transfer
which the Mexican delegates and
mediators suggested and to which the
United States strenuously objected on
the ground that its retention would be
tantamount to recognition of the exist
ing regime. The Mexican plan provid-
ed that Huerta should name as Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs the man agreed
upon here for provisional president.
The omission of reference to the
method of succession and the fat state
mente that on certain date a provi-
sional government shall arise in Mex
leo to which the United States will
accord recognition satisfy the insist
ence Of the American delegates that
no steps should be taken that could be
construed as a recognition Of Huerta.
On the other hand, the Mexican
delegates, while abandoning the Con-
stitutional form of succession as part
of the protocol, are satisfied because
it does not specifically deny Huertas
right to name as minister of foreign
affairs the man chosen here for pro-
visional president if the latter sees At
to accept designation from him 1t is
not considered probable, however, that
the new provisional president, who is
likely to be a Constitutionalist, would
take the executive power directly from
Huerta, but he might do so from some
other individual whom Huerta might
leave in authority.

MIDDLE IN STATE BOARD.
Clayton PurneIl Sues To DisPlace
Henry Shrver.

Henry Shriver.
Clayton Purnell instituted suit in
the Circuit Court of Anne Arundel
county for the purpose of determining
whether he or Henry Shriver, OF Cum
berland, who was named by Governor
Goldsborough as his successor, is en-
titled to membership on the State
Board of Education.
This question can be solved only by
determining whether or not the Gov
ernor exceeded his authority when he
appointed Mr. Shriver to the board
after the Senate of 1914 had failed to
confirm the nomination of him.
Mr.. Purnell's term as member OF
the State Board of Education was to
have expired on the first Monday OF
last May In February the Governor
sent to the Senate for confirmation as
Mr.. Purnells successor the name OF
Mr.. Shriver. At the same time Thos.
H. Book, of Somerset county, was
nominated as a member of the board.
Mr.. Book was confirmed, but the
Senate failed to act upon the nomina'
ton of Mr.. Shriver, the intention being
to have Mr.. Purnell continue in office.
The Governor then conferred with At
torney-General Poe as to whether or
not he had right to make recess ap-
pointment. The Attorney General ruled
in the affirmative and Mr.. Shriver, not.
withstanding what the Senate had
done, was commissioned.
1t is contended that where confirma-
ton by the Senate is specifically re-
uuired the Governor cannot make re-
cess appointment after the Senate has
failed to act upon name that has
been sent to it for confirmation. The
Governor contends, however, that con-
firmation in the case of appointments
to the State School Board is not neces.
sary. Mr. Purnell insists that the Gov
ernor is wrong and that he is entitled
to hold over.

TO MEXICO CITY
IN TWO MONTHS
Gen. Carranza Says He Has
100000 Men.
is CONFIDENT OF VICTORY,
How the ConstitutionaIist Chief 10
WorshIped BY the Rank and File
OF His Army-The FederaIs
Are Now Bottled Up.

Saltillo, Mexico.-"We no longer
consider the Federal army q serious
hindrance to our advance on Mexico
City. We may be in the capital with
in two months or a little more. There
are one hundred thousand men in the
rebel army eager to proceed and con-
fdent of victory They have already
captured 12O pieces Of field artillery
and ITS machine guns, which repre-
sents more than half the equipment Of
the national arsenal"
This is a summary Of an interview
with General Venustiano Carranza.
Optimism, stimulated by the record OF
victories already achieved, pervaded
the manner and statements of the rebel
commander-in-chief.
Any impression that Carranza Is
lacking in tenacity of purpose is mis-
taken. The set of his teeth and the
angle of his jaw indicate determine
ton Of purpose, when an EFFORT IS
made to look beyond his mild-spoken
manner.
The dynamic qualities credited to
the great generals of history, includ-
ing Funston and Roosevelt, do not ap-
pear on the surface with Carranza. His
exterior is that of a diplomat, and is
the identical type found among the
leading ambassadors in the world cap
itals. His loyal associates, however,
are already referring to him as COM
posite Of Napoleon, Gladstone and Bis
marck.
No Discussions.
Carranza is held in admiration that
amounts to worship by the rank and
file of his following. If there have
been dissensions the successes to date
have dispelled them for all that can
be gathered here.
Carranza explained that only the
great waste of desert country between
Saltillo and San Luis Potosi and be-
tween Torreon and Zacatecas prevent
ed an immediate advance on Mexico
City. Saltillo and Torreon are supply
depots. The troops going to San Luis
Potosi and Zacatecas cannot carry
with them over the desert sufficient
sustenance with their equipment with
out aid from the broken railroads
which are being temporarily repaired
to permit movement of trains, at least
part of the way
South from the desert the country is
rich with foodstuffs for both man and
horse, and the lack of railroad facili-
ties will not be permitted to hinder the
advance. The last stage of the jour
ney will be memorable in the history
Of the revolution.

is the progeny of single head which
was the earliest maturing and best
producing one out of twenty-five
choice heads that were included in the
1909 breeding plot. The kafir in this
head row in question matured con-
siderably earlier than any of the 9TH
ers, made by far the highest yield, and
produced a comparative uniform type
of plants. This strain of kafir has
been kept pure and the early matur-
ing characteristics maintained by
careful selection. 1t natures earlier
grown in Eastern Kansas and for
growing in the west-central part of
the state is to be preferred.
The Whitehall White kafir is ear
.lier than the Hays strain of Black
hull kafir and is much better adapted
for growing on the uplands through
out the western part of the state.
The origin of this variety is not
known, but is believed to be the prod
uct of natural cross between Red
kafir and the old White kafir that
was once grown extensively. 1t was
obtained by the Hays Station from
VIM. Rockefeller of Russell county,
where it had been grown for years.
1t is very hardy and is better adapted
to western Kansas conditions than any
other variety known to the writer.
Another early maturing variety that
is we'll adapted for growing in west
central and western Kansas is the
Dwarf Blackhull wafir developed by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
Under favorable conditions or where
the Standard Blackhull variety can be
matured successfully, the early ma
turing sorts will not make as heavy
yields, but where the former variety
does not mature in the average sea-
son, the earlier ones are to be pre-
ferred. Because of the earliness and
Dwarf Blackhull kafir developed by
with less moisture and mature in a
shorter season.
1t is not necessary to import kafir
seed from distant countries in order
to obtain hardy, early maturing sorts.
Both early and hardy varieties can be
secured from western Kansas. They
have been improved by selection, are
we'll adaped to the soil and climatic
conditions of the state, and should
give better results than the unaccli
mated, unimproved seed obtained from
other sources.

HAVE COME TO STAY.

The county farm agent has come to
Kansas to stay. In a little more than
year the agricultural demonstrators,
laughed at at first, have proven them
selves indispensable to the commune
ties in which they have betn helping
farmers. Not one'of the seven coun-
ties or districts of Kansas that now
have demonstrators would think of
giving up its agricultural man." And
the fact that exactly the same condi-
tons exist in every other state where
farm demonstrators are working
makes DR.. H. J. Waters, president of
the Kansas Agricultural College, be.
lieve that the county agent not only
has come to stay, but that the idea
of such farm demonstration has only
begun to be developed.

many localities better results would
have been obtained if earlier matur-
ing varieties had been grown.
Kafir as ordinarily grown, has been
allowed to become later and later
each season. This gradual increase in
the time required to mature has re-
suited from two causes. Plants OF all
kinds gradually adjust themselves to
the conditions under which they are
grown. If, for instance, given vari-
ETY. is introduced into locality hav-
ing longer growing season and more
favorable conditions TO- growth, there
seems to be a natural tendency for it
to make a larger growth than normal
and become later. If, on the other
hand, variety is introduced into a
locality where the seasons are shorter
or the growing conditions less con-
genial, it will not make a growth
equal to the normal for the variety
and tends to become earlier in matur-
ity. In the case Of kafir. the grow
ing conditions throughout the eastern
and central parts of the state are, as
a rule, much more favorlble than those
of the country from which kafir was
obtained. Because of these better con-
ditions under which kafir is being
grown, 1t naturally tends to adjust It,
self to the longer growing period
which results in the later maturity OF
the crop. This tendency to become
later is often FASTENED by the selec-
ton of the larger heads for seed,
which is a common practice. AS a
rule, the largest heads are the ones
to mature last, and when they are
taken for seed, late maturity is I'M
knowingly developed By selection.
BY properly selecting the seed in
the field every year, kafir can be made
to mature at the desired time, pro-
viding growing conditions are normal.
By selecting early, medium, or late
maturing heads every season, early,
medium, or late maturing strains can
be developed.
During the last ten years the Agron'
omy Department Of the Kansas State
Agricultural College has developed
strain of Blackhull White kafir by
breeding by the head to row method
which when properly planted and cul'
tivated has not failed to fully ma
ture seed during that time. the season

of drouth and chinch bugs was toe
