WAR HELPS FARMERS.


Fut Worlds Wheat Shortage Controls
Price, Says X. s. A. G. Dean.
Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 5.-If the war
IN Europe were to stop tomorrow the
price of wheat would probably stay
Just as high as 1t is now, in the belief
Of w. M. Jardine, dean OF agriculture
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege. The world crop Of wheat is below
normal and naturally wheat prices rise.
England, says the dean. is setting the
price of wheat in America just now be-
cause our market is much closer than
the markets of Argentina or India.
France raises 80 per cent of its wheat.
Germany 60 per cent. Russia exports
wheat, but England imports 80 per cent
of its flour grain. The acreage that
is being planted this fall is less than
last year and wheat will necessarily
remain high. Since other crops are
high, a farmer will not lose because
he raises no wheat.
The war will be Of greater benefit to
tho South. says Dean Jardine, than to
because It will force the southern
planter to abandon his single cropping
system and adopt diversified farming
methods. This will, in the long run,
help the southern farmer.
The American stOckman, in Profess
sor Jardine's opinion, has the oppor-
tunity Of q lifetime. The war. II It
continues, will rapidly consume the re-
serve foundation of stock in Europe.
and 1t will give this country a chance
to control the market. The Belgium
horse industry has been seriously af-
fected and possibly wiped out. in Eu-
rope. The quality Of American stock
should be improved. Meat is high be-
cause cattle and hogs are scarce.

TO SURVEY SCHOOLS.


q Thorough Investigation.
Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 5.-Members
Of a commission established by the
board of administration are about to
begin a survey of the high schools
such as has never been undertaken in
from the faculties of the university,
the agricultural college and the nor
NAL schools will carry on the work.
Prof. w. H. Andrews represents the
agricultural college.
Greater cooperation between the
state educational institutions and the
high schools and sound detailed in
formation upon which educational leg
islation may be based are some of the
purposes of the survey. The results
of the survey will be open to use by
the legislature. A full report will be
sent to each high school giving its
standing in the opinion of the investi-
gators, and it is anticipated that this
will result in a careful Standardization
Of secondary education in Kansas.
The list of schools accredited by the
state collegiate institutions will also
be made up from the results of the
study.
Members Of the commission will
visit between now and the Christmas
vacation the 400 four-year high
schools of the state. Further inves-
tigative work will probably be done
later. Among the matters that will
be particularly studied in each school
will be the physical plant. including
grounds. building and equipment. the
academic and professional training of
teachers. the course of study, the ade-
quacy of the presentation of the
work. and the general efficiency. Par
ticular attention will b. given to the
courses which receive state aid.
These are in home economics, agricul-
ture and normal training.

THE BIGGEST EVER.
ElDoradO's Kafir Carnival surpassed
All Others in Attendance.

ElDOradO's kafir Carnival SuFpasscu
All Others in Attendance.
Ell Dorado, Kan, Oct. 5.-Surpassine
anything of it's kind ever held IN the
state of Kansas, and possibly IN the
world. the big Ell Dorado annual Kafir
Corn Carnival closed here Saturday
evening after three Of the most gaia
and festive days ever known to the cit
liens Of this city.
From sunrise on the opening morning
until the last notes of the final Dano
concert Saturday evening. the big pa
gent carnival was a success beyond the
expectations Of even its most enthusl-
astic boosters, and it is estimated that
the crowds each day averaged more
than IA. 600 people. Queen Virginia Nell
wood with her Maid Of Honor and eight
ladies in attendance presided over the
festivities and were the. principal TEA
lures of the big parade Friday. Satur-
day afternoon 1900 school chlloren
marched in the big school parade and
the street floats were among the prln-
cipal display attractions.
Nineteen township floats We'd with
each other for the honor of having the
most attractive grain displays and the
first prize in this contest went to the
Clifford township booth which featured
in a big grain display the Great Seal
of the state Of Kansas. made entirely
from kafir, wheat, corn and oats.
Saturday afternoon Governor Hodges,
Henry Allen, ]. c. Mohler and others
spoke to the large crowds in the city
park and the big festivities closed at
. D. m. with a band concert.
So many people attended the carnival
and 40 much interest has been attracted
BY it that the promoters are contem-
plating charging the scene Of the affair
and making it the annual State Kafir
Corn Carnival. However. the only OBJ
lection to this is that Ell Dorado would
not be able to accommodate the people
as her capacity was taxed to the ut
most by the large crowds this year.

the most necessary work for us to do
at the contradiction The best that
women Of Kansas can do for our state
and for humanity is to vote to retain
the present incumbents. both in con-

splendid work and to re-elect them is
no experiment. President Wilson's adj

WISHES TO INQUIRE.
Why Send Them to the State Of
Kansas.


Kansas.
To the State Journal:
am in receipt Of a press notice
said to come from 1.-The Congressional
Union for Woman's Suffrage" 1t
states that workers have been sent to
the nine suffrage states to defeat
Democratic candidates for the United
States senate and house and that Mrs.
E. S. Latimer and Miss Lola c. Trax
are in Kansas for that purpose. No
home address for these women is
given. In view Of the splendid admin
istration that President Wilson is CIV
ing the people; in view of the record
for accomplishment made by the pres
ent Democratic congress and what
Kansas has done and the Democratic
party Is doing for the woman's cause,
I can see neither sense nor justice in
pursuing such a policy by women, and
intelligent people will very generally
see that it smacks loudly of political
trickery under cover: The voice of
Jacob and the hand of Esau.
The state of Virginia, a strong Dem
ocratic state, has just voted out the
saloon; seven of the nine prohibition
states have Democratic governors
and the Kansas prohibitory law is bet
ter enforced at the present time than
ever before. The Democratic party of
Kansas in the platform for 1914 has
an aggressive and progressive plank
recommending nation wide prohibition
ana nation VIDE ballot Tor women ana
every candidate running on the Demo-
cratic ticket in this state is running on
that platform. Why such haste to de-
feat the Democratic party? In the
past fifty years the Republicans in
congress have been in the majority and
there has been hardly time in the
half century when that party could
not have submitted suffrage amend
ment had they favored it-but no
organization of women ever sent out
workers to defeat that party in all
those years.
In the year and half that the
Democratic party has been iE power it
has accomplished more in constructive
and progressive legislation than had
been accomplished in the past decade.
This fact makes it clear that these
imported women are more anxious to
defeat DemocI attic candidates than
they are to gain suffrage. Had the
women of Kansas conducted their
campaign on the rule or ruin plan,
they would have failed, as any policy
pursued on that basis should. 1 am
for suffrage for women and as county
president did what could for its
adoption in Kansas and just now we
can make our votes count for the good
