ROUND AND ABOUT US.

The Tribune reports that Grandma
Pond suffered partial stroke of para
lysis last week and lies in comatose
state at her home in Readstowr She
is past 81 years old and the trouble is
likely to prove very serious If not fatal
Up at Necedah they have imported a
man for their postmaster. One Chas.
. 'Brien, said to be a resident of Mil
waukee, is moving his family to Niece
dab for the purpose of assuming the
position. And there we're numerous To-
cal applicants for the job. Evidently
one of 30 and I's' special friends had
the pole.
The Readstown Tribune reports that
Lulu, little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

Chas. s. Ward, Glendive, Montana
Some time ago ! read with interest
the letter of DIR. Porter on taxation in
Wisconsin. AS paid my taxes today
it brought the matter again to my mind,
when ! had to fork over to the treasur-
er Of Dawson and Musselsheil counties,
in Montana, 1914 % as my share of the
tax burden. So think that taxes in
Wisconsin are not much higher than
they are in this state. Taxes become
delinquent on the 30th day of Novem-
Der, at six o'clock in the evening, and
after that ten per cent is added and
one per cent. per month until paid, in
GLIDING cost of advertising, ETC., if it
is let go that long. Election has gone
republican in Dawson county, and there
were quite a number of the Vernon
county boys that assisted in bringing
about this result. We are having the
finest weather here this fall and every
body is prosperous and feeling happy
in spite of the high taxes. With best
regards TO all my old Vernon county
friends -

of season tickets; to others, only 25
and 15 cents for adults and pupils re-
spectiyely. Tickets are on sale at
the drug store where seats may be
reserved. Please secure your seats
early so that the management may
have some idea of the number of ex-
ira seats required 1t is the desire

large attendance, not only in order to

hope of giving everybody good time
at half price. All those taking part
in the entertainment will be given

From the State Agricultural College.
J. A. Rickart,
Market Correspondent.

Manhattan, Kans., March 9. If
Kansas Farmers will plant a few
acres this spring to early maturing
corn it will be possible to have grain
for feed during August L. E. Call,
professor of agronomy at the agri-
cultural college, says that the short
corn crop last year means that many
farmers will be out of feed before the
next crop natures, or paying high
prices for it, He advises the planting
of a few acres to any one of the va
rieties which yield grain in about
ninety days.
Home grown seed of these early
varieties or seed from the early ma
turing types grown in north central
Nebraska or South Dakota should be
planted, Professor Gail says. Such
varieties as Minnesota No. l3, Pride
of the North. or early strains of Iowa
Silver Mine and Reid's Yellow Dent
should furnish corn for feed during

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City STOCK ARDS, March 10,
1914. Beef scarcity talk has been
suspended at Chicago this week,
where a good run of cattle yesterday
ELECTED nothing but Indifference from
killers, and where prices were 10 to
25 lower on bulk of sales, according
to the veracious Live Stock World.
This condition caused much latent
strength in the market here to re-
main below the surface. Prices were
no worse than steady, certain desir-
able steers sold stronger yesterday,
cows are strong to 10 higher to-day,
and StockerS and feeders are selling
better this week. Receipts were TO-
600 yesterday, and 1000 today. and
the run carried larger proportion of
beef than it did same days last week.
Some good to choice native steers,
1912 lbs, brought 1920 today, pulp
and hay fed Westerns SS. 40, and meal
fed quarantines 1925. Fair to good
COWS bring $500 to s7.25, and prime
COWS would bring around S7.75, bulls
about the same figures. Middle grade
Western steers bring $3.50 TO 50, and
Dry weather in South Texas has
postponed the start of the spring run
of grassers from that section fifteen
TO thirty days, but good crop is ma
turing, and will move to market in
April and May. Oklahoma and Kan
sas pastures promise TO be tenantless
this summer in many cases, as not
only are northern cattle buyers
baking at asking prices in the South,
but some big grazers have given up
their pasture leases for this season,
account of repeated years of losses,
due to dry weather. This will have
some beneficial effect on summer and
fall prices, though the outlook for
well finished steers indefinitely ahead
can hardly be impaired. Stock steers
sold at sS.O5 today, best feeders bring
$3.50 to s8, middle class stockers s6. rs
to $3.50, choice panhandle stock
calves today $40.
Hogs opened 5 higher today, and
registered top of $50. The market
later receded. and the close was
barely steady, bulk of sales sS. 35 to
SS. 65- Receipts are 10000 today, which
is a material reduction from recent
Tuesdays. Average weight is gradu-
ally ascending while year ago it was
dropping down; it now stands at 1877
lbs. year ago POI lbs. Order trade
is sufficient to keep packers in line,
and defeat any attempt at distinct
break.
Sheep and lambs sold Is to 20 higher
and steady today. Receipts
were 5000 yesterday, and 5000 today.
Small receipts appear to be in store
for Kansas City for some time ahead,
as Southern Colorado feeding sections
are disposed to string shipments long,
and no great number remains to come
either from the Arkansas or the San
Luis Valley. Lambs sold at $50 to
81. 80 today, yearlings worth Sc so TO

most OF august III planted as early as
possible this spring.
1t is not advisable, Professor Call
says, to plant a large acreage to these
early varieties. They do not make
large yields under Kansas conditions
Only local varieties, known to be
adapted TO this state, should be
planted for the main crop.
Manhattan, Kans., March 9. The
uncropped soil in many parts of west
ern Kansas seldom has been in better
condition for blowing, according to
report received at the agricultural
college recently from George K. Hell
der, superintendent of the Hays ex-
pertinent station. Much damage is
likely to come from wind erosion un-
less farmers take precautions at once
and prevent it, Mr.. Helder says:
"Listers or cultivators should be-
put into operation on open fields,''
Mr. Helder advises. Shallow fur
rows should be made with the culti-
vator across the fall plowing that is
now leveled by the climate action
Sorghum stubble may be blank listed
This may be done over the entire
field or by making a half-dozen fur
rows every twenty feet. The listing
should be. done in that direction
which will put furrows at right
angles to the customary course of the
winds. A six shovel cultivator with
every other shovel removed makes
burrows that will check drifting
earth for awhile, but the work may
have to be done over again if the
movement of soil PARTICLES fills up the
burrows.
1.-THE Fort Hays station has two
listers and three cultivators in use,
hoping to protect its large kafr stub
BILE, fall-plowed land, and fallowed
land prepared for alfalfa seeding.
MULCHING HELPS WHEAT.
spreading thin mulch of straw
on your wheat is also beneficial. 1t
will stay in the place spread better
than you suspect, provided the wheat
has some growth SO that the plant
will help hold the straw. After
spreading the straw it is a good plan
to use Campbell packer, or other
subsurface packer, to press the straw
into the loose surface. Do not use a
roller on the field; it would be harm
full to further crush the soil.
I'VE admit this problem is one of
the most serious the western Kansas
farmer is called upon to meet. 1t
can be solved, in large measure, by
prompt attention, by rotating the
land, and by not attempting too
much soil mulching. Try to have
surface earth left in condition
afforded by small clods, rather than
well pulverIzed and level. Fall plow-
ing and fallow land should be rigded
in the late fall with lister or culti-
vator.- Do not depend upon trash or
weed growth; the development of
this sort of cover costs the crop they
grow with too severely in plant food
and essential moisture.

Yes, it is surprising how much and
what sort of literature people read in
these latter days. That is. some peo-
pie. 1t is equally surprising what
some of them don't read Some of
them remain in dense ignorance con-
corning local events of intense and
immediate interest = notwithstand-
ing the news may be published in
two or three local papers. Some peo-
pie prefer to get their news by rumor
or tradition and their information (9)
from the Appeal to Treason or the
Old Ladies Home Rejuvenator. Yes,
the information occasionally exposed
is really quite surprising.

but the mode of infection is different.
