SURVEY Of THE SOIL.


A soil survey of Shawnee county
made by the Kansas State Agricultural
college in cooperation with the United
States department Of agriculture has
been published and there are . limited
number of reports and maps OF the
county now ready for distribution
among the farmers of the county and
other interested parties.
These reports will be sent free upon
request to the director of the Kansas
experiment station, Manhattan. Kan.
The map shows where every quarter
section of land in the county lies and
the soil types it contains.
The reports mention the kinds OF
crops now generally grown on each
kind of soil, point out the needs OF
each type, both as regards fertility
and methods of handling, and suggest
the crops that are most likely to sue
coed on the different soil types. In
fact the report will be found interest
ing and full of information of q prac-
teal and helpful character to all farm
ers operating in Shawnee county.
1t is doubtful il the Kansas State
Agricultural college has ever engaged
development of a permanent agricul-
ture in Kansas or that will result in
more immediate and lasting benefit
to the farmers than complete and
detailed soil survey. Not only is the
soil survey of direct value to the man
Oh inc 1aTINs out IL ID Valuable 70 tu0
farmer in another way, in that 1t
furnishes reliable and fundamental
information for agricultural college
men and agricultural writer's who are
called upon to advise with farmers ~
to the best methods of operating their
soils.
1t Is to be regretted that through
lack of appropriations the soil sur
vey work was not continued during
the past two years, except in two
counties where the United States de-
partment of agriculture maintained
small parties dlring the summers Of
1913 and 1914. Unless state aid can
be obtained through the coming leg
islature, however, it will not be pos
sible to continue the work even in q
small way, as government operations
In this state will be withdrawn and
carried to other states unless aug
mented with state APPROPRIATIONS.

MESA
JUNIOR COMMERCIAL
 CLUB FOR GEM CITY

Many of the middle west towns and small cities have been greatly bene fitted by the organization of Junior commercial clubs. The sum of money needed to become member of the present organization has probably been responsible for the lack of support of many bright young men who have travelled and seen much of the country and who have studied the economic conditions of the various cities in which they have resided. It has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that the work of any organization such as will represent a town or district to the best advantage is the organization that is of the greatest benefit to that town. While there has been a great amount Of proper advertising of the resources of the town of Mesa and surrounding country done by the present club, yet there are many conditions that have been overlooked that would probably have been called to the attention of the club by men who have given this sys- tenn of information careful thought and consideration in their associations in the past few years. In speaking on this subject, one gentleman said: T would like to see a club consist of men of push, and not one where seemingly every member had an axe to grind. The question seems to have resolved itself into, not what is for the best good, but how much can you put up" This remark has been supported by a number of others who have the inter- est of the town at heart.
 The Junior Commercial club, as an adjunct to the old organization, can be of great help to them and can be con- ducted at an expense of one dollar per month

THE GOOD ROADS MEETING

Hon George D. Marshall. superin tendent of construction of the gov ernment good roads department at Washington, D. C., gave a splendid illustrated lecture before a Tempe au- dience on Monday evening. Every part of his address and every slide that was thrown on the screen were of direct interest to the large audi ence in attendance MT. Marshall did not comment on the Arizona roads, but in place gave many pointers on how to establish good roads and on how to maintain them. In different localities road building operations are necessarily different, but Mir. Marshall made his points so clear that one could not go wrong in any commun- ity that he might attempt to promote the good roads movement The eve ming lecture was generally well ap- preciated and everyone of the large sized audience are glad that they at tended. MT Marshall gives a similar lecture at the opera house in Mesa this evening.

purposes $190,75 This year, with 40S million valuation, the state will raise for educational purposes, $994,- 537, or more than $S00,000 more than in 1911.
 To raise this excess, it requires 20 cents out of the A 12 cents,-total state levy. Take the. 20 from the If 1-2, and there is left A 1-2, which would be the rate this year, if edu- cation received no more this year than it did under the 9S million valu- atiOn.

TEMPE
FIRST LECTURE COURSE
 ATTRACTION TONIGHT
Kellogg Hanes Singing Party First Number. Gamble Concert
 Go. Signed

The best lecture course that the committee has yet been able to offer the one thousand or more patrons of the series, opens tonight at the nor mal auditorium with a musical en- tertainment by the Kellogg -Haines singing party made up of five well known artists in the musical world. This splendid company puts on a class of entertainment that is cer- tain to please all. Each member is a good soloist but their claim to re- cognition lies chiefly in their quartet work. It is doubtful if any other male quartet in America can ap- proach the Kellogg Haines party in that singing of individuality and per feet blending of voices which charac- terizes an ideal male quartet. In ad- dition to the male quartet, three members of the company comprise mala trio of equal merit.
 Since organizing this fall, the com mIttee in charge of the course has been in correspondence with many entertainment parties in all parts of the country From the lot five were selected, and just yesterday the sixth contract was closed for the appear ance here sometime in march of the Gamble Concert Company. This same organization has heretofore given two concerts in Tempe and so highly ap- preciated were both programs, that the committee feels third engage ment will not he amiss from what the patrons of the course might wish for. A seventh number to the course, and very possibly an eighth one, will he added within the next week or two.
 The curtain rises on tonight's per formance at eight o'clock. The re- served seat plat, which may be found at Laird X Dimes drug store today, gives evidence of an unusually good patronage to the course this winter. Between five hundred and thousand tickets have already been sold.

The opening day of the Queen City school of dressmaking and ailoring was one to be remembered in Mesa. The school marks an epoch in modern advancement and also has the distinc- tion of being the first and only one of it's kind in the state. The instructress is lady of experience who has quick ly demonstrated to the many visitors who took advantage of the offer of the school on the opening day that she was thoroughly conversant with he work. The students who have en- rolled commenced their work yester- day morning and find that speciaizing on this work is a great advantage.

WHAT COTTON HAS DONE

A brief summary of the business done by the Egyptian Cotton Exchange during the past year will bring to the attention, probably more forcibly than any other means, what the cotton in- dustry has done for the people of this district and make us take a look back ward to what the conditions might have been had we not had this means of circulating a few dollars that came to the individuals, but which, when taken as lump sum, would make any one stop worrying for a while. Up to october, 1914, there had been 959 bales disposed of, amounting to S96,- 25S.01. It has cost sS,266S5 to handle this crop. The expense has been in cured for freight, storage, interest on funds, insurance etc. The net returns to the growers has been $S7,991.16. A feature of the handling of this crop that should not be overlooked is the picking of the same. An average of $40 per bale has been paid out for picking, amounting to $3S,360.
 Practically every dollar of this amount has been spent here in Mesa Comparing the business of 1913 with the business as it presents itself this season, the conditions appear about as follows: The gin started October r, 1913, and there were 300 bales out on the same date in 1914, and 200 of them have been shipped and returns made on them. Last year the first ! shipment was made on October ?, and there have been four shipments of car lots since This information will probably call to the attention of many that some of the situations tha ap-
 peared as experimenal and unneces- SarV are bearing fruit
