nave good reason to be, but It will
only make matters worse to promul-
safe indiscriminate charges of whole
sale ineendiarism. Some explosions
may have been occasioned by
matches or explosives, but most. IL
not all Of them, can be explained by
natural causes.
Everyone knows that In every har-
vest season for number of years
there have been numerous exnlo-
Slons of separators in this county
caused by smut. If such explosions
occur each year under average con-
ditions, there is no reason why they
should not be multiplied under alb
normal conditions. This fall the
conditions are abnormal. Not only
Is there much more smut than usual.
but the grain is much dryer and
there seems to be less moisture and
more electricity in the air. In fact,
all the conditions appear to be just
right for smut explosions. Many old
timers say that they can not remor.-
Der such dry season as has pre-.
vailed since the first of July. Now
IL a dozen separators are damaged
by smut explosions in normal sea-
son, 1t IS perfectly reasonable that
ten times that number might be
damaged in an abnormal season
when all conditions are conclusive tc
explosions. The farmers will accoro-
plish more by devoting their time
and thought to devising ways and
means Of guarding against natural
explosions, than by discussing and
circulating rumors of unnatural
ones. Thus far there has been very
little tangible evidence to subssani-
ate the be,.ef that any Of the explo-
sions have been due to unnatural
causes, and with the exception Of
three or four cases, the charges have
been based entirely on suspicion and
loose talk.
TO stir UP and excite bad feeling
between the farmers and their har-
vest help without Just reason and to
suggest to unbalanced minds the
idea of flowing up machines is
pretty nearly as criminal as put
ting matches in the grain. This is
the time to keep cool and demand
proof befOle you credit or repeat
all the rumors you hear.

nous number of these. If the crack
or defect is visible only when the
egg is held before a candle or when
1t is gently tapped against another
sound egg it is called a blind
check" This tapping of one egg
against another is called clicking"
by the egg men.
"Leakers' are thrown out at
every stage of handling. The coun-
try merchant usually throws them
away when he discovers them, as do
the egg peddler and the city retailer.
They therefore constitute total
loss. Checks" are sure to rot
quickly when on the market for they
are ready prey for any mold or
germs that may chance to fall into
the crack. They are usually dis
posed of as soon as possible and are
likely to be found in greater num-
bors in markets near section pro-
during eggs. If found at a distance
from producing section a cracked
esG is more than likely to be of very
low quality. However, there are
plenty of checks" which are fresh
and above reproach except for the
damaged she'll, but they must be
handled carefully and rushed to the
consumer as quickly as possible.
Dirt Outside No Indication of Bad
Interior
The egg wit la dirty shell Is one
Of the most Objectionable factors of
the egg industry. However, it must
be remembered that outer filth Is
not conclusive evidence that the con-
tents of the eggs are infected. or
course If eggs have shells that are
cracked as well as dirty they may
well be regarded with suspicion.
The great drawback in the case of
dirty-shell eggs is that they bring a
lower price in the market, although
the egg may be large and its con-
tents fresh. Eggs with dirty shells
do not store we'll. They are, there
fore, not available for holding when
the surplus production Is great and
when the market can secure more
clean" eggs than it needs. Often
they scarcely pay the expense of
marketing.
When shells are stained, as well
as dirty, there Is an indication that
water as we'll as filth has come in
contact with the egg shell, and such
eggs when stale are often infested
with bacteria that have gone
through the pores of the she'll
Stains can not usually be washed off.
Eggs that are to be kept should
never be washed, as water will re-
move the natural coating that pro-
tects the contents of the egg.
The highest percentage of dirty
shell eggs occurs during wet spring
weather. Since thew do not keep
well large number find their way
to egg-beraking establishments, as
do the cracked eggs that are termed
Checks"

tive arguments quote conflicting sta
tistics to prove that it has been a
failure. 1t is to be noted that the
statistics quoted by the supporters
Oh the bill are taken from statements
Of the governor and attorney general
Of the Sunflower state, while the sta
tistics used by the liquor champions
are taken from recent U. S. census
reports.
The statistics are so conflicting
and contradictory that they are
tCund 20 puzzle the average voter
and to cause doubt as to what the
real facts are. 1t would seem that
the governor and attorney general
OF any state should be in the best
POSSIBLE position to know the actual
conditions existing in that state and
that their statements should out
weigh census figures, which are Of
ten inaccurate.
My advice to the voter would be to
pay little attention to these conflict
ing statistics, for it is a comparative
ly easy matter to juggle figures in
such a way as to make them prove
almost anything. We are far away
from Kansas and it is almost an i'm
possibility to positively establish the
truth or fa'sity of the statistics quot
ed.
But we do not have to rely upon
statistics to determine the real facts.
The people of Kansas are the best
judges of the operation of the reform
and they are satisfied and from year
to year Rave been making the laws
to enforce prohibition more drastic.
The generation which wrote prohtbl-
ton into the constitution Of Kansas
Las passed away, but their sons and
erandsons, who have observed the
operation OF the reform, have been
so we'll pleased with it that they
could not te induced to surrender 1t.
AZ William Allen White, the famous
editor of the Emporia (Kan.) Ga
zette, puts it:
'If the state government should
pass into a despotism that would in
troduce The open saloon by imperial
decree, the Kansas people OF the gem
Grafton nov on earth would not pa
tronize it. Not only have they ceen
educated out of liking the taste OF
whiskey and the habit of drinking
it, but they have been taught to fear
it."
The fact that the people of Kan
sas. who live where prohibition is IN
force, believe that the system has
benefited them socially and ecohom-
ically should outweigh any amount
Of statistics which may or may not
he accurate and reliable.
