High School Notes

There has been large num-
Der of students out this week on
account of the laGrippe.
The large panels the boys had
ordered for their projects from
Michigan arrived this week and
they are beauties. We will soon
put out some pieces that will
"look like furniture.
Mr.. Hamilton is on the order
book for a piano bench.
Brayton Mitchell is at work on
Mrs. Boyer's linen chest.
DR.. Simpson rs instrument case
Is nearing completion. Jesse
Whitehead is the workman on
the job.
The grade cards for the first
six weeks this term were issued
last Tuesday. Mr.. Hamilton
complimented the students on
the fact that they we're the best
average lot issued during this
term OF school.
The NJ. 81 NJ, Drug Co. will let
us use their window for Friday
and Saturday of this week. We
will put on display some of the
work that has been done in the
Manual Training room. Don't
forget TO take a look at it.

the season will be played at the
Opera House next Friday night.
Victory depends to a large ex-
tent on your boosting and coop
Grafton. The game is with the
Fowler team which beat our
team at the opening of the seas
on. Our team has no place for |
practice but will put up the best |
fight they can.
The agricultural class tested |
some soils from the south part |
of the county this week. 1t was
found that the richest soil tested |
showed it required an application
of at least two tons of lime per
acre before alfalfa would grow
successfully. Other samples
from the same field showed plen-
ty of lime, The so-cslled gyp
soil and gyp rock showed high
lime percentage. The natural
conclusion would be that the sour
of some soils might be
corrested by an application of
the '.gyp" which is so abundant
in some places. The red soil
found in the southeast part of
the county has an abundance of
lime, at least the samples tested
showed this to be true. The ag-
ricultural class will be glad to
test your soils for you if you will
let us know your desires.

Kansas Wheat

Manhattan Kansas, March 10,
Nearly 80 per cent of Kansas
wheat farmers sold at least part
of their last seasons crop direct
from the thresher and about 10
per cent of their entire crop, ac-.
cording to data obtained by F.
ID. Becker, assistant professor of
economics in the Kansas State
Agricultural College, in an inves-
tigatlon of wheat marketing in
the state. Mr.. Baker has 244
detailed statements from typical
farmers living in all parts of the
Kansas wheat region. Profess
sor Baker believes that under or
dinary circu instances an even
larger proportion of the crop is
sold direct from the thresher.
Because of the heavy crop of
1914, it was in many cases found
impossible to get threshers
promptly, and much thresblng
was, therefore done after the
war had broken out and prices
were rising. Consequently
many farmers made an effort to
hold as much wheat as possible.
That au effective system of
rural credits is needed is ipdi-
Gated in Mr.. Bakers opinion, by
the relatively large number of
farmers who said lack of money
or credit was their reason for
selling their wheat Immediately.
OF the 244 who made their state
ments, u gave this as reason;
lack of storage facilities was
mentioned by so as a reason for
early selling. The proportion
of cases in which this would be
reduced, Mr.. Baker feels, il an
ordinary season which would
not tax so greatly the capacity
of granaries. Among other
causes for selling wheat direct
from the thresher were reason
able price at threshing time,
mentioned by IS farmers; belief
that early sowing is the best
policy as a rule, stated by IA;
the fact that early selling is less
trouble, stated by 7; rented land
mentioned by .; and damaged
grain, mentioned by ).
Professor Baker has further
data on the Kansas wheat mar
keting situation which he is now
engaged in tabulating. He sent
out Questionnarires to farmers,
grain dealers, and millers, cover
ing such matters as the harvest
ing of wheat, methods of pur-
chase, grain sales, problems of
storage, and problems of selling
The investigation will be ex-
tended by professor Baker into
other farm crops, especially
those in which marketing prob
lens are important. He IS
working in cooperation with the
agricultural experiment station
and the extension division. Prac-
tically no work of this character
has been previously undertaken
by any agricultural college.

The policy Of the present admins

less price, TO reduce the high cost

limit Of American patience. The only
hope Of Democracy at present lies in
