DROP FARM ADVISOR PLAN
Not Enough Time This Spring to Put
It In Operation, Says Kyle

The farm advisor plan will be
given up for this spring, at least, says
H. G. Kyle, president of the farsi
ers' institute, the organization which
has been considering the plan. A
meeting was to have been held here
today, but because of the roads,
which are as bad or worse than they
ever have been, the farmers were
unable to be present.
1T will be some time before we
can all get together" Mr.. Kyle add
ed, "and by that time 1t will be too
late for us to adopt plan and get
a man here in time to benefit US any
this spring. So we will drop the
idea for now and will take it up
later in the fall or next winter; at
least in time for the spring work

GIRLS CHORUS Is TO
CONTEST FOR $500 PRIZES

The following account OF the con-

which the Abilene high school girls
chorus is 20 contest, IL OF interest.
The Eisteddfod, or all-kansas
singing contest which is TO be a part
of Emporia's music festival during
the last week of April, harks back
10 the popular Welsh institution OF
that name. Some Emporia Welsh
man has just turned up an interest
ing relic in the shape OF the pro-
gram OF the Grand Eisteddfod held
in Wales in 1867. On the program
are competitions in piano. harp,
chorus singing, glees, and prizes for
essay, grafton. original musical COM
position, oil painting, and slate
wood, and stone carving. Two con-
tests would be understood by but
few Kansans: penillion singing with
the harp, or Improvisation OF verses
or music; and the prize competition
lfor the best Peithynen.
The names of judges and contes-
tants on this old program are more
familiar to Kansans: Williams, Lew
| Is, Jones. Thomas. Rees, Richards,
Davies and Samuel. An internations
nj atmosphere is contributed by the
names, Charles Smith and M. Hen
messy. The title page of the program
announces the Ivy Bush hotel with
special service In luncheon and
other refreshments" which accounts
for the predominance OF advertise
ments which would not find a place
in Kansas newspapers of this gen.

gold and silver medals, scholarships
and cash prizes. The contests be-
gan at ten in the morning and at
six In the evening.
The Emporia Eisteddfod is open
to any Kansas high school, and cash
prizes will be given to the amount
of $500. F. A. Beach, head OF the
music department of the State Nor
