had plenty of organizations but that none
of them were as useful as they could be,
so we had meeting of representatives OF
all of them, federated Them and selected
a line of work for each"
"Say, that's great. It's a wonder that
all the other counties around don't do il"
well, perhaps they will. It's all
matter of growth and of education" The
train stopped and the men got off still
discussing community work.
Have you heard other stories of the
same kind in Kansas? They are common
in barber shops, in hotels, on trains at
picnics and even at church. And what is
bringing it about?
Using Educational Institutions.
The people of Kansas are bringing it
about by the support which they are Civ
ing to educational work and the use that
they are making of their educational insti-
tutions. The people have believed in sup
porting these institutions and in using
them They have believed that these insti-
tutons are not only for those who can
enter them as students, but for the State
as a whole. They have supported, there
fore, not only the work within the insti-
tutions, but work outside of the institu-
tions popularity known as extension work.
Particularly have they been in favor OF
extension work in agriculture and home
economics, work that has peculiar refer
ence to life on the farm. They have not
been content with incidental meetings held
here and there to discuss these problems,
but have organized farmers institutes all
over the State, 430 in number everyone
of which is visited by two or more lee
turers from the Agricultural College every
year.
Eight extension schools of weeks
length in agriculture and home economics,
thirty-five five-day schools in home eco
Monies, and eleven two-day poultry
schools have been held in as many COM
munites since November 1914 Other
communities are planning for many more.
Community welfare organizations have
been effected at many points, and farm
bureaus and county agents have been set
at work in ten counties.
Extending Extension Work.
What the people Of Kansas want to
have they are willing to pay for, and
their representatives are responsive to
their wishes The recent legislature
made an appropriation of $4,000 year
for the next two years to the Extension
Division of the Agricultural College for
the extension work in agriculture and
nome economies. This will be used in part
in holding institutes over the State; in
extension schools; and in con-
1ucting statewide demonstrations in agri-
culture and home economics.
The State also made further appro-
oriation of $14,556 for the fiscal year 1915
md $26,686 for the fiscal year 1916 to
balance an equal appropriation for extern

THE State of Kansas believes in agri-
culture; it thinks of agriculture; it
talks agriculture. The other day
in barber shop, the barber was talking
to his patient: whats this new crop |
see you are growing in your fieldS
That's sweet clover"
"What are you going to use it for?"
ooh, use it both for pasture and for
a seed crop" How many acres of sweet
clover will it take to pasture a cow?"
Acres! Why, a cow can't keep one
acre down during the early part of the
season." What does your sweet clover
seed bring you?"
ooh, $40 to SIS bushel." "How many
bushels do you get to the acre"
From two to five, and sometimes more"
That's pretty paying crop, isn't it :"
"You bet" "How did you find out about
it?"
"Why, the county agent has been boost
ing for sweet clover in this county ever
since he came, and lots of farmers are
growing it now for pasture and to
improve the land"
In a livery barn in another county
farmers were discussing the wheat stu
alton:
"Do you have any Hessian fly this year
in your fields" mo, not l. | sowed after
the fly free date last fall
mot much fly in the county, is there"
mo, not in this county, but there seems
to be plenty of it over in the next county"
Whats the reason for that?" "Over
in that county almost every one sowed
too early In this county campaign for
the prevention of the Hessian fly has been
conducted week in and week out for three
years by the county agent and the farm
bureau cooperating with the Agricultural
College, and every farmer in the county
knows how to handle the pest"
Simple, isn't it" eyes, just disk your
land Immediately after harvest, pillow as
early as possible, sow after the fly free
date and there won't be any serious trou-

Marketing Surplus Alfalfa.


In third county dry goods merchant
and a grower were discussing their bust
ness "How has your business turned
out this year?" said the grower. Quite
well, thank you, much better than | ex-
pected."

ing what is the reason" well, my trade
has been unusually good. 1t seems that
the farmers have more money than they
used to have" "How do you account for
that?"
"We1l, for one thing, they know how to
market their product better than they did
AS an example this year the farm bureau
and the county agent decided to find the
best markets possible for the surplus
alfalfa, and to sell it in carload lots. In
other years they have been selling little
here and little there at low prices and
much has been wasted in the stack. They
located good markets in Missouri and

Carly. And no account Of the game
would be complete without telling how
Leon Galore made a hit.
Il was Charles Ebbets Day on the
Peninsula this afternoon, but none Of
the little furbelows planned material
lied. To begin with, Colonel Ebbets
did not attempt to fy in an aeroplane.
II was his intention to do so. but Frank
Kelley would not permit him. The
brass band mad 10 play a. tango tea
and could not perform at the ball park.
The Mayor also was detained else
where To make up for this. however.
the newspaper men assisted in the flag
raising.
A new flag was flung to the treeze
and the ballplayers hoistcd this. IL is
a large banner. white, with blue
stripe running around the border. and
in the corner blue field studded with
stars. Across the middle are the words
"Ebbets Field" in block letters of red
and on the top Excelsior and "In God
We Trust" The squire of Fldtbush
may carry this flag North with him. He
declared it would be shame to leave
it where so few people could see il.
The ball game between the Superbas
and the team of Stetson University
rounded out the festive afternoon. Il
was simply a slaughter Of the innoccnts,
and the Superbas won by a score Of Is
to 0. The college boys played a rag
tag and bobtall order of ball, and when
the professionals tired of the sport they
simply refused TO hit the ball any. and
when on the bases took all manner of
reckless chances.
Brooklyn made fourteen runs in the
first three innings, and could have
made twenty-five just as easily. Ca
dore, Sherry. Smith and Wheeler Dell
did the pitching. Otto Miller was up
twice and got him double and
triple.
Ed. Donald, who was drafted from
Waco last year, was sold TO the same
team this afternoon. The purchase
price was $1,000. Donald was one OF
the leading pitchers in the Texas
League last year and was highly re-
garded by Wilbert Robinson and
Charles II. Ebbets until he developed
a severe case of rheumatism. He re-
quested that he be sent back 10 his
native state and expressed a preference
for his old team.

EXCITING FINISH
IN BILLIARD GAME
Poggenburg Defeats Lord
After Struggle in Class
A Tournament.

Philadelphia. March III. F. Pog-
genburg. Of New York, to-day defeated
K. VI. Lord, of Chicago, by score OF
400 TO 800, after an exciting fnisn, IN

amateur billiard tournament, Tor the
national championship.
Poggenburg made an average OF
3 1913 and had high run OF 49,
Lords average was 9 3-43 and his high
run 70.
Remarkable uphill work by the
young Chicago player in the closing in
nings, when the veteran POggenburg
was holding an apparently lnsur-
mountable lead, was a feature OF the
contest.
At the close of the twenty-ffth in
ming the former national and interna-
tional champion had 1S9 more points
than his opponent, and needed only 81
10 complete his string. Lord slightly
decrea sed this lead in the next few in
nings. and in the thirty-irst, thirty
second and thirty-third gathered runs
Of rs, 43 and p. while POggenburg,
whose stroke was excellent in the
opening innings, missed many easy
chances.
Lord won the bank, but failed 20
score on his opening shot, leaving the
worries in good position for Poggen-
burg. who ran % and then lost one by
missing both balls. Runs OF Is, 20. 81,
80. ~. 40 and 3S brought him quickly
to the 300 mark
After making % in the twenty-third,
he failed to make double figures again
for nineteen innings. Lord tied the
score in the forty third. and looked
like winner until he missed an APP
psrently easy single rail bank.

ISOLATION Of Professional Baseball
