FOR YOUNG FOLKS
X. S. A. C.. Plans Many Con-
tests for This Summer.
Corn Raising, Cooking, Can
ming, Pig Raising Included.

Manhattan, Kan, March 12.-Con-
tests in corn, kafir, tomato, poultry
pig feeding, sewing, cooking, garden
ing and canning are to be carried on
by the farm boys and girls of the state
this summer under the direction of
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
The boys and girls in the contest will
OF all the time spent in the contest,
and will record all expenses and re-
celpts. From the number who have
already written to Otis E. Hall, di-
rector of the boys and girls club
work, it appears that a larger num-
Der are interested in the work this
year than ever before.
In the corn and kafir contests, the
boys will select the seed, prepare the
seeded, and plant and cultivate at
least one acre. In the gardening and
canning contest the boy or girl will
grow four square rods of vegetables,
pumpkins, squash or sweet potatoes
and must can at least one-tenth of
each of the vegetables grown. In
struct1ons for canning will be fur
nished upon request.
Poultry Contests.
Matching and rearing of chicks,
feeding and developing young chicks,
or egg production are the three
projects in the poultry contest. Each
boy or girl must compete in two of
the three projects.
The pig feeding contest is new. One
or more pigs, not less than eight or
more than 2 weeks old, will be fed
to make the maximum gain and at the
same time the largest net profit The
contest will last at least four months.
In the cooking contest among the
girls, there will be several projects.
Directions and recipes will be furnish
ed to all who wish to enroll in the
contest. Here are some of the
projects: Bread making, biscuit MAX
ing; cake making, cooky making, can
ming, picking and jelly making. The
girls who enter the sewing contest
will also have several projects such as
q One-piece house dress or work
dress, work aprons, sewing aprons,
under waists and club library holders.

The WAR
Scientific Experiments in the

German Made Products Scarce
i'm the X. e. Laboratories.

Lawrence, Kan, March I'm
gray stone building which houses the
department of chemistry in the Uni
versity of Kansas, the effect of the
great war upon the operation of the
laboratories is daily made manifest.
Teachers and students who have
heretofore worked with apparatus
and chemicals produced in Germany
find themselves eitherSzin the grip of
famine atethe mercy of shipments
from abroad that arrive after months
of delay. And the prices for German
made products have scared over the
moon

can substitute, evolved by native in
genuity, has not yet been placed on
the market. Tests have shown that

sary in much research and expert
mentation. So in the meantime
laboratories must pay the price or
wait patiently the perfecting of the
American porcelain.
An Example.
Here's a fractional column used for
the refining of crude oil. 1t looks in
expensive enough. Once upon a time
it cost a half dollar, but that was be-
fore German artisans shouldered their
guns and left the women to run the
factories. Now the article sells for
$3.50, and it's cheap at that. Jena
glass of which test tubes, retOrtS ana
flashes are made, has also followed
the upward trend.
1t is impossible to secure for love
or money many finely adjusted Ger
man instruments, which at the present
time American scientists are unable
to duplicate. German scientific publ
cations, once so numerous and so
valuable in tracing development of ap-
piled science, now come as intermit-
tently as swallows in winter. In many
instances they have been discontinued
entirely.
Chemicals Cheaper.
Prices of chemicals, following the
trend of drugs, which scared into
exorbitant figures soon after war was
declared, have now settled to about
their normal level, due to the fact
that American workers have renewed
the supply. In the opinion of Univer-
sity of Kansas scientists, the shortage
caused by the war has spurred Amer
lean scientists to the production of
scientific chemicals and laboratory
products formerly exclusively manu-
featured over seas.
And in the Meanwhile the college

the behest' of his instructor, signs for
the good old days when the margin
of money to spare was not swallowed
up in extra fees caused by the war.
