CHANGEABLE WEATHER.

The past week has been one of
many changes in the weather. Last
Tuesday night and all day Wednesday
the rain came down in torrents, and
during that time over two inches of
rain fell in this locality. This seems
to have been general throughout Wis
cOnsin, and in some places was accom-
panied by very heavy wind. At
Marshheld it assumed the velocity of
a hurricane, buildings being blown
down and store fronts demolished.
The Wisconsin river was sent up
booming and it reached within sew
eral feet Of flood stage. Friday in
Wausau was clear and cold, but the
wind blew gale all day. and limbs of
trees were scattered all about the
city but no real damage resulted. On
Saturday afternoon the first snow
storm visited us: it kept up during
the night and by Sunday morning
there was six inches on the ground
and everybody had to get busy and
shovel of their walks. 1t looked like
real winter. While Sunday morning
opened clear and cold clouds covered
the sky later and the snow remained.
Several inches more of snow fell last
night. 1t will perhaps disappear. but
snow has been known to come here
in November and stay until the fol-
lowing April.

RELIEVES THE WORST
CASES OF CATARRH
Think "Hyomei the most Wonderful
Treatment for Catarrh Ever
Discovered"

DO not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; it cannot be cured
in that manner. The only way in
which this too common disease can be
fully relieved is through a direct ap-
picatiOn to the affected parts that
will kill the bacilli Of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Breathing the air Of IIyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this. 1t is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for ca
tarrh that has ever been discovered.
The complete Hyomei outfit is mex
pensive and consists Of an inhaler
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect in
slant relief in ordinary cases, but for
chronic and deep-seated cases Of Ca
tarrh, longer use may be necessary,
and then an extra bottle Of HyOmei
can be obtained for trifing sum. 1t
is not alone the best lit might be
called the only method Of treating
catarrh. but it is also the most eco
nOmica.
w. w. Albers has 50 much conf
dence in the power Of Hyomei to re-
lieve catarrh, that he will for a lin
tied time, sell this medicine under
his personal guarantee to refund the
money if the purchaser can say that
it did not benefit.

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
OF agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $180,000,000 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
OF agriculture.
The problem is q monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for ali
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans Of marketing. but does not be-
lleve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other NE consider the work
of farm DEMONSTRATORS valuable and
we ask that governmental and com
mercial agencies kseekfng to help US.
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but 5Pe believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side Of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by oVepprDduction of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tie enterprises by the merchants load
lug their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can We develop agricul-
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus OF products.

Military Retreats.

Once at an evening reception in Ben

Locust Eaters.

While the locust is essentially a
plant devourer and famine breeder,
says the Christian Herald, there are
many we'll authenticated cases in his
tory showing that populations reduced
to the last extremity have utilized the
destructive insect as food. Diodorus
Siculus relates that an Ethiopian tribe
was known as AcridOphagi c'eaterS of
lOcuStS'I. while Aristotle writes of a
certain part of Greece where the peO-
pie regarded them as deIicacie Lay

graved monuments pictures of dried

not believed that any race today eats
them. They are regarded everywhere
in the east as an abhorrent calamity.

Palestine is held TO he a forerunner of

abundance of moisture, crops Will
fairly jump during the warm months
of July and August.
I'm some states there is barely time
to mature crops when all conditions
are favorable. The Kansas farmer,
even as late as July has ninety-day
corn to fall back on; feterita will ma
ture in IS to 80 days whether it rains
after It is planted or not; dwarf kafir
can be depended upon to mature in
from a week to ten days earlier than
standard kafir; milo is a crop that
will produce big yields of grain in 80
days or less; Freed sorgo will make
grain in 80 to So days, and Kansas
orange cane will produce big yields of
forage when planted as late as July 1"
Plenty of Time-Borman.
T. A. Borman, editor of the Kansas
Farmer and former president of the
Kansas State Fair association, says:
There is plenty of time yet in
which to produce crop of early corn
or grain sorghum.
do not replant stands Of one-third
or better. Better save poor stand
already well started and plant enough
more acres to make up the differ
ence.
PLANT thin for grain-thin plant
ing will give greatly increased crop
assurance.
For roughage,. row-planting sor-
ghums will give the most certain re-
suits.
''Thin-planted crops will grow fast
err than thick-planted, and rapid
growth is now required.
Surface planting will help along,
too in sections in which the lister
furrow is not needed as a safeguard
against soil blowing.
Generally it will be near July 1
before fields in which the spring
planted crops have been drowned can
be replanted under most favorable
conditions for producing crop.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-06-26

First, the ground must become dry
enough to work. Then in many fields
it will require several civilizations to
destroy the weeds. 1t is to be re-
membered that it is foolish to plant
late corn or sorghum in weedy
ground.
Now weeds cannot be killed if the
land is worked too wet. If the seed
is planted in a wet, cold seed bed,
there is danger of it failing to grow
so in spite of the lateness of the sea-
son it would seem advisable to await
the more favorable conditions for
planting. There is no time now to
make amends for another failure this
season, so the seasons grain feed de-
ponds upon the result of the planting
yet to be made.
Zone hundred days of growing
weather will mature early corn, rea-
sonably pure strains of standard
kafir, all dwarf kafirs and milo and
pure feterita.
Some Frost Figures.
The average date of the first kill
ing frost in the fall in the southern
half of Kansas is October 5 to 20,
and for the northern half October L
to 1 5, the earlier date applying to the
northwest corner of the state. +

PUT OFF GAS HEARING.
Case POstpOned-New Com
pany Offers Ten Cent Rate.

Wichita, Kan. June 26.-Testimony
was heard by the Kansas State Util-
tiles Commission here Friday in a
fight being waged on allowing a sec
ond pipe line company to enter Wich-
tia and use the city streets in distri-
buting gas to consumers. The hearing
was before C. F. Foley and former
Senator j. L. BristOw.
Following the taking of testimony
which required practically all day, the
commission announced that the mat
ter would be continued to July IL.
The Kansas Gas and Electric COM
pany, distributing company for the
Wichita Natural Gas company, and at
torneys for a company headed by
Walter Hennig, of ST. Louis, which is
seeking admittance, were ordered to
produce all contracts and leases per-
tanning to the purchase of gas in the
Augusta field. The documents must
be in the hands of the commission at
Topeka by July 2.
1t developed at the hearing that the
company seeking permission to distri-
butte gas in Wichita has secured four
teen large contracts and has agreed
to furnish gas at rate of ten cents
per thousand cubic feet. The Kan
sas Gas and Electric company fur
nishes gas at a much higher rate, tes
timony showed.
