the senate pending final action in the
house on other appropriations
Many Have Gone Home.
A fight over appropriations, or fail
ure of conference committees to agree,
might in the closing hours block final
consideration tonight of all bills. Yet
to hold over the week end, means
many empty seats in both the house
and senate. A number of house
members have already gone home and
failure to wind up the business of the
session at tonight's meeting, means
serious question as to a quorum in the
house Monday morning.
During the session, the house and
senate have passed $50 original bills.
OF these 21S have been signed by the
governor after passing both houses.
The mortuary record, however, is the
real feature of the session, aside from
the record of a total of 1888 bills in
troduced. This record shows a slaugh-
ter of 1,1S1 bills as follows: Original
bills killed by house committee, 542;
senate bills killed by house commit
tee, 20; original bills killed on floor
house, ga; senate bills, z; died on cal
endar, 46; original bills killed by sem
ate committees, PA; house bills killed
by senate committees, A; original bills
killed on floor, so; house bills killed
on floor, IS; died calendar, 113.
The record by time of adjournment,
will probably show two-thirds of all
bills introduced killed by some form
of legislative slaughter.
Big Bills Passed.
Among the more important meas
ures which passed both legislative
branches in the last week and have
been signed by the governor were:
Double election board law.
Pure commercial feeding stuffs act
Providing pensions for members
municipal fire departments.
Compelling all trains to stop at state
line to receive and discharge passen-
gers.
Providing for free dental inspection
in schools in cities of over 10000 pop
ulation.
Fifty year franchise act for interur-
ban railways.

Demand for City Forester.

| Good Judgment is necessary in city
tree planting for effective results
There is such thing of having toe
many trees. Scientific pruning and
care will work wonders in the gen.
eral appearance of the trees of a city
but indiscriminate butchering often
does more harm than good.
There is considerable demand al
the present time, especially among
certain Topeka club women, for city
forester
J. L. Pelham, secretary of the State
Horticultural society, who has made it
point to observe local conditions, be-
lieves that a forester would be a valu-
able asset to the city.
Wholesale Butchery Practiced.
MANY trees die in Topeka" he said,
because of wholesale butchery-they
simply bleed to death. Topeka has
be preserved. L have seen many good
trees ruined.
"So-called professional tree men
sometimes do actual damage to the
trees aside from charging eXorbitant
prices. They should be required to
take an examination when they come
to the city to operate, and should be
able to show a permit when they ap-
ply to property owners for work.
This city is big enough to main
tain a forester under the park COM
missioner. He would be worth sew
eral times more to the city than the
in salary
Suggestions for Tree Planting.
N A. Crawford, in charge of the
department of industrial journalism,
Kansas State Agricultural college,
should be given credit for the follow
ing suggestions relative to tree plant
ing:
Trees should be planted as early in
the spring as possible, certainly before
the buds begin to burst. If one is set
ting out only a few trees in his yard or
along the street, good sized ones
should be used. Evergreens should be
3 or 4 feet tall, while other kinds
should be fully feet in height. Trees
of this size cost too much for planting
in very large groups.
The soil in which trees are grown
must be loose and mellow. For each
tree a hole should be dug large enough
to allow the roots to lie naturally. The
tree should be planted about inches
deeper than it grew in the nursery.
Two inches of loose soil ought to be
left in the bottom of the hole. The
roots are bedded in this and are then
covered with several inches of mellow
soil which is tramped over them Two
inches of the top soil should be left
loose for mulch.
Use of Water in Planting.
Water should be used if the ground
is in good condition at planting time
as it is likely to be this year. Under
dry conditions, the hole should be fill
ed with water two days before plant
ing time. Water should never be

| What might be termed the expert
mental stage in Kansas development in
| tree planting is a thing of the past. 1t
! is true that varieties of trees will be
introduced from elsewhere, some of
which will prove to be adapted to the
Kansas conditions, but there are now
| many known kinds that are especially
fitted for growth in some section OF
the state. In many instances trees
suitable for eastern Kansas will not
thrive in the western portion of the
state, and likewise there are varieties
we'll adapted to the peculiar soil and
climatic conditions of the west that
would fare but poorly further east.
More Careful Selection Needed.
Where there has been failure in
past years in Kansas tree planting it

day session. Thus the legislature will
, have made a bid for a record in length
of session and responded with fewer
really important laws and more whole
than any session since the organiza-
ton of the state.
The grand total of legislative ex-
pense has not as yet been accurately
$4,000 mark The clerks and gen
eral legislative employees today drew
their final checks. They remained on
the pay roll a total Of 68 days and
for their services. Each of the mem
bers received $50 for a fifty-day ses-
sion and have worked the remaining
8 days without financial reward and
at dead loss SO far as their meal
tickets were concerned. In addition
to their total of $3.50, the MEM
bers also received their mileage
and extra pay voted for telephone,
postage and telegraph.
Few Important Laws.
AS the record stands today, less
than score of really important bills
have been enacted into law Legis-
lative observers attribute the failure
to pass important laws to the fact
cent campaign. Yet some of the real
party promises-pledges of all parties
were not only overlooked, but actu-
ally beaten on the floor of one or both
branches of the legislature Among
these were the initiative and referen-
dunn and the presidential preference
primary bill.
Many important bills on the caIen-
dars were overlooked in the closing
hours of the session. Both the house
and senate devoted their chief atten-
ton to appropriation measures, bills
which had already been passed and
gone to conference, or bills original
ing in one house and amended at the
other end of the hall. The revision

SEEKS CHEAPER BREAD.
Even kansan Is Trying to Find Sub
stitute for Wheat

Lawrence, Kan, March 20.-How to
find a flour which will be just as good
and at the same time cheaper than
that now used is the task that Prof.
E. E. S. Bailey, of the University of
Kansas chemical department, has set
for himself
In his experiments he is using com
to take the place of a part of the
wheat flour and is attempting to find
a proportion which will make just as
good bread.
If the price of wheat remains near
the $3.50 per bushel mark with corn
costing but half as much, the new
flour would mean the saving of con-
siderable money.

Already $50 of the leading cities of

eggs will probably hatch but pullets
raised from such eggs will probably
lay abnormal eggs.
Never wash eggs before setting
them. Keep the eggs in a dry place
at temperature between So and 65
degrees, turning them at least once
every other day. An egg in which the
germ has become fastened to the shell
will seldom hatch. The germ spot is
always in the uppermost part of the
egg and if the egg is not turned, the
germ will stick to the shell if evap-
grafton takes place.
The eggs should be gathered at
least twice a day unless they are to be
put into the incubator Immediately.
