BOOST The PRICES.
Threshcrmen Organize. and Advance
Rates for Their Work.

The cost of wheat threshing may be
boosted in Kansas as the result of ac-
ton taken late Tuesday at the Ma
tionaI hotel, by the. Shawnee County
Brotherhood of Threshermen, which
was perfected at the meeting. The
price of threshing wheat in this coun-
ty was raised from a minimum of four
to five cents a bushel to six cents and
that of threshing oats from Two to
three cents. At the same meeting sew
era1 members of the state Organiza-
ton started national brotherhood of
threshermen which Will be incor-
pOrated under the laws of Kansas.
Tim Payne of OskaIoosa, secretary
of the Kansas association, and named
as OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF the proposed
+ national organization, declared that
threshermen of the state have not
been getting enough for their thresh-
ing. 1T costs around four cents to
thresh a bushel of -Fneat and we
think that the threSher ought to get
a profit just the sam- as the banker
or merchant he said.
The question of good bridges was
discussed at the meeting. Tom Pow
ell of Silver Lake, president of the
said: I'VE want to get good bridge
and road legislation through. The

right to the road as the automobiles

population Is Growing Faster
Than Food Supply"
NEED MORE SCIENCE IN CROPS
Soil Value Could Be Increased
800 Per Cent.
"FarmerS Don't Know What
Land Is Suited For"

Chicago, June 16.-There is grave
danger that a famine will descend
upon the United States some time in
the near future, according to Prof
John NJ. Coulter, head of the depart
ment of botany of Chicago university.
Population here, said the professor, is
increasing twenty times faster than
the food supply.
1--WE ought to have enough food
stuffs IN this country to feed the
world" said Professor Coulter. en-
stead, we soon shall not have enough
to feed ourselves. This growing dis
crepancy between food production and
population is the basis of the high cost
of living.
-Four remedies present themselves
to prevent famine in the United States
First we should develop scientific
methods of soil cultivation. We must
manipulate the soil properly, and farm
1ntensively, as the Europeans do BY
scientific treatment of the soil crops
can be increased 800 per cent in the
United States.
Crops by Areas.
Second, we must plant on every
area the crop which will give the max
1mum yield in that section. Stop
planting wheat in corn land and don't
try to raise potatoes in swamps. Too
many farmers plant their crops with
out knowledge of what their land is
suited for.
1--WE must, in the third place, de-
velop drouth resisting crops. This is
the work of the professional botapist
and is to be accomplished through ex-
pertinent.
'"Then, at last, we must produce
disease resisting crops, for plants,
| like animals, are subject to ills of the
flesh. This, too, is the work Of the
botaniSt.
IF these suggestions are carried out
with reasonable thoroughness the high
cost of living will vanish, as concerns
fOodStuffS."
