Wide arkings Save Money

With much paving going about to start

wide parkways all residence streets which not
main highways of through traffic and which carry no
lines
In order to have successful parkways, continuous
and properly maintained it is essential that they be
under the care and control Of the city government
through its park department Very narrow parkways
are not worth the expenditure necessary for special
service, and not economical to care for with
the municipal park forces But when property owners
desire to put parkways of suitable width the city
government viii take full charge Of their construction
and planting, and viii for them ever afterwards
To do this, a special water service is necessary,
wholly independent of the individual domestic service
It IS necessary to grade and ferthze the ground and
plant grass in uniform variety, and shrubs. The
city park department takes full charge Of this and the
cost to the property OF construction and upkeep

private control.
ANY property satisfy himself about the
wisdom of parked streets if he will only walk along
Rio Grande Arizona, Nevada street, or MagOffin

The wilt disease o I cotton.
which has been very prevalent
this season, has caused heavy
losses to many southern farm
ers 1t has proved serious
problem in some sections
where not only has the disease
materially reduced the Yields
but has pr d TO fields not
known to DC previously inject
ed Already this disease is
present in thousands OF acres
of the best cotton lands OF the
Sonth and may prove destruc-
i've for an indefinite number OF
years. These facts should
serve to direct attention TO the
valuable work that is beng
carried on for the improves
ment OF certain varieties OF
resistant cotton for the control
of this disease.
Much Of the wilt resistant
cotton grown in the South is OF
doubtful quality and resist
ance which is probably due to
the common practice among
farmers OF securing seed from
their neighbors who have sue
Icessfully grown cotton on dis
eased fields. The tarmet who
thus purchases seed, supplies
Others, in turn. the following
season. 10 this method OF
distribution there are so many
chances for deterioration and
mixing at the gins and else
where that the originally highly
resistant cotton soon loses It's
good qualities. The reputa-
tation of the best resistant cot
ION may, in this way, be al
stake because the deteriorated
strain often retains the name
OF the original variety. la or
der TO maintain resistance tin
cotton careful breeding is nee
essary. Every farmer who
mas cotton wilt on his farm
does not have the time or it is
not properly qualified to carry
on systematic breeding work,
bur he may take advantage Of
the work that is being done by
the use of we'll bred seed.
Several years ago Depart
ment specialists realized that
to supply the demand good
wilt resistant seed must be
produced on a larger scale. A
cooperative agreement was en-.
tered into to breed and grow

defeated for the nomination Of
prosecuting attorney in 1888.
In 1889 the firm of Teasdale, In

with the late Judge w. B. Teas
dale and R. j. Ingraham. The
firm remained Cowherd & Ingra-
ham for many years after Judge
Teasdale's death, but recently
was enlarged to Cowherd, Ingra-

under the administration Of Ben

first assistant, serving in that
capacity two years.

William S. Cowherd died Sun

several months ago for treat

The following resume of Mr..

Kansas City Journal:
William Strother Cowherd was
born September I, 1860, on his
grandfather's farm, which lies
between Lees Summit and Blue
Springs, in Jackson county. He
was the son of Charles ]. and
Emily Strother Cowherd. His
grandfather, a pioneer from
Virginia, settled in 1886 on the
farm which passed down to the
son.
Mr.. Cowherd often said that he
got his early education where
ever it could be found" Some Of
it was obtained from a little log
school house, some from news
