MAY REMEDY SPORT
OF BUYING PENNANT

The grand little sport of trying to
buy pennant, so lately instituted
in the American League, is in for a
drastic bit of legislation when the
magnates congregate around the Hot
Stove this coming winter, unless
something goes awry. Ban johnson
is going to have his work cut out
for him in smoothing over some of
the deals that have been pulled off
in his circuit this season, it is said
on excellent authority. Several club
owners, particularly in Washington
and New York, are going to present
some mighty strong arguments
against few magnates, with a lot
of money being permitted to corner
all the stars in the league and make
one, two or three-sided affair of
the race.
One of the many remedies sug-
gested for this latest evil is not to
let any club dispose of a player to
another club after June 2-or after
the real pennant chase gets started.
1t is practically certain that some
thing will be- done, in any event. =

THE CAL0S0MA BEETLE.

Foo to tho Gypsy Moth and imported
to Combat 1t.
The calosoma beetle, which was in
troduced into New England in order to
com bat the gypsy moth, is declared by
entomologists in the United States de-
partment Of agriculture to have firmly
established itself in it's new environ
ment.
The first of these green beetles was
sent from Europe in 1905. Between
then and 1910 little over 1000 of the
insects were. shipped to this country.
They have multiplied and spread with
extraordinary rapidity and are now so
abundant that many people in New
England are familiar with their ap-
pearance and habits.
Investigations show that these in
sects, both as beetles and as larvae,
consume enormous quantities Of the
gypsy moth larvae. They are able 10
climb the trees upon which their prey
are feeding and are most active during
the periods when the gypsy moths are
abundant. The calosoma beetle, in
fact, seems to be admirably adapted
in every way to destroying the gypsy
moth. 1t is not apparently injured by
the wilt disease which is so prevalent
in it's prey, and neither is it apparently
affected by the sprays used to control
the gypsy moth. At the present time it
is regarded as the most important of
the natural enemies Of this widespread
nest

SPRAY LATE POTATOES.

It is an old story to most po-
tato growers that the tuber cam
: not be at its best development
and Of highest quality unless the
vine can mature. The tuber is
part Of the vine--an enlarged
underground stem. If the vine
should die prematurely the tuber
is Of necessity unripe or 'green"
and cannot finish its growth.
Thus potatoes which grow on
plants that are destroyed or in
jured by blight are not unlike
green apples in quality. They
cannot be "mealy'' or Of highest
quality because they never fin
ished growing. This makes clear
:. one necessity for spraying late
potatoes which many farmers
do not consider. We must keep
the vines growing as late as pos
sible in order to have matured
or high quality potatoes. The
earlier varieties are usually eat
en- early, but the late varieties
make up the winter supply,
when good quality is most de-
sired. Thus we see the need Of
full spraying with Bordeaux
mixture in order to hold off the
blight and give the plant bet
ter chance to mature.-Rural

THE KANSAS HEN

Through all the ages the hen has
been the synonym of progress and civ
ilization. History tells US that she
cackled her sympathy to the mighty
A lexander as he wept for more worlds
to conquer; that she crossed the Alps
with Caesar and his victorious CO.
horts. We know that she landed on
Plymouth Rock with the Pilgrim
Fathers three hundred years ago. We
know that she ever accompanied the
hardy pioneer on his westward march
and daily furnishing him with the
choicest morsel on Natures menu.
With him she settled on the plains
of sunny Kansas keeping the wolf of
want from the door through scourges
of hot winds and grasshoppers. And
when her allotted time had come, her
body gave him strength to turn the
pathIess prairies into fields of golden
grain, while at night pfilowing his
tired head on her feathers. Today
her myriad sons and daughters form
one of the greatest industries of a
great state adding to the wealth of
her citizenship more than thirty mill
lions of dollars year.
1t seems fitting, then, that a day
should be set apart and designated as
kansas Hen Day that attention
of our people may be called to the
Importance and magnit ude OF the

end volunteers are called for, men

are willing to assist in this important
work, in the interest of better poul-

The parole of Stalnaker who was
sentenced from this district to the
penitentiary has called out bitter
criticism of the governor, Judge
Smith as pardon clerk says in excul-
patton that no other man in the pen
had served so long as Stalnaker for
similar crime. The writer whenever
appealed to in the matter has taken
the position that Stalnaker should
be treated neither better more worse
than others of equal turpitude. In
behalf Of a parole for Stalnaker it
was repeatedly argued to the prison
board and governor for several years
past that another man who was a
school teac her and committed his
crime in the district where he was
teaching. was sentenced to the pen
by the same judge who sentenced
Stalnaker and in the same court room
that the criminal teacher who was
also a married man, was released on
parole in short time, and is said to
be again teaching school = Judge

hour Perhaps L looked as if 1 might

How is that for combination? 1t
