KAFIR BEST IN EAST KANSAS.
Feterita Grows Better in Dry Country,
SAYS Professor Call.


Manhattan, Kan, May 22.-Kafir is
better adapted to eastern Kansas than
feterita because it is better able to
withstand wet weather, while feterita
is better adapted to the western part
of the state because it grows best in
comparative dry climate, according
to L. E. Call, professor of Agronomy
at the Kansas State Agricultural coll
lege, who has recently completed ex-
periments with the two plants.
"Kafir should be planted any time
between April rs and the last of May,
depending on weather conditions and
the part of the state in which the crop
is raised,'' explained Professor Call.
TT may be planted earlier in the
southern part of the state because of
the advanced season while in the
north the late spring prevents early
planting.
"Feterita should be drilled a little
later than kafir. It is inclined to rot
when the soil is cool. 1t is not as well
adapted to eastern Kansas because
the excessive rainfall causes it to mold
in the shock. The western counties
are better suited to feterita on account
of the light rainfall.
Both crops require from three to
five pounds of seed to the acre if
grown for grain, but if planted for
feed, six to ten pounds should be used.
Either plant may be grown in any
good soil. Some farmers use the
poorer land for kafir and the better
land for other crops because of the
greater profits

but it is making a continual growth
which has been characteristic of
Plainville for many years. There was
little here when the State Journal cor
respondent put in his first appear
ance about 35 years ago. At that
the little ''soddy' had such a wide
name that the commercial men were
glad to be here, for they could get
good meals and a bed.
The town now has an active Com
mercial Club, and the town having
grown to business importance. the
club is making efforts to secure a
day train from Salina over the Lincoln
branch of the Union Pacific. Heavy
steel rails have been laid from Sa-
lima to Plainville, a distance of a lit
tie over 100 miles. If successful it
is believe it will materially help
both passenger and freight traffic.
The Plainville Mill and Elevator
company has contracted for improve
ments this year aggregating $4,000.
This is one of the largest Touring
mills in north central Kansas, and the
Burroughs Bros, the owners and
operators, are among the best known
