LAUEca KANSAS ROAD.
Construction Imperial Project to Begin
November /.

Construction imperial PrOJect to Begin
November 1.
The Imperial Promotion & Construc-
ton company, Hal W. Neiswanger,
president, Osborne, Kansas, is the pur-
chaser of the abandoned grade of the
Gulf, Plainville & Northern in western
Kansas, it was announced today. The
company takes over the right of way,
seventeen miles long, and other proper
ty.
E A Mcfarland, Lincoln, Kan, has
been elected president of the railroad
company.
The Gulf, Plainville & Northern was
begun several years ago, but owing to
the failure of the construction COM
pany backing it 9t that time, the pro-
position was abandoned just after the
grade was ready for the rails. Inter
ested parties kept the enterprise alive
by paying taxes in hopes some other
company would take hold of the pro-
ject and put it through.
Announcement today is to the effect
that this is about to be accomplished
by the Imperial concern, which states
actual track-laying will begin no later
than November l.
The new road will run from Holy
rood, Kansas, through Ellsworth coun-
ty to Hays, so that connections may be
made with the Union Pacific. There is
a possibility the road will build north
from Hays, into Nebraska.
The builders expect to have the road
ready for operation APRIL, 1917, when
rolling stock and other equipment will
be purchased.

School Attendance.

10 HARENTS-
The Importance of regular attendance
of children at school should be empha-
sized. The amount of school work to
be accomplished in a term is based up
on the whole number of days school is
in session and it is not to be presumed
that pupils can accomplish standard
work in less time. Absence always
means loss to the pupil. He not only
misses the days lesson but is seriously
handicapped in the advance work. The
school course is continuous, each days
work being based upon and presuppOs-
ing the previous days work
Pupils should not be kept out of school
except in case of sickness or absolute
necessity. Outside work, visits, plea
sure trips, ETC., should be so arranged
as not to interfere with school attend
ance- Absence means not only a loss
In school work but minimizes the i'm
portance and seriousness of school
work and tends to cultivate the habit
of shirking. The pupil should feel that
it is his business to be in school every
day during the session unless unavoid-
ably kept out. He should learn ear ly
in life to stick to his job.
Hereafter, in the Hays Public schools,
excuses for avoidable absence viii not
be accepted and pupils absent without
good reason will run the risk of being
failed at the end of the month or term
This applies to all grades, including the
High school. c. A. ShiveIy, Supt

Il is folly to deny that boil
weeyil will seriously affect the
cotton crop in this county. There
are enough now in many sections
to furnish next year a full crop
if they are not destroyed. From
the advice of those who know,
they may be destroyed just now.
They are in and around the bolls,
leaves and stalk. They live dur
ing the winter in rubbish. To
destroy the rubbish destroys
them. This can be done by cut
ting the stalks with disc harrow
and then plowing the ground.
They are thereby all turned up
and covered up, so that the win
ter's cold will end them. They
gather along fence rows, old
stumps and such hiding places.
After blowing the ground, if it
can be done in November, a crop
of winter oats should be sown,
which will greatly supplement
the shortage of work stock feed
next summer, when corn will be
worth $l.50 per bushel.

STATES COUNTY AGENTS
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING
Reports From West Tennessee
Point to Much valuebIe Farm
Demonstration Work.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 4, 1916
Fifty farm demonstration agents from
all parts of the State, meeting here
in the library Of the University Of
Tennessee, closed their annual session
with a statement of plans for the
coming year. More live stock suited
to the conditions of the individual
counties will be encouraged Com
munity meetings will be held to dis
cuss the affairs Of the county and for
the purpose Of getting acquainted.
Farmers will be assisted in their crop
rotations in order that all counties in
Tennessee may build up their soils.
Several counties have just employed
agents, and these men have had the
benefit of the discussions and reports
at this annual meeting. Farm DEM
onstrations are one part of the ex-
tension work in agriculture carried
on by the cooperation Of the U. s.
Department Of Agriculture. the Col
lege of Agriculture Of the University
eff Tennessee, the State Board Of Ed
ucation and several other organiza-
tions. Once each year the entire
field force meet at Knoxville to make
their reports and to discuss plans for
the future.
H. D. Tate, state leader Of county
agents, presided at the sessions and
brought before the county agents,
because of his thorough training and
experience, many valuable sugges-
tions. Reports were made by the
agents for their counties and by the
district agents for their sections of
Tennessee. H. S. Nichols is the dis
trict agent for West Tennessee, j. M.
Dean for Middle Tennessee and D. 7.
Hardin for East Tennessee.
West Tennessee has made much
progress during the past year, ac-
cording to the report made by Mr..
Nichols. A larger acreage is under
cultivation by demonstration methods
now than ever before. Mr.. Nichols
reports 10000 acres all told farmed
by men who are using the best known
methods of soil cultivation. One
thousand six hundred and sixty farm.
ers have devoted some part of their
farms to community demonstrations

the lips of joe to quiver, as he
knew something was doing.
Clem soon warmed up to his sub
ject Of answering Joe. Joe inter-
rupted and said it was not fair for
him to speak without letting him
know. Glenn retorted: Keep your
seat, Joe. You askad anyone to re-
ply, and am going to do the job"
And from accounts he did the job
successfully, fguratively Chewing
him up and splitting him out" amid
the applause Of the crowd. He
showed up Wilson's Mexican affairs
in most telling manner, as only
Glenn Lea can do. From the crowd
we surmise that the friends of Clem
knew what was coming and cheered
him to the echo. 1t was the first
time, as was said by a prominent
democrat, that they ever saw Joe
Johnston knocked off the limb.

TO PROTECT HOGS
IN TENNESSEE
Rules Made BY the State De-
partment of Agriculture
Will Help Farmers
HOG CHOLERA is DANGEROUS
Points Outlined in These Rules Can BE-
Made Basis for Good Livestock
Farming-Santation an important
Factor in Keeping Hogs Healthy.

Millions of dollars have been lost
on farms in the United States through
the ravages of hog cholera. Tennes
see has lost her share. Some sections
OF the state have been threatened with
, the determination of all hogs.
Hog cholera is highly contagious
and for that reason rules to govern
conditions within a state are neces
sary. In Tennessee an order embrac
ing all of the recognized rules for the
proper regulation of hog cholera has
been issued from the state department
of agriculture and is signed by H. X
Bryson, commissioner of agriculture
and M. Jacob, state veterinarian
This order states
That hogs infected with or exposed
to hog cholera shall not run at large
or be driven on ranges, commons or
public roads nor have access to run
ming water. Such hogs must be con-
fined in strict quarantine.
Dead Hogs Dangerous, Tool
That carcasses of hogs that have
died of cholera must be sent to rem.
dering tank or completely burned on
the premises.
That hogs vaccinated by the serum
simultaneous (serum and virus) meth
od' must be confined in strict quaran-
tine for a period of at least twenty
one days.
That all public stock yards, abat-
toir pens or similar places in the state
are hereby placed in .quarantine--as
regards the handling swine-and all
persons, firms or corporations are pro-
hibited from removing swine there
from for any purpose other than i'm
mediate slaughter.
That no person shall use virulent
blood (virus) from cholera infected
hogs in vaccinating hogs against
cholera, unless said person holds a
written permit issued by the state
veterinarian since February 10th, 1916.
That no person, firm or corporation
shall distribute, sell or use virulent
blood (virus) from cholera infected
hogs unless said person, firm or cor
poration holds written permit issued
by. the state veterinarian since Feb
ruary 10th, 1916.
That no person, firm or corporation
shall distribute or sell virulent blood
(virus) from cholera infected hogs to
any person, firm or corporation not
holding written permit issued by the
state veterinarian since February 10th,

blowing, while difficult to put into
practice, is beneficial, for on fields
that have been fall plowed, the crops
show up to much better advantage
than on other fields. About 16,500
acres in West Tennessee have been
fall plowed. Purebred seed has been
used in planting 1857 cotton and
corn fields. The section harrow has
been used to greater extent than
ever before, and has been successful
in keeping down weeds and grass.
The section harrow covers much more
land in accomplishing the same work
than any other implement. Legumes
have been planted by 388 men who
have worked in cooperation with the
county agents in demonstrating the
value of such crops to the county.
Crimson clover, one of these legumes,
has been hard to get this year, but
the farmers Of West Tennessee are
by no means discouraged since they
realize the value of it to them 1t is
used chiefly as grazing crop in
West Tennessee.
Mr.. Nichols pointed to the fact
that. with the crimson clover seed
selling at $500 bushel, farmers
must save their own seed. This past
year, to the best of knowledge, over
1000 bushels of crimson clover seed
were saved for the farms on which
they were produced. To assist the
soil 10 producing legumes, West Ten
nessee has imported almost 5000
tons Of limestone into the counties
having agents. For the immediate
benefit of the whole family, an ade-
quate garden has been made possible
on many farms in order that the fam
lily may, from their own soil, feed
themselves.
In speaking of the live stock de-
velopment Of West Tennessee, Mr..
Nichols gave credit to the banks, rail-
roads, business men, business mems
clubs and educators for much assist
ance. One hundred aud seven pure
bred bulls, POI pGrebred heifers,
3,l75 purebred hogs have been
brought into counties during the past
year. Eight live stock associations
have been organized, the purpose of
which is to increase the liva stock
possibilities of the counties concerned.
The Improvement of gully lands,
the terracing Of hillside farms, the
boys corn clubs, and farm inspection
trips were also treated in Mr.. Mich
ols' report.
