DOES NOT HOLD MOISTURE.
Excessive Cultivation Injuries Corn
Says Professor Salmon.

Manhattan, Kan, June 1.-Exces-
sive cultivation of corn sometimes in
jures rather than benefits the crop,
in the opinion of S. c. Salmon, assist
ant professor of farm crops in the
Agricultural college.
MANY farmers think that the main
purpose of cultivation is to prevent
evaporation from the soil and conse-
quently the drier it is the more they
cultivate says Mr.. Salmon. Recent
Investigations show that cultivation tg
conserve moisture is much less impor-
tant than previously had been sup
posed.
The essential thing in cultivation is
to kill the weeds as they utilize mois-
ture and plant food that ought to be
available for the growing crop. Weeds
use from $50 to $50 pounds of water
for every pound of dry matter pro-
duced and consequently it is important
to get rid of them before they make
much growth"
Cultivation is the principal item of
expense in the production of a corn
crop and an accurate knowledge of
the corn needs is of fundamental i'm
portance. The number of times corn
should be cultivated will depend upon
the growth of weeds and the proper
number is that which adequately con-
trolls weed growth.

M. G. Butterworth, organizer for

if she responds as well as other cities,
should furnish 200 members, accord

Mr.. Butterworth has been working
over the entire state and he says the
association is well represented in evry
town on the route. Kanapolis, Els
worth county, a town of slightly
more than. half a thousand, furnished
81 members. Every business man in
the town, including the bootblack;
joined, according to Mr.. Butterworth.
Manhattan furnished so members,
and Manhattan is only about one
tenth the size of Topeka.
Mr.. Butterworth will be in Topeka
until Saturday working for the or

DON'T SQUEEZE BLACK
HEADS DISSOLVE THEM

Squeezing and pinching out blackheads
make the pores large and cause irritation
then, too, after they have become hard you
cannot get all of them out. Blackheads are
caused by Accommodations of dust and dirt
and secretions from the skin and there
is only one safe and sure way and one
that never fails to get rid of them-a SIM
pie way, too-that is to dissolve them. Just
get from any drug store about two ounces
of powdered neroxin-sprinkle little on
hot. wet sponge-rub over the blackheads
briskly for a few seconds-wash off and
you'll be surprised to see that every black
head has disappeared, and the skin will be
left soft and the pores in their natural
condition-anyone troubled with these I'M
slightly bemishes should try this simple

LOSS IS MILLIONS
No Way to Stop Hessian Fly
This Season.
Start Now to Save Wheat Crop
Next Year.

Manhattan, Kan, June damage
to Kansas wheat by the Hessian fly is
estimated in millions of dollars by J.
W. McColloch, instructor in entomoi-
ogy, Kansas State Agricultural college.
who has inspected fields in practically
every section of the state. Thousands
of acres of wheat never will be har-
vested.
Damage is severe in the eastern
two-thirds of the state" says Mr.. NC
CoIloch. That it is serious is shown
by the way it has affected the wheat
market.
Nothing can be done to control the
insect at this time, but the farmers
should keep in close touch with the
situation. and Immediately after har-
vest start to put into practice the
methods of control that have been
found to be practical and effective
The stubble should be disked i'm
mediately after harvest. This starts
the growth of volunteer wheat and
tends to bring an early emergence of
the fly. 1t also makes blowing much
easier at a later date. Three or four
weeks after diSking the ground should
be plowed at least six inches deep and
all volunteer wheat and stubble buried.
This will also bury practically all the
flies
Prevent Damage Next Year.
The agronomy department has
shown that where the ground is pre-
pared in this manner it not only pro-
duces maximum yields, but that the
crop may be planted with safety later
in the season.
The sowing of the crop should be
delayed until the fly-free date which
the entomology department will fur
nish any farmer for his particular
section of the state. The date of safe
sowing in average years is at least as
early as the date on which wheat
should be sown to make maxim UNI
yields. To obtain the best results in
controlling the Hessian fly farmers
should cooperate in fighting the in
sects.
That many farmers are successful
in preventing serious damage by the
Hessian fly is well illustrated in the
eastern part of Mcpherson county and
the western part of Marion county this
year. In this section the control meas
ures advocated on the "HeSsian fly
special conducted by the Agricul-
tural college in cooperation with the
Santa Fe Railway company in June,
1915, were put into effect by the ma
jority of the farmers.

No open alliance has been formed
by the state house crowd in opposition
to the sentiment being created against
the program which has been in effect
for some years. But the new issue is
being most clearly defined. It will

believe it is the body of his brother
The man was standing on the station
platform and attempted to catch a
freight train as it pulled out. He lost
his balance and fell beneath the
wheels, which passed over his body
from the right shoulder to the left
hip. Both legs were cut into several
pieces. Persons on the platform at
the time of the accident did not believe
that the man was Thomas Stewart
The mangled condition of the body
made Identification impossible.
