A report giving the experience Of
several hundred Farmers in the use
Of tractors has just been published
by Secretary Houston. of the Depart
fent of Agriculture The report
gives the advantages Of the farm
tractor on three main points:
The first Is "the ability of the trac-
Tor to do the heavy work and to do it
quickly, thus covering the desired
acreage within the proper season"
This the Department considers the
Of man-labor and the doing away
with hired help" is placed next.
'.T' i, ability to pillow to a good depth,
especially in hot weather" is placed

third
Other advantages mentioned in the
report are the economy of operation,
the displacement of horses, and the
ability to use the tractor day and
night The report favors the smaller
and less expensive tractor over the
larger tractor. Smaller tractors,
such as the Buckeye Junior, of
Anderson, Ind, are recommended for
farms of two hundred crop acres or
less. The experts say they can be
operated proftably on farms up to
$50 crop acres.
What An Expert Says:
"More than 10000 tractors were in

use last year." says G. B. Louder
back, tractor expert recently in con-
ference with government authorities
in Washington. "The vast majority Of
these were the light and Inexpensive
tractors Those tractors are light
enough to spare bridges and culverts.
They will not pack the well-tilled
land, and yet they are powerful
enough to pillow to depth of eight
or nine inches. The tractor turns up
practically virgin soil, thus enabling
the American farmer to increase his
output, equalling the production OBJ
tanned q by the European farmer
through the use of enormous quan-
titles of fertilizer"

ONLY FEW RAINS
No General Precipitation in
Kansas During Last Week.
Condition of Crops in State Be-
coming More Serious.

Oro,,tt and excessive heat continues
in ALI parts of Kansas except Re"
counties that received locally heaNS
rains This week. according to the sum
mary of weather and crop conoltiohs
for the week ending TUESDAY lsSu@U
today by the weather bureau ~
general rain has fallen over the state
since June IS and conditions are gen
orally becoming serious.
Corn has been badly damaged IN al
parts. Some south central and SOUTH
western counties where the drouth
has been most severe, report the crop
is practically ruined as far as gram
is concerned, while northern ana east
ern counties report that II rains snoulo
come soon there is possiblllty OF Sc
curing from half to third or crop
In some places cutting corn for fod-
der has begun and few farmers IN
the central part of the state are filling
their silos with 1t.
The sorghum crops are also suffer-
ing but the effect of the drourn SO
far has chiefly been to stop their
growth, and with rains reasonably
soon they will make a fair yield of
grain.
Pastures have dried up except in a
few localities that have been favored
by local rains. and in bottom lands.
The third cutting of alfalfa is about
finished in the south central counties,
where it was very light. Elsewhere 1t
will hardly be worth cutting until more
rain falls. The dry weather has been
favorable for making prairie hay,
which is an excellent crop.
Gardens and truck patches have
about dried up except where irrigated
and in some places apples are drop
ping badly on account of the unfavor-
able weather.
Threshing is mostly over in the
eastern part of the state and about
half done in the western. In most
places the crop is turning out WELL the
quality of the yield in the northwest
ern counties being reported to be the
best ever known.
The ground has become so dry and
hard that blowing is very difficult and
it has generally been given up until
rains fall, except where tractors are
used.
Report From Washington.
Washington, D. c., Aug. Show
ers caused some improvement in the
condition of corn in parts of the Ohio
and central Mississippi valleys, but the
crop has deteriorated steadily in most
of Oklahoma. Missouri, Nebraska and
Kansas. except a few scattered locali-
ties where showers occurred.
The weather was generally favor
able for corn in the eastern and north
ern states and the early crop is ma
turing north to Arkansas and South
Carolina.
Harvesting grain and hay continued
under favorable conditions. Damage
by rust and blight increased in the
spring wheat area. and the high tenn
perature was unfavorable to oats in
the extreme north. 'tt---rs-
The weather was mostly favorable
for flax buckWheat truck crops and
fruit in the north and east.
Potatoes were damaged by the high
temperature in the central and north
portions.
Meadows. pastures, gardens and
fruits need rain in the central portion.
Tobacco and sugar beets are gener-
ally improving except in a few locali-
ties where rain is needed.

C0NFEREES FAIL
To AGREE ON BILL

Washington, D. c., Aug. 7.-House
conferees on the army appropriation
bill today finally declined to yield on
the Hay amendment to the articles OF
war which would exempt retired Of
ficers and men from the military Grim
inal code and Senator Chamberlain
thereupon submitted to the senate the
conference report with a disagreement
on that provision.
AS reported the measure carries
$267, 900 for the reorgahized regu-
lar army and national guard during
the coming year, reduction from
1913 100000 carried in the bill as it
passed the senate.
Representative Hay saw President
Wilson early in the day but later said
the army bill was not mentioned.
Representative Hay later presented
the report to the house. The bill, as
it now stands, retains the $2,O00,000
appropria ton for relief of families of
national guardsmen. and regular army
enlisted men in service in the Mexi-
can emergency. The Reed amendment
to appropriate $14,0O0,0O0 for increas.
ed pay for service on the Mexican bor-
der was stricken out.

Geneseo. ILL.,, Aug. 7.--After care.
fully selecting the death scene, Mrs.
Clinton Spradling, % years old, wife
of farm hard near Cambridge, Sat.
urday afternoon drowned herself and
two small children in the Hennepin

Mrs Spradling and her babies ate a

the banks Of the canal, then she
wrapped clothesline around the two
children, attached the line to her own

Saturday morning Mrs. Spradling
told her husband she was going to
take the children to Geneseo where
she said, they were to join friends and
spend the day in picnicking at the
canal, where they had been a week
ago on fishing trip.
