FARMS TOO DRY
Work Retarded in Many Dis
tricts, but Generally o. X.
Winter Wheat Prospects in
Middle West Good.

Washington, April 6.-March wealth
er conditions were generally favorable
for farm work in most of the south
ern part of the country and also west
of the Mississippi as far north as South
Dakota and Wyoming, except that
planting was delayed in Texas by dry
weather, the national weather and
crop bulletin of the weather bureau
announced today in its first issue of
the season. Usual spring activities
have been delayed in the Ohio valley
and the middle Atlantic states. Ad-
vance of vegetation has been greatly
delayed by cold weather in the middle
eastern and southeastern states. In
the southwestern states there is lack
of moisture in the soil. Vegetation is
in advance of the season in the Rocky
mountain district.
Planting Three Weeks Early.
Cotton planting has begun in the
central and southern cotton belt, but
some early planted cotton failed to
terminate in Texas on account of the
dry weather. Planting of corn is in
progress in the southern tier of states
but generally from ten to twenty days
later than the average.
In the southern and western winter
wheat regions the winter grains are
reported in good condition and making
fected by dry weather. In the central
district late sown wheat has been con-
siderably winter killed, and it is esti-
mated that nearly one-third of the
acreage will be ployed up in Indiana
and Illinois. In the region of where
the greatest percentage of winter
wheat acreage is being abandoned
there has been an increased area
seeded to oats. Seeding has advanced
satisfactorily and there is generally a
good stand.
Seeding of spring wheat is in prog
ress at about normal dates.
Dry on Texas Ranges.
Stock on ranges for the most part
came through the winter in good con-
dition, but some exceptions are indi-
Gated in the extreme north and north
west where the winter was unusually
severe. Considerable damage is re-
ported to ranges by dry weather in

PRISONERS WELL FED
Expert Reports That Penitentiary
Fare Is All That Could Be Desired.

Prisoners at the state penitentiary
are well fed-in fact almost better
than is good for their health-accord-
ing to a report filed with the civil ser
vice commission by E. H. S. Bailey,
director of chemical laboratories, Kan
sas university. The Bailey report
states that the quantities of food are
more than sufficient and that the
quality is high class.
THE calorific value is high, in fact
higher than seems desirable for per-
sons doing the amount of labor in
volved,'' says the Bailey report. Bailey
studied food conditions at the prison
carefully. Then he took reports of
costs of prison food in 1912 and used
the cost of food stuffs at the prevailing
war prices in establishing the high
standard of efficiency under the Cod
ding management The comparison
showed that Kansas was paying more
for the daily feeding of prisoners in

the society is held and delegates are
elected to attend the national council
Because of his official position, the
elder Kirkpatrick will sit in the De-
troit meeting in June. He is deter
mined in his stand that he will not
quit under fire. So bitter has become
the fight for control, that common
gossip contends that father and son
work behind closed doors and that
every officer of the society has been
drawn into the issue and forced to
take a stand.
Want Younger Man.
Officers of the society who are OPP
posed to Kirkpatrick candidacy for
another term, contend that the pioneer
head of the society is too old to direct
and manage the big corporation in
the manner that the growing institu-
ton demands. Friends of the senior
Kirkpatrick, however, point to his rec
ord of twenty years as president of
the society. They point to the growth
in membership, the increasing
strength of the institution and the
multiplication of assets.
Kirkpatrick was asked to resign
November 8, last year. The memorial
which went to the aged head of the
society was not mere memorial. 1t
was a tribute with a double back ac-
ton KICK IN It. After reclCng the
growth of the society, it is stated,
that the executive board which pre-
pared the document resolved there
should be a change in management. 1t
then suggested that Kirkpatrick's son
take over the active management of
its affairs.
All might have been we'll had the
executive board stopped there. Among
members of the order there is a sus-
picion that the president of the So
ciety might gracefully have stepped

END SUNDAY SCHOOL SURVEY.
"Sunshine'' Dietrich Gets Recruits for
All Denominations of Mankato.

Mankato, Kan, April 6.-Paul
Sunshine" Dietrich, Sunday school
man from Lincoln, Neb., has just
closed a very spirited Sunday school
survey of the churches in this town.
Mr. Dietrich's work in connection
with Sunday schools is unique, mas
much as his methods are modern and
the results pleasing. He terms his
campaigns as Sunday school sur
veys," plats the town into districts,
organizes the workers and sends them
out to canvass for members. In this
manner every family residing in the
town is called upon and their church
and Sunday school affiliations record
ed by the various canvassers. They
are asked to attend some Sunday
school of their denominational prefer
ence.
In addition to his Sunday school
surveys, DR.. Dietrich is a Chautauqua
faVorite and during the summer
months his time is entirely taken up
with this work. On the last night of
his stay here, he delivered one of his
most popular lectures, "Shakespeare's
