TO REDUCE H. C. |.
Use of Back Yard Gardens Are
Urged by Kansas Board.
Keep Children Out of Mischief
During Spare Time.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. "A plea for
the back yard as the means of reduc-
ing the high cost of living and of de-
of Kansas is voiced in the last report
of the state board of educational ad-
ministration. The report says:
The high cost of living and the big
loss from idleness in our children are
problems that the schools should be
reaching far more effectually than
they now are. 1t is not, as we have
ren's outside time in even supervised
play. The school garden has its place,
but it has the danger of assuming the
artificiality of the schoolroom.
I'VE have back yards and front
yards and thousands of vacant lots
that are an eye sore to the commun-
ity. The fertilizer and the water is
available to make the front yard a
thing of beauty and the back yards
not only beautiful, but very profitable
to the family.
IN place of the withered vegetables
that come from the hucksters at fancy
prices, it is possible to have without
cost the crispest and freshest of vege-
tables and at the same time to give
the child the best training possible in
applied botany and biology, and to cul-
tivate in him the beauty and produc-
tive instincts.
Use Children's Waste Time.
"As we indicated in our last report,
our training schools for the children
below the high school have been inter-
ested in this work, and as an object
lesson to these teachers who are to
go out to the schols of the state and
to the school boards of the state on
this method of utilizing the waste time
of the children and the waste places
of the cities, and in training the child
rem for productivity as citizens and the
elimination of waste, the legislature
should make an appropriation of $500
per year to be used as prizes to pro-
mote this work at the Normal Train
ing schools.
mo greater contribution could be
made to Kansas than to utilize the
waste time of her boys and girls and
to cultivate and beautify the waste
places in our cities"

FLY TAKES EARLY WHEAT.
Grain Sown Before October 1 May
Have To Be Replanted.

Mcpherson, Kan, Nov. County
Agent v. NJ. Emmert reports that
there are some fields where the wheat
was sowed early in which the Hessian
fly is busy. A few farmers are plow-
ing the fields over and will SOW again.
The effect of the fly appears in those
which were sowed before the first of
October.
The wheat had come up and the
stalks are still green but investigation
will convince one that it will be so
badly infested that it may not even
live thru the winter. No effects are
seen in fields planted after the first of
October

MAKE HALF MILLION BRooMs.
Five Hundred Tons of Broom Corn
Raised in Stevens County.

Hugoton, Kan, Nov. 2.-The 500
tons of broomcorn produced in Stew
ems county this year, when made into
brooms, could be used for sweeping
the floors of all the buildings in the
United States, if they were handed
about sufficiently. A ton of broom
corn will make from 1000 to LOO
grooms, it is claimed. and a half mil
lion brooms will do lot of sweeping
The price received for this brush
probably ranges from 500 to 5000 a
ton, depending on the time marketed
and the quality, and adds about $75,-
900 to the amount of money put in
circulation in the county. Manufac-
tured brooms are high. of course, but
when the broom corn grower gets a
good price ne buys more of the COM
modify that some other fellow pro-
duces.
