Conductors on Owenton Line

To the Editor of The Age-HeraId
 Referring to letter of Rev. l.. C. Branscomb, which appears in The Age Herald of the 10th inst. commenting on statement made by Copt. J. D. Dickson in regard to conductors on Owenton- Ensley car line.
 I wish to indorse what Dr. Brans- comb writes, and to state further that since September, 1908, I have been liv- ing on the same street in Owenton that Dr. Branscomb now lives on, mak- ing one or two trips daily, with the ex- ceptfon of Sundays, and frequently making special trips over the Owenton- Ensley line, and not only have I been courteously and kindly treated by the different conductors on this line but in addition to this have never noticed any passenger treated otherwise. My business takes me over all lines in the city, and I know that the conductors on the Owenton- Ensley line are as courteous, kind and obliging as are to be found on any line. Yours truly.

ICE DAMAGED WHEAT
IN THIRTEEN COUNTIES

The one to three inches of ice
and snow which covered the eastern
half of the state did not damage
the wheat, according to reports that
have been received at the Topeka
government weather office. LOCAL.
ties in which the thickest coating Of
ice was found were not in the wheat
raising section of Kansas. In some
of the counties toward the western
line of the state the snow brought
much needed moisture.
Toward the south central portion
reports indicate there may have
been possible damage, but no ser
ious injury was done, it is believed.
The following counties are those in
which some damage may have been
done: Barton, Stafford, Rice, Saline,
Mcpherson, Reno, Harvey, King

TESTING ASSN, AS EXAMPLE
Mcpherson County Farmers Urged
to Do AS Dickinson Farmers

r. e. Mohler, professor OF agrl-
culture of the Mcpherson college,
in an article to the farmers OF that
county, urging them to take up
more scientific dairying and the
breeding Of thoroughbred stock,
cites Dickinson county and its COW
testing association as one Of the
foremost and active successful or
carnations of it's kind, He says
concerning the local organization:
i am glad to see the interest
that is being shown by some farm
ers Of central Kansas in the dairy
industry. | am persuaded that 1t is
no longer an industry confined TO
the eastern part of the United States
and Europe, but now near at home
NAV be seen herds that are manag-
ed and cared for as they should be,
and that are responding to this
treatment in great records OF milk
and butter production. Within sixty
miles of Mcpherson, are to be found
COWS with the best records of any
in this state, cows with 24.77 A. r..
o. seven day butter fat tests.
1.-The region just referred to Is
that surrounding Abilene. There
is located in this region a class OF
farmers that are not afraid of us
ing brains in connection with their
dairy business. On these farms are
to be seen herd books kept by the
farmers, aided by a man college
GRADUATED that is hired by the farm
ers to devote his entire time to the
work Of testing, and aiding the
farmers in any way that he can.
These men know what their cows
are doing. Several herds in this
vicinity have individual cows that
in 1914 produced sufficient pro-
ducts to net the owner above all
expenses $3.50 for the individual
COW. The above is quite a contrast
to conditions as they are to be,
found in and about Mcpherson"
