HIS FRIENDS BUSY
4. r. Pleased With Loyal Sup
port of Friends.
Is Told Republicans Organized
for Him in 80 States.

OYSTER Bay, n Y, May 2S.-In re-
ply to George Won L. Meyer, former
secretary of the navy, who officially
notified him that the Roosevelt Re
publicn committee. with membership
insfffirty states, had been organized to
work for his nomination for the preSl-
dency by the Republican party,
Colonel Roosevelt enumerated the
principles for which he declared he
was fighting. adding they are the
principles you are organizing to sup
port and with all my heart 1 welcome
such support"
Mr.. Meyer headed a delegation of
twenty-five members of the commit
tee.- In his speech of notification, he
told Mr.. Roosevelt that one of the pur-
poses of the committee was ito aid
the Republican party in going before
the country reunited and in null
strength with a candidate who is list
ened to and trusted by the great mass
of the people"
Colonel Roosevelt's reply was as fol-
lows:
Great Crisis at Hand.
Il am naturally deeply touched and
pleased by your action. L accept 1t
absolutely in the spirit you have taken
it. You are for me because you re-
gard me as representing and embody-
ing the aggressive movement for
thorough. going Americanism, and
thorough going preparedness. Your
devotion is to the cause and to the man
only insofar as he for the time being
embodies the cause. That is precisely
the attitude [ took in my Trinidad
statement. I now hold and shall con-
time to hold this a great time of
crisis in our country's history because
it Is great crisis in the history of
the world. If we are unprepared, if
we are split and sundered by rival
ries of creed, of section and national
origin; if our country's action is to be
conditioned by helplessness without
any of the hyphenate, then the career
of the United States as a great factor
in the worlds civilization is at an
end.
..Any man at this time of crisis who
is not aggressively, openly and spe-
officially for these principles is against
them and every patriotic man should
treat our public servants on this
basis

SMUT DAMAGES MILLIONS.
Kansas Farmers Lose Heavily
Through Disease of Crops.

Through Disease Oh crops.
Manhattan. Kan, May 23.-Smuts
affecting grain and forage crops cause
an annual loss to Kansas farmers OF
millions of dollars, according to a
Kansas Agricultural Experiment sta
ton bulletin by L. E. Melchers, as
sistant plant pathologist. The esti-
mated loss for 1914 alone was nearly
SS,O0O,0OO.
The most common and serious dis
ease affecting the grain and forage
crops of Kansas are the so-called
SHUTS, points out Mr.. Melchers.
These diseases are more or less ia
niliar to most farmers, since they oc-
cur in all parts of the state wherever
such crops as wheat, barley, oats,
corn, sorghum and millet are grown
Their importance in the regions where
susceptible crops are raised is not gen
orally known, but the loss sustained is
enormous when carefully estimated
Collectively they total millions of dol
lars to the entire state, and individually
they appreciably reduce the farmers
margin of profits.
The smut loss in 1914 was divided
as follows: Wheat, $3,o22,S75; corn,
So. 600, 900; oats, $1,422,42s; barley,
ssO,974; kafir, 1892, 1855: broom corn
s12,O45; and millet, $12,o76.

WHEAT ACREAGE IS LARGER
Report Shows Substantial Increase in
Kansas This Year.

Hutchinson, Kan, May 23.-Reports
received at the Santa Fe division
freight office from county clerks
throughout the wheat belt indicate
that there is a very substantial in
crease in the wheat acreage over last
year.
The comparison is made between
the wheat acreage reported March
this year and that of March 1 a year
ago, as shown by the assessors re-
ports.
Reports were received from fourteen
counties. The others have not yet
compiled their assessors reports. Reno
county will not be complete for some
time. A few of the counties make
estimates
Substantial increases in wheat acre
age are reported in Pawnee, Ness, Ed
wards, Rush, Scott and Rice counties.
The fourteen counties reporting give
a net gain of over $4,000 acres.
