Elsewhere in this paper we publish
compilation of dairy statistics for
Pierce county, furnished us by Coun-
ty Clerk O. j. Hohle. The fact, as
shown therein, that the county has
realized nearly a million dollars
from this business is worthy of the
consideration Of every farmer. The
dairy business is fast becoming of
greater importance in this section of
the state, and it is line that de-
mands business methods. The farm
er who would reap his share of the
profits must be up to the minute in
his knowledge of the best breeds of
cattle for his particular environment
and he must know how to care for
them in the most profitable manner.
Many of those who have worked the
hardest have not realized substan-
tial profit in dairying for the reason
that their efforts have not been well
directed. The state is making every
effort to better farming conditions;
to teach the farmer how to make the
profit he should for his products.
Men are specializing in every line of
farming, and their instructions have
proven of inestimable value to thou
sands of farmers. Through bulle-
tins issued from the national and
state agricultural departments, by
personal correspondence, and in
colleges and schools, farmers have
every opportunity to profit by the
knowledge that other men have &C
quired through years of practical
work and study. 1t amounts tc
criminal negligence to plod along al

Rebecca of Sunny-Brook Farm

If you liked Fairy stories when you
were young and what child never lik
ed Fairy stories, you will enjoy thor
oughly "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm" which comes to The Auditor
UNI next Wednesday night, Sept. 20.
1t is one of the sweetest, most whole
some and delightful little plays that
will be seen here during the season.
Every tear chased away by laugh
and chances are you will go home glad
that you are living. The play follows
closely Kate Douglas Wiggin's book
of the same name. Rebecca's mother
is left a widow with seven children,
Rebecca, aged thirteen, is sent to live
with her two maiden aunts, Miranda
and Jane Sawyer; arriving day
sooner than expected and while her
Aunts are away at missionary meet
ing, Rebecca and her new chums of
the village quickly transform the prim
proper front yard of the "Brick
House" into play ground. Return
ing suddenly Miranda, stern and I'M
bending, sends Rebecca to bed supper
less.
The rest of the play tells how Re
becca, the uniformed, needless, untam-
ed child described best by Mrs. Per-
kins, the village gossip as "no more
fit in that house than Perkins colt"
melts her way into the heart Of cold
Aunt Miranda The four acts of the
comedy unfolds deliciously simple
plot in which the sunny tempered girl
who would not eft" proves herself
the good fairy Of the old brick house.
The comedy is of the cleanest sort,
and a dialogue vitality interesting pre-
sented by a well selected company,
headed by irresistible Rebecca, fur
nish combination that unlocks many
tightly closed hearts.

Many Kansas farmers are
wasting substance, which if
they but realized it, would pro-
vide the much needed humus to
their soil. 1t is the vegeta Bile
matter of humus decaying in the
soil which gives it the required
fertility, yet farmers of this state
are overlooking year after year
a way to add such fertility. A
ton of wheat straw contains &c
pounds of nitrogen, A. pounds
Of phosphoric acid, and 12,t
pounds of potash. At the usual
market prices ton of straw
would be worth $263 from the
plantfood standpoint alone. II
the straw is burned in the stack
all of the nitrogen, and part OF
the other two elements are lost
[and will some day have to be re.
placed at the rate of the price al.
ready quoted. There is in the
neighborhood of 100000 tons
of wheat strawproduced annually
in Kansas. at least one.half of
which is burned in the stack or
otherwise com bletely destroyed
with an average loss of $3.50 per
ton for the plant life it contains
and estimating that half of the
production is burned, the Kan
sas farmers suffer an approxi-
mate loss of SIS, 100000 each year.
