PROFESSOR TALKS
APE LANGUAGE
AS HUNT DECOY

New York, Dec. 20.-With Professor
Richard Lynch Garner, an expert In
monkey language, as a decoy, scientists
from the Smithsonian institute and
the American museum of Natural his
tory are on their way to the French
Congo in Africa after skins and skele-
tons of gorillas for "a group to be
mounted at the American museum.
The party left yesterday aboard the
steamship Chicago, of the French line.
Professor Garner once lived for sew
en- years in a bamboo hut in Africa
studying the language and habits of
apes. He acquired a vocabulary of
20 words which, he said, is the limit
of the ape linguistic achievements.
Armed with this vocabulary, Profess
sor Garner will sit as a decoy employ
ing the language to lure gorillas to the
stand where men are to be stationed
with rifles.

Santa Fe Wants to Increase
Poultry and Dairy Industries.
Big Demonstration Train Will
Tour the State.
K. S. A. C. TO HELP OUT
To Show Farmers How to Add
to Their Revenue.
Train to Make Stops at More
Than 100 Towns.

A dairy and poultry demonstration
train will be run in March by the
Santa Fe railway over its lines in
eastern Kansas, making stops at 100
or more towns and cities. Plans for
the project are now being perfected
by H. M. Banner, agricultural and in
dustrial agent for the Santa Fe, who
will be in charge of the train. The
Kansas State Agricultural college will
cooperate.
Ross NJ. Sherwood, acting head of
the poultry department of the col
lege; o. E. Reed, head of the dairy
department and S. A. Neale, in charge
of the extension schools and assistant
superintendent of dairy husbandry
probably will represent the college at
different times on the train. Mr..
Reed was with Mr. Banner, the Santa
Fe expert, during the campaign the
week of December for an extension
of the dairy husbandry in Mont
gomery county.
Farm Bureaus Help.
Mr.. Banner IS negotiating with the
United States department of agricul-
ture for additional cooperation. The
farm bureaus in the counties travers-
ed will also help. The train will be
out four weeks. starting probably
March 4. Its itinerary hassnot been
completed but its route will cobweb
the eastern half of Kansas. Arrange
ments have been made to stop at
about four towns a day.
The train will be one of the most
complete ever run for industrial cam
paign purposes, comprising no less
than seven cars and probably eight,
including one business car, three
coaches, one car of poultry and poul-
try products and a car of dairy cattle
and dairy products. The dairy cattle
will represent the four dairy herds OF
Kansas and in the poultry car will be

Kansas to the Front.
kansas should stand ahead of the
premier dairy states of the east in
that industry" H. NJ. Banner, the
Santa Fe expert, said today. THE
climate is better here and the feed
which eastern states are using comes
from Kansas mostly. The average
Kansas farm will produce from $1,000
to $1,000 more net revenue annually
with a good dairy herd of ten or twelve
than without them. A Kansas hen
from what otherwise would be waste
around the farm. Six hundred dollars
a year should be the net revenue from
400 hens. Conditions are right for
Kansas to become one of the greatest
dairy states in this country
The dairy and poultry project is
being worked out from the Topeka Of
fices. The itinerary will be announced
later.
