anyway. Large paintings of other
spring crops may be made, as kaflr,
oats, barley, millet, and so on, while
the perennial alfalfa, of which Kansas
is the foremost grower, is always on
the job. Even tho wheat may be
short. the final inventory next fall may
reveal that Kansas after all has ex-
perienced her most prosperous year in
1917, and contributed her full quota
toward the sustenance of humanity.
Let's not get down-hearted over the
wheat. In the first place it may turn
out better than expected, as it has Il
habit of doing in Kansas. In the sec
ond place, we have had three immense
crops in succession. and we cannot
reasonably expect a big yield every
year. Providence has been kind to
Kansas and there is no reason to sus-
pect that Providence has deserted
Kansas. Let the farmer do his fun
share, and nature may be confidently
relied upon to do her part Kansas
does not depend on wheat alone:
Neither does the world live by bread
alone. The world nee s. and Kansas
produces, corn and beef and mutt2n
and pork, as we'll as wheat, and should
Kansas not measure up to her usual
production in the one, she may sur
pass her output in the other, and thus
maintain a high average.

GOOD ART EXHIBIT
Oil Paintings at Topeka
Guild Rooms.

The twenty-five oil paintings now
on exhibition at the Topeka Art Gu1ld
rooms are among the best pictures
ever shown in Topeka, and are well
worth many visits, and close study
by the city's art loving public
In the collection are three or four
portraits, but most of the pictures are
landscapes or marine.
Among the landscapes, perhaps the
most attractive are Bright Winter
Day. by Alfred Jensson. Head of the
Cove" by Wilson Irvine, and San
Xavier Mission, Arizona by F. c.
Peyraud.
In Bright Winter Day." the SHIN
mering sunlight on the white eXpanse
of snow, and the soft haze that rises
like a delicate veil between the be-
holder and the trees and sky, are
painted with exquisite beauty and
charm.
Head of the Cove" is a view look
ing inland at the woods and hills sur
rounding a small bay or inlet of still
water. The effects of atmosphere and
distance in this picture are very salts
tying. The water in the foreground
with it's growth of aquatic plants is
exceedingly well painted, and the pic
ture holds together well.
San Xavier Mission shows the
beautiful white Spanish renaissance
church with it's group of surrounding
walls and out buildings, on a vast
.
stretches the limitless blue of an I'M
clouded sky. The clear dry atmo-
sphere, the floods of yellow sunshine.
the sharp blue shadows, and the
wealth of brilliant local color of the
Arizona desert, all are there in start
ling reality. San Xavier Mission is
i regarded by many, as the most at
tractive picture in the exhibition.
Fluttering Leaves, by Lucie Hart
rath, is another attractive landscape.

snow scene-by Frank V. Dudley, and
Missouri Trees, by Charles A. Will

OF the marines, The Coast at La
guna, by Edgar A. Payne; Approach
Afternoon at Sea, by Charles E. Hall
berg, are three pictures that hold the
attention.
| The first shows a breakwater OF

masses of blue-black water surgins
over and around it, while away in the
mysterious distance is the long line
where earth and sky seem to meet
where the low lowering clouds look
down behind the hill of the ocean on
a world that we cannot see.
Approaching Storm is view from a
hill top, of a fishing village, and the
bay and the ocean beyond it. In the
distance is the approaching storm
cloud which throws out over the water
the great black shadow that warns OF
its approach.
Afternoon at Sea is an interesting
study of heaving tillows, lights, shad-
oWs and lofty, filmy cloud masses.

attractive and interesting is the por-
trait of Miss Sanborn, by Cecil Clark
Davis. 1t hangs en- the north wall OF

OPEN COOP STORE
1000 Railroad Employees Families At

Danville, ILL.,, April 5.-Effective at
tack on the high cost of living is prom
ised the families of nearly one thous-
and employees of the Chicago & East
ern Illinois railroad at Oak Lawn, a
nearby suburb, with the esta blishment
of a co-operativ- store owned and
operated for the benefit of the road
employees.
Stock in the institution has been
subscribed and paid for and arrange
ments to open the store at once have
been made. The expectation of the in
corporators is that the store will eff
feet a reduction of one third in the
cost of the necessaries of life thru
wholesale buying and resale to stock
holders at prices which will cover only
the cost of handling the goods, clerk
hire and not to exceed two per cent
profit, the surplus to be used in en-
larging the selling capacity of the
store. An express stipulation DEGREES
that there shall be no individual profit
in the enterprise for any one.
The venture is regarded as a practi-
cal test of wholesale selling as means
of combating high prices.
Nearly every householder in the
community is interested in the coop
erative movement. The incorporates
include IL machinist, a boiler maker,
an engineer and a stenographer, wife
of one of the other incorporators, and
they have agreed to operate the store
without charge, except for the neces-

Money is on hand to purchase an

of the wage earners who have found
their purchasing power unequal to the

mess, DIR. Merrill Asserts.

Manhattan, Kan, April 5.-The men
who are engaged in honey production
as an exclusive business are getting re-
suits equal to those derived from any
other form of agriculture, with less
capital invested and with less risk, ac-
cording to DIR. J. H. Merrill, assistant
professor of entomology in the Kansas
State agricultural college.
THE fact that it requires far less
capital to engage in Bookkeeping than
in general farming is a strong point in
favor of the industry" commented
Doctor Merrill.
LAS an excessive business. beekeep-
ing requires high grade talent. 1t
looks so simple and easy that those
who engage in it are not willing to
take the time to master the work in
all of its details as they would in any
other line of business. For this reason
comparatively few persons succeed in
making it profitable"
Fifteen years ago there were more
beekeepers than there are today but
there has been an increase in the num-
Der of bees kept, Doctor Merrill
pointed out. This plainly indicates
that the beekeepers are becoming
specialists.

BY CARL VROOMAN.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Member of the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission.
written for the Topeka State JOurnaD
Washington, April 5.-National pre-
paredness for war has ceased to be the
theme for argument Congress and
other federal agencies are now occu-
pied with questions OF ways ana
means. However, today we face the
question of Individual preparedness,
about which little has yet been said,
but which is as vital question as the
other.
War is not only a matter of gun
powder and lead; it is just as much a
matter of food and forage. Compar-
atiVely few are in position to serve
their country in the actual firing line
but there is no man, woman or half
grown child, who can not serve on the
forage line, if only by tending bed OF
green vegetables. Such service may
not be exciting; may not seem glorious
yet in the long run it may be as
useful as the service of the man VINO
dies for his country on the field OF
battle. 1t is not inconceivable that
the time may come when such
humble service, loyalty performed by
thousands of patriots a thousand miles
away from any battle line, may turn
the balance upon which hangs our
very existence as free people
Keep Food at Home.
We produce more than enough food
/ for ourselves, but in war there will be
danger that people may Starve because
our food reserves are in remote ele-
vators and storage plants and our rail-
roads are too busy handling troops and
munitions to carry food to the civilian
population. Thus the government
would be embarrassed by the problem
/ of meeting local shortages of food at
a time when all its energies should be
focused upon national defense. In
cidentally, from time to time prices
of some necessaries of life may be-
come prohibitiVe even tho food be
available. Hence it is as important
that the individual meet the problem
/ of home food supply as that congress
should look to national food prepar-
edness.
Individual preparedness in cities
should take form this spring by the
planting of hundreds of thousands OF
door-yard gardens, where before there
was the only sod or bare earth. In
the country it should take the form of
more intensive cultivation; even of a
measure of training on the part of wo-
men and girls that they may be pre-
pared to ride the sulky pillow or the
binder if the worst comes. Every
where it should take the form of scru-
pulous care in the production, use, and
conservation of foods.

RECORD CORN CROP
Kansas Must Get Busy, Secre-
tary MOhler Asserts.
Wheat Failure Means That
Grain Will Be Needed.
ISN'T DISCOURAGED, HOWEVER
Wheat Aggregate Yield May BE
"Respectable," He Says.
With War Prices Amy Yield VIII
Bring Big Returns.

With scores of discouraging wheat
reports from the big western Kansas
wheat counties, J. c. Mohler, as secre-
tary of agriculture, has urged the state
to fight for a record corn crop and
encourage the raising of more cattle
and hogs. Mohler does not concede
that the wheat crop is gone. He ad-
mits conditions are bad, but points to
the fact that a short crop usual!
means a long price. Again, Mohler
declares that a failure in the wheat
counties usually means prosperity in
the corn counties.
Conditions are not IT all discourage
ing, declares the secretary of the state
board of agriculture. He points to the
fact that the 20-year wheat crop aver
age in Kansas was 100000 bushels,
using figures prior to the European
war. Now, with war prices, Mohler
IS certain the state will collect large re-
turns from the apparently short yield.
Records produced by the state board
also indicate that short wheat yields
usually mean bumper corn years And
corn and wheat are the two big KAN
SaS crops.
Mothers Statement.
In a special statement today, Mohler
said:
To give courage to those who view
with alarm 1 would like to sound a
note of optimism. The wheat that is
alive and growing in Kansas today
may produce very respectable ag-
gregate yield. Kansas always pro-
duces some wheat each year. She will
do so this year. Seasonable weather
alone will determine to what extent.
Prior to the outbreak of the war the
20year average crop in Kansas
amounted to about IS million BUSH
els. The three crops of 1914, 1915 and
1916 averaged more than 1875 million
bushels annually. While this year s
crop will doubtless be far short of
the average for the past three years,
it is possible the state may yield as
much or more than the previous 20
year average. Most any other state
would regard this amount as a big
crop.
Assuming that we may be disap-
pointed in wheat this year, we should
not be discouraged. Usually when we
have poor wheat year we have a
good corn year; when conditions are
bad for one crop, they are favorable
to the other. To bear out this as
sertion a few figures have been re-
Questioned showing results in Kansas
with corn when wheat does not give
a good account of itself
