Prevention.-Since fire blight usually
gains entrance into a tree through
blossom or bud, all fruit spurs and
sucker growth should be removed from
the lower main limbs and from the
trunk TO prevent those portions of the
tree becoming infested.
Since cutting is the only known
remedy for the disease, ii is essential
that trees in district where fire blight
is prevalent be trained to an open
head. Trees so trained can be more
readily treated with a pruning knife
than IL trained with a central leader.
Immune Stock.-The most promising
developments in the efforts being made
to find some method of guarding
against fire blight is along the lines of
securing immune stock on which to
grow susceptible varieties and in the
development of immune and resistant
varieties producing desirable fruit of
their own.

stocks are absolutely resistant to fire
blight and that keller is very highly
resistant. Reimer of Oregon has done
considerable experimenting with keller
or japanese stock. AS result IL can
be definitely advised that pear growers
should plant keller pears, and these
on the roots of the japanese pear.
After the tree has been in the orchard
year or two and has developed its
scaffold limbs, II can then be worked
over to any desired variety by budding
or grating into the scaffold limbs. This
will result In a tree with the roots,
trunk and lower main limbs immune
to the blight, condition that greatly
facilitates the control Of the disease.
1t is not desirable to grow the Japa-
nese stock as tree In the orchard and
then bud a desired variety into 1t d.
rectly, inasmuch as the japanese pear
has a very erratic habit of growth.
Japanese stock is hardy, vigorous and
clean and will result in trees, when
used as stock on which to graft our
ordinary varieties, that, II anything,
will be somewhat larger than trees
propagated on the French stock.

Tanlac's Sale Phenomenal.
It is, indeed, doubtful If anything
ever placed on the market in the way
of a medicine has sprung into such
popular favor in so short time.
People everywhere have been quick to
recognize its wonderful merit. The
demand for it has been nothing short
of phenomenal.
In Dallas, Texas, where Tanlac was
placed on sale about eight months ago,
over 10000 bottles have been sold,
which according to druggists of that
city, has established q new record and
is unprecedented in the history of the
drug business. In Atlanta, over 10000
bottles were sold in twelve months
time; In Knoxville, the Kuhlman-
Chambliss Co. sold and distributed
4S,326 bottles in nine months; in Louis
vile, KY, the Taylor-Isaacs Co., who
operate eight retail stores in that
city, sold $4,000 bottles in less than
90 days. The demand for Tanlac In
Denver, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Hous-
ton, San Antonio, Oklahoma City,
Memphis, Little Rock, Birmingham,
Chattanooga and Nashville, in fact ev-
erywhere II has been introduced has
likewise been phenomenal and the de-
mand for 1t is continually increasing.
A total of more than q million and a
half bottles of the medicine has been
sold through the Atlanta office alone
during the past twelve months, and 1t
is without doubt the most widely
talked of medicine In the world today.
When asked to explain this record
breaking demand, Mr.. G. f. Willis,
Southern and Western distributor of
Tanlac, said: "There can be only one
possible explanation, and it can be told
in one word, merit That tells the
whole story. No preparation, no mat
ter how extensively advertised, can
possibly meet with such phenomenal
success unless 1t possesses extraor-
binary curative power"
Thousands upon thousands are testi-
flying daily that they have been re-
lieved of disease by its use after years

Mr.. Cooper is firm believer In prac'
teal philanthropy and his relief work
is familiar to charity workers over the
country. His Southern representa-
tive while in Houston, Texas, a few
weeks ago distributed, under the per-
sonal direction of leading charity
workers, one thousand dresses Of excel
lent quality to the poor women and
children. In San Antonio the fol-
lowing week, he donated another thou
sand dresses to the poor Of that city
and few days later four hundred Of
the garments were provided by him
for the poor women and children of
Galveston. Ladies prominent In social
life and many prominent citizens Of
these places assisted and co-operated
with Mr. Cooper's representatives in
this worthy cause.
Gives $4,000 Loaves Of Bread.
Similar service was also performed
by Mr.. Cooper in Cincinnati, Memphis,
Birmingham, Atlanta, Little Rock,
Shreveport, Vicksburg, Jackson, Nash
vile, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Macon,
Savannah, Montgomery, Mobile and
Augusta, and his establishment of the
famous free bread line at Louisville,
where he distributed fifty thousand
loaves of bread absolutely free and
without question to those In want,
proved a revelation to charity workers
there. In fact, in practically every city
Mr.. Cooper has visited he has always
shown his great sympathy for the poor
and unfortunate by performing some
unique act of charity.
Mr.. Cooper contends that nine-tenths
of the diseases and Ill health of the
present day American is due to faulty
digestion and improper assimilation of
the food, which finally produces a
stuffed up condition of the vital organs.
It has been said that Tanlac, his
celebrated medicine which is now ac-
complishing such remarkable results
throughout the country, not only quick
~ overcomes all catarrhal inflamma-
tons of the mucous membrane, but
acts directly in the correction of stom-
ach, liver, kidney and intestinal dis
orders.
Tanlac as has been so convincingly
proven by the thousands upon thou
sands who have Endorsed it, is also a
reconstructive tonic Of great power.

This shows what energy, good bus

his wife can do.
From 400 acres of wheat this farm
er harvested last year about $500
bushels, or about 16 IA bushels to the
acre. While he has made his money
largely through wheat-growing, it is
noted that he acquired live stock as
he goes along, and that he is not
trusting all his eggs to one basket
even though one basket might hold
them. One must remember that West
ern Kansas has hardly started toward
its destiny. Western Kansas has only
fairly begun its stride. She has only
started to really know herself. Her,
resources have been surveyed only
specifically. We have been in the
prospective period. Yes, reflect if
you will on the wonderful progress
made. Not so long since these prair-
les that are now producing excellent
yields of the best wheat the world
knows anything about considered even
by men who had lived here for decades
as suitable mainly for grazing. Now
the states principal wheat producing
countries are in this part of the state
By frequent reference to wheat 1
would not wish to leave the impress
sion that I favor wheat growing ex-
clusively. Luckily, there are many
crops adapted to this region. When

Importance to chronicle in the reports
of state board of agriculture it was
found that the leader in acreage was
Western county, Finney, which had
nearly one-sixth of the total for the
state. Also, it was Western Kansas
that demonstrated the great value of
the grain sorghums. At the time of
their introduction they were believed
to be of particular value in the region
of limited rainfall They not only
proved their worth there, but in other
parts of the state as well, as insur-
ance against the dry seasons that are
inevitble to any country. C. Moh-

WESTERN KANSAS A VAST EN-
PRE- OF UNMINED RICHES

Western Kansas is a vast empire
of unmined riches and land of OPP
portunities By far the majority of
Kansans even, I venture to say, are
unacquainted with the possibilities
that are on every hand for profitable
industry. At one time prominent men
in the affairs of Kansas asserted that
the soil of Kansas west of Emporia
would never feel the cold steel of the
pillow, so little did they appreciate the
Western country from farming view
point. But as they saw the sod broken
beyond that point, Newton was named
as marking the Western line of agri-
culture.
When Newton was reached in the
onward march, our doughty prognos-
ticators retreated to Hutchinson, and
from there they retired to Great Bend,
and later to Larned, and now / think
there is none in the state acquainted
with the Western country but who will
grant that farming may be made to
pay handsomely all the way to the
Colorado border, and even lap over
some. In fact those who know the
country best are confident in the
assertion that greater opportunities
are found in this region than in any
other part of Kansas. And there is
much merit to these claims, consider
ing the price of lands and fertility.
We hear frequent reports of farm
ers raising crops in a single season
worth more than the market value
of the farm that produced them. To
be wholly true we hear, too, of sea-
sons when farmers in some counties
raise little or nothing. Certain it is
that many farmers in Western Kan
sas, as elsewhere in the state, have
been piling up wealth at a great rate
IN the last few years. A case that
came to my attention recently is per-
haps quite typical 1t was renter in
Trego county The couple, for the
mans wife must share the credit, loo
