of the distinctive features that have
made towns famous and of the spirit
of-the-community that creates an en-
terprising city in an apparently
desert spot, Mr.. Herbsman started a
train of thought, and 1t went some
thing the like of this:
Nearly every successful city OF the
modern era I'VE its blossoming to
the definite vision of a few men, fol-
lowed by a few disciples. Rich
country will center around some
point. Around what point depends
upon men who f6resee that necessity
Mr.. Herbsman called up the ghosts
of a number of cities that might
have been at the vortex of some pros
porous whirl, but failed to foresee
the possibility.
Blackfoot, in the matter Of towns
up-and-coming, might have still been
sinking into respectable oblivion but
for the sticking of a few, and the
incoming Of men with vision. Not
all men 20 years ago called west
Bingham county desert land. Some
looked into the future to see a
splendid picture of wealth and prog
ress.
But what could a whole town full
of such Missionaries do? What If
every member of some secluded vii
lage were suddenly transformed into
a live-wire? What could not q humid
red boosters do for any vacant spot?
Every booster in a community
means the coming of others, for of
all birds they are most of a feather.
They willingly catch contagion from
each other. It is their nature to be
converted. Wherever they live they
make that spot attractive for they
see it in the light of future great
surroundings. They have the par
entail attitude for baby communities
and wish to dress them finely from
the first. And boosters are good
company no matter what the game
is. They are no bores.
What could not a townful of
boosters do, say for Blackfoot?

from fields that appeared fairly ma
ture, tested only 5S per cent
It is already well known that seed
Of the sorghum varieties is very
scarce IN Western Kansas. Since
much of what Is available Is sure to
prove weak IN termination, all seed
intended for 1913 planting should be
tested at once One very easy way
to do this Is to plant 100 seeds IN q
pan or box OF moist soil and keep
this warm IN the house until the
plants can come up and be counted
Seeds OF any kind suitable for
spring planting are likely to become
more expensive and harded to find,
the longer one puts of purchasing,
Last spring the Fort Hays Expert
ment Station helped in the seed
emergency by getting lists of people
who had seed to sell and by testing
samples free for farmers. Supt. Chas.
K. Weeks intends to make the Station
OF service IN the same way for the
coming season.

Seed
An average termination of only 55
per cent. was secured in a recent
test of 80 lots Of kafir, milo, feteriata,
and sweet sorghUms selected this fall
for seed at the Fort Hays Experiment
Station. This low average was due
to the early severe killing frost, Oc-
tOber 9Th, when only the early var
ieties were fully matured, explained
r. E. Getty the Stations forage crop
specialist, who selected and tested
these seeds
Six samples tested above ninety
per cent. These consisted of Dakota
Amber, Minnesota Amber, Dwarf
Yellow Milo, Feterita, and Freed, all
OF which had been hand selected from
the field before the frost.
Ten samples of kafr tested from
o to "A per cent. with an average of
21 per cent These varieties were
mostly IN the soft dough at frost. The
seed tested came from the nearestma-
ture heads that could be saved after
frost for planting.

yielded only 1-3 tons of silage per
acre.
It will be remembered that last
spring the Station urged extensive
planting of the sorghum crops. The
Station planted 430 acres of them,
mostly Red Amber and Pink kafir.
With six silos full, considerable hay
and fodder from the sorghums, alfai-
fa hay produced on the Station, it is
planned to keep 531 head of cattle
and as much other stock in good
shape this winter with comparatively
small expense for grain and cotton
seed cake. This stock will then be
ready to make cheap gains on range
next summer.
