ALL FARMERS z
e SHOULD HELP
Effort to Get Branch Of State
Experiment Station in m
S. E. Kansas. -

4 0e A4e
- .at.r
The present movement for the
estAb blishment Of q branch OF the
Kansas Agricultural Experiment
Station in Southeastern Kansas
shopld, receive the enthusiastic
support Of every farmer and
business man in this part OF the
state. For q number OF years
the state has maintained branch
stations in the weatern part OF
the state and they have done
their share towards the develop
meut OF that section 10 Hn aRri.
cultural way. The fact that 90
many branch stations have been
located in the west reflects the
enterprise and iusisteuce of the
farmers OF that section In de-
mandiuR experimental work to
be done under their conditions.
However, the Southeastern
Kansas District presents a set OF
conditions entirely different from
the Western. half Of tbe state
and also different from the North
eastern quarter which is fairly
we'll taken care Of by the work
done at Manhattan.
We grow different varieties Of
wheat, we have different soil and
climatic conditions; We need
different information on how to
meet these conditions. The
station authorities have more
than once been compelled to
reply to questions from South
eastern Kansas. I'VE don't
know because we have no data
on work done under your con.
ditions." .'.a ."
In the meantime. the tax
payers Of your section are help
ing to support the experimental
work that has been done through.
out the western part of the state.
There 10 q good reason to believe
that if we will make 4 concerted
demand upon the legislature this
winter the station would be
established. -.a "-i |
To this end petitions are being
circulated at the present time.
In addition, all farmers, orgaui.
cations, clubs and individuals
should write to their representa-
tives and senator's at Topeka and
insist upon this recognition OF
their needs. The loss to farmers
| in this section each year through
improper methods of soil tillage,
growing unadopted crops and III
advised or unnecessary use oi
fertilizers runs to large figures
in the aggregate. 1''H
A we'll equipped and well
managed station would point the
way to stop this loss and would
cost much less than it would
save. 1t would eliminate to q
great degree the necessity fol
trying out 4 new method or croI
which every farmer feels under
present conditions and would
point the way to successful re-
suits when new practices were
introduced. The value of AZ
experiment station 40 an iustitu'
tion has been we'll established,
The above results are certain
l.
to follow. 1t only remains fol
us to insure the establishment in
our district and under our caudi'
tions of this greatest aid to the
agricultural industry.

..s.. g.. President.

METAL SITUATION IN
JAPAN SUFFERS FROM
SCARCITY OF PRODUCT

The steel and general metal Situa'
ton in Japan in relation to America
has been fraught with some diff
culties aside from the scarcity OF the
goods These classes OF merchandise,
prior to the war, had been purchased
by Japan, to a large extent, in Ger
many and England. The sizes speci-
fled by Japan were slightly different
in lengths and diameters than that
supplied by the American mills. Japd-
nese buyers, however, found this stu
alton very hard to understand. The
Dill-Crosett, Inc, Of the Postal TelG-
graph Building, San Francisco. Cal i,
have therefore undertaken to send to
Japan George F. Emanuels, to act in
an educational capacity. Mr.. Eman'
uels is one Of the most competent
steel and metal men on the Pacific
coast, having been associated with
that industry for many years. 1t is the
intention of the Dill-Crosett, Inc,
through this medium, to help the Japa-
nese importers to understand the diff
ficulties, which they create largely
through having so, little knowledge of
American mills. This will not only be-
of infinite benefit to the corporation
sending Mr. Emanuels to Japan, but
will be of aid to all metal shippers
and mills ia this cCpntry. -,
This SAND corpoAion has also sent
to Japan c. R. Thomson. a highly
qcalifed man in the line of his tech
meal knowledge of heavy chemicals
and the American youthful aniline dye
industry.

OFFICER OF HILONIAN
TELLS OF HER SINKING

VALLEJO, Cal, July 31-Rotert
Mahoney Of this city has received a
letter from his brother, p S. Nahoney,
who was the first officer on the i'll.
fated steamship Hilonian, which was
sunk by a diver off the coast of Italy
last May. The writer states that the
ship sank inside of three or four min
utes after the torpedo struck, but that
the officers and crew, who were saved,
were all consoled somewhat to learn
that the submarine was sunk soon
afterward by an allied patrol.
According to Mahoney. four of the
men on board the Hilonian went down
with the ship. while the remainder
were rescued by Italian ships.

LETTERS
DEFENDER OF LUDY

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: wish to state to the public the
views OF the enlisted personnel at
Ludy, medical corps
He came to this hospital last Octo
Der, fresh from Gods country" full
Of life and good cheer and was as.
signed to our surgical convalescent
ward, where he worked hard from
morning till night, patching broken
bones and dressing poor injured bo-
dies; always with a there. there
boy, sorry had to hurt you that time
but it was the only way. Never mind
you'll be we'll and happy again in a
few days Always with that fatherly
smile and gentle pat On the back that
inspires confidence in the most Pessi-
mistic patient.
Every one loved him, the patients
were never too sick to smile their
good morning" to him, and he, never
too tired or weary to relieve their
sufferings. And now comes this
daub Of mud, this serious. but we
all sincerely trust and believe I'm.
founded, charge against him. That
the crime certainly has been commit.
ted by someone, we fully realize, but
the question is, by whom?
Just because Gait. Ludy happens to
be physician, does that brand him as
the guilty one? Most emphatically
not. And because he was a friend OF
Miss Berg, does that fact tend to point
to him as being IN any way connec.
ted with the cause Of the poor girls
death? Again, no. There is, in fact,
from what we have been able to learn
Of the case, not a thing which actually
points 70 DR.. Ludy as being in any
way connected with the crime.
Why then is public opinion so
against him? The majority Of the
public here know absolutely nothing
about him yet they are all too ready
to jump on him and to drag his good
name through the mire. Why? Here
is the reason: Merely because the
public press has dragged in his name
and prejudiced the case. We who
know the captain, and have served
under him ever since he has been
stationed, on the island, greatly re-
spect him. Not only as an officer
of the United States Army, but as
a thoroughly honorable gentleman
with a real human heart And it will
take a great deal to convince us that
he is in any way connected with the
crime attributed to him.

Almost from the time that the work

after We had cast for them for a
good part of the morning and had

manded again. although am not sure
that the government will transport me
that FAR. II not, will enter TIE ser
vice here.
A. V. GEAR: No trial balance Of
the police books has been taken since
1909. Some accounts as far oack as
1906 are stin unsettled. The books
are in such a state that I have been
unable to straighten them out myself
and have asked the board of super
visors, through Judge Irwin, to an
propriate enough money for a man
TO do the work.
