SPECIAL SESSION

Summoning of special session of
the Kansas legislature came a step
nearer when j. T. Botkin, secretary
of state in letter to Governor Cap
per, pointed out to the executive
that under existing state election
laws, Kansans who will be in foreign
military service next August will be
unable to vote. A revision of the
election laws so soldiers can vote
is necessary, Mr.. Botkin explained.
In his letter Mr.. Botkin referred
to agitation for special session Of
the legislature and brought out the
fact that that the law passed in 1868
granting soldiers in the field the right
to vote applies only to MALTA and
volunteer soldiers. He asserted that
it would be impossible for the soldiers
in foreign service to cast their bal
lots in accordance with this law
should the attorney general hold
that men serving in the army through
the operation of the selective service
act may vote under provisions Of the
act of 1868.

Kansas wheat is in the poorest con-
dition of any December for the last
ten years, and the crop at present is
in serious need of moisture. The
light snow fall which was prevalent
over the state was beneficial, but
far from sufficient to furnish the
minimum amount of moisture needed
by the second largest acreage of
winter wheat ever planted in the
state. This is the accurate prevail
ing condition of the wheat crop over
the state, according to the December
report of Edward g. Paxton, field
agent for Kansas of the bureau of
crop estimates, United States de-
partment of agriculture.
After thoro investigation and
survey of the state, Mr.. Paxton has
the following to- say concerning con-
ditions of seeded wheat:
"Indications are that 9,480,000
acres were seeded to winter wheat in
Kansas this fall. This is within one
per cent of as large an acreage as was
seeded in the fall of 1916, which was
the largest ever planted to this crop
in the history Of the state. Kansas
farmers undoubtedly did their best to
come up to the 10000, 00O-acre mark
recommended for them by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Eco
nomical and Chronological factors
were exceedingly hostile. In the best
part of the Kansas wheat belt sever
al million acres of wheat land had
been planted to-corn or sbrghums in
the spring of 1917. 1t is always diff
ficult to seed wheat in the fall on
land that has been in corn or sor-
ghums during the summer. The
difficulty was enhanced in the fall
of 1917 because of the slowness of
the corn in maturing. This land was
also badly depleted of surface and
subsoil moisture. Persistent drouth
was present throughout the major
portion of the state with mighty
menace. In some sections the short
age of farm labor was keenly felt.
Seed wheat of good grade was scarce
or had to be obtained from distance
and was high in price. 1t was COM
bination calculated to test the pa
triotism of the veriest optimist.

FARMER BOYS
In The Army May Get a Chance al
Farm Work

In Inc Army May Set finance a.
Farm Work
Secretary Baker has a plan to per-
nit farmer boys in the army to re-
turn to their homes at periodical in
tervals to assist in crop productions.
He outlined it today to a group of
New York farmers who protested
against conditions created by the
scarcity Of labor.
Headed by L. c. Styver, the farm
ers representing the New York feder-
alton of Farm Bureaus explained in
detail the difficulties which con-
front the farmers. They did not ask
for exemption of farm laborers, but
suggested that it would be necessary
either to exempt farm labor or con-
script it. 1t was pointed out that the
crop of 1917 was short largely be-
cause of inability to secure sufficient
labor. This, the farmers admitted
was due somewhat to the migration
of farm laborers to industrial centers
but the taking of the men from the
farms into the army it was explained
had made the situation worse and if

"THE CHRIST CHILD"

The Sacred Cantata, "The Christ
Child" was given by the choir of the
Christian church last Sunday evening.
AS was anticipated, the church was
too small to accommodate the people
who came to hear the splendid
music, many, finding no chance of
seeing or hearing went to other
churches to enjoy the exercises. The
full. choir of 26 voices, under the di-
rection of Mr.. F. c. Smith, appeared
at 7:45 and finished the Cantata at
about 900.

notice of the many good solos. duets

The secretary told the farmers he
was studying a plan to grant fur
loughs in the spring and fall to boys
from the farms whose training had
been sufficiently advanced, on con-
dition that thed would return to their
homes.
A compulsory leave from the army
in order to assist with the farm work
however, is no part of the plan.

of Mr.. Smith. The writer feels tho,
that it is due to the occasion to say
that the splendid success of the Can
tata was due, largely, to the work of
Mrs. F. c. Smith. Her ability as a
singer was never demonstrated to a
Liberal audience in a better way
than in her rendition of the two diff
ficult solos Salvation" and "The
Wonderful Nazarine." In her last
solo her tones were perfect and her
rendition stamped her as the fore
most soprano of the Southwest.
