SEA BREEZE IN KANSAS,

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. 29.-To con- meet Kansas with the briney breezes of a sea-coast requires an almost inn possible stretch of the imagination but nevertheless a Reno County truck gardner is having unusual success with crops that are improved by salt breeZes.
 He recently displayed some enor- nous turnips one of which weight eight and a half punds. Two acres yielded 700 bushels of turnips.
 When asked the secret of his suc- cessful crop the gardner explained it was due to the %salt breezes" which blow across his farm from nearby salt plant. These "sea breezes" invig- crate the plants, he added, and keep away all forms of insects.
