SEED CORN SITUATION
N KANSAS SERIOUS
Emergency Demonstration Willis
of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College Sounds
Alarm to Farmers

"The Seed Corn situation in Kansas
is very serious. 1t being stated that
it is worse than it has been in 80
years.
The majority Of the corn in Chero-
kee and Crawford counties mateured
before the early freeze which caught
most of the corn over the larger part
of the State. For this reason no more
sound, mature corn which would do
for seed should be fed or sold on the
market in these counties.
It will not only be greatly to the
farmers advantage, but his patriotic
duty to save this seed for next
springs planting.
Each farmer having any kind OF
seed for sale should list It in one OF
the Labor and Seed survey blanks
which will be distributed through the
rural schools next week. He should
also send a sample of his seed to the
district school teacher, who win for
ward It to Mr.. Z. J. Willis OEmer-
Rency Demonstration Agent at Pitts
burg). This sample Of seed viii be
tested at the Agriculture College at
Manhattan.
The survey blanks win be Bummar-
lied for each county and a ssed list
viii be prepared and sent to counties
where they win have 70 import prac-
tically, al thar Sssd.

SAVE THE HENS

Every laying hen sold from the
farms before the first of May means a
loss of about 30 eggs to the food
supply Of the nation. These eggs are
valuable food, manufactured largely
from insects, weeds, grass, garbage
and waste. The eggs, therefore, are
almost wholly a net gain in human
food. Moreover, the hen is just as
good meat after she has laid thes'
eggs as before.
Save the hen is the message thai
the United States Department of Ag
riculture is sending broadcast through
press notices and posters, and through
its county agents, especially in tn
southern poultry-raising sections.

JOHN OVERTON KILLED

When Johnny Overton. captain OF
Yale's track team, smashed the in
door record for the mile at the
Meadowbrook games in Philadelphia
two years ago. Johnny Mack, Yale's
famous trainer. watched his charge
to a great finish. The stoutest
heart Of any runner l ever developed. -
was Mack's comment when worlds
figures were announced.
Physically, Overton was not an i'm
pressive figure. He was spare but
neatly built, with a running form pc
culiarly his own. 1t was his fighting
heart that carried him to many a vic
tory from a half to ten miles during
his brilliant career in track athletics
Ocerton went into the marine corps
oScers' training camp at Quantico,
Va. and won his commission. He was
popular with the men and was among
the first to go "over there He is
dead today in France and was buried
by a comrade on the battlefield of the
STarne July 10.
Yale mourns Overton and a host of
friends and associates are shocked to
learn of his death.

either. Joe Judge, Frank Schultz
and Jim Shaw have signed UP with
the Alexandria Shipbuilding Com
pany, and will go to work as sool
as the curtain falls Labor Day. Sew
eral more will probably follow their
example.
The boys are in for some wonder
full experiences. Instead of lolling
under the covers until 0 or 10 o'clock,
loafing away their time until /
o'clock, and then playing ball till
dark, the professional players are
going to bump into some real work.
They'll have to punch the time clock
and work at least eight hours at a
stretch. Their salaries, while ex-
cellent for the work done, will not
begin to compare with those they
have been receiving from the mag
mates.
The principal shock TO the boys
is going to be the absence OF that
paternalism that has crept into base
ball. They'll have to spend their
own money when they want any
thing, which will shock them severe
ly.

CROWDSSTAY AWAY
AS SEASON PASSES

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-It is estima-
ted that less than 10000 people at.
tended major league ball games in
this country yesterday. This number
is much less than used to attend a
single game at the Polo Grounds on
the same date a few years ago, pro-
viding the weather was as pleasant as
il was yesterday.
These figures prove more than any
thing else that interest in the game is
practically dead.
True enough, there was only one
game played in the American League,
but that game was between the two
warmest contenders for the American
League pennant, and was one of the
"cruciar" games OF the year. 1t alone
drew nearly twice as many spectators
as all the National League clubs,
which means all the other games play
ed combined.
Here are the estimated figures:
American LenEue.
Cleveland at Boston. G,300.
National League.
New York at Pittsburgh. 1900.
Brooklyn at Cincinnati, 500.
Boston at Chicago, $50.
Philadelphia at ST. Louis, 275.
Total attendance. 9,S25.
