How One Demonstra-

The story of how an orchard
demonstration began in the face
of much criticism in a locality
where modern orchard practice
was unknown and how it opened

wanted the orchard demonstration,
but the State specialist believed
that it would be a waste of time
to hold one in that particular COM

WILSON TO SPEAK
Will Open Liberty Loan Cam
paign in New York.
May Answer Won Hertling at

Washington, Sept 25.-President
Wilson will speak in New York next
Friday on behalf of the liberty loan.
The meeting will be held at the Met
ropolitan opera house unde- the aus
pices of the federal reserve district
liberty loan committee and Gov. Ben
jamin Strong. of the New York Fed
eral Reserve bank, will preside. This
was announced today by Secretary
McAdoo.
This will be President Wilson's first
opportunity to discuss the international
situation since it has developed its new
and sensational features-the great
allied victories in all theaters and the
Teuton peace maneuvers.
AS a result his address is awaited as
one OF probable reaching Importance.
1t is not doubted here that the presi-
dent in calling on the nation for its
greatest financial investment of the
war to date will give not only an ac-
count OF moneys already spent and
what they have accomplished but also
will detail what are the objectives of
this nation as it sweeps into the home
stretch of the war
Whether all of these matters will be
handled in the Friday night speech is
undetermined. 1t is likely he will
speak again during the loan cam
paign.
While it is known the president feels
there Is no need of re-stating the aims
OF america in the great war, 1t is held
likely he will seize the opportunity in
New ork to answer the Teuton states

accept the Austrian peace move re-

PROVIDE STOCK FEED
Hoover Promises Kansas Relief-No
Need for Alarm

Kansas farmers who have been
rushing their livestock to market in
large numbers as was indicated by the
record breaking shipments received at
the Kansas City stockyards Tuesday
nave become unduly alarmed over the.
feed situation. This was indicated in
message received from Washington
today in which it was stated Food Ad-
mlnistrator Hoover will look after the
feed situation in the middle west
Hoover has guaranteed stock rails
ers of this part of the country that
reasonable rates will be ordered on
cotton seed cake and the Washington
telegram quotes Kansas Livestock
Commissioner Mercer as saying the
Hoover order will mean hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the stockmen
and enable them to produce millions
of pounds of beef and pork that they
otherwise would be unable to produce
No word has been received from
Mercer regarding the shortage of bran
and shorts in the state, said to have
been caused by the mil1ers withhold
ing these products from the market
and forcing stock raiserS to buy mixed
feeds, but stock men have high hopes
he will be able to procure an order
frcm Hoover that will require the
millers to put their bran and shorts
on the market at the prices set by
the government.
Food Administrator Hoover has
estimated that the export demand fo1
beef during the next year will exceed
the demand of last year by more than
billion pounds. which will insure
good prices for all kinds of livestock
