Loses In Cattle

Snow in western Kansas this win
tern caused much suffering and lost
among the livestock herds The snow
drifted completely over many herds
making it necessary to dig the stock
out to prevent smothering.
The mild days between storms pre-
vented many losses that might have
followed colder weather with the
snow.
Feed is also becoming scarce in
Western Kansas, however, but the
moisture now present in the soil as
sures wheat pasture and early grass.
The feeding experiments at The Fort
Hays Experiment Station will be of
special interest to those who visit this
years Roundup April 18th, since the
Station has experienced the same
svere conditions as has its neighboring
stockmen

State Agricultural College.

Manhattan, Kan, March 10.-Irriga-
ton of the garden at the needed time
will often not only save the entire crop
of vegetables but also aid in producing
better quality and greater quantity to
an acre, say authorities in the Kansas
State Agricultural College.
The irrigation of the household gard
en- will require very small expenditure
of money and time for the most salts
factory returns. The ordinary honse
well with windmill generally furnish
sufficient supply of water to irrigate
the family garden.
If a reservoir can be constructed the
size of the garden can be enlarged to
four or five acres, but this area is as
large as can be supplied by the average
windmill. The western part of Kansas
requires more water to raise q satisfac-
tory garden than the eastern part but
there is also more wind available for
power.
The garden should be so planned that
the rows will run with the water. If
the ground is rough it should be leveled
enough for the water to reach all por-
tions of the garden and not cause pool
in the low spots. A gentle slope of
about 100 feet is ideal but sleeper
grade can be used by making small
dams between the rows and holding the
| the water back until the ground is
soaked.
The disadvantage of winding rows in
place of straight rows is principally one
of appearance. If the garden is to be
worked by hand, the rows should be Is
or 20 inches apart with a furroW be-
tween for water. If the garden is to
be worked by horses, the distance
should be perhaps Sc inches.
The supply ditch should be of size
to furnish water for a half dozen or
more burrows at once, as it is necessary
to have fairly good head of water
even for garden irrigation. Let the
water run through the burrows to the
end of the rows, then turn it into an
other set eff burrows. If necessary,
turn the water into the burrows several
times or at least until the ground is
well soaked.
The ground should be soaked about
once month, depending upon the kiad
of vegetables grown. A good soaking
before planting viii be found beneficial
and may be the only wetting required
for early vegetables. AS soen as the
ground is dry enough cultivate or hoe
it SO as to cover the water in the
ground. Tit dust mulch thus formed
prevents loss Of water by evaporation.

Easy Money.

Representative John Jacob Rogers, at
Republican, of Massachusetts, per-
formed valuable public service recent
ly by calling attention to the fact that
a deserving Democrat has been draw
ing down salary for the past two
years as minister from the United
States to one of the Pan-American re-
publics but has spent the entire two
years enjoying life at his home in
North Carolina. Democrats in congress
disputed the statement and one of them
was SO rure of his statement that he
said that If the facts were as stated,
the officials responsible for the pay
ment of the salary should be impeached.
Later, Democrats were forced to admit
the correctness of the statements of
Mr.. Rogers, but no impeachments pro-
ceedings. have been begun. The $40, 900
a year salary is SO small compared
with innumerable other waste of public
funds that the loss will receive little
attention. But the incident uncovered
by Mr.. Rogers gives the public an
illustration of Democratic Methods
Exchange.
We have an idea now where Ex-Judge
Ruppenthal gothis inspiration for draw
ing two salaries while earning but one.
1t seems to run in the breed.

CLEANUP WEEK PROCLAMATION

During a normal year fire destroys
over three million dollars worth of
Kansas property. When the cost of
carrying on the insurance business of
the State and the expense of maintain
ing fire departments and other fire
fighting equipment is added to this sum
the total cost to the State of Kansas
is found to be nearly ten million dollars
per year.
Last year, due largely to the war
and extremely abnormal conditions,
the fire loss in the state passed the four
million mark. Now that the war is
over is not the time to slacken our eff
forts in conservation work. Rather
should we continue to bend every en-
ergy toward the elimination of all
waste in order that conditions may as
speedily as possible reach normal ba-
sis.
The same conditions!that breed fire
breed disease. Clean streets and allys,
clean yards and clean homes tend to
prevent fire and therefore to conserve
the country's material resources. They
likewise tend to conserve the public
health and therefore the countrY's man
power. Such homes create civic and
national pride and contribute to the
welfare of all concerned.
Therefore: In order to bring about a
concerted effort all over the state for
fire prevention, the improvement of san
itary conditions, the prevention of dis
ease and the identifying of streets and
homes, I, Henry J. Allen, Governor, do
hereby designate the week of
March "a to %, as Cleanup Week
in the State of Kansas, and urge that
every resident of Kansas, whether he
be private citizen or public official,
devote whatever time is necessary to
the work of cleaning up streets, alleys,
backyards, yards about farmhouses and
barns, easements and attics of all
buildings, public or private and remov-
ing therefrom every possible cause of
fire and disease.
In Witness Whereof L have hereunto
subscribed my name and caused TO be
affixed the great seal Of the State of
Kansas.
Done at Topeka, Kansas, this 9th day
of March, A. D; 1919.

L. J. Pettijohn, Governor

Presbyterian Advance

The Presbyterian Church with
other denominations is planning this
year big advance along all lines of
work, called the New Era Movement.
It's aim is to get the whole church be-
hind its whole task in five year ex-
banding program. The heroic, gen
erous spirit of the war is to to be

been made by prayer study and or
ganization leading toward stimuli
taneous financial campaign Mar. 23rd
when every member, adherent and
friend of the church will be asked to
subscribe for the work of the church
for the coming year. The running
expense budget is figured in round
numbers at $25, 100000. The budget
for benevolences of its twelve
Boards, and the reconstruction work
in France, Italy and Belgium, includ-
ing fund for returning soldiers and
sailors, is figured at $13, 100000.
This is a little more than one half
of the amount asked for running eX-
penses. Each of the 10000 Presbyter-
ian Churches has been assigned its
quota of the amount to be raised
On March % from 2 to p. M the
100000 members and as many
more adherents will be asked to sub
scribe. for the work of the church al
the rate of 100000 per hour. This
will be known as the ''First Victory
Fund Campaign" to subscribe for the
Budget of Opportunity" The wal
has taught the church that ''For the
Kingdom Enterprise" and a ''Chris
tain World Democracy there mus
be no longer dependence upon 1C
cent teas and ice cream socials. The
Presbyterian Church in Hays expects
it's members and adherents to be
ready March 23rd and ego over the
top"
