Fish For Big Creek

Through the efforts of Superintend-
ent Weeks of the Fort Hays Expert
ment Station, State Game Warden
Alvin Clapp sent the state fish car
to Hays, Kansas. Station rigs met
the car and distributed many thou
sands of fish in Big Greek. The fish
were distributed down through the
NOrmaPs dam and the Station dams,
clean to the extreme southeastern
part of the Station. The Station au-
thorities are glad to have people fish
and camp along the stream and on
its parkways, but will at all times en-
force the State game and fish laws
to the limit and has several employees
deputized as deputy sheriffs in Ellis
County to see to the enforcement of
the game laws as well as to protect
the pasture fences and gates from
being left open. The fish thus plant
ed in the stream ought to spawn yet
this year and greatly increase the
number of fish very materially during
the next two years

Road Notice

First published May 10, 1919
State of Kansas, Ellis County, IS
Office of County Clerk.
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Take notice, that a legal petition
signed by Leo Peizl and other house
holders of Catherine Township in said
County, has been presented TO. the
Board of county Commissioners pray
ing for the location of a road as fol
lows, Wis:
Beginning at the southeast corner of
section 24-12-18, thence south on the
section line or as near as practicable
between sections 24-12-I8, and 1921
and sections 25-I2-IS and 3O-I2-I7 and
terminating at north end of road num-
Der 3S7.
And that said Board has appointed
Herman Tholen, John Jacobs and F.
H. Atwood. Viewers who will meet at
the place of beginning of said road, as
petitioned for, on the 5th day of June
1919, and proceed to view said road as
the law directs, at which time and
place all persons interested may at
tend and have hearing. In case said
Viewers fail to meet on the day desig-
mated they may meet the following
day, as provided by law, without notice
By order Of the Board of County
Commissioners.

Plant Ka6r Next

As soon as the soil is warm and
clean after May 18th, planting of
kafir viii begin on the Fort Hays Ex-
pertinent Station. The station aims
to have corn planting done by that
time It pays to plant kafir varieties
as early as is safe, because one to
three weeks longer is needed to rip
en- grain crop of kafr than Of milo
or feterita,
1t also pays to have some extra
seed of feterita or early sorghums.
They may be replanted June 1 or later
IN case early planted kafir fails to
grow. The sweet sorghums and
varieties planted mainly for forage
yield well when planted on well pre-
pared ground at any favorable time
from May l to July 1 1t is not safe
to plant feterita seeds until a week or
two after starting kafir because the
feteflta seeds are so large and soft
that they are more likely to rot in
cold wet soil.
Extra work killing weeds and test
ing seed before planting sorghums
has paid so well that the station oft
en- puts off planting a few days for
these reasons The Fort Hays Elk
pertinent Station plants each year
$50 to zoe acres of Red Amber Sor-
ghum- 100 to $50 acres of pink kafir
and 200 of other sorghum varieties.

Running a newspaper is just like
running. a hotel, only different.
When a man goes into a hotel and
finds something on the table which
does not suit him, he does not raise
hades with the landloard and tell him
to stop his hotel Well hardly. He
sets that dish to one side and wades
into the many dishes that suit him.
It is different with some newspaper
readers They find an article occa-
sionally that does not suit them ex-
actfy and without stopping to- think it
may please hundreds OF other readers
they make a grandstand play and tell
the editor how the paper should be
RIM and what should be put into It

Made Early Use of Coal.

Though wood and turf formed the
fuel of our early ancestors, investiga-
lions have proved that the Britons,
even prior to the Roman occupation,
made use of coal. But as it was pos
sible to utilize only such coal as lay at
or near the surface, the practice did
not make Roadway for many centuries.
