The Farmer. and the Farm Bureau.
a Farm Bureau is an organization
of the actual farmers in a county in
order to study and improve the prob
lens relating to the farm and the
community. This is a farmers or
ganization composed of real farmers,
differed and controlled by farmers,
provided for by state and federal laws
supported by state, federal and coun-
ty money.
The Kansas Farm Bureau law pro-
vides that whenever ESQ or more
farmers in any county belong to a
Farm Bureau with duly elected presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer and a
vice-president in each community or
township, then they are qualified to
receive state, federal and county
funds to carry on their work.
In order to be of the most service
in county the Farm Bureau hires an
Agricultural Agent who becomes the
hired man of the Bureau and is con-
trolled and governed by the Bureau,
(and bears a similar relation to the
| farmers as the Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce does to the
business men of city, The Farm
Bureau decides upon the work to be
done and in fact is in charge of pro-
! jects relating to the welfare of the
farmer and the farming community.
Some of the work of the Farm
Bureaus usually handle are, securing
and distributing labor, introducing
new and better varities of crops; i'm
proving live stock, preventing plant
| diseases such as smuts, rusts, blights,
willis, blOtches, ETC., helping to pre-
vent and control live stock diseases
in cooperation with the State Live
Stock sanitary Commission and other
Veterinarians, fighting insect pests
such as Hessian Fly, Grasshoppers,
cinch bugs, greenbugs and other pests
such as prairie dogs, gophers, ground
squirrIs and jack rabbits. Other fea-
lures of the work are the exchange
or wanted advertising, such as seed,
feed, machinery and live stock, test
ing seed for purity and termination.
The Farm Bureau duly organized
is the local representative of State
Experiment Stations, the United
States Department of Agriculture and
Labor in county and the services
of any branch of these departments
is available to the Farm Bureau.
Some of the work recently accom-
plished by Farm Bureaus in Kansas
are: One Farm Bureau saved 1OO,-
600 acres of wheat last year by fight
/ ing grasshoppers at the right time,
another Farm Bureau secured har-
vest labor for the last three years
very successfully. Farm Bureaus
have made big profit by introduce
ing Kanred wheat which averages SO
bushels per acre more than ordinary
wheat grown A few years ago
orchards were being torn up in Doni-
phan county, a Farm Bureau was es-
tablished and orchards were found to
be 50 profitable that men went back
into orchard work and that county
is now one of the leading apple coun-
ties in the state.
The Farm Bureau in three counties
in southwestern Kansas urging the
need of help for seed wheat last fall
were in a measure largely response
bic for the $5,O0O,OOO Federal Seed
Wheat Loan.
In any problem, no matter how
small or large, if farmers get to-
gether and organize then they car
expect to get results.

Police Warn Farmers of Auto Thieves

Police Warn Farmers Of Auto Thieves
Farmers and the residents of smaller
towns in all parts of Kansas and Okla

officials of the big cities to be on a con-
tinual lookout for automobile thieves
who will appear in the next few weeks
in the rural districts disguised as har-

The vanguards of these professional
car stealsrs will work as spies 1t will
be their duty to obtain work on farms,
study the habits of the car-owners, the
layout of the garage or barn in which
the car is kept the road conditions, etc
and report this information to head
quarters of the gangs in the big cities.
A little later the real thieves will ap-
pear, and with full information as to
how to work quietly and successfully,
will steal the cars at night and in the
morning be far away. The spies will
not be suspected and when their work
is done in enc place they will move ento
the next with the rest of the workeas
and repeat the operation in new ter
ritory.
The police officials and the Anti-Auto-
mobile Thief Associations secret ser
vice men are trying to warn all COM
munitiss to be on the alert, for 1t is
said that no town, village or farm will
be safe from depredations of these well
organized gangs.
Many communities are said to be or
gsnizing SO as to keep the thieves out
Every man who gets his mail out OF
Preston, Kansas, is said to belong to

Keopine Kanred Wheat Pure

When new varieties of wheat once
become distributed throughout the
country it is not many years before it
is hard to find a pure strain because
of the danger of its becoming mixed
with and often inferior wheat varieties,
rye or troublesome weeds.
The Kansas Crop Improvement As
ISOLATION has so far recognized the su-
periority of Kanred wheat that it has
established an inspection bureau work
ing in cooperation with the Kansas
State Agriculture College in order to
maintain the purity of this wheat.
An inspection fee is charged which
will pay the expenses of an ex-
pert who Will make this inspection and
Kanred fields not up to the standard or
those containing mixtures Of other vari-
cites, rye or noxious weeds will be
condemned as unfit for seed distribu-
ton.
The Fort Hays Experiment Station
has 400 acres of pure Kanred wheat tc
harvest this year. This will be inspect
ed soon and if the season continues
favorable this station viii be able to
supply this excellent new variety to a
considerable section of Western Kans-
as.
The introduction of hard Turkey
wheat into Western Kansas revolutions
lied the farming industry. This new
improved variety of Turkey Wheat
known as Kanred gives a promise OF
similar advancement in the wheat

owing TO the wet SpTiiS WHICH may
prevent farmers from getting all their
ground in row crops, many fields viii
idle during the summer and viii pro-
baby be put in wheat this fall
says Mr.. A. L. Halstead, of the Fort
Hays Experimental Station, in charge
of Tillage and Rotative Experimental
Work.
Volunteer grains and weeds are
coming up and using the abundance of
moisture now in the ground which
should be conserved for following
crop. It's important that this waste
in soil moisture should be stopped by
killing the weeds.
Nearly every farmer will be busy
caring for his row crops during the
time it may be necessary to kill this
crop of weeds. On the idle ground,
then the most economical method must
be found TO kill these weeds and con-
serve moisture.
One of the most effective and eco
nomical methods OF killing weeds is by
listing the ground. This should be
done before the weed growth is toe
high to cover. When the weeds begin
to show again on the listed ground, a
lister cultivator or weeder may be US
ed TO destroy a second crop of weeds
Then when it becomes necessary to
kill another crop Of weeds the lister
may be used to split the ridges first
thrown up. Unless the weed growth
gets too high a shovel may be used
more eeOnomiaIly than the lister. In
case a cuitivater is used it may be bet
ter to plow this ground before seeding.
However, If pIowed, It should be cone
immediately after harvest
