it is hard to find a pure strain be-
cause of the danger of its becoming
mixed with often inferior wheat VAR
ieties, rye or troublesome weeds.
The Kansas Crop Improvement As
ISOLATION has so far recognized the
superiority of Kanred wheat that 1T
has established an inspection bureau
working in cooperation with the
Kansas State Agricultural in order to
maintain the purity of this wheat An
inspection fee is charged which will
pay the expenses of an expert who
will make this inspection and Kanred
fields not up to standard or those con-
tanning mixtures of other varieties,
rye or noxious weeds will be condem-
ned as unfit for seed distribution.
The Fort Hays Experiment Station
has 400 acres of pure Kanred wheat
to harvest this year This will be in
spected soon and if the season con-
tinues favorable this station will be
able to supply excellent new variety
to a considerable section of western
Kansas.

CHECK ON YOUR BUSINESS

The critical time is here when tie
patience of farmers who keep a farm
account will be tried.
It is an easy matter for farmers
to take their inventories during the
winter months and keep a book record
of their work until the time when
spring work opens After the farm
er spends long hours in the field, he
does not feel like figuring no matter
how little. But there's the rub. The
value of bookkeeping the farm is
in its completeness. .
The Fort Hays Experiment Station
maintains a complete cost account
ing system and G. C. Gibbons, Assist
ant Superintendent, in charge of that
work, will, as far as time and funds
permit, work with farmers in com
p1eting their farm accounts for the
year or in helping to establish them
A concise, simplified book account can
be maintained which requires only a
few minutes each day and which will
be worth many dollars to the farmers
at the end of the year in analyzing
his business or when he is called upon
to give his income tax returns.

Europe where he assisted in the for
nation of the league of Red Cross
Societies, the purpose of which is to
unity the Red Gross organization of
the world in a systematic effort to
anticipate, diminish and relive misery
caused by disease and disaster.
DIR. Farrand's first announcement
upon his arrival from abroad is that
the work of the American Red Cross
will not s1acken until all the misery
caused by the war has been overcome
While the Red Cross of each nation
will have its own part to play in the
new work, large proportion of the
relief work must be undertaken by
the American organization, he declar-
ed.
The most confronting situation now
confronting America and the Amer
lean people, said DIR. Farrand, els
that in the Balkans and Eastern Eur
ope. The diseases which are likely to
spring up among a people nl-nourish-
ed and with poor sanitary surround
ings are beginning to ravage Eastern
and Southeastern Europe. Typhus
fever is spreading at an alarming
rate.
The main item in the peace pro-
gram of the American Red Cross will
be to use the membership of 19,OO0,-
900 as machinery for the protection
of health. 1t has been decided to con
tinue the Junior Red Cross, with its
100000 members and to encourage
them to help the children of Europe
to obtain education and fit them
selves for their life work
ssThe relief of distress and disease,
the prevention of accidents and prob
lens of motherhood, child welfare and
sanitation will be important subjects
on the program. First aid will be
taught, together with home care for
the sick. The Red Cross will also be
prepared to alleviate distress at
points where there is no other social
agency"

sToP SOIL MOISTURE WASTE

Owing to the wet spring which may
prevent farmers from getting all of
their ground in row crops, many fields
will be idle during the summer and
will probably be put into wheat this
fall says Mr.. A. L. Ha1lstead, of the
Fort Hays Experiment station, in
charge of Tillage and Rotative Ex-
perimenal 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 1t is 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 then most economical method
must be found to kill these weeds and
conserve the moisture.
zone of the most effective and
economical methods of killing these
weeds is by listing the ground This
should be done before the weed
growth is too high to cover. When the
weeds begin to show again on the
listed ground, lister, cuItivator or
weeder may be used 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 cultivaor may be used with
more economy than with a lister In
case cultivator is used it may be
better to pillow this ground before
seeding. However, if p1owed it should
be done Immediately after harvest

TO ADVERTISE A SALE

John Eklund has always been more

for sale. But since he had his sale last
Thursday has come firmly to believe
that advertising space is still the cheap
est thing on the market, John spent
something like hundred dollars adj

said that he had the biggest crowd that
county. most of them being good bid
ders and Mr. Eklund infOrmes us that
his sale went about $4,000 more than he
anticipated. If there was man.
woman or child within fifty miles of
the Eklund home that did not know
about the Eklund sale it was because
they could not read. We say the hun
dred dollars Mr. Eklund spent advertis-
ing was an investment of the highest

from the sale. if not all There is Il
