FARM TOPICS
From Kansas State Agricultur-
al College

Many reports Of losses Of cattle on
wheat pasture have been received by
the veterinary department of the ag-
ricultural college. The exact nature
Of the disease is not understood, and
the college Is making extensive inyes-
LEGATIONS to determine its character
and cure. Il is not believed that the
wheat pasture causes the disease.
It is possible that the disease is
hemorrhagic septicemia, the germs Of
which have had favorable opportunity
for growth this spring.
When deaths occur among cattle on
wheat pasture, it is advisable to re-
move the herd to upland pasture and
separate sick animals from the rest.
Quicklime may wisely be used to dis
infect small yards and lots in which
diseased cattle have been.
Vaccination Of cattle with a hem
orrhagic septicemia bacteria has been
extensively practiced, and some good
results are reported from It. The
same measure of result, however, can
not be expected from this method Of
vaccination that follows vaccination
for diseases that are better under
stood. If animals are vaecinated, they
should be kept from infected wheat
pastures for a week or 10 days after
vaccination. This method Of vaccina-
ton is absolutely valueless as q cure.
It is best to bury animals deeply
that have died of the disease, without
removing the hide, as there is danger
that the germ will be spread on the
shoes Of attendants. If the hide is re-
moved, the ground should be thor
Oughly disinfected by covering it with
straw or other inhammable material
and then burning this. Shoes that
have been touched by the bloody dis
eased animals should be scrubbed in
an antiseptic solution.

The case for the Victory Liberty
Loan has been admirably stated by
very able publicity writers. The home
newspaper can not say anything new
on SO thoroughly covered \ subject.
Yet The Daily Citizen wishes to put
every ounce of It's influence behind the
men and women who are working for
the success of the loan. It hopes with
all it's heart to see Baxter Springs 60
over the top.
It comes down largely to q matter
Of individual and community pride.
Everyone knows the absolute neces-
sity that this money be raised. Near
ly 1000, 900 men are still in Europe.
They must be brought home, they
must be supported until they get
home. The United States government
must pay its bills for munitions and
supplies ordered before the close Of
this war. There il no possible way
Of escaping these obligations.
If by any possibility this loan
should not be taken, the government
could raise the high taxes still higher,
and settle its bills ct once. But most
people would regard that as an injury
to business and involving much per
sOnal ineOnveniences. The loan, how
ever, will be taken, Il is now simply
a question whether each individual
and each community wants to do its
fair share.
The man who can look back on this
war and feel that he took his full
share Of bonds and q little more, Is
going to feel lot better about it as
the years 20 on. II he showed him
self q Stacker, he viii always feel q
bitter regret. Just the same with the
community. The place that goes over
the top will have something to boast
of for many years. But the town
that fell down on its appOrtiOnment
will spread its reputation for low pub
lie spirit. The bonds are q splendid
investment on the liberal terms Of
fered. The man and the town that
fails to take itS share win regret It
very soon.

Important in AssO- .

construction questions as they affect
the Sunday schools Of Kansas will be
the principal topic to be discussed at
the fOrty-fourth annual convention OF
the State Sunday school association
which meets here May 6, z, and g.
Another problem to receive much at
tention from the Sunday school work

rarely attend Sunday school, and an
effort is to be made to extend the ac-
tivities Of this branch Of church work
to reach as many as possible Of these.
Many prominent speakers are on the
program.

A special car will be chartered on
the Santa Fe to take delegates to the
convention. Several TOpekans are to
appear on the program and w. H.

pared FOR the Christian Herald by DR..
H. X. Carroll. The Methodist Episco-
pal, the Protestant Episcopal and Dis
ciples Of Christ are among denomina-
tions showing decrease in members.
The falling of is accredited to the fact
that SO many young ministers left
charges to engage in war work. The
closing Of churches during epidemies
also had q bearing.

CURE FOR THAT
TUBERCULOSIS
Secretary of State Board Of
Health Has Cure for Tuber-
culOsis Fresh Air
and Sunshine .a

"A campaign is now ON to impress
upon those afflicted with tuberculosis
that they should not leave home" says
DR.. S. j. Crumbine, secretary Of the
state board of health. m
"What such persons need is plenty
of fresh air, lots of sunshine, well pre-
pared and nOurishing food and per-
sonal cleanliness There is just as
good fresh air, right here in Kansas,
as is to be found anywhere. Those
suffering can treat themselves right
at home.
Why Travel, He Asks
"ToO often those with limited means
feel the call to go of in search Of
health They are like the boy who is
gathering nuts and always imagines
he can find more at the tree just q
little farther away. The tubercular
victim of moderate means frequently
goes to far of climes in search Of
health. He goes after the very same
sunshine and fresh air that is right In
his own yard. Then hard luck comes
and he is penniless in strange land.
It is far better to remain at home.
among friends. sg
'Kansas has one Of the best Of hos
pitals for treatment Of such cases. It
is located at Norton. But many can
care for themselves, If they only win
follow common sense rules. In the frat
place the tubercular patient should
take complete rest whenever tempera-
ture appears. It is better to take the
rest in reclining chair in the sunshine.
But, don't forget that complete rest
Is essential.

BUILD THE CITY BUILDING

Our article yesterday concerning
the place where the city council trans
acts business and calling for q new
deal in q city building and Jail, seems
to have been very popular. We have
heard many expressions favorable to
the article, some Of which came from
city officials. But this paper Is not
out for any glory. nor does It help
erect q new city building by our
friends patting Us on the back for
what has been Our duty to advocate.
That does not accomplish the end in

Ever since the Government took
