CROPS FOR LATE PLANTING

After June 1st, it is much safer to
plant feterita than kafir or corn if
grain crop is desired, according to the
Fort Hays Experiment Station tests.
Feterita natures three weeks earlier
than most kaf1r varieties, and can
therefore be planted safely up to
June Is, Freed Sorghum, which ripens
in rs to IS days-two weeks earlier
than feterita-produces lighter
yield, especially of fodder, but is suit
ed to planting for grain up to July L.
Good yields of hay have been OBJ
tanned in each of the past five years
at the Hays Station by drilling Sudan
July 1, especially on well worked
land. Late sorghums always make
good hay, and some farmers even
argue that late sorghums make bet
ter hay as it does not have time to
dry out so much before feeding. Mil
let may also be sown up to July 1,
but its yields are lighter than those
of Sudan Grass or Sorghum and its
feeding quality is less valuable.

SOME MALICIOUS MISCHIEF

For some time the officers and
stockholders of the Trego County Fair
Association have been not only annoy
ed but have been to- considerable ex-
pense in repairing damage which has
been done to the buildings and fences
on the fair grounds. Every precaution
has been taken by the association to
protect the property, but they have
been unable to overcome the work of
some one bent on malicious mischief.
Locks have been pried from the doors,
windows have been broken out and
the buildings opened whenever the
vandal seems to have desired Not
only have the buildings been forced
open but property inside them has
been broken up and otherwise destroy
ed. There appears no reason what
ever for these acts except, perhaps,
that the guilty party was possessed
with pure cussedness and desired to
get relief. The officers of the asso-
ciation have decided that this wan
ton destruction of property must stop
and the guilty parties be prosecuted
according to law if they can be
caught, and are now Offering a reward
of 500 for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of the prepe-
tretors. Here's hoping they are

Lieutenant Co1diron read the gem
eraI order calling for the proper OBJ
servance of the day and in responce
to Mr.. Yetter ON behalf of the new
soldiers whom the duies viii here
after fall, assured Mr.. Yetter that
the work of the old soldiers had been
well and faithfully done and that they
had instilled into the hearts of the
younger generation of soldiers the
spirit of defense of home and country
and that their deeds of va1or and
their memory would be cherished in
their hearts and minds as long as
sany of them were living.
The address was delivered by Hon.
F. NJ. Leaman, recently from Wash
ington, D. c., and he spoke along the
line of AThe Spirit of the American
Soldier" In opening he expressed
the hope that the young men would
never allow the 3Oth day of May to
pass without proper observance and
cited the fact that it is the spirit of
the American soldier to maintain re-
spect for law, order and patriotism
and predicted that the spirit and dem
Fonstrations of Bolshevikism would not
kget very far along after the return
Isof the soldiers. He described this as
a God lead nation. God led from the
time Columbus and his men sailed
fwesward- God lead during the time
of the American revolution, during
the war of 81 to '65 when millions of
slaves were liberated, God lead during
the Spanish American war and the
PHILIPPINE insurrection and the settle
ment of affairs in those islands and
in the protection of the interests of
the many small island republics more
recently formed, and God lead in the
part taken in the great world war in
the arrival of the American soldier
on the battle front at just the time
when his spirit and services were most
needed.
A new condition confronts us to-
day, but the American people have
never refused to honor their soldiers
and will not do it now. The new re
turned soldier viii be placed in charge
lof affairs of the government here
after and his experience in army life
camp life and over seas has given him
new ideas which will be put into prac-
tice and will result in general i'm
proved conditions for the health and
sanitary conditions of the people OF
the nation. They have found that nc
man can live to himself, alone. but
| that there is interlocking of in
terests which makes it more import
ant that all should work together
That they should boost and not knock
and that the teachings of the Lore
Jesus Christ should be followed
Mr. Leaman's address was, indeed
an interesting one and of much value
to those who heard it. He spoke fo1
an hour or more but he interwove
enough wit and humor with his state
ment of facts that he held the atten
ton of his audience during the entire
time The exercises were closed l,y
