After your boy has spent a summer

SEND YOUR BOY TO THE FARM
By William A. McKeever,
University Of Kansas

Sometime between the age of Ia
to 18 every town boy should spend at
least one summer employed on the
farm, buckling down to the work there
as country boys of his age are doing.
Kansas is an agricultural state. Till
ing the soil and producing food is the
one great industry of this common
wealth. Every growing boy here has
a right to know personally just the
'S6Tt Of stuff that goes into the making
of a typical Kansas character. Soil
culture will teach him.
It is piece of short sightedness on
the part of the parents to look at the
farm employment of their boy as
merely a chance to earn some ready
cash, or to get ahead financially. The
wage is a factor and it should be all
that the trafic will bear, but the main
issue for them is to teach their boy to
do common labor, to become master Of
his muscles, and thus to become self

a splendid asset for any young man.
The worst thing your ib-ysar-sli
can do for the summer is TO loaf. Ard

like, are refined forms Of loafing. %
not imagine your big boy d gs,llps

Now, help your SON find q good farm
job. Let him tackle the harvest foE
two or three weeks. Have him wreskle
with a plow, swing q hay fork, and
keep company with q mule team for .
summer period or two. Place him
with a good family and then give him

SPRING IMPROVEMENTS

In the main the spring Improvement
campaign must be an effort TO arouse
the people individually to take care of
their own property. An old proverb
says, that II everyone win sweep be-
fore his own door, the whole world
will be clean.
Still there are some large improve
ment propositions that can be carried
ON only BY general movement Of
community work. II the wide awake
people of q town conclude that the
place should have q new park, they do
not always wait until conservative or
parsimonious tax payers are willing
to put up the money. They are quite
likely to appoint q Community Work
Day, and assemble a great crowd Of
volunteers to do the work with their
own hands.
In this way bare tracts Of land with
out any beauty except the view Of dis
tant horizons, are in a day or two
transformed into neatly kept grounds,
with shrubs and trees that in a few
years will make the place bower Of
beauty.
People take hold Of these enter
prises with a splendid spirit and en-
joy themselves q lot better than II
they were hustling every minute to
put money into their own pockets. The
school children work at them with
keen enjoyment. They like to be do
ing the same things as the grown-ups.
Few towns have set aside sufficient
tracts in anticipation of future growth
as parks and Fairgrounds. Baxter
Springs should have more of these
open spaces made into places of
beauty and recreation. If the money
to develop them would come hard, why
not appoint a Community Work Day
to improve them, as so many other
places have done?
The possibilities Of Identification
are limitless. It pays from a business
view point. And it binds people by
ties Of affection to their home town. a.,
It makes life better worth living. Let
everyone take hold to do his full share
and to arouse interest in home town
Improvement.

REDUCING FOOD COSTS

Another respect in which the busi-
ness of food production could be made
more Efficient, Is in the better training
Of the food producer.
In factory production, a foreman
would probably feel it needful to in
spect the work of the average opera
tive nearly every day. Food produc-
ti0n is made up Of processes far more
complicated and various than the av-
erage factory job. A wide range Of
technical science is needed for eff
cient work. The average farmer does
not probably know his job as thor
Oughly as the average factory opera
tive knows his processes.
Under the system Of individual
ownership Of small farms, there is no
such provision for training the farm
er as exists in factory production. It
h true that few years ago begin
ming was made at popularizing scien-
tific agriculture, by the system of in
structiOn by county farm bureaus.
These organizations are having mar
velOus success.
But while the average factory work.
er'is watched and trained every day of
his life, the average farmer does not
usually get help from any scientific
authority more than few times a
year. He reads agricultural papers,
which are usually good. But the in
formation given is sometimes conflict
ing, and It is not easy to apply it to
his own problem. He may attend a
few farm Institutes year, see few
demonstrations each year by the cOun-
ty farm agent and others. But it is
q safe statement that he does not get
q twentieth part as much training in
the art of scientific production as the

TELEPHONE RATES IN

Effective May LIST the telephone
in charge Of the Government has
been advanced. This was made
necessary because Of the increased
cost of operating expenses,
coupled with the additional al.
vance on everything necessary in
the equipment Of the company. In
many States a protest has been
filed, in fact the question Of wheth-
err Or not the rates can be adj
vanced in being put to test in the
United States Courts. We can
readily understand the justifica-
ton for the small increase when
we take into comparison the adj
ditional cost of everything that
go towards equipping the lines and
giving service tc the public. The
fact Of the m liter is that the Cum
hcrIand Co. had even before their

to ask for an increase.

A CASH MONEY CROP.

The sweet potato OF the South
has become in such demand that
the supply is far in the rear.
In many sections of the South,
conventions have been held to
stimulate the production Of the
tuber, and in many sections,
bankers and other moneyed men
who have realized it's possibilities,
have come to the front to assist
and encourage the farmers.
On the 9th Of this month there
will be held a meeting of the
Sweet Potato Association in the
Ai;>, If New Orleans.
Thr cultivation Of the yam as
well is preservation will be dis
eussc,i Dy practical men, showing
the Importance. possibilities and
value to the farmer.
Il has been demonstrated be-
yond doubt that the Sweet Potato
can be kept easily from season to
season, for an insignificant cost
though the dry kiln process,
which is inexpensive when COM
pared with results.
Dry kin potatoes are now re-
failing in New Orleans at ten
cents per pound.
Potato canning factories are in
ereasing their capacity. new ones
are being put up which will
further increase the demand and
insure a handsome price to the
planter. At the aforesaid meet
ing it will be shown that the de-
nand for our vans, especially,
north and east is already mlim-
tied, that the returns to the
farmer are assured, and expert
ments along the lines of sure pro-
duction will also be a topic.
No place is better adapted to
It's prolific growth than our Sec
tion, we would strongly advise
our farmers. bankers and other
monied men to get together at
once, and send a delegate to New
Orleans on the 9th to attend the
meeting Of the Sweet Potato As
ISOLATION, and on his return, to
call a meeting Of our farmers and
put before them the facts gath
cred. which would encourage our
PEOPLE to plant more extensively |
and which would eventually result
in the construction of a potato
canning factory here.
The farmers success will re-
dound to the benefit of the laborer
o well a. the banker.
Let Iberians get together and
send q delegate to New Orleans
for the 9th.
