The Kansas state auditor is not pre-
pared to say what an ordinary meal
in New York ought to cost, but he
has an idea that s11.15 is too much
for any one man TO spend on four
meals in one day in New York City
or any other city or town. Also $3.50
is too much for three meals for any
ordinary Kansan in New York The
auditor has just begun to receive the
bills of the state officials who went
to New York on special duties con-
nected with the return Of the 35th
Division, and the men who made the
trip are going to find large holes cut
into the expense checks when they
are received. The auditor announced
that he was not going to allow
any such item as $1115 for four meals
in one day for any Kansan anywhere.
and that he was going to cut down all
the big feed bills Of the officials.

State Live Stock Sanitary Commits
sioner Mercer Declares That Hog
Buyers Are oVerehareed.

That the hog buyers who have been

disclosed recently by J. H. Mercer,
state live stock sanitary commissioner.
Mr.. Mercer announced that he viii
arrange an entirely new set Of rules
for handling the serum in the Kansas
City yards to try to relieve the buyers
of this excess charge
A. P. Burdick, special inspector OF
the department, has spent the greater
part of six weeks investigating the
serum conditions in Kansas City. He
found that last year 136,807 hogs had
been vaccinated at cost Of S141,5S8
for the serum and $47,169 for the ad-
ministration. Owing to the fact that
the serum plants actually were offer
ing to sell serum at a lower rate than
that charged at Kansas City yards and
that veterinarians were charging less
for the same service at other stations,
he asked that the rates be reduced.
It was also shown that the fee for adj
ministering the serum in Kansas CITY
was fifty cents a hundred cubic cent?
meters, while at many other points
the fee was only twenty-five cents
In his recommendations to the live
stock department Mr. Burdick asked
that the rate be reduced to S1-25 Tor

administering each one hundred cubic
centimeters. While no specific charge
is made. the inspector reported that
there were indications of profiteering

rich and enriched the government at

BIG VARIANCE IN SOY BEANS
Some Varieties Mature Early, Giving
Small Yield. Whiie Others Grow
Rank and Mature Late.

The results of this years seeding Of
soy beans on the experiment fields at
Iowa state college show that there are
very marked differences among the va
rieties. When grown under similar
conditions, side by side some varieties
were short and early maturing giving
yield of only about five bushels Of
beans per acre. Others grew rank and
matured too late to produce much Of
a bean crop before frost. Some va
rieties yield from 1S to 20 bushels Of
beans per acre.
For planting with corr for silage, II.
D. Hughes, in charge of farm crops ex-
periments, says that the variety known
as Medium Green is very good. 1t pro-
duces a rank growth and yields a larg-
err tonnage Of good silage per acre
than any other variety. This variety
may under some circumstances be
good for hogging down, but Mr..
Hughes prefers varieties that mature
earlier, such as the Manchu, Ito San
and Black Eyebrow. The latter cid
especially well.
