PREMIUM LIST is READY

The 1920 premium list for the Ire
go County Fair Association has been
finished this Week and is now ready
for distribution. There are enough of
them that a copy can go to each home
in the county if they are desired. In
nearly all cases the amount of money
offered as premiums has been doubled
over what was offered last year.
There are also several special prem
iuns and more of them will be offered
as the fair dates approach. There
should be a large vegetable display
this year from all parts of the county
as the association is offering a good
premium and a special premium is
being offered by C. H. Benson. It
will be worth while to compete for
this prize. There is a good bunch of
satisfaction in winning prize at the
fair but the big advantage to the
breeder of any pure bred stock or
poultry is the amount of advertising
secured from an exhibit at the fair.
The same thing can be said of the
farmer who exhibits any purebred
line of wheat, oats, barley, corn OF
any other grain or surghum. The
county fair is both an advertising and
educational center. Begin now to
plan your trip to the fair the first of
September.

Only two Trego County growers of

They were W. M. Nelson, whose post

are accessible to a fairly good seed
supply in Ellis county. More than
5000 bushels of Kanred seed were
grown at the Hays experiment sta
of inspected Kanred may be had from
the secretary of the Kansas Crop I'm
provement Association, Manhattan.
Kanred is established as a better
variety than either Turkey or
Kharkof, the two prevailing kinds of
hard wheat grown in Kansas. The
new variety was developed at the
Kansas Agricultural experiment. sta

IA years. 1t yields from three to five
bushels per acre more than the older
varieties, is more fesistent to rust

More than one-haf million bushels
of the wheat was grown in Kansas
this year. This fall there will be seed
enough for one fourth of the hard
wheat acreage of the state. Within
two years all the hard wheat belt

variety.

COMMENT

The person who advocates a re-
form in methods is called a radical.
The one who opposes it Is known as
a stand-patter. Is the reformer real
ly any more of a radical than the
stand-patter?
The only difference between them
is the reformer is advocating some
thing which has never been tried
while the stand-patter is opposed to
ever getting away from anything
which has been in continuous use for
number of years.
Which boiIs it down to the Line that
the radical is the one who stands for

Radicals, or reformers, have al
are so treated today and probably al
ways viii be but a greatmany of them
live to see their reforms enacted into
laws and adopted by the general pub
lie.
Some of the non-partisan 1eaguers
and socialists workers of today who
are being called radicals may have
this same experience.
Regarding the non-partisan league,
my opinion is that if it has proven a
good thing in North Dakota during
the last four years, the league pro
gram will receive heavy endorse
ment at the polls next November. Ii
it has been and expensive experim emit
the voters will go against it equally
as heavy. After the league program
has been tried out in North Dakota
it Will be time enough then for the
farmers of Kansas to dig up that

coming members. In the meantime
hang on to the sixteen dollars.
