What Crop to Plant
sOrghunns

Are you in doubt about the sor-
ghum to grow? If you want a for
age or silage crop the results of the
Fort Hays Experiment Station tests
show that Red Amber, making an
average yield of 1885 tons of silage
per acre, is best for dry forage or
silage and is an excellent hay crop;
although not as good as Sudan for
quality it yields 81 90 more per acre.
Pink kafir is best for both grain
and forage where a combination crop
is wished as it made 834 tons of sill
age and 1873 bushels of grain per acre
in six year test at the Fort Hays
Experiment Station. For a grain
crop only, feterita has given the high
est yield during the last six years with
an average of 1873 bushels per acre.
Do not be misled about some high
sounding sorghum crops. None of
them have stood the test and given
the yield of the older crops

The best answer to the question OF
how frequently corn should be Guilt
waited, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
that it should be cultivated often
enough to keep down weeds and to
maintain constantly q loose soil mulch
till the corn has attained its growth.
To this end a greater number of cult
ivations viii be necessary when rains
at intervals of about a week cause
the surface soil TO run together and
crust. This crust must be broken and
the soil mulch restored, or excessive
run-off and evaporation will soon rob
the soil of its moisture
Promptness in restoring the soil
mulch after rain is important. With
double cultivators widened and by
driving astride each alternate row,
the mulch is restored in half the time
necessary to drive astride of every
row. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.

Volunteer Wheat or Sorghums,
which,

There is a large acreage of volun-
teer wheat over the country which the
farmers are in doubt whether it will
pay to leave and harvest or to put the
land in some form of spring crop.
This question is one that each man
must settle for himself but in
planning his spring work it might be
of interest to know that unless he has
an unusual chance for a wheat crop,
that some of the grain or forage sor-
ghums will make him more money.
During the last six years at the
Fort Hays Experiment Station, feter-
ita has made an average of 1873 bush
els per acre, and 6.45 tons of silage.
The grain has a cash value on the
market or if it is fed to livestock it
has a feeding value almost equal to
corn. The forage may be fed dry or
after the grain has been removed and
the butts may be put in the silo where
it will make about five tons of good
silage that is equal in feeding value
to five tons of dry fodder.
Considering the labor cost of hand
ling the wheat this summer, it will
take a good stand of volunteer wheat
to make as much per acre as can be
made by the use of some of the grain
sorghums.

A Lost Opportunity

One of the feIicitous enterprises
conducted by our ideal national ad-
ministration was the publication of a
periodical to Convert teachers to the
idea of a league of nations and to
urge them to teach that doctrine to
their school children" It taught the
taxpayers $4,000 a year.
We are unable to understand why
Mr.. CreePs war committee on public
information, organized presumably
because the administration distrusted
the Democratic press, neglected to
put out free text books for the schools
and colleges of the countries, with
the Wilsonian doctrines as subject
matter.
But the great and objectionable
oversight of the irrepressible Mr..
Creel was his incomprehensible fail
ure at time when money resources
were unlimited, to revise the Scrip

have read passages like this:

H. L. Kent Succeeds Chas. r. Weeks
at Hays
Charles R. Weeks, for four years
superintendent of the Fort Hays Ex-
pertinent Station, left Saturday, May
8, to assume the duties of general
secretary to the Kansas Farm Bu-
reau.
During Mr.. Weeks four year stay
in Hays he has taken very active in
terest in the development of more
profitable and permanent agriculture
for Western Kansas. The Fort Hays
Experiment Station and Western
Kansas will miss Mr.. Weeks and his
enthusiastic personality, but they are
fortunate in securing Mr.. H. L. Kent
who comes highly recommended and
well qualified to take up the work
where Mr.. Weeks left it.
Mr.. Kent comes to the Experiment
Station from the Kansas Static Agri-
cultural College where he had charge
of vocational agriculture for the
State of Kansas. With his wide ex-
perience in Kansas agriculture, Mr..
Kent will undoubtedly adapt himself
to western conditions and prove a

HAYS STUDENTS LEARN TO DO

More than half the students at
Hays Normal are earning their way
through college. While the Normal
School is a preparatory school for
teachers, and it is generally conceded
that more women become teachers
than men, Hays has more boys en-
rolled than girls. AS many students
are taking work in the Hays Normal
by correspondence as by actual at
tendance on the campus.
These are a few of the unusual
points of Hays Normal School, told
delegates to the Kansas Federation of
Women's Clubs convention by Prof.
w. A. Lewis, president, and Miss
Elizabeth J. Agnew, dean of women.
The students add another feature.
''More faculty members are marrying
students than students marrying stu
dents"
"What is a state school for?" asked
President Lewis in a rousing address
before the delegates. 81 wish the
women would start a movement that

related how students at Hays are be-
ing helped through school, demon
strating his lecture by showing the
many practical ways in which stu
dents are utilizing time to put them
selves through the Normal. The stage
from which he was speaking was filled
with handiwork of the students, cedar
chests, lamps, lamp shades, side
boards, desks, benches, chairs, tables,
rugs, waste baskets and dozens of
other pieces of craftwork.
The president was assisted in ex-
hibiting the work by Tom Mock, a
self-supporting student, who modest
ly tried to hide behind the wings while
the president told of his skill.
''Mr. Mock won't tell you how he
not only has earned his way through
school, but has bought property in
Hays in the last seven years." said
the president, proud of the Students
work "More than that, he spent two
years in France fighting for his coun-
try"
Mr.. Mock earned $3.50 from toma-
toes grown on three-fourths of an
acre patch. He cleared $500 off one
acre of cantaloupes. During leisure
time in the last hew years he has
made many pieces of furniture. A
handsome cedar chest was made from
a piece of cedar that had served in
turn as sproutling, tree, door jamb,
fence post, drift wood. An artistic
bench was made from an old bed
stead A Victrola case, the wood
costing about 81, was constructed
from old boards. The case at furn-
iture store today would cost approx
imately 5000.
A basket lamp made from wicker,
costing young woman student about
80 cents, for she had in her sewing
basket the material for the shade,
was exhibited.
'FThe girl would make good profit
if she sold the lamp for ST." explain
ed the president, "'but she recently
refused SIS"
Until recently Hays Normal girls
formed partnerships in the cream
business with nearby farmers. The
girls bought the cream and churned
it between French and "ology" per
iods, making it into neat pats of but
ter, which sold at good profit. The
rising price of butterfat ruined this
industry, however, so now the girls
are helping to support themselves by
working in the cafeterias, assisting in
keeping the buildings clean, acting
as nursemaids, etc.
Boys and girls working their way
through school no longer feel they
are belittling themselves, the presi-
dent said. More self-supporting boys
and girls have been made presidents
of their classes than the boys and
girls of more bountiful financial cir.
cumstances.
Miss Agnew pointed out that, as 8
result of skimming all students pos
sible for teachers in the Kansa:
schools, the student body had become
a much younger body this year thar
heretofore. The average is Is
whereas it used to be in the 20s. The
school has $50 students taking the
correspondence courses, supplement
ing these courses with campus worl
during the vacation months.

Huge Gold Dust Shipment
J. X. Beidler, noted pioneer peace
officer, gives the following interest
ing account of a big shipment of gold
dust from Diamond City:
"In the fall of 1866 two tons and
a quarter of gold dust was shipped
out of Diamond City for Helena, val
ued at about $4,000 At Helena
it was placed in Hershfield's bank. /

tana bar, situated above Confederate
Gulch, and consisting of a foothill OF
two acres, was richer than the main
gulch. When the first cleanup was
made on that bar the fumes were
found to be clogged with gold by the
hundredweight. When bedrock on
this famous bar vas reached the en-
ormous yield of $3.50 to the pan in

ishment at the wonderful yield of
$1,000 to the pan.
Confederate Gulch was not so large
as Alder, Last Chance or Orc Elmo
gulces, but it was the richest in pro
portion of all Montana gulches that
gold. The best informed
miners of that day declared that, in
proportion to the area of the surface
worked, Confederate Gulch and Mon
tana bar produced more gold than
any other spot in the world.
Diamond a Mining Center
Diamond City in the COS was not
only the trading center of Confeder-
ate Gulch, but also for some IA other
gulches in the vicinity that produced
gold. Pioneers of the state will re-
call a number of these gulches with
interest. Among these was New
York gulch, whose rich treasures

were discovered in 1866 and a town
site plated the following summer by
men who had high hopes of a city
springing up there. Opposite, at the
mouth of Trout creek, the town of
Brooklyn was plated and the placer
mines there mined successfully until
1869. These camps in the midst of
the mountains with their high-sound-
ing names, lived their little hour and
passed like mist before the sun when
the yellow dust was exhausted. For
three years the population of the
Trout creek gulches were counted by
thousands. Ten years later the pop
ulation of the district numbered 40.
Whites Gulch, three miles over
the mountain from Diamond City,
was another famous gold producer
that lasted longer than Confederate
any of the other placer gulches in
the neighborhood, being mined as
late as 1885. 1t was discovered in

the Gunnison country and was snow

his pack animals to live. l met him
in the spring as he was coming out
near Twin Lakes. He came to my
camp nearly starved to death. 1 fed
him and his party some good, sub
stantial grub, which they had not
seen for six months. Fredericks
never forgot that square meal, and
the next time I saw him was at Dia-
monG City, where he employed me,
after he had made a cleanup from his
rich strike on Montana bar. After
we shook hands he brought out a pan
