POINTS TO CONSIDER BEFORE
PURCHASING A TRACTOR
(By j. S, Buie)

With the extreme shortage of lab
or effecting the farmers of the south
as elsewhere, our attention must be
directed more and more to the use of
improved farm machinery and nipple
ments, which will allow one man to
cultivate a greater number of acres,
No doubt many farmers are seriously
considering purchasing a tractor as
a means of relieving this situation,
and to these the following sugges-
tons based on experiences with an
SIG |. H. c. tractor on the Georgia
Experiment Station farm may be of
interest.
The value of tractor lies in the
fact that with it one man can do
more work in a day than a pair of
horses or mules. This allows more
land to be prepared within a given
time than would otherwise be posi-
BILE. The past season this would
have been of great value to many
farmers, for we remember that but
little land was prepared until late in
the spring
The tractor is not as we'll adapted
to conditions in the cotton belt as it
is to those of other sections of the
country where the land is extremely
level and uniform. To do it's best
work the field must be as large as
possible, fairly level and not cut ur
with numerous roads, bitches, fences,
hedges, or other distractions. For
this reason tractors cannot be pro-
fitably used on many farms of this
state. Owing to the fact that most
OF the crops grown in the cotton belt
require intensive cultivation, the
greatest use to be made of the tract.
or is in the preparation of the land
1t is quite likely, however, that the
small type could well be used in
drawing cultivating machinery thru
many small crops.
The value of the belt power to be
derived from tractor should not be
overlooked, and especially is this of
Importance if there is no gas engine
on the farm. However. if consider
able belt power is required it will
probably be best to purchase a small
engine rather than to have this work
conflict with field operations. There
are numbers of other small jobs such
as pulling small stumps, drawing
wagons from the fields, moving hea.

ST. JOSEPH OR TOPEKA?

Troubles Go to Court.

Men as well as women sometimes
change their minds. according to al
Legations in a suit brought this morn
ing in the district court by Mrs. Mar
jory d. Swafford against her husband,
Clarence D. Swafford, and the Santa
Fe Railroad company. 4
Mrs. Swafford says she-owned their
home and household furniture in st.
Joseph, but that her husband, coming
here in March to visit relatives, bei
came imbued with the idea~o moving
to Topeka to live. She sold her home.
packed her household goods and
shipped them to Topeka, she says, at
his earnest request.
The wife says she arrived here last
Sunday and made arrangements to
buy a house on Summer street, but
while on the way to the New England
building to close up the deal her hus-
band demanded that she give him
$500 or he would ship the household
goods back, she claims. He had the
bill Of lading made in his own name
Swafford finally reduced his demand
to $500, she says. telling her he had
changed his mind and wanted to go
back to st. Joseph.
Mrs. Swafford says she has already
purchased the house and cannot go
back. Neither will her husband or
the railroad company let her have her
household goods, she says. Her re-
quest for a temporary restraining or
der forbidding the goods, valued at
1000, to be shipped out of the city,
was granted by the court and the
hearing on the temporary injunction
set for June IL.

KANSAS SHORT OF CASH
State Is Wealthy. However, in Bonds
and Securities.

Kansas wealth is in bonds and gilt
edge security, but she is short of ready
cash. That is the situation in this state
as expressed by P. w. Goebel of Kan
sas City, chairman of the. committee
which is investigating the state bank
ing department
Goebel estimates the value of Lib
erty bonds held by Kansans at a half
billion dollars. He also estimates that
$33,000,000 worth of baby bonds are
owned in this state.
kansas barking conditions are
sound" Goebel stated. 1.-THE Kansas
banking laws are sound. We may be
able to suggest after this investigation
a few changes that will be beneficial.
We may find where the examination
of banks could be strengthened. We
might even be able to suggest some
changes in the policy of the banking
department. That will develop later.
The Kansas banks are facing an I'M
usual situation this year. Kansas is
in sound shape financially"
Then Goebel told of the bond in
vestmentS held in Kansas. He added
that the burden of banks and bankers
would not be lessened during the next
few weeks or months. Transportation
facilities are inadequate to meet pres
ent demands. He said action of the
federal reserve board in shutting off
loans on nome essentials could be criti-
cized only for not having been taken

BREAKS GLOOMY RECORD
May Had Less Sunshine Than Amy
Time on. Record-Ideal Month
for Wheat and Oats.
oBy sID. Flora. Q. $. Meteorological,

q
The month just closed was the most
deficient in sunshine of any May To-
peka has experienced in twenty-five
years and had rain on nineteen days,
which is also a near record, but the
total fall of moisture, 2.23 inches, was
hess than half the normal amount.
Temperatures were below normal
more than two-thirds of the days,
making the average for the month 2
degrees below. There were only six
days during the month when the tenn
perature rose above so degrees and
the highest recorded was but SO de-
grees, making 1t one of the very few
Mays that have passed without a tenn
perature as high as 80 degrees on at
least one day. Fortunately, there
were no frosts, as the lowest tempera-
ture reached was ~ degrees.
The frequent rains and excessive
cloudiness, together with one of the
lightest wind movements that has ever
been recorded at this season of the
year, prevented the ground from dry
ing out. Notwithstanding the def
cheney in total rainfall. and there was
plenty of moisture for all growing
crops thru the month, in fact, there
was too much for some of them, and
farm work was frequently delayed by
wet fields
1t was an ideal month for wheat
and good for oats but too cool and
lacking in sunshine for corn and truck
crops which were generally from ten
days to two weeks later than usual
when the month closed. Grass also
made a rather slow growth and alfalfa
suffered somewhat on account of lack
of warmth and sunshine
