SAYS CHEAP TREES ARE cULI4s
Secretary Whitney Warns Public
Against PeddIers I'm Topeka.

Secretary Whitney, of the Kansas
State Horticultural society has re-
ceiYed complaints that there are
parties peddling fruit trees about town
at low prices.
81 warn the public against accept
ing such nursery stock as it is un-
deubtedly taken from the dumping
grounds of the nurserymen, and is
being taken without permission of the
owners" Whitney says. The trees
are culls and have been rejected for
cause, and are of no practical value.
Parties selling these trees are sub
jecting themselves to prosecution
under the provisions of the Kansas
chronological commission which re-
quires that all nursery stock sold, or
offered for sale, must have attached
an inspection tag showing by whose
authority the stock is being placed
upon the market. Parties buying
nursery stock cannot afford to buy of
any other than a, certified dealer or
a reliable nurseryman. Parties selling
nursery stock without proper inspec-
ton tags are warned to desist from
such unlawful practices"

for the unwritten law of politics that
accords to a "fayorite son" the uncon-
tested right to support of his home
state. He has been more or less sue
cessful in splitting the delegations of
Governor Lowden in Illinois, Senator
Harding in Ohio and Governor Cool
idge in Massachusetts. But in so
doing, political observers assert, he
has incurred the displeasure of these
candidates followers and has proba bly,
killed any chance of receiving their
support in case their respective choice
is eliminated in the convention.
1t has so happened that most of the
spectacular fights to date have been
furnished by Wood and Johnson. The
Dakotas. Minnesota, Michigan, Mon
tana, Nebraska and New Jersey have
seen them pitted against each other
in bitter primary battles.
Hoover Plays the Game
Certain politicians profess to see
significance in the fact that Lowden,
Harding and Hoover have personally
issued absolute mandates that their
followers must make ne attack on any
rival candidate. In so doing they
have obviously left the way open for
any compromise that may be made on
the fleor of the convention.
The Democratic campaign has been
particularly free from any bitterness
other than a few factional disputes in
Isolated communities that will have
no bearing on the general situa ton -

Kansas Farmers Have 21,934, 900
Bushels of 1919 Crop,

Kansas farmers are holding 21,-
$4,000 bushels of the 1919 wheat
crop, according to information gath
cred by j. G. Mohler. secretary of the
state board of agriculture. In April
last year, there were but six million
bushels of wheat in hands of Kansas
producers.
Car shortage is responsible for pres

represents 15.4 per cent of last year
yield. In northwestern counties grow
ers are holding practically 20 per cent
of the 1919 production.
