KANSAS FARMERS CAPITALISTS
Farming Is Becoming More and More
Mechanical

Kansas farmers were 81 per cent
richer in 1920 than they were in
1910, according to federal census
figures just received here from
Washington. That is, farmers OF
this state were worth so per cent
more collectively. Individually they
were worth IS per cent more, be-
cause the number of farmers de-
creased by 1855.
The value of all farm property in
1920 was $4,000, S06,1S7, as COM
pared with $2,O39,91O in 1910. That
agriculture in this state Is becoming
more and more "mechanicaT" In
dustry is indicated by the fact that
the value of implements and machin-
ery increased from $48,31O,161 In
1910 to $154,716,077 In 1920. This
was an increase of 220.3 per cent.
The value of land and buildings
last year was $2.s3O,O63,91s as COM
pared to $1,737,556,172 decade
ago. Livestock in the same period
in value from $685.
SIT to $31s,025,292.
The farmer of today apparently
must be a capitalist in a small way.
The average Kansas farm in 1920,
equipped for active production, was
valued at approximately $4,000.

SAVE MONEY ON FREIGHT
Kansas Member of Great Lakes-St.
LGWrence Association

Kansas is the sixteenth state to
become member of the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence Tidewater Association
which proposes to open the st. Law
renee river to deep water navigation
and thus make Of the Great Lakes an
American Mediterranean.
Governor Allen this week annOunc-
ell that Kansas has Joined the council
Of states and appointed Clyde NJ.
Reed, chairman Of the public utili-
ties commission, and Senator 0. O..
Wolff Of Ottawa, as vice president.
The governor is ex-officio member
+of the council.
The tremendous importance Of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence project to
Kansas and other states in this Sec
ton is revealed when 1t is known
that the association estimates 10
cents a bushel will be saved in the
transportation Of grain to the world
markets by ocean freight. In the six
teen states whose farm price level
it is believed would inevitably be i'm
proved by a reduction Of the trans
portation cost to European markets,
there is grown 1904 million bushels
of grain. II such a reduction Of 10
cents could be fully reflected to the
farm price in this area, the net gain
to producers would be $685., 000,00O
in single year. Based on 1920 pro-
duction, Kansas farmers would be
not less than $4O,0OO,OOO.

Warm, sunshiny weather, with
maximum temperature of 100 de-

out Kansas the week ending May 81.
The dry spell was broken Thursday
when the first moderate rain In sew
eral weeks fell. 1t covered the east

part got only few showers.
The rain which fell in the latter
part of the week improved the out
look for wheat, according to- b. Il.

practically all headed out In the
southern part of the state, and In
some places shows signs Of ripening.
Dry weather and high winds have
had a bad effect on the wheat in the
western part Of the state. 1t is claim
ed that the result Of the freezes Is

MILK IoNiR0L IN ENvlAND
How Britain Solved the MIX Short
age During the War


age Daring the War
The following article written by
Judson c. welliver, and appearing in
the National Geographic Magazine
Of October, 1918, will be Of interest
to the people OF this county:
Before the war had ever approach
ed its climax, Britain discovered that
It faced a shortage, among other
Others, Of milk. The government
guaranteed very high prices to in
duce production; but the sacrifice Of
herds, blowing up Of grass lands, and
deficiency of labor rendered stimula-
tive efforts futile. There was not
enough milk to go around in the old,
easy way, and administration step
ped In to insure first against pro-
-fiteering and second that those who
who most needed 1t should have their
share of the milk.
Observe the results. Some months
ago the British Medical Association
discussed some remarkable vital sta
tistics. 1t found that for the last
preceding year the death rate among
infants under Ave years old had been
about one-half the rate in pre-war
times. 1t was phenomenon beyond
the comprehension of anything but
common sense. The medical author
tiles applied that test and issued
their verdict.
For the first time in the modern
history Of Britain there had been
milk enough for all the babies, and
good milk.
But If the adult patron Of pub
lie eating house buys and drinks a
glass of milk as beverage, he Is la
BILE to a fine Of FIVE pounds, and the
proprietor subject himself to a like
penalty.
If anybody imagines that here
after Britain will return to the Gus
toms of 1.-The good old days when
for want of milk twice as many Brit
ish babies enjoyed the privilege of
dying, he is far from understanding
what is going on in the English pub
lie mind today.

LEST WE FORGET!

Ii s we'll to review, occasionally, the terms of the treaty of Paris and the covenant of the league of nations, that the American people may not forget what they escaped when the treaty and league were rejected by the United States senate and the American people.
 The idea of "mandatrS' was invented by General Shuts as means of stripping Ger many of her colonial possessions, and annex ing them to the victorious poWcrs without giv- ing th" defeated nation an opportunity to set mp the loss of these possessions as part pay mcnt of indemnity.
 Under this system many thousands of square miles of territory were taken from Ger many and turned over to the allies The pur- pose was to transfer the ownership of this ter ritory to the victorious powers without ap- bearing to do so; by this time everyone real izes that the word "mandate" is a mere pre- tense, and that the territory thus transferred belongs to the nations to which it was ccded.
 All the valuable possessions of Germany and Turkey went to France and England. The United States was offered mandate over Armenia and the municipal district of Constan- tinople. These territories were so restricted under the treaty that acceptance of control over them would have imposed heavy oblga- tions without this government receiving the least benefit; yet President Wilson urged the senate to undertake the responsibilities inn posed under this mandate
 To preserve order in the territory thus of fered would have required the maintenance of an army of occupation numbering fifty thou

ALASKA DAY

Alaska Day, October lSth., markes the fittv- fourth anniversary of the transfer of what IS now the territory of Alaska from Russia to the United States. This vast Empire contain ing approximately 600,OOO square miles of ter rtory was purchased for $7,2OO,OOO, represent ing less than two cents per acre. The total mineral production of Alaska from the date of purchase to the year l92O more than sixty times the purchase price. The fisheries during the last decade alone have yielded more than forty times the amount of the purchase price. There is every reason to believe that neither of these great industries has reached the peak of production The coal anl oil fields are practically meXplorcd. Those who know state that the coal fields of the Matamuska and Bering River valleys are more than equal in extent to the original coal fields of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Timber for use in the paper and pulp industry is being utilized for the first time in the history of the territory. Billions of cords of such wood are situated at points which are readily accessible to present or possible mill sites William H. Seward ccr tainIv caused Uncle Sam to SOW seed which was destined to bring forth many an hundred fold when he urged and consummatcd the pur- chase of Alaska.
 But Alaska Day should have a broader sig mticancc than as the anniversary of tl" ad- dtion of a vast amount of wealth to the Unit eel States. As we celebrate the day we should see beyond the great extent of territory, be- yond immediate and future treasure. The ob- scrvance of the day should inspire in every man and woman, every boy and girl, love for 1nd loyalty to this great NorthIand and to the nation of which we are a part and should make each realize anew what it means to be under the influence of American ideals and a citizen of the greatest republic in the world.

ALASKA YEAR" IN SIGHT FOR NORTH
 AND SEATTLE

Seattle has about year during which 1t can cooperate with all the other enterpris- ing communities of the Pacific Northwest in getting a real tourist campaign started.
 In that year, if the work of preparation and publicity is conducted with enthusiasm and success, machinery will be created for attract ing summer visitors in great numbers and for serving them after they arrive.
 Then Seattle, again in cooperation with for wardlookng communities in the Pacific North west must turn its attention upon Alaskan development.
 Some time next year. if President Harding's plans mature all the various federal bureaus administering Alaskan affairs will be co-ord mated and, if possible, all their labors will be grouped under a single head
 What this will mean to the Norhland. cv- cry Alaskan resident in Seattle knows
 Ii will not take a man months or years to obtain patent to homestead. Utilization of resources wifi not be arbitrarily delayed by bureau officials ignorant to conditions in the territory. The great northern treasure house no longer will be closed by bonds of official red tape.
 Under intelligent progressive leadership and administration, the country will enter mp. on new era of development in wealth, in dustry, transportation and population.
 Seattle must be alert to forward all con strucivc labors in Alaska's behalf Ii will need and will welcome friendly help, provided effort is not made to force appointccs or pol lcics upon it.
 None know better than the residents of this city what are the possibilities of the north country what it can do industriaIIy what pop mlation it can support in comfort and to what an extent it's trade will grow under favorable circumstances.
 Big things for the territory should develop dmin" the coming year. It may be that b". fore th" twrve-momth period is ended, we shall be in the midst of dig drive on behalf of Alaska and for the furthcrng of Seattle s natural interest in the opening up of that country.
 At this state of national affairs, it appears certain that no longer period can oIapsc be- fore another and perhaps the greatest of all rcvvaIs in territorial history will be in full SWing.-Scattlc Times
