The reservation is twenty: five
miles from Topeka, and contains
about eleven square miles Of land.
Approximately five hundred Indians
are living there, and the land Is
farmed. The white mans civiliza-
tion has flowed around the little re-

white mans civilization has, OF
course, been absorbed by the Potta-

MRS. KILBUCK IN ALASKA
Kansas Woman Takes Aid Again to
Children of Far North

Abilene will remember Mrs. Kill
buck, who was so exceptionally well
received by the high school and by
the women's missionary societies
here last year. The following Is a
transcript of a letter just received
from her father, splendid octogen-
arian, living at Independence, Kan
sas. Mrs. Kilbuck Is a cousin OF
Miss LYDIA ROmig Of the public H.
brary. After having served what
she deemed to be her full share OF
vigorous years in Alaska, she had
retired to the farm home near Otta-
wa, but the ravages Of the hu left
great numbers Of parentless chill
dren whose heart-cry was too strong
for Mrs. Kilbuck to resist.
Her father writes that upon reach
ing Alaska, "She was made general
and financial superintendent Of the
government hospital at Akiak, a
work for which she was well suited,
and which she greatly enjoyed-ex-
cept for the character and conduct
of the government doctor who had
made himself everything a doctor
should not be. She says that Of all
the years spent in Alaska this was
the most trying, but happily that is
all over and the doctor got "per-
mission" at once to resign and re-
turn to the states. DR.. Kilbuck Is
still superintendent Of schools for
that district. After next June they
will again return to their work at
the mission" DR.. Kilbuck was the
federal representative in charge Of
the reindeer industry.

Vocational agriculture" says
Oscar .steanson, head OF the depart
ment at Abilene high school, "as
taught In the high schools OF the
country, means that the students
taking that course occasionally get
their hands dirty the same as hon

staying In a nice clean warm room

"Friday both the morning and

ing from good to bad. In this one
lot the boys saw steers Of the Here
ford, Shorthorn, Angus and Galloway
bereds and many mixtures OF these
breeds. As the steers have all been
treated alike the degree Of finish OF
these breeds gave the boys some idea
Of the relative efficiency Of these
breeds as beef producing machines.
Mr.. Whitehair says that he doesn't
know 1t all yet although he has been
In the business for thirteen years.
He has learned much from e1per-
ience. Vocational agriculture Is try

to the boys through acquaintance
with feeders who know the business
and they are always anxious to show
and tell the boys all they can," Mr..
Steason added"
"Several weeks ago" he said, "the
bows witnessed the testing Of herd
of Holstein cows. They were own
ed by Mr.. Lenhert Of Navarro and
were being tested by DIR. Osborne.
DR.. Osborne explained and showed
the boys the various tests, how they
were made, and the reactions that
resulted. Numerous other trips have

The boys now work out these theOr-

can efficiently operate automobiles
and tractors on their farms.
"Several valuable opportunities
have been given by nearby farmers

SNOW WAS BENEFICIAL
More Wheat Moving. Cattle 0sln,
Says Report

Says Report
Farm conditions are more promis-
ing, according to the weekly crop re-
port OF the State Board Of Agricui-
ture. The eastern and north-cen-
tral parts OF Kansas received good
snow on wednesday night and
Thursday Of the past week which fell
without wind and practically no
drifting occurred. In the northeast
the fall was from four to six
inches, from six to seven inches De-
ing reported in the southeastern ana
from two to three inches In the
north central section. In the south
central and most counties OF the
north west no snowfall is reported
and only a trace is shown In the
southwest. The snow formed nne
blanket on the wheat in the eastern
mart of the state and warmer weafe-
er following melted It to a great ex-
tent, practically all OF the moisture
going into the ground.
More wheat is reported moving TO
market than the previous week.
especially in the northern half OF the
state, owing to a Strengthening OF
the local markets. In many counties
the local price paid for wheat during
the past week is given as between
81 go to $1.70. Corn is ranging
from fifty to seventy cents bushel
but very little is moving at those
prices. :l :. ,
Cattle on full feed are making
GOOD gains because Of the open win
ter but prices Of both cattle and
hogs are very discouraging to the
farmer. A few cases of hog cholera
are still being reported in two or
three Of the eastern Kansas counties
but the situation seems to be well
under control.
