Cow Testing Associations in Kansas

Cow Testing Associations in Kansas
Cow testing associations in Kansas
are becoming more numerous all the
time according to C. r. Gearhart, ex-
tension dairyman, Kansas State Agri-
cultural College. Counties already
having active associations are viz:
Bourbon, Clay, Lyon, Dickinson,
Cowley, Reno, Labette, Montgomery,
Washington, Jackson, and Shawnee.
Counties likely to form associations
are: Rocks, Douglas, Doniphan,
Nemaha, Morris, Kingman, and
Harper.
Mr.. Gearhart reports that a large
number of other counties are very de-
sirous of obtaining these associations,
as a direct result of the pure Bred
Sire Campaign" and are busy making
the required prerequisites. To obtain
an association, one must have enough
herds to keep a tester busy every day
in the month and the herds must be
close enough to permit the tester To
change each day. An up-to-date test
ing outfit must also be owned.

K. S. A. c. NOTES
Buffalo WaIIows Doomed in Plans fol
Harvesting

Ponds, in Pratt county, locally
known as buffalo wallows, are rapidly
being drained out before harvest
time. These ponds have usually filed
with water sometime during the har-
vest causing great inconven-
fence and loss of time and grain.
Since Pratt county wheat fields
are big and the harvesting
machinery, consisting of tractors,
combine harvesters and headers, is
heavy. solid ground is required for
the most efficient operation. Having
no natural outlet, proper ditching is
necessary for drainage. In most
cases the drainage is simple and in
expensive and can be accomplished
by constructing simple open bitches.
The drainage and irrigation de-
partment of the state agricultural
college extension service, has been
cooperating with the Pratt county
farm bureau in working out plans
for a number of individual farm
drainage systems.
H. B. Walker in charge of this
work, says, "a few hours work at this
season of the year may save many
acres of wheat at harvest time, be-
sides making a saving in time and
labor for the entire field, since with
drainage, turning in the field to avoid
soft spots, is unnecessary"

PORTLAND EVENING EXPRESS.
1t is evidently Secretary Hughes
idea that the way to disarm is to
disarm. The Washington plan. as
submitted by him to the confer
ence, Is no temporizing or half
way proposal. The American Sec
rotary apparently sees no need of
the powers feeling their way along
In the matter of limitation Of naval
armament. He would cut deep at
the start and thus bring real re-
lief from the burden which Is
driving the world to bankruptcy.

abundant reason for hope Of its

LABOR BACKING TROLLEY CO.
 BILL


 Charges that the Connecticut Co. was receiving unfair treatment and calling for drastic legislation for the regulation of jitneyS as common car fiers, Ira N. Osburn, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, ap- peared before the Judiciary commit tee of the state legislature yesterday fin support of a measure that would place the Jurisdiction of jitneys in Commission. The bill was drawn for the labor body by Secretary On burn, and is reputed to have the support of the Connecticut company and several representatives of rac- ton interests.
 < The unfair jitney competition to (which the trolleys are subjected was DViforously assailed by Onburn, whose ( support of the transportation con- 5cern was unexpected. Ornburn spoke lociaIiy for the labor federation and prise by the intimation that the stae labor body was behind the traction interests in fighting the jitneys.
 In his brief and concise statement to the committee, Ornburn declared that the trolleys were operating against unfair competition, and that |At was no more than equitable that |Ejitneys should. be placed on the same |Fbasis as tro1leys by converting them into common carriers and placing them under the Jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission. Severa, other trolley representatives spoke al the hearing in favor of the meas ure,. including Frank O'Meara, officia trolley representative, and Judge J Moss Ives, receiver of the Danbury and Bethel Street Railway line.
