Wet weather in sowing season has
reduced oats acreage to 1,4S7, 341 as

A total of 57.373 acres has been
planted to potatoes. Last year it was

Kansas farmers sowed $4,000 acres
to barley-an increase of 1871 per
cent over 1921. 1t is the largest acre

Alfalfa conditions are excellent
Present conditions are S9.1 as against
G53 following late freezes a year ago.
Pastures are flourishing and the
grazing season will open generally
May 1. Pasture conditions are 93-
There is a slight increase in spring
pigs owing to favorable markets.
Fruit trees-at date of reporting,
April 15-were showing at 92 per

have occurred in some communities
since that time
1t is estimated that 11,564,3O0 bush

Reports also show 2S,6S4,7O0 bushels

As supplementary Ration for Dairy
Herd, It's Best. Saws Professor.

Herd, It's Best, Says Professor
written by X s. A G journalism SIN
dents especially for the Associated
Rress-)
Manhattan. Kan. April 22.-"Sflagc
Is the most economical feed as a sup
plement for a dairy herd on summer
pasture declares r. 3. Becker of
the Kansas State Agricultural college
dairy department.
Not every dairy farmer realizes the
necessity Of supplying some supple
ment during the short pasture period
OF the summer" Becker continued.
During the summer drouth in July
and August, the pastures get very
short and unless the dairy COW is sup
piled with extra feed. milk production
viii decrease. Such a decrease in
milk production reduces the profits
that would be possible to obtain from
each COW.
1t is almost impossible to restore
the milk flow to the original amount
after IL is once allowed to run down
from lack Of feed BY the time win
ter arrives when the prices for milk
products are the highest, the COW is
producing very little milk. One should
realize the necessity OF supplying the
summer supplement during this peri
Cd. and provide economical feed for
his dairy herd
Silage probably comes nearer to
filling the requirements for summer
supplement than any other feed, ac-
cording to Becker. For the most eco
nomicaI use of silage the herd must
consist of fifteen or twenty COWS or
more, he declared.

board of agriculture, states that only

Only twice in ten years has the winter

Changes may later be made in the

the I. o. o. +. Grand Lodge of
Kansas Was Held I'm 1888.
The Independent order of odd Eel
lows has been closely interviewer with
the history OF Kansas. The first sub
ordinate lodge, Shawnee lodge No. 1,
of Topeka, was instituted March 2,
1857 at Tecumseh. The first home of
the lodge was in a small second story
room of a story and onc-half log
cabin This was when Topeka and
Tecumseh were fighting for the per-
manent state capitol and county seat.
Tecumseh was then the county seat
and boosted a population double that
OF Topeka There were four original
Castieman. Henry w Martin, Cleb B.
Clments, Francis Grassmack and Jo-
Seph X BartlesOn.
Much Trouble in 1888.
In 1857 and 1858 a number of stir
ring events occurred and the question
Of slavery caused considerable dissen-
sion Several members withdrew in
the spring of 1859. Some of them re-
Joined the lodge later.
In a few years the population of
Topeka exceeded that of Tecumsch
and Tecumseh began to wane. Shaw
nee lodge No 1 was moved to Topeka
in January. 1851 The lodge has
shown considerable growth since that
time and now has several hundred
members. The history of the first
twelve years OF the lodge is only frag-
rnentary as all records including the
original charter were destroyed by fire
in December, 1869.
Grand Lodge Met in 1883.
The first meeting of the grand lodge
