AGRICULTURE IN KANSAS.
Former Secretary of Agriculture Wil*
eon Praieoe the State College*.
‘‘Kansas is turning from a primary
interest In politics to a prtmary Inter-
est In agriculture,” declared Dr. James
Wilson, for sixteen years United States
secretary of agriculture and one Of the
leading agricultural figures of Ameri-
ca, who made a recent address at the
Kansas Stute Agricultural college.
“The Held of study aud practice In
agriculture is practically limitless,'
continued Dr. Wilson. “There are
problems of soils, crop production and
animal breeding to be solved every
day. .
“Kansas, like every other farming
state, needs more Interest In domestic
animals. A successful agriculture cau-

At the coming Bed River, Valley
Fair, October 4, 5. 6, 7,'special atten-
tion will bo given to collecting ami
displaying mineral resources of the
groat Red River valley section of
southern Oklahoma and northetJF
Texas. Julian <’. Field, civil onginePr
of Denison, has been ap|s>lnted siqier-

ing Mr. Field will bo Professor O. C.
Scott, head of the department of

The other members of the committee

In discussing the probabilities of
having a big mineral exhibit Mr. Field
said:

more dairying, for which it is un-
usually well adapted, it needs more
live stock of every kind.”
The state, in the belief of Dr. Wil-
son, is to be particularly congratulated
on its agricultural college.
“I have just visited twelve agricul-
tultural colleges," he said, "and none
of them is dolug more for the people of
the
ehilena, or Chilean palm, which pro-
duces large bushes of a species of nuts
with a soft outer covering of green.
When this Is cut away a hard shell is
revealed, resembling a miniature cocoa-
nut. The flavor Is strikingly similar
to the cocoanut In railway carriages
the schoolboy, with a reckless disre-
gard for the conventions as well as
for property, finds an instrument ready
at hand for breaking opeu the hard
nuts. Without ado he proceeds to
utilize the window frame, which must
be brought down wltb considerable
force to accomplish the desired results.
Consequently broken panes are not un- j
common. Besides, as one writer puts

Famous Curfew Tower.
Cbertsey, Surrey, can vie with Ban

only In recent years that the old cus-

fits derived from its use.
Transptnnting»Young Tree*.
Forest tree seedlings should be trans-
planted at the age of one year so that
they may develop a compact root sys-
tem, according to the department of
horticulture hi the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
Young trees make fl large develop-
ment of roots in proportion to the rest
of the plaut In many species the root
system develops two or three times
the length of the stem. Transplanting
at the end of a year permits the roots
to be shortened without danger to the
plant This results In developing a
greater number of lateral roots. Oaks,
pecans and other trees that make n
strong,* heavy taproot must be trans-
planted when a year old If they are to
be transplanted successfully later.
Nursery stock should be transplanted
frequently until the plauts reach suf-
ficient size for permanent planting.
Secretary WllsAn is Interested espe-
cially in work among boys and girls.
When he was secretary of agriculture
be introduced the crop contest plan
nmeng the children of the south with
unprecedented results. He regards ef-
forts of this kind, together with the
teaching of agriculture in the schools
i and colleges, as among the most hope-
ful signs for a practical farming sys-
tem of permanent worth.
Agricultural education. Dr. Wilson
states, is occupying a more and more
prominent place in the east, where for-
merly it attracted no Interest Agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta-
tions have there, ns in the west pro-
duced crop yields per acre much in ex-
cess of those obtained by farmers in
the state.
LIVE STOCK NOTES.
Seed Potato Cutting*.
The fact that the seed end half of the
potato gives sn earlier crop than the
other hal^auggests the expediency of
cutting mi potatoes lengthwise when
halves or quarters are to be planted.
In this way one or more eyes which
germinate first will be secured on each
piece. Another advantage of cutting
lengthwise ts that It Insures a more
natural gas resources of northern
Texas and southern Oklahoma.
“One of the largest granite de-
posits of Oklahoma is found in
Johnston county. There Is in Johns
ton county deposits of gold that have
excited considerable Interest, and a
fine exhibit of this can be had. Ex
titbits of petroleum ami gas can be
bad from Marshall, Carter and Gray-
son counties. From each of the conn-
tie* In southern Oklahoma ami north-
ern Texas can lie gathered soil ex-
hibits that will lie Interesting and in-
teresting and Instructive and of splen-
did advertising value to the counties
in question.
“Such an exhibit will have a tre-
mendous influence In helping the de-
velopment of the mineral and agri-
cultural resources of northern Texas
and southern Oklahoma."

Brussels Sprouts.
This vegetable belongs to the cab-
bage family nnd will grow under very
nearly the same conditions as cabbage
as to soil and water, but they should
be set out about ten days earlier and
should bfallowed to remain In the field
at least ajveek later than late cabbage.
This plant ts a heavy nitrogen feed-
er, therefore tlie soil should be heavily
manured.
Brussels sprouts taste much like cab-
bage. but do not resemble cabbage at
all In appearance. The plant Itself
grows rather blgb nnd has a large cen-
tral stalk. From this stalk large leaves
are produced. At the junction of tbe
leaves with tbe stalk there are small
beads formed. These are seldom over
one and one-balf Inch In diameter, and
tbese small beads are tbe ediblo por-
tion.
This plant has as advantage over(
cabbage In that the heads need not all
be gathered n* one time. Whenever a1
mess of sproiW Is wanted tbe oldest |
and lowest beads are tuken and the
others are left to mature.—E. F. Me-
