DDI III HAS
Western Kansas Farmers' Con
ference at Hays June 7 and 8
From Wednesday's Daily.
The farmers of Kansas have been
keenly interested in all recent dis
cussions relative to conservation of
resources, adding to the soil fertil
ity and the development of the farm.
In the institutes now organized in
fvery county the intelligent farmers
of Kansas, the equal in Intelligence
of any other body of farmers In the
world, have been in recent years con
sidering ways and means of doubling
the acre yields of wheat, corn and
other crops. Kansas has two or pos
sibly three distinct farming regions
the east, the central and the ex
treme west. There are distinct con
ditions in each, and these must be
studied.
AtManhattan there is one of the
most completely organized experi
ment stations in the country, but the
conditions there are very different
from the conditions of the western
half, and radically different from
the conditions of the western third
of the state.
At Hays, one hundred seventy
miles west of Manhattan, the state
ownsk as a gift from the United
States government, the largest ex
periment station in the world, nearly
four thousand acres. There at Hays
on June 7, and again on June 8, the
president of the agricultural college,
the director of all state experimental
work, and the superintendent of that
big station wish to welcome thous
ands of the thoughtful farmers of
the great western empire. Work is
being conducted at Hays at the ex
pense of the state and nation, and
the best way in which the authori
ties can show evidence of the value
of the work, the wisdom of their
expenditures, is to have their em
ployers, the tax payers of Kansas,
visit the big farm and see for them
selves and hear the report of the
work done and explanation of meth
ods employed.
They therefore issue to the public
especially the public of western Kan
sas, an Invitation to attend the first
annual conference on western Kansas
farming problems at Hays, on Tues
day, June 7, and Wednesday, June
. 8th.
The morning hours from 9:30 to
12:30 will be spent visiting fields
of the station and the herds, and the
general conference will be held from
2:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon. Ad
dresses will be made by President
Waters, DIrcetor Webster and Super
Jntendent Ten Eyck. A represents
tive from the United States depart
ment of agriculture is also expected
to be present for an address. While

t a short and harmonious meeting
of the base ball team was held last
evening at the council chamber, to
accept the resignations of Charles
Grimes as president, William Egen-
berger as treasurer and J. P. Fal
ter and A. II. Koubek as directors
of the organization. These gentle
men found that the business of the
organization took more time than
they could spare hence they asked to
be relieved. It was decided not to
fill the places for the present at
least, except that of treasurer which
was necessary. Manager E. Brant-
ner was chosen as treasurer. A
committee consisting of Henry A.
Schneider, William Fitzgerald and
Frank Warren was appointed to
check up and audit the books of the
treasurer and make the transfer
from Mr. Egenberger to Mr. Brant
ner. The retiring officers thanked
the ball team for their excellent work
and congratulated them upon the
able management which Mr. Brant
ner had given them. The meeting
adopted a resolution of thanks to
the retiring officers for their work
for the organization.
The general sense of the meeting
was that the local team is now in
better shape than it has been for

Farmers generally who are in the

wet and cold weather is causing a
great loss to corn. Cut worms have

a large family of small children
"Grandma" Adams was a loving
mother, always working hard to
make the home more comfortable
for her family, but no matter how
heavy and many the duties of home
might be, she was never too tired to
go and care for a sick friend or help
a neighbor
After securing several farms near
Plattsmouth, "Grandma and Grand
pa" Adams moved onto a ranch in
the western part of the state in
1884, and after three years time they
moved onto a farm near Eagle, from
which place they moved into Eagle
where they lived until death called
them home.

miiuuiu ui corn which is ueing re
planted exceeds that of many years
back. The corn which is coming up
Is not looking at all good, the plant
being pale and spindling and show
ing the effects of the adverse spring.
A great many of the farmers are tak
ing their chances with a short stand
and in cases where two-thirds or
three-quarters of the field is coming
up they are not planting. Others are
going to the extreme and if the
stand does not show up well, they
are replanting the entire product. A
change from the cool, chilly weather
to some more seasonable weather Is
greatly desired.
The damp, cool weather, however,
has acted as a tonic to small grain
and wheat and oats have made great
strides durhij the past several woeks.
Where there had been fields with a
light, scattering growth some few
weeks ago, most of them now have
a fairly good showing and the indi
cations are for an improved yield of
small grain over what was looked
for several weeks slncu. This is due
to the rains which have been gen
erous in the past month and the con
tinued cool weather which is bet
ter for small grain than hot weather.
This will serve to offset some of the
loss which apparently is taking place
in the corn fields.
The grain markets are feeling the
effect of the probably increased yield
of small grain and have broken very
sharply. In sympathy corn has like
wise eased off but there is little rea
son to believe it will fall very far.
The harvest of wheat in the south
west is well along now and the in
dications are for an abundance.

Do Considerable Damage at the
Baseball Park.
Last night considerable damage
was done to the bleachers and play
ers benches at the base ball park by
three boys who seem to have thought
they were privileged to enter the
grounds and tear up the property of
the ball team without regard to any
thing the club had to say. The first
notice of the trouble there was re
ceived by Manager Brantner from
John Mauer who discovered the
three as they were having a merry
time at their work. He stopped
them before they had proceeded too
far and at once called Mr. Brantner
up, telling him of what had taken
place.
The three fellows were Verner and
Walter Rakow and Edgar Wlttstruck.
Mr. Brantner this morning at once
started on the trail of the young
men and had a great deal of trouble
in locating them. He finally found
the Verner Rakow was employed at
the Burlington shops in the freight
car department and he had Chief
Ralney call upon the young man this
afternoon and escort him down town
where he could interview Judge Arch
er. That official after listening to
what damage had been done, con
eluded the city ordinances did not
provide a penalty for the offense and
had Rakow taken over to see the
county attorney. The latter was ab
sent in Omaha on business, so no
complaint was filed pending his re
turn when he will Investigate the
matter. Rakow was permitted to
return to his work.- The other two
boys will also be taken into custody
later should the county attorney con
elude to prosecute, which is more
than likely.
When taken by Chief Ralney Ra
kow gave as his reason for his ac
tlons that he wanted to have Borne
fun. Manager Brantner is deter
mined to put an end to this kind of
fun and intends to make an example
out of the boys with a view to pre
venting any more such humorous
outbreaks. While the damage done
Inst evening was not very great, it
is Just as well to nip such demon
stratlons In the bud and see that
small boys and any other maliciously
disposed persons are given to under
stand that such proceedings will not
be tolerated. The matter will un
doubtedly receive a further airing
tomorrow after the return of County
Attorney Ramsey and steps will be
taken to protect and preserve the
property at the park
