Kansas has gone far beyond the period of experimentation in the production of Kaffir or Jerusalem corn. Flour made from this grain is now becoming a staple article in some parts of the state. It is pro nounced satisfactory. Greenwood county raied 12,S62 acres of thei new cereal last season. Barber county, with about the same acre age, reaped a crop worth 593.312. The total for the state in 1385 was 515.932 acres, valued at 53. 935, 475. It is thought that this will be doubled in 1S. The experiment station at Man hattan has been working for six years on the new corn. Fields have been planted side by side with the common Indian corn aad careful measurements taken of the amount and value and cost of the product. The results are amazing. The red Kaffir corn has yielded aa average of 55.01 buseels per acre of grain and 4.71 tons of i odder. The average of the Indian corn has been 39.12 bushels of gram and 2.41 tons of fodder. These figures and the stories told by the enthusiastic raisers of the new corn will encourage the farmers of the entire plains regioa to go into KaSr culture on an ex tensive scale in the next few years. It has been demonstrated that Kafir corn, sorghum, alfalfa and sugar beets will successfully stand any drouth ever known on the west ern plains. The doors to prosperity is now open to every Nebraska farmer who has the gumption to begin cultivating the new crops. State Journal. Secretary Hoke Smith thinks the republicans will not have a walk away in the contest for the presi dency. He says th&tthe democrats "with the right kind of a platform on the money question, the right kind ot a declaration against high protection, and the right kind of a candidate will be able to contest every inch of ground and make the issue doubtful until the last vote is counted." The secretary's rainbow view of future evidently caases him to forgel the past. Democracy hasn't been abjfe to jret one thin" right in, the past, and if it should now get three things right it wouldn't be recognized by its own children, and they would hurry to vote for the other fellow.
