The Kansas City ‘witnesses confined themselves to.a ‘straightforward statement of the city’s business, the extent of its ter- ‘Titory and the preferences of busi- ness in that:territory as to the loca: tion of a-reserve bank to serve that territory. The witnesses were from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Ok lahoma, Srna From Ardmore, Ok., the furthest point south represented, to Falla City, Neb., on the north, Kansas City was the favorite, being the natural business center, and the witnesses declared their natural course of bust { ness would be seriously interfered with under any other program. But One Dissenting Voice. . Thirty-one witnesses were exam- ined. A)l of these except one strong- ly favored Kansas City as a place for one of the reserve banks. All of the witnesses except. eight were from points outside of Kansas City, The eight Kansas City men who. testified gave merely essential details about the ety, representing authoritatively the big- lines of business. The one witness who opposed Kan- sas City was a St. Joseph banker, who said he also opposed St. Louis ‘and wanted to be attached to the Chicago Reserve Bank, 5 The committee composed of William ‘G.

Wash'n3ton, Jan, 27,—Radium as a cure for certain malignant growths still is in an experimental stage and its use in the treatment of ‘internal trouble results fatally in a iarge per- centage of cases, according to the testimony before the house mines committee of Dr. William H. Camp- bell, director of the-Radium Clinic of Pennsylvania. Doctor Campbell told the committee that so far as the deep- er. cases are concerned, “we cannot tell at this time what the outcome of the radium treatment will be. “We can tell,” he said, “that there is a disappearance of the tumor; that the radium. causes the disintegration of the tissue, but something is created in that disappearance which is ab- sorbed by the blood and which kills my patients, I cannot tell, nobody can tell for four or five years, just “what the results will be.” “How many pf-your patients have died as a result of your treatment?” | | ‘cent.

Depreciation is not exactly propor- tional to the acreage cut or acreage | covered, Age is a factor that reduces values, as well as usage of the ma- chine. A binder which cuts~ 1,000 acres in two years will not be reduced cuts 1,060 acres in 10 years. There fore, the dépreciation charge is much iarger an acre on small farms than on large, Machines that have heavy usage, | such as corn binders, depreciate rap- | idly. The same is true of the more | complicated machinery, such as thresh- | ing machines. New kinds of machin- ery depreciates more rapidly, than wore that have been in use for sey- | years. Manure spreaders depre- | ciaté rapidly because the manure rots them, A crowbar or a post maul may be just as good at the end of 25 years as when bought.

Doctor Campbell demurred at this, but finally said that two out of five cages treated ended fatally.

PACIFIC COAST FLOODSWEPT Entire Western Seaboard Swept by Gales—Traffic on the Overland “Lines Tied Up.« San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 27.—The entire western seaboard of the United States continued in the grip of the worst storm recorded this season. The second day closed with rail trans- portation facilities crippled by floods, cloudbursts, washouts and land slides. The southern and mountainous re- gions of California received the brunt of the rain and snow laden gales. In the Sierras the snowfall was unusual- ly heavy. Traffic on the overland lines of the Southern Pacffic has‘ been tied up since yesterday, and 200 pleas- ure seeking Shriners, with 150 mem- bers of other organizations attracted to Truckee, Cal.; by a winter carnival were marooned in the snow. WRECK ON THE ROCKISLAND One Man Killed and Three Others In- jJured When a Freight Locomo- ‘tive Turned Over.

The per tapita production of the country as a whole increased from 5.6 bushels in 1860 to 9.2 bushels in 1880—due Jarge- ly to the use of binders; The success- ful management‘ of a modern farm de- pends largely upon the efficiency of the equipment. with which the work is performed. Statistics were gathered on 33 farms in Ohio, It was found that the aver- age size of farms was 165.8 acres, the value, $46.25 an acre and the machin- ery per farm was valued at $1,325.48. Figuring the depreciation at the rate | of 8.24 per cent, it is found that each farmer had to pay $109.22 a year for depreciation alone. And. in addition | there is a bill of $79.53 a year for in- terest on his investment in tools. It seems that such expensive property should be well cared for. By the 1910 census the implements and machin- ery on the farms of the United States were valued at $1,265,149,783, The sav- ing which would come to the farmers of the country by extending the life of each machine one year would be an | immense addition to the annual pro- fits. No merchant or manufacturer would expect to make a profit unless , he exercised the strictest economy and took the best care of hig equip- ment. Yet many farmers-buy .expen- sive Implements costing as high as $100 or more and give them no care whatever. | ab Teg Depreciation is a charge-‘from | which none .can escape, but it can be gteatly lessened by judicious manage- , ment, Care in use, in cleaning and in | housing will do much to'extend the | life of an implement,.

WASHES CAUSE HEAVY LOSS By M. F. Miller, Professor of Agron | omy, University of Mis- souri. r Stop the washes. When washes in fields, caused by heavy rains, start they should be} stopped at once by means of straw or refuse. Large washes can be tilled by persistent elfort, but it takes strenu- ous measures to do this. It is better to stop the small washes than to have to fill big ones. There is no greater loss to the farms of Missouri than that brought about by washing of the fields during heavy rains. This loss is greater than the logs through cropping. Most farmers do not realize the fact. One has only to visit the southern states, where the land is rolling and of.a nature which washes readily, to see what havoc can be wrought by the rains. While this injury is not so great in the corn bett, mainly because of more level lands and of more freezing during the win- ter, the spring, summer and fall losses on all-rolling lands are very great un- yt der the average, system of soil man- agement. ~ Land should never be left without a caver during ‘the winter if it can be helped. Stalk land offers great op- portunity for washing. It does not al- seem to be possible to cover this ye or other grain crop during winter, but the time is coming m this will always be done on roll- ‘i plowing, w : fall. plow- gectced, at untouched he Where Tand is handled by a tenant | it is the duty of the landlord to make | the conditions sufficiently lenient that | he may establish a definite under- standing as to the care of the land. | Usually there is no understanaing, | and especially with the system of one- year leases no effort whatever is made | to prevent washing, Sometimes the tenant is to blame, sometimes the landlord, depending upon what sort of a contract exists between | $3.50 RECIPE FREE * FOR WEAK MEN Send Name and Address Today—You Can Have It Free and Be Strong. and Vigorous We have in our posseasion a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and ‘iaine back, them, | brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many Every landlord should realize that it; worn and nervous men right in their cwm is his duty and that it is to his advan- tage to prevent this washing.

University of Mis. | souri. What is the proper seed bed for + pats? Results of ‘various experiments show that, while it usually pays to prepare | a seed bed, either by plowing or by | | discing, which will allow the oats to be drilled in, it rarely pays to plow | stalk land for oats. A sharp disc har- | row properly used is usually sufficient for preparing a seed bed after corn, Naturally, a better seed bed cam be | prepared by plowing, but the extra ex- ; pense does not usually warrant the- effort. ‘ This does not mean that oats should | be “mudded” in, as is so commonly | done. It is. true that sometimes where | a man dan get his oats sown. very early by mudding them in he gets a} much better yield than where he waits | until the ground will work properly, | but one year with another this is not} the case. On the average, it will pay | better to wait until the land can be; thoroughly. prepared for drilling in} the oats. It is true, further, that drilling does | not always pay better than broadcast: | ing, although on the average it Goes. | This is a seasonal matter.. \ a‘great temptation for one to gamble | on the weather and rush oats in very | early, because this occasionally gets a! very fine crop, but it is the average.’ results that are important in the long; run, and'this means better seed bed | preparation and the use of a drill.
