prices of cows, feed, labor and everything else necessary to the operation of a dairy, has appalling, while the price of milk has remained almost the same. In comparison with the prices paid for other food, milk is cheap at 15 cents a quart. A quart ol milk, according to best authorities, is equal in food value to three-fourths of a pound of meat, or to eight'eggs. Surely the public is willing to pay a fair price for dairy products now, rather than have many of these valuable animals milk machines lost to us forever. Plenty of milk at high prices is greatly to be preferred to a shortage of milk with prohibitive prices and the consequent suffering.

Now is the time to save the milk cows, not after they are gone- American Bank Corin Du(lu ud Tol Annit. Wichita Khiu Capital 1150.000. Surplua and Undivided Profit. 150.000. Depoalta Prota-t4 br State Depositors Guarantee Fund.

The following official statement was furnishel The Plaindealer through the courtesy of the Kansas Flour Mills of Wichita: How You Can Aid Inspectors and Facilitate Grading. Carefully classify grain received. This should be done by quality, condition and color.

Clean the car thoroughly before loading. Such matter as coal, fertilizer, on the floor of a loaded car often results in otherwise good grain being graded as sample or other low grade. Carefully cooper cars and watch for leaky roofs. Don't mix in other colors when shipping grain of a given color. Leave at least 30 inches of space between grain and roof of car.

Load the grain uniformly and then level it down. If the proper space is not left between the top line of the grain and the roof of the car a representative sample of the grain cannot be secured. Avoid concentrating dirt, broken grains and meal. If such materials accumulate near the doors or otherwise, distribute it by hand shoveling. Take a representative sample of the loaded grain.

This should be done by probing in at least five different places with a 60-inch trier. The sample should be tested for every factor to determine what grade the grain inspector may be expected to place upon the lot. Sec. 2 Percentages. Percentages, except in the case of moisture, shall be percentages ascertained by weight.

Sec. 3. Dockage. Dockage includes sand, dirt, weed seeds, weed stems, chaff, straw, grain other than wheat, and any other foreign material which can be removed readily from the wheat by the use of appropriate devices, or other prac-suited to separate the foreign material present; also undeveloped, shriveled, and small pieces of wheat kernels necessarily removed in properly separating the foreign material. The quantity of dockage shall be calculated in terms of percentage based on the total weight of the grain, including the dockage.

The percentage of dockage so calculated shall be stated in terms of whole per centum and half per centum. A fraction of a per centum when equal to, or greater than, a half shall be treated as a half, and when Ness than a half shall be disregarded. The percentage of dockage so determined and stated shall be added to the grade designation. Sec. 4 Wheat.

Any grain which, when free from dockage, contains more than six per centum of grain of a kind or kinds other than wheat, shall not be classed as wheat. Sec. 9 Test Weight per Bushel Test weight per bushel shall be the weight per Winchester bushel as determined by the testing apparatus, and the method of use thereof described in liulletin 472, dated October 30, 1916, isued by the United States De-V partnmnt of Agriculture, or as determined by any device giving equivalent results. Sec. 10 Percentage of Moisture.

Percentage of moisture in wheat shall be that, or the equivalent of that, ascertained by the moisture tester and the method of use thereof described In Circular 72, and supplement thereto, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry. Sec. Heat-damaged Kernels. Heat-damaged kernels shall be kernels of wheat which have been di-tinctly discolored as a result of heating caused by fermentation. Sec.

12 Inseparable Foreign Material. Inseparable foreign material shall include all matter other than wheat which is not separated from the wheat in the proper determination of dockage. Sec. 6. Mixed Wheat.

Grades for Smutty Wheat. Sec. 22 Grades for Smutty Wheat. Smutty wheat shall be graded and designated according to the method described either in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) in CMFWYPUPJUP paragraph -(b) of this section.

(a) The loss in weight caused by the removal of smut from the' wheat, when free from dockage, shall be ascertained by scouring, washing, or otherwise, and shall be calculated in terms of percentage based on the total weight of the grain free from dockage. The percentage so calculated shall be stated in terms of whole per centum and half per centum. A fraction of a per centum when equal to, or greater than, a half, shall he treated as a half, and when less than a half shall be disregarded. After the loss in weight caused by the removal of the smut has been ascertained, the wheat shall be graded and designated according to the grade requirements of the standard applicable to such wheat if it were not smutty, and there shall be added to, and made a part of, the grade designation the percentage so determined and stated together with the words smut dockage. (b) Smutty wheat shall he graded and designed according to the grade requirements of the standard applicable to such wheat if it were not smutty, except that when the amount of smut present is so great that any one or more of the grade requirements of the grades from No.

1 to No- 5, inclusive, cannot accurately be applied, the wheat shall be classified as sample grade. For all grades there shall be added to and made a pert of the grade designation the word Smutty.

Another new industry has come to Wichita a factory that -(ill manufacture "leggings and boot trees.

The Teitzel, Jones Dehner Company, boot manufacturers, will open a new factory soon at 700 North Main street. The chief output of this plant will be leggings and boot trees. These products are sold chidfly to army officers. The machinery is all in place in the new factory and electricians are fitting up the building with electricity to operate the machines. A large stock of material is on hand and the best superintendent obtainable has been employed by the company.

Itis expected that everything will be in readiness to begin work Monday morning. Orders for leggings and boot trees have been coming in from all over the country for several' weeks. The company was compelled to turn down an order for 500 pairs of leggings this week because it was unable to finish the work by the time specified in the order. it load may seem extremely burdensome. Every banker who has the best interests of his community at heart, and most of them have, should use the same diligence in encouraging and helping throuh the man with a dairy herd as he does in assisting the wheat farmer.

Cane the Alternative. Our states history shows that when the first half of the year is deficient in rainfall as it has been this year, that the latter half is likely to go to the other extreme, and moisture be excessive. Should the expected break in the weather come soon, and crops already planted have perished or be so dwarfed and sfuntfd as to give little promise of recuper ating, dairymen should be prepared to plant, say up to the middle of August, the earliest variety of cane seed that can be secured. Ccw peas may also be sown late and make a splendid feed crop with favorable weather. Everywhere the silo should be utilized to make the most of the feed that is produced.

Fall pasture would appreciably relieve the feed situation. Rye makes a most excellent pasture for ail kinds of live stock and especially for milk cows. A small area, well prepared and sown to rye as e'rly as conditions justify may simplify the feeding problem of many. Rye is one of the best and perhaps the least appreciated of our pasture plants. A Shawnee county farmer last fall sowed four acres of rye and wintered on it 30 head of calves practically without other feed.

Where rye is not available, early sown wheat for pasture is a good substitute. The value of straw-, along with cottonseed cake, should not be overlooked in this emergency. On this combination, stock cattle as well as dairy cows, may be carried through the winter in good condition. Congress Protects Dairymen. It is hoped and believed our dairymen will go' to the extreme limit in, keeping their dairy herds intact in these trying times.

Those who are able to do so will then be ir, position to profit ythe better days that may be just ahead: Moreover, under the administration of the food law Congress will dairymen will certainly be protected, for all food author ities appreciate the importance of not merely maintaining, but actually increasing the supply of the best and I cheapest product in the' human dietary milk- But whatever governmental action may be taken, the dairy' herds that have required so much time, ptfort and expense to build up must not go to slaughter. The dairymen cannot afford it and the public cannot afford it. In the east many dairy cows have been sent to slaughter; it has bpeh carefully estimated that as high as fifteen to twenty per cent of the dairy cows have been slaughtered. Thl3 naturally increases the demand for Kansas dairy products, which should eventually work to the benefit of the Kansas dairymen who keep their herds intact. The public cannot afford the dispersal of Kansas dairy herds because in time there be real suffering for dairy 'food.

The public can better now pay higher prices for dairy products than later on to pay prices which to jnanv would he prohibitive, for the scarcity of such resulting 'from the disposal and slaughter of these animals would undoubtedly mean Boaring prices later on, Dairymen should flow 'be' allowed prices for their products which will enable them' td continue in 1 -t Milk Prices the Same.

C. Moliler, Secretary of Kansas State Board of Agriculture, shows clearly the feed situation and explains the much-needed care that should, be given at this time to one of our greatest commercial factors dairying: The feed situation which has been more or less acute in many localities in Kansas, owing to scarcity lift'd high prices of grain and forage, is looming as a serious problem in the major portion of the state as the prospects for the corn and sorghums to mature grain diminish. In some parts it is believed these crops will make little or no grain ven though conditions may be favorable henceforth.

N''v Producing Milk at a Loss. For several months many farmer have been unable to provide proper rations for their work horses, and now the feed situation threatens to seriously affect the state's live stock Industry as a whole. From some sections stock cattle are being shipped to the market, and many dairymen report that they have been producing milk at a loss because of the high prices of feed. Owing to the unfavorable crop outlook and the increased outlay for rations necessary to sustain the cows and maintain a paying flow pf milk, is apprehension that excellent, dairy herds may.be dispersed. Should dairy cattle he forced oaths' markets they will largely go to slaughter.

This will mean a. set back-that will require years to for iit takes time, as well as effort, to build up good, pr6aucifterdfl. Everyvpffort should be'. fortfc by. visual dairyman to his stock through to anotlrer season, even though the 5 1 if1 SI.00 per Year it.
