GROW TWO BLADES TO LOWER PRICES
Make Two Tons of Alfalfa Bloom for One and Bring Cost of Living Down, Says Prof. Blackmar.
To make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, and two steers to walk where only one walked before, and two tons of alfalfa bloom where only one bloomed before, is the only way to reduce the cost of living in the opinion of P. W. Blackman, professor of sociology of the University of Kansas.
Scientific agriculture alone can bring prices down, declares Professor Blackmar, and to accomplish this end, he asserts that more people must return to the farm.
"It is evident that there is a scarcity of food products dependent upon the increased demand caused by increased population and improved standard of living," says Professor Blackmar. "In other words there are many people between the producers of raw material and the consumers of finished product and the people between these limits in order to keep up their high standard of living demand a high margin of profit in manufacturing, trading and transportation.
"Back to the Farm," He Says.
"The if population could be redistributed and more persons induced to engage in the production of raw material it would help to equalize the strain put upon agricultural products. If in addition to this, scientific agrification it increased it would have a tendency to keep prices within the range of reason, but it cannot be expected that agricultural prices will ever be low again in the world except temporarily.
"But if we can make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, and two steers to walk where only one walked before, and two tons of alfalfa bloom where only one bloomed before, and forty bushels of wheat to grow where only twenty bushels of wheat are grown from our methods of distribution of finished products, the consumer might have a better chance to survive.
Fat Kine Scarce as Rembrandts
"Certain it is that porchouse steak will be high so long as good fat steers are as scarce as the paintings of the old masters, and vegetables and fruit products will be high so long as we pay for the luxury of passing through cool storage in order to have them fresh (?) every day of the year.
"A timely congress of farmers and other persons interested in agriculture is to be held at Hutchinson, Kansas, November 19th and 20th. This is the beginning of a systematic consideration of means to increase the yield of land per acre, the consideration of lessening the expense of production, transportation and communication. This excess has been brought about by the striking facts of the continued rise of prices, of the diminishing yield of land per acre under old methods and the possibility of increase of yield of land per acre under scientific methods of agriculture."
"Short Ballet," mused the professor. "Of course, he doesn't want to know about—let's see, what do they call them—broilers or the pony chorus. Besides, although we have facts about folk dancing and other topics of interest to the women of the state that we are glad to send, I hardly think we know much about comic opera actresses."

ABOUT THE "SHORT BALLET"
When Prof. Richard R. Price, director of the University extension work opened a strange looking letter last week, he found a request for complete information on the "subject of the short ballet."
And He May Be Disappointed When He Finds That His Information Isn't About Broilers.
A large force of assistants is maintained in the office of the extension bureau to answer just such inquiries. One Kansas club woman wanted in training back in "learning" and she will receive complete information on the art.
So the anxious Kansan will have to be content with a bundle of pamphlets on the short ballot that were shipped to him at once.

KANSAS GROWS BOYS BIGGER NOWADAYS
statistics Show That New Generation Can Pitch More Hay Than Their Fathers Used To.
Kansas boys who entered K. U. this year can pitch more hay and shock more corn than their fathers could. Dr. James Naismith, head of the department of physical education, after examining each freshman, declares that they are bigger and stronger than any first year class before them.
"This year's freshman is the best physically that ever entered the University," is Dr. Naismith's diagnosis. "While the average height of the men of former first year classes is but 5 feet, 8 inches, the 1912 boy troops this mark by exactly one inch. Never before have I seen such a remarkable highlight." The class of 1903 held the lead up to this time in tall men.
"With the growth in inches has come a corresponding advance in muscular power. The average width of the shoulder now is 15.9 inches and 10.7 through the chest. This gives idea of the strength of the freshmen.
"The members of the class have
