seed. This plan Is attended with some
trouble. to be sure. But We feel conf
dent that those who follow il for two or
three years will be well repaid for their
pains by an increased yield ofa better
quality OF corn.
We have seen thoughtless and quite
impracticable method advocated OF go-
ing over an entire field in this way and
emasculating the less productive stalks.
Why do this when a small plot, with COM
paratiyely little labor and expense. may
produce all the seed corn needed for
another year, and that too which has had
every advantage in the way of improve
ment that could have been given in large
fields with forty times greater amount
of tedious labor? The sets in many cases,
are by no mears easily discovered at

Length Ofthe Mississippi.

Mark Twain mourns over the diminish
ed length of the Mississippi in this strain:
Therefore, the Mississippi, between Cairo
and New Orleans, was 1915 miles long
III years ago. 1t was 1,1S0 after the cut
off of 1922. 1t was 1, ,040 after the Ameri-
can bend cutoff some years ago. 1t has
lost 67 miles since. Consequently, it's
length is only 973 miles at present. Now,
if, wanted to be one of these ponderous
scientific people, and to prove what had
occurred in the long past by what had oc-
Cured in given time in the recent past
or what will occurr in the far future
by what has occurred in late years what
an opportunity is here? Geology never
had such, nor such exact data to argue
from! Nor development of species either.
Glacial epoches are great things. but they
are vague-vague. Please observe. In
the space Of 1870 years the lower Missis-
sippi has shortened itself 242 miles. That
is an average of trifie over one mile and
a third per year. Therefore, any calm
person who is not blind or idiotic, can
see in the old Oolitic Silurian period, just
100000 years ago next November, the
lower Mississippi River was upward of
1 300 900 miles long, and stuck out over
the Gulf of Mexico like fishing rod.
And, by the same token, any person can
see that 742 years from now the Mississip-
pi will be only mile and quarter long.
and Cairo and New Orleans will have
joined their streets together, and be plod-
ding comfortably along under single
Mayor and mutual Board of Alderman.
There is something fascinating about
science. One gets such wholesale returns
Of conjecture out of such trifing invest
ment of fact.

DEATH OF GEN, JOE LANE,
A Distinguished Politician Of the old
Times Gone to His Rest,

PORTLAND. OREGON, April 20.-Geueral
Joseph Lane died at his home at Rose
burg Tuesday night, aged 10.
Biographicdl-Gen. Joseph Lane was
born in Buncombe county, North Caro-
lima, in 1901, went to Indiana, and was
elected to the Legislature in 1922, serving
at intervals until 1916. He participated
in the war with Mexico, and was appoint
ed BrIgadier General by President
Polk. In 1S49 he was appointed Cover
nor of the Territory of Oregon and or
ganized the Government. He was elect
ed Delegate in 1851, where he was re-
tanned until the admission of Oregon as a
State, when he took his seat as United
States Senator in 1859, serving until 1861.
In 1860 he was nominated for Vice Presi
dent on the ticket with John G. Brecken-
ridge. In 1850 there were four Presiden-
tial tickets in the field-Lincoln and
Hamlin, Douglas and johnson, Bell and
Everett and Breckenridge and Lane.

Improved Seed Corn.

As the time for planting corn draws
near for the Middle and Northern States,
we again urge it upon our readers to
plant small plot as far away from other
corn as practicable. Let this plot be pre,
pared as if it were garden and let it be
30 feet square, or one-fortieth of an acre,
which will be large enough to furnish
seed sufficient to plant from six to eight
acres next year. Let the rows be fully
fourfeet apart, and drop a single kernel
every six inches SO as to insure full
stand. Then at the::frst cultivation cut
out the plants so as to leave them from
one foot to IS inches apart in the row.
As soon as the sets appear, and just be-
fore the pollen of the tassel is ready to fall,
cut off the tassel from every stalk that
does not show two or more sets accord
ing to the habit of the varity. II, for
instance, it were Black Sugar Corn, we
saould leave the tassels upon only such
stalks as had developed three sets or more;
ii Blount's, six to eight and so on. AS,
however, sets very often, instead of from
ing ears, change to lateral stalks or re.
main undeveloped, it is safest to mark
the most. prolific stalks before harvest

A New York correspondent writing of
the elder Benefits face says: "No one
could look upon it without being chilled
by its sinister and selfish expression. -
The correspondent was at the opera forty
years ago, and, happening to turn, saw a
face which fascinated him with its gor-
gon freez. 1t made me shudder and vet
I couldn't help looking at it. 1t was
more attractive than the music. He dis
covered afterward that it was Bennett.
He never wanted to see the face again;
but twenty years afterwards he did see it,
and it was still soulless. When he be-
came senile and idiotic, it changed for
the comic. and "the former terror of the
press became funny old imbecile, who
was drawn around in donkey cart and
slipped lager beer from his walters hand
with a ridiculous leer instead of the
former intense malignity."

The Republican of Springfield, Mass,
is talking right out in meetin." 1t says:
DAY by day, the administration sinks in
public esteem. The more it's acts are
turned over, the less they are liked. The
nomination of Stanley Matthews, the
selection of w. E. Chandler, the removal
of Merritt-there is no defense for these
things. They carry their own condem-
nation and sink by their own weight.
They are not like Grants worst acts-fra-
grant outrages on public decency; but
the tide has raised since Grant went out
and it will rise while Garfield is in,
wether he helps or hinders. His admin
istration will probably win in its fight
with Conkling, however it may fail in
placing Stanley Matthews on Mac Veagh,
but there is dauger that some of these
results will be won at hopeless loss of
moral position"

WASHINGTON, April %. - Major
Frank De Gress, Of Mexico, arrived in
the city to-day. He left Mexico about
nine days ago. He says that the story
about General Grants coming TO con-
quer the country was talked Of before
he arrived, but that it made no i'm
preston at all upon the people, as they
knew it was a csnard started by for
eigners who are interested In creating
prejudice against Americans He saws
that the Mexicans we're just as glad to
see Grant, as the first time he came.
They gave no public reception, for two
reasons. First, they could not afford
to be giving big receptions so often !;
and second, General Grant insisted that
he was coming simply on business as
private citizen, and declined to allow
any parade or expenditure of money
on his account. There is not the
slightest feeling of hostility toward the
United States. Major De Gress says.
neither among the common people nor
leading citizens. President Diaz con-
tinues to be the most popular man in
Mexico, and he is deeply interested in
the promotion Of commercial relations
with this country. The fact that the
troops had been reinforced along the
frontier was because they thought that
possibly, when railroad building began,
lawless characters would come into the
country, and that the presence of the
military would have a restraining in
auence. 1t was not because the Mexi-
can Government anticipated any trou-
ble with the United States, or were
hostile to American enterprises. Major
De Gress declares that the prejudice
against Americans has broken down
within the last two years as if by mag
ic. His statements may be relied on.
He is q gentleman well known as an
officer Of artillery in Logan's division
in the late war, and he has been in
business in Mexico selling arms and
machinery for the past fifteen years.

Paper and Paper Pulp from Salt
Hay.

1t has probably not been generally
known among paper-makers, remarks
the Paper World, that the grass ordi-
narily growing upon the low. marshy
lands bordering upon salt water, and
frequently overfowed by it, furnishes a
most excellent material for paper. This
grass grows in great plenty, and can be
had for a comparatively low price, and
contains nearly as much useful fiber to a
ton as straw. 1t is very easily digested,
and can be reduced in very short time,
two hours being quite sufficient. The
brown pulp as discharged from the d.
gester makes very superior quality of

The yield of useful pulp from ton of
hay is about 900 pounds, and the cost for
