y POINT FOR WHEAT GROWERS
y gratifying effect of strewing straw
thinly over the wheat plants on a very
poor 5. OF of land after the ground had
frozen Las I cen reported by Mr.. Terry,
of Ohio. The wheat was benefited,
but the remarkable advantage lay i'll
The good catch and good growth of
clover sown in the spring, which ex-
tended exactly to the limit of the straw
mulch-one load TO the acre. So says
a writer in the W,ekiy Tribune, who
adds that he once owned two fields i'll
which there were spots of the finest and
cleanest of loan, on which cover seed
ALWAYS failed because Of the surface
running together into a compact glaze
after the spring frostS, and he could
think of no remedy. Tile straw seems
10 have prevented the rains from SO
packing the surface in Mr.. Terry's
valuable experience, and clover, if it
can lie made to grow with Ger ainty,
will soon amend the texture of the soil.
Farmers who have poor spots in their
wheat field would do well to try the
straw cure, not only to benefit the
crop sown, but as a preparation for
clover.

1T WAS NOT WOODWARD.
The Confidence Man Arrested In Balti
more Is Another Kind of Operator.

Detective Grammar of Cincinnati stopped over
in Washington last night with E. W. Ladd,
whom he had arrested in Baltimore charged
with working confidence game, and who was
suspected of being the man Woodward for
whom the officers in this city have been look
ing 30 industriously for some time. At
police headquarters today, however, it
was learned that the man brought here last
night does not in the slightest particular
answer the description given to the police Of
Woodward Both are charged with being con-
6dence men, but
THEIR MANNER OF WORK IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT.
Woodward, 1t is said, issued notes to his
victims which were worthless, while Ladd's
scheme was to advertise in prominent papers
Offering to invest money for parties-he seemed
to prefer ladies-and after securing victim to
skip the town. This was the scheme he is
charged with working in Cincinnati on Mrs.
Downey and for which he was arrested in Bal
timore. where he was working the same game.
Detective Grammar left this morning for Gin
cinnati with his prisoner.
