Grand Master Sargent president of

Whether this move means that the
council must go through certain form

declared or whether no strike will be
delared at all remains to be seen.

Crop Condition. I'm Nebr..k..

LINCOLN, Neb., August 19.-The
State journal devotes several columns
to the crop outlook in Nebraska. Re-
ports from nearly county in the state
as a rule indicate more favorable
condition Of affairs than the estimate
made some weeks ago. While early
conditions were favorable, lack of rain
In the month Of July had the effect of
cutting short what would probably have
been the largest yield in the history of
the state. The section most unfavOra-
bly, affected is the tier of counties on
the extreme southern boundaries west
from Webster to the Colorado line.
Here the drought was most severe, ex-
tending from the middle of June almost
up to the present date and 1t is doubt
full If the yield is sufficient for home
consumption. An Offset occurs, how
ever, in the northwest and north GEN.
trail section, where the average is fully
up to and in many cases exceed
ing the yield of 1889. Added to
this is a largely increased acre
age. In the eastern and CEN
trail portions the outlook can be stated
to be neither very good nor very bad,
probably go per cent of that of 1889.
The above refers more particularly to
corn. The acreage of wheat was
larger than usual. The yield, with
few exceptions, is nearly up to the
average and the quality is excellent.
This is also true of rye, fax and bar
ley, while oats are much the same as
corn. The culture of the sugar beet
which was tried this year, mainly as
an experiment, shows "a gratifying con-
dition, taken as a whole. Nebraska
will furnish fully half yield, proba-
bly, better, as regards cereals though
the latter must be taken as contingent
on late or early frosts. Vegetables
will be scarce and it is doubtful If
enough potatoes can be raised to sup
ply the consumption. 1t is doubtful if
much grain is shipped out, the general
expression of opinion being to ship
In stock from less favored communi-
ties and to dispose of the surplus in
that way.

The Diseased Meat Question.

CHICAGO, August 21.-In regard to
the rumors that the Illinois live stock
commission is responsible for the sale
OF diseased meat in Chicago, and that
powerful but occult influence was at
work to secure the removal of Commits
sioner of Health Weicheisham, that
gentleman said to-day: II never knew
DIR. McChesney, chairman of the Hi
nois live stock commission, until Icame
into Office. He called on me several
times and l became suspicious of his
actions. From the way things were
going on at the stockyards became
satisfied that the city was not protected
sufficiently from diseased meat, and
was convinced that it would be sold on
this market.
The first outbreak came when the
state board shipped 100 he'd of lumpy
jawed steers to this market, as the
board claimed, for slaughter and rend-
ering purposes only, to which l We
hemently objected. Our ordinances
are strong against the admission of
diseased meats and l am sworn to obev
the laws of the city. In letter TO
me DR.. McChesney says: During the
past year thousands of cattle affected
with that dread disease, lumpy-jaw,
have been driven from the stock yards
and their carcasses sold on the market
for human food. Neither you, | nor
the public will ever know how MANY
people have found ultimately graves
by eating the diseased meat
II have received request from
firm to give certificate that there
had been no cattle diseases at the
stock yards for some years. In view
OF McChesney's letter l declined to
issue such a certificate and shall con-
tinue to so refuse" 1t is now freely
charged that the chairman of the state
board has fraudulently profted by per-
uniting the sale of diseased meat, and
the matter will be fully Investigated at
the next session of the legislature.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel thinks that
it is little unreasonable to expect the
average man to keep track of all his
family relations. There are genealogi-
cal cranks who do this, who keep u
complete record of all blood and marri-
age ties, who have family trees with
branches running off into the remot-
est connections SO that they can tell In
a moment all about their brothers-in-
law both first and second hand and all
that But most men are too busy look
ing after their immediate personal a.
fairs to devote any time to this sort of
thing.

Agricultural Experiment Station
Press Pulletin No. A.


LINCOLN, Neb., August 20.-Indian
corn, the staple cereal of Nebraska,
Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois, is of dis
tinctively American origin and devel-
opment. 1t is supposed to have been
first found in cultivation by the North
men about the year 1905 AID, and by
them introduced into the Old World
between that date and 1885 AID.
There are early references to a grain,
supposed to be Indian corn or maize,
having been cultivated in Spain, Italy,
the South OF France, and along the
banks of the Volga previous to 1892,
and some writer's have ascribed to it an
oriental origin. However, it is certain
that maize was neither widely known
or generally until after the historical
discovery of America. The majority
of investigators are agreed upon its
Western birth place, Central America
The first recorded attempt at cultiva-
ton by European colonists was made
on the banks of the James river in
1907, when the men sent over by the
London Company took lessons from
the Indians.
Absolute evidence exists of its Guilt
walton in Peru in prehistoric times.
As early as the conquest of Mexico
and Peru it was noted that there were
several varieties of maize, showing
that it had already been domesticated
a number of years.
Among the North American Indians
the original method of planting was to
scrape the soil into small mounds, a
foot or more across at the top, plant
ing four or five kernels in the top of
each mound. A dead fish or a crab
from the sea was frequently placed in
each hill for a fertilizer. The earth
was kept mellow with clam shells or
bone hoes, and the fields were watched
and protected from the ravages of
birds. Sometimes the same mounds
were used year after year, until they
became large enough for three or four
groups of stalks three feet apart.
A method was in use among the
Navajo Indians of the arid southwest,
which bears some resemblance to '.list-
ing" as now practiced. The kernels.
sometimes wrapped in ball of mud,
We're dropped in holes twelve to eight
cen inches deep. When the plants
commenced to grow the dirt was filled
in around the stalks. 1t is said that
the Indians could in this way raise
good crops where the ordinary surface
planting was failure.
The varieties OF corn are very nu-
merous. There seems to be no end OF
new kinds produced by crossing and
hybridization. In color, it is of all
shades, mottled, striped. and variously
marked with white, pink, red, yellow,
blue and black. The ears vary in
length from one to fifteen inches, and
bear from eight to thirty-six rows of

less tiresome to the body and mind,

the capacity of his lungs, making him
round-shouldered, getting writer's
