The Illinois experiment station, in
trials for three years, gives some indi-
cations, or conclusions, as follows:
l. Variation in quantity of seed be-
tween one and two bushels per acre
have less effect on yield than other
conditions.
2. In two trials no injury resulted
from rolling drilled wheat soon after
sowing.
3. The yields of five plats, sown a
intervals of ten or twelve days from
September ID to October 18th, were
good. The average length of heads
and weight of kernels increased from
the first to the last.
4. In view of danger from Hessian
fly, and of undue growth of straw,
very early sowing is not advisable. =
5 Covering one inch deep gave bet
ter results than covering three, and

6. Trials with various commercial
fertilizers OH wheat indicate that ON
the soil of the station grounds such
use is Improbable. Barn-yard ma
nure invariably produces noticeable
effect. AT Bellvile neither barn-yard
manure nor superphosphate of lime
produced any considerable results.
7. In experiments with wheat and
chess, where wheat only was sown,
no chess was found. Where both
were sown both grew. Where chess
alone was sown it produced a large
CROP and although carefully harvest
ed, it seeded the ground thickly for
the next year. Spring grown chess
grew vigorously but produced no
seed.

Dun's weekly review of trade con-
tains little that is not indicative OF
of improvement in all branches OF
commerce. In the South, particularly,
the outlook is full of encouragement.
Injury to the cotton crop promises
advanced prices, and rapid move
ment has already begun. The wheat
crop is the greatest ever grown in the
United States. The corn crop has
been saved and is very large in the
surplus producing States. The none
tary situation is decidedly clearer and
more favorable than for some time
past. Reports from many cities show
increased confidence and some gains

The Con. Con. reassembled at IL
O'Clock Wednesday. President Clay
called the meeting to order and in the
course of his remarks took occasion to
express his regret that the new Con-
stitution left the appointment Of the
Railroad Commissioners in the hands
of the Governor instead of making the
office an elective one. His idea being
that it would expose the office Of chief
execution to the interference of the
railroads and that he feared it would
leave the nomination of a candidate
for Governor by the dominant party
more OF less in the hands of these cor
porations. Because of all expression
of honest fear ON his part that this
proyision may be 80 taken advantage
of by the railroads as to prove vir-
tual notification of the many whole
some restraints placed upon the grow
ing power of these corporations by
the new Constitution, he has been

Brown with being railroad sympa'
thizer. The Convention will prob
ably soon complete its work and &c

The exact figures OF the cotton crop
of 1890 have at last been given to the
public. 1t is the largest ever grown,
the American product amounting to
1852, 297 bales, against 7,3ll,322 bales
the year previous, which was regarded
as very prolific yield. There has
been propagated in South Carolina a
cotton plant that yields seed alone,
and it is said to be a more profitable
crop than lint and seed combined at
the present prices of lint. 1t requires
much less labor to harvest; the yield
of seed is third greater, and there is
far higher per cent. of oil in the
seed. Should this new industry real
NE the hopes of its promoters, it will
be many a dollar in the pockets OF
Southern planters. Less lint will be
produced, but it will command a
higher price, while cotton seed Is as
staple in the market as stylish four
foot mule charlottesville Times.

A few minutes later they reached a

ashes of a fire and several broken Indian
arrows.
Darrell looked back from it's shadows
toward the quickSands.
He could observe the outlaws without

THE TREASURY SUITS.
Alter Five Days of Testimony the Law
NeTS Hpyir

Alter Five Days of Testimony the Law
yers Begin.
At the close of the afternoon session
of court on the DIST the testimony in
the now famous state treasury suits at
Madison was practically all in, moth
ing being left but some unim-
pOrtant records that We're want
ing. Five days were spent In the read
ing by the states attorneys Of the depo-
sluons previously taken, most OF which
was extremely dry and uninteresting
The trial was before Judge Newman. Of
the sixth Circuit, who had been called
on to preside over the Dane County cir
cult court by Judge Siebecker, the lat
ter announcing his inability to try the
cases by reason of alleged attempts on
the part of friends of the defense to
Influence the court. The cases against
eXTreasurers McFetridge and Harshaw
were the only ones taken up, under
an implied agreement that a test should
be made on these two, and the suits by
the state against the other eNtreasurers
he held in allegiance, pending decis-
ion.
The suits were brought to recover
money alleged to have been illegally re-
ceIved by state treasurers and applied
to their own personal uses, said money
having been PAD by certain banks as
interest on public funds loaned the
banks. The defense III both cases ad
mitted the facts, but denied the iiiegali-
" of the custom. At the close of the
five days testimony nothing new had
been brought out, and the cases rested
at the close of court Just where they did
at the beginning, the facts admitted
having been proven, and the question
of law remaining to be decided. 1t was
shown to have been long established
custom for state treasurcrs to deposit
state funds in banks, as a matter
OF convenience in making disburse
ments, and as matter of safety, the
claim being made that the vaults of the
state treasury were and are neither
burglar nor tire-proof. The claim OF
the defense is that while no law author
izing the receipt of interest on public
funds deposited in banks, no prohibit
ton appears on the statute books, and
that so long as the moneys received by
them IN the regular course of business,
and belonging to the state, are properly
accounted for, the matter of interest in
volved in these suits is purely person
al one, with which the state has nothing
to do
