Depths of Sowing Grass Seed.

The numerous failures in obtaining
GOOD stands Of the cultivated grasses in
duced trials on the grounds of the Iowa
experiment station at Ames TO ascertain
what influence depth Of sowing had on
securing good crops. Operations, owing
to the rainy spring, did not begin until
April 9, 1892, when red clover, timothy,
Bromus ineT7nus and tall meadow cat
grass were sowed, and the seed was COW
cred at various depths.
The soil in which this experiment was
made is sandy loan. AS has been in
timated, the spring was wet one. The
months of September, October and No
vember were, however, very dry, and
the only severe drought of the season
occurred during these months. Briefly
stated, the results of this experiment, as
reported in recent bulletin, indicated
that for such a season as a 1882 clover
covered two andthree inches stands fall
drought better than that covered less,
while lighter coverings gave better yields
at first cutting. Timothy covered one
inch deep gave most hay at first cutting,
but that sowed two inches deep stood
drought best. Tall meadow oat grass
covered two inches deep gave the most
hay at first cutting and showed the best
sfall conditions. The Bromus inermus
covered one inch deep gave most hay 1T
first cutting, and that covered two inches
deep showed the best fall condition.

First Illustrator of America.

In the British museum there IS pre-
served John Whites original drawings
in water colors illustrating Sir Walter
Raleigh's voyage into Virginia in 1855.
This John White was an English painter
who was sent by Queen Elizabeth In
1885 to Virginia as principal craftsman
in Raleigh's second expedition for ex-
ploring the country and planting his
first "colonie" The expedition of seven
ships was under the command of Adj
niral Sir Richard Granville, the ances-
tor of the founder of the Grenville libra
ry in the British museum.
This first '.colonie,' consisting, of 109
men, remained in Virginia one whole
year and then returned to England in
July, 1888, in Sir Francis brakes fleet,
then coming victorious from the West
Indies, because the long expected sup
plies and reinforcements from Eng
land had not arrived Fourteen days
after their departure Sir Richard Gren-
Vile arrived with new stores and new
planters, to find the old 9colonie" de-
serted. Little Is known respecting John
White. tt is recorded, however, that he
made four voyages to Virginia and that
during the second expedition he was ap-
pointed governor, in 1887. He was the
grandfather of Virginia Dare, the first
English child born in North America.
In 1888 Theodore de Bry on a visit to
London was induced to engrave the said
drawings and his work was issued in
1890 in folio at Frankfort.
