Much Like n Man,

The Kulu Kamba is more like hui
man being, according to Professor
Garner, than any other animal. The
principal difference between the phys.
ical organization of human being
and gorilla, according to the same
authority, is that the spine of the
gorilla is not so regularly jointed as
that of man, some of the joints hav-
ing seemingly gone into partnership.
The difference, or to put il more finely
the distinction, between the chimpan-
zee and the Kulu Kamba is still mat
ter of conjecture, Professor Garner
says, as he does not possess skeleton
of the Kulu Kamba. Skeletons Of
gorillas and chimpanzees are the same
TO him as varied collection of pipes
are to some men, and he expects to be
just rs well supplied with the inani-
mate remains of Kulu Kambas some
day. Having been in Africa on scien-
tific exploration bent, he naturally IN
tends to go again. The African fever
seldom leaves a man upon whom 1t has
once taken a grip. Pail Mall Budget.

Ihr Baltimore Suns tribute TO the

'Iess complaint has been heard from

NOTES on WHEAT.

From field experiments carried on
at the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Purdue University, Indiana, re-
ported in Bulletin Is, extending over
ten years, it appears that none of the
varieties of wheat tried have any ten
dency to deteriorate or run out, pro-
vided proper care is exercised. No
wheat proved to be ''rust-proof," but
early wheats We're generally less in
iured by rust than later kinds. Eight
pecks of seed per acre gave the best
returns at the station, the average
yield for nine years being 30. 30 bushels
per acre The best results came from
sowings made not later than Septem-
Der 20. The value of crop rotation in
maintaining yields of grain has been
strongly emphasized, for compari-
son of rotating crops with constant
grain cropping for seven years showed
an average gain of 81 bushels per
acre in favor of the former. Another
important result obtained was that
wheat may be harvested ut any time
from the dough stage to the dead d-ripe
condition, without appreciably affect
ing the weight or yield of the grain.
comparison of the forms of nitrogen
MS fertilizers for wheat indicated that
sulphate of ammonia is better than
nitrate of soda or dried blood.
