1T ISN'T COLD SAYS DYCHE.
Mercury Doesn't Go Much Below
Zero at Sitka. Alaska.

Prof. T.. L. Dyche addressed the
State Horticultural society last night
on Birds in Horticulture. Most birds
he believes, are friendly to fruit grow
ers because they destroy injurious in
sects.
Prof Dyche has examined the craws
of thousands of birds and knows upOn
suhsist.
4 have found that the food of wrens
is made up largely of caterpillars
Blacl1birds feed on grUbworms, and
quail are fond of insects which are in
furious to horticulture.
IF you must kill something, shoot
the Jay I have examined the stom-
achs of thousands of jaybirds, but have
never found anything to convince me
that they should be spared.
Then If you must kill something
else, take the crow The English
sparrow is another nuisance which it
is question how to dispose of"
Speaking of his recent Alaska trip
Prof. Dyche said:
tSOme people had an idea that I was
freezing to death this summer This
is mistake In seven years the low
est temperature recorded in Sitka in
January has been degrees below zero
However. there is great difference in
temperature. i'm different localities. on
the northern coast it has fallen to 80
degrees below zero"
Prof Dyche said that in 60 degrees
north latitude there is no vegetation
in Green land, while at the same dis
lance north in Alaska is a perfect jun
gle.
This is accounted for by the ocean
currents. In Alaska raspberries,
cranberries and gooseberries are among
the products and there are also red
currants in abundance.
The people in Alaska are nearly all
fishermen or gold miners, and Prof.
Dyche does not advise Kansas fruit
growers to migrate there

DIR. Helen DensmOre is Going to Eng
land to Work for Mrs. May bricks
Release.
CHICAGO, March 24.-Dr Heller Dens-
more, president of the Women's Inter-
national May brick association, is at the
Auditorium enroute from California to
England.
Mrs. Densmore was seen last night and
asked what the intentions of the
association are regarding the May
brick case. It will be remembered
that the English home secre-
tary, after reviewing the celebrated
case, has declined to release Mrs. May
brick.
"The Maybrick case has come to have
an International aspect of no small inter
est" said DR. Densmore. "During our
civil war an English captain was charged
with conspiracy against our government,
was arrested, tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to a term in the penitentiary.
After peace was esta blished John Bright
asked our government that the man be
pardoned. There was no claim that the
man was innocent or that he
was suffering an unjust punish
ment As matter entirely of interna-
tional courtesy he was at cnce liberated.
Through the interchangeable efforts of
Gail Hamilton many of our government
officials have become convinced of Mrs.
NJ aybrick's entire innocence and that she
is the victim of the most gross injustice.
"The friends of Mrs. Maybrick who
see her consigned to living death, and
her loving and devoted mother, whom
Gail Hamilton has characterized as
the Ideal of Motherhood, the Mater
Dolorosa of our time'-reduced from
wealth to penury by this struggle, are
determined not to leave a stone unturned
until Mrs. May is indicated and
free"

Larned, FoOte and Chase Will

Larned Will Sail in May, the
Others in June.

NEW YORK, March 24.-W. A. Larned
A. E. Foote and probably Malcolm
Chase will represent America in the
English championshipslawn tennis tour
nament next July at Wimbledon. All
three have engaged passage, and Larned
will sail in May, the others following 10
June, after the college term closes.
There is still some doubt about Chase's
plans, but the other two will surely go
and America will be represented on the
English tennis courts for the first time
since CampbelPs trip in 1890 by really
first class player.
Larned expects to play in most of the
important events over there up TO the
championship, after which all three will
start on bicycles to view the country.
This will prevent their taking part in
the most important American champion
ship and five or six challenge cups will
find new holders this season if present
plans are carried out Larned needs

lenge cup the Longwood cricket

which he won last summer, while Chase
will have to give up the national cham
pionship in doubles which he won last
season with ex- champion Wrenn and the
Tuxedo park challenge cup for which
he needs only one more win to make it
his property.

HILL, THE COTTON KING,
The Great Southern Planter Gives His
Views DIxIe,a Ind ustry.


The Great Southern Planter Gives His
Views DixIe's industry.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Jerome Hill
of St. Louis, one of the best known cot
ton dealers in the south, is in the city.
He is the owner Of several plantations
and has made cotton life a study. Asked
for an estimate of the probable extent of
the next American crop, Mr.. Hill
said: You might as well ask me
how high the water mark of the Mis-
sissippi river will be this spring. My
guess, however, is that there will be an
increase of about 10 per cent in the
planting, and that under average condi-
tions there should be about 100000
bales in the United States. Some talk
about 100000 bales, but there never has
been more than 100000 bales taken
from the fields.
New York instead of Liverpool ought
to be the cotton market of the world.
With the revolution in the methods of
handling cotton which the round bale
would bring, there would be a change of
rules in the cotton exchanges of New
York and New Orleans, and the vast
quantity of low grade cotton which now
operates to depress prices to producers,
would be largely eliminated"
