caL. NEAL DEFENDS HIAsELF.

During the recent Senatorial con
test it will be remembered Candidate
Evans made the charge that he placed
Colonel W. 4. Neal, superintendent
OF the State penitentiary, in the hee-
lev Institute to be treated for the
wbiskev habit and that he had tele'
graphea for Colonel Cunningham, ol
Chester, to take charge. Colonel
Neal waited uutil all of the polltlca
excitement passed over and 10 hls
usual basinoss-like manner proceed
el to prove the ex-governor a t"lst'
er Of fac;s. and alter submitting his
nroo: he denoances John Gary Evans
slanderous liar.
\ srSa. many allowances should he
made foy what is said during heated
campaign, but wheu q man mallclousiy
sesks 70 destroy another by wanton
falsenool It is unexcusable. Cover
nor Evans said also that Colonel Neal
should be vea,iug stripes, and he
never did say what for; but wher
John T. Duncan said that John Gary
Evans should wear stripes lie said II
was FOR pilEerins the peoples money.
We did not take any stock in Dun
cans charges, we believed them false
and time has convinced US they were
without foundation, aas we have no
idea now, that Governor Evans can
establish one scintilla OF proof to
back up his assertion which reflects
upon Col. Meals integrity.
Colonel ". A. Neal did what many
others would not have the moral
courage to do, aad that was wher
slandered, to wait for the people tc
cool down before he made any at
tempt to exonerate himself. He did
not deny going to heeley, but like a
manly man he came out and told tue
whole story Of his affection and back
ed it up by his attending physicians
and other honorable gentlemen
Now since the matter has been drag
ged before the public it has con-
vineed US, We. were mistaken IN
our estimate of John Gary Evans,
and that instead OF his being the
high, broad-miuded man who has
been badly treated, we have been
converted to the belief that he is mar,
row, selfish, spiteful and to accom-
plish his own advancement would

A Good System of Rotation Is the Best
Restorer of Worn-Out Soil
The following conclusions by one of
our experiment stations apply every
where: The continued cropping of
soils to grain crops only without any
system of rotation, or other treatment,
is telling severely upon the original
stock of half decomposed animal and
vegetable matters, and nitrogen. Soils
which have produced grain crops, ex-
clusively, for ten or fifteen years. con-
tain from a third to half less humus
and nitrogen than adjoining soils that
have never been plowed. Soils which
have been cropped until the organic
matters and humus have been mate
rally decreased, retain less water and
dry out more easily than when there
is larger amount of organic matter
present in the SOIL Soils which axe rich
in huInus contain a larger amount of
phosphatcs associated with them in
availab BILE forms than the soils that are
poor in humus. Soils which are rich
in humus and organic matters produce
larger amount of carbon dioxde that

IMPROVING GRASSES.
Why Our Farmers Should Bring Native
Species Into Cultivation.

Why Our Farmers Should Bring Natfve
Species Into Cultivation.
One of the best lines of work in con
nection with the development of i'm
proved forage conditions is that of
bringing our rative forms into culti-
sation. More than 20 per cent. of all
the grass species of the world are ma
tives of the United States, the number
ranging upward of 700, and | think j
am not wrong in saying that there
IS no other continent on which there is
a greater number of native forage
plants other than the grasses. Nearly
all of our cultivated forage plants are
o: foreign origin, and If it were not
simply a matter Of public interest, it
ought to be one of public sentiment,
to preserve the coming generations of
American farmers those native species
which have added SO much to the
wealth of the land in the past. The
species of the grazing regions in the
west and southwest. and, for that mat
ter, in every part Of this country where
sheep or cattle are raised, are best
adapted for the conditions under which
each grows, and il is folly to think that
better forms may be introduced from!
Europe or Asia or Australia, where
climate and soil and abundance Of rain
fall are different. The meadow grass
OF the parks, woodlands and mountain
slopes, the grama and buffalo grasses
OF the southwest. and the blue stems
Of the eastern prairie belt. cannot b.
improved upon.
We must go out into the fields and
meadows and select, care for and prop
agate the thrifty grasses ard native
elovers, just as the horticulturist Sc
lects and propagates his finest yarie-
ties of fruits, OF the florist his most
perfect and most highly developed
flowers. Every cultivated grass. every
cereal, every fruit or flower. has been
developed up from just such small be
einnings. and when we take into con
sideration the Importance of the graz
ing industries, the great amount OF
money invested in them. and the vast
yearly income from these sources. we
must adopt the conclusion that such
line of work is an exceedingly impor-
tant one.--United States Department
