one OF the first that he made in that body.

The college experts did not use their

new men, one OF whom, Feary, showed

! in the first inning that the New Yorks had
little or no difficulty in scoring enough
runs to rob the game of all further in

After the first innings the New Yorks
did very little. batting, although they were
not guilty Of playing off the ground

BEET SEED AND DINGLEYIsM.

Not all of that So 600 can be invested in
beet seed, but more of it can be now
than later. 1t is lucky for the state. as
long as it is making this foolish eN-
penditure, that it is the German act
and not the Dingley bill that cuts out
a slice from the appropriation to pay
the admission fee at the customs. When
the Mckinley rate was in force 20 per
cent, or 81 coo of the $1,000 would have
had to be set aside to pay the tariff
but now half that sum viii suffice. Were
the Dingley bill present law, $1,000
would have to be deducted from the
appropriation to pay the import tax of
40 per cent it leves on all seeds not
specifically enumerated and rated
among which is sugar beet seed.
Another phase presents itself for
consideration. Suppose that this pur-
chase of seed is all sent out and plant
ed and tested, and the fact again dem
onstrated that beets of sufficient sugar
strength and purity can be grown here,
furnish beets, and capital erects re-
fineries next year, where will another
supply of seed come from? All this will
go into beets. To get seed from these
beets they must be planted next spring
and allowed to go to seed. But it is
seed that will be wanted IN the spring
and NOT potential seed and to wait for
the beets to produce it involves loss
of another year The appropriation is
exhausted and no legislature in session
to make another, and degeneracy has
gone too far to permit any farm az MAX
ing independent effort to supply him
self with seed. 1t really looks as it, in
the contingency supposed, Gov. Clough
will have to call a special session CT
the legislature next winter to make an
appropria ton to buy beet seed
