Experiments witli Wheat.

The yield of wheat on the Oklahoma
Experiment Station farm at Still
water was much reduced by rust and
some by cinch bugs. The wheat plats
were on upland prairie soil, without
special manuring. In the variety
test eighty-six plats with fifty six
claimed distinct varieties gave an
average yield of 1876 bushels per acre
compared with 1916 bushels in 1897.
The largest yields were: Early Red
Clawson, 35.2; Big English, 34.5;
Fultz, 1874; Fulcastor, 32.1; Red Rus
sian, 80 bushels. OF these the three
last named were among the best in
yield in 1897 and arc counted as de-
sirable as any tested. Thirty-four
varieties gave yield of between
twenty and thirty bushels per acre,
while twenty gave not more than
fifteen bushels per acre each. In no
case did the wheat reach standard
weight, many plats testing fifty-five
to fifty-six pounds per busLel. The
wheat was sown September 1922, and
matured from June Sill. The soil
was dry at the time OF seeding and
for weeks thereafter. The wheat did
not get good start in the fall. 1t
was somewhat injured by the frost
March 1928. There were marked
differences in the yield of straw-vary
ing from less than ], 400 to more than
5000 pounds per acre. Plats were
sown at intervals from September 10
to November Is. The soil was so dry
that the earlier sowings came up
slowly. In general the best yields
we're from plats sown September %,
or October 5, no plat sown in Novem-
Der giving an average yield. In con-
nection with the time tests there was
u test of thickness of sowing plats
being sown at intervalc at the rate OF
three, four, five, six and eipht pecks
per acre, four plats at each rate. The
average yield increased from thinnest
to thickest seeding, with almost no
difference whether five or six pecks
were sown. In favorable seasons, thin
often gives as large yields as thick
seeding; in unfavorable. seasons thick
seeding is safer.

IT Is reported that when the Porto
Ricans heard that their island would
go to the United States many of them
began the study of the language of
their deliverers. An English general
who entered San Juan two days after
the peace protocol was signed and who
knew no Spanish, could find no in
terpreter, in fact could find no one
who professed a knowledge except her
majesty's counsel. Oh, well, it will
be only matter of few years under
Uncle Sans rule when Bowery slang
will probably compel cockney gen.
eral to seek an interpreter in the

The Heaviest rIetai known.

A new filament for incandescent
lamps has been discovered in osmium,
the densest and most refractory Of all
metals, being infusible except on the
highest attainable temperature. 0s-
MUM is found native as an alloy in
certain ores OF platinum and iridium.
1t is hard, bluish-gray metal, with
an atomic weight of 1911 and the
enormous specific gravity of 22.477,
the heaviest substance known. It's
tetroxide has strong odor OF chlor-
inc. The properties that suggested
its use are its practical infusibility
and its known resistance to tcmpera-
lures in which platinum and iridium
volatilizc and disappear. 1t is we'll
known that the intensity OF light
omitted by an incandescent substance
increases rapidly with its absolute
temperature. BY heating osmium in
a vrcuum with an electrical current
strong enough to volatilize platinum,
it is said to attain a luminosity hith-
erto almost unknown, emitting n
white light of agreeable quality and
color, but of great intensity. Coat
ing with a refractory oxide like thoria
is rcsortcd to to secure more per-
feet mekium.

No PARTY can honorably claim the
credit for the raise in the price of
wheat, nor can any party shift the
responsibility of fall in the price of
that commodity on the shoulders of
an opposition party. The fact is that
the price of wheat is governed by
two things, and two things alone
first, by the supply and demand, and,
second, by the greed and unscrupu-
lous dealings of the magnates in con-
troll OF the stock markets of Wall and
-Lombardy streets.

OUR NEW WARDS.

1t is an understood fact by all
classes that the people of this CONT
,nent have entered into a new era,
through the outcome of the Espano-
American war and the final triumph
of the American arms. 1t sometimes
requires a century for a highly en-
lightened race to guage an historic
event in its true perspective, and real
ize its proper value in its relation to
human progress. No such delay and
doubt, however, will be experienced
in ascribihg to the heroic events at
Santiago and Manila their just pro-
portion. Already in both hemis-
pheres these two battles of 1898 are
recognized as epoch-making in their
consequences. 1t is though, by a
volcanic upheaval, the ocean had
changed its bed, and what was yester-
day sea is now dry land, and what
then desert is now watery plain;
the equilibrium of the universe has
shifted from the old to the new world.
as it were, which means that the
superiority of nations has unexpect-
eddy been changed from the eastern
to the western hemisphere, by the
United States striking the shackles of
oppression from nearly ten million
human beings who were being coerced
by semi-barbaric nation of conti-
mental Europe, a people to whom we
were not bound by ties OF race or gov
eminent. But the real quality of our
service to these dark children of the
seas is yet to be tested in nurturing
them in the principals OF true en-
lightenment. If we are true to the
motives which impelled us to eman-
cipate these people, we cannot con-
slider the fruits of our victories from
purely commercial standpoint, but
if the people Of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines are to reach the level
OF our civilization, we must use the
same measure which we employed for
our own advancement. This means
our of governmental and common
school systems. If these be put with
in reach of these island races there
will DO little need Of a standing army
such as Spain required to keep them
in subsection, and then there will be
little.need of worry about the COM
mercfal advantages which will accrue
to us, for when the newly-found wards
learn that it is through our humane
Intervention that they are freed politi-
calIy from the yoke of Spain, and in.

The report comes from Bar Harbor, Me,
that the wedding of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sar-
toris and General Henry Kyd Douglass viii
occur there next fall. This reported en-
| gagement of the daughter of General Grant
to General Douglass is one Of the romantic
incidents of the present day. General Doug
lass is one of the old-time soldiers and gal
lants and was a prominent figure in Bar
Harbor life in the SOS. He is of a very
striking personality, of a decidedly military
bearing and is a millionaire. General Doug
lass fought against the north in the civil
war. He has just been appointed assistant
adjutant general, and is now in the south
and expects to go to Cuba. He is the last
surviving member of Stonewall Jackson's
staff and is one of the noted military men of
the last war. Before Nellie Grant married
Algsrnon Sartoris General Douglass was her
admirer, and the gallant confederate soldier
when he was at Sorrento for a few weeks
and visited the Grants. The general will
come here later in the season, and it is said
that before late in the fall the daughter of
General Grant will preside over the future
destinies of the Douglass estate at Hagers-
town, Nd.
