Improving Pasture Lend..

Many farmers and ranchmen in the
northwest have been able to materially
increase the stock carrying capacity Of
their pasture lands by scattering over
the worn spots the seed of such grasses
as western wheat grass (Agropyron
spicatum). prairie June grass (koeleria
cristata). Kentucky blue grass and
smooth bronze. Sometimes these areas
are narrowed or ''disked" after seeding
and sometimes not. One practice is to
seed while the ground is wet and drive
stock over the land to work the seed
into the soil

lBy The Associated Press }

London, April 3.-(+:50 a. m.)-Ihe
latest news from the front adds little
10 the public knowledge of the convoy
disaster. No credence is given to re-
ports that the Beers numbered be-
tween eight and ten thousand men.
The general belief is that there could
not have been more than half that
number. but the mere fact that even
so many as half could have been col
lected so near headquarters without
the knowledge of the British com
manders provokes much uneasy criti-
cism.
The disaster is regarded as direct
result of the inability of General
French to cut off the commando OF
General Olivier and the other com
manders when escaping from the
Orange River.
Little news has arrived from other
points. Kenhardt was formally re-
occupied Saturday. The report that
the Beers are maSsing in the vicinity
of Taunga and Klipdam is confirmed.
Lord Methuens difficulties are APP
parently increasing. He has Boer
laaoers of guerilla bands on three
sides of him and he will be obliged to
watcn carefully his communications
with Orange River.

Some Damage to Georgia Fruit.
CBr the Associated Press

Atlanta Ga, April 2.-From informa-
tion gathered by State Entomologist Scott
and the Agricultural Department since
the heavy frost last Saturday night; it is
believed the fruit crop has been damaged
to some extent throughout the State, but
what proportion of the blossoms or young
fruit has been killed cannot be learned.
The complete effect of the frost can
not be learned until the warm sun has
had chance at the blossoms on the trees.
State Entomologist Scott said today
that 50 per cent. of the blossoms now on
the trees could be killed without ma
terially affecting the crop in the State.
A telegram from Southern Georgia states
that the crop there is uninjured.

HOW THE RAILROADS EvADE THE LAW.
President Fink Talks of the Pennsylvania
Purchase of the N. Il WIS Stock
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, April 2.-President Henry
Fink, of the Norfolk and Western today
confirmed the report that the Pennsyl-
vania had purchased a controlling amount
CT the company's common and preferred
stock, although the total is far from
enough to indicate a change in the con-
troll.
President Fink said that the continued
requirement of representation by large
financial interests in different railroad
properties was simply an elment of neces-
sity growing out of the law forbidding
open agreement on rates. In his opinion,
the small road is gradually becoming less
influential and must finally. if present
conditions continue, find it's greatest
strength as working part of some large
system.
