~ V~rize<' Obscrvatorr
ELKHORN, Wis, April 27-The new
comet, which was observed this nJi nIng
at the YerlSee observato~r At Wiliar~.'s
Bay, is said by the astronomers to be
tae brightest that has appeared for nine
teen years. Notice was received yester-
day by telegraph from Harvard uni
versity that comet had been discovered
at Queenstown, April %, anu observed at
Cape of Good Hope on. the morning Of
April %. Its position at that time was
about is degrees southwest of the sun!
Its position this morning was some Is
degrees north of the sun, indicating a
very rapid northeasterly movemet
Nothing could be seen CT the celestial
visitor last evening at sunset, but this
morning Prof e. r. Frost, assisted BY
7. r. Sullivan, saw the new comet ap-
pear above the horizon. About twentv
minutes before sunrise it could be plainly
seen, although the sky was quite light
1t was of an orange color with two prom.
1nent kites or streamers. 1t remained
visible until fifteen minutes or more
after sunrise when it faded away in the
growing light. 1t was too low in thu
sky to be observed by the forty-inch
telescope and the sky was so bright that
nothing could be seen with the twelve
inch instrument

Saylor says:
'Even in the incipiency of the industry
these factories have shown good profits
They have maintained themselves with
out any apparent real contest with the
sugar trust The sections of the country
that seem most adaptable to the indus
try are where conditions call for new
resources, as in Michigan, where there
has been a phenomenal increase in the
last three years, largely due to the wan
ing of the numbering industry of t. at
region. There will be fourteen factories
there next season. California is the lead
ing state in production with eight fac
tories, including the largest in the wo Id.
The immense amount of pulp and refuse
left after the extraction of the sugar
appeals especially to the farmer and the
icorrollary industries that grow out OF
farm products. Mr.. Saylor says no other
feed is SO valuable and so cheap for the
dairy and stock feeding interests as beet
pulp. These factories turn out fr I'M 20

use or by-product Sugar beets seems
to respond especially to cultivation in the
arid region, where they give better re
suits than any other crop. The arid
section has been enabled to cope with
other sections Of the country where the
crops have been produced by natural
rainfall, not in the amount of tonnage
per acre, but in the higher sugar con-
tents and the purity of beet. The re-
suits in Utah have demonstrated the
feasibility of the central plants idea,
with branches scattered at numerous
points for performing some detailed pal is

GIUSE OF FIX SICKNESS
PARASITIC OUR FUNGUS GROWTH
HAS PRODUCED THE DAM
AGING RESULTS
DISCOVERY BY N. DAKoTAN
Prof. Roley, of Fargo Agricultural
College, Describes the Disease
That Ruins Many
Crop of Flax.

FARGO, N D., April 2S-(Special0-
That the flax sickness. or wilt which
has been so prevalent in the Northwest
Tor year or two, is caused by parasitic
or fungus growth. has been discovered
by Prof. II. L. Bolley of the North Da-
kota agricultural college. He has been
at work for six years on the investiga-
lions, and has just reached the point
where he can prove his theory
Prof. Bolley is we'll known over the
West for his articles on smut t.S- tment
Tor wheat. which were sent broadcast
over the West by the elevator and rail-
road companies for the benefit of the
farmers. The professor advocated the
*ormaldehyde treatment
Some years ago he discovered the
cause and methods of prevention of scab
on potatoes. and his Investigations were
worth thousands of dollars to the farm
3 ers of every part of the Northwest.
His announcement of the disc very as
to the fungus growth on flax Will be re-
garded by the grain men and farmers of
the West as authoritative, and the dis
covery of the true situation will be well
coined
The professor learns that the fungus
grows inside the fax plant something
like smut in wheat but acts differently,
rs it causes an early death of the flax
plant where the smut continues with the
wheat till and after maturity
On land that had been seeded to fax
Dix years no flax could be grown, even
efter renewed seedlings. On four-year
cots there were large areas that were
bare, and on two and three-year seedlings
Ehere were some bare spots.
Although very little appeared on new
breaking, enough was discovered and in
such form as to be positive proof that it
was seeded with the grain The diseased
Aelds were not confined to any localities.
but complaints came from Minnesota and
both Dakotas. There were some places
which reported successful growths of
flax on the same land for six years, but
the fax was from the same crop each
year, threshed on the farm and carefully
selected. Others had no trouble till they
exchanged grain, showing the danger of
that practice.

James Hamilton Lewis Talks of
Next National Campaign.

Next National Campaign.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Ex-Repre-
sentative James Hamilton Lewis, of
Washington, said yesterday that the bat
tie cry of the Democratic party in future
campaigns will be: High wages and
more markets.
1.-The tariff question:, said Mr.. Lewis,
will figure more prominently in the con-
gressional campaign of 1902 and the ma
tional campaign of 1904 than it has figur-
ed in American politics since 1884. The
desire of the business interests of the
United States for higher markets will
overthrow protection. Some Republicans
realize that this is the case ana we fn1
yelled announcements in the Republican
party organizations that the pres dent
will make appeals for reciprocity ring
his coming tour of the country. We fad
also the chairman Of the Republ. can con-
gressional committee threatening to wipe
out tariff on steel. 1t is not worth Wliie
to go into the merits of the Kan sas City
platform 1t is sufficient to ackn5w
edge that a majority of our people were
alarmed at anything that could be made
to look as if it were revolutionary. They
will endure known Ills rather than run
the risk of dangers about which they
know nothing"
Mr.. Lewis expressed the conviction that
the next Democratic candidate for presi-
dent will be David Bennett Hill, cf New
York, and hopes that his running mate
will be Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland. His
estimate Of the chance of Mr.. Hill So
curing the nomination is shared by many
Southern Democrats in Washington
These say that the South is eager for
change Of party conditions and believes
that Mr.. Hill is the only man who can
be nominated who can keep the party
united.

POOR COAL FOR TRANSPORTS.
Government Takes Steps to Improve

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The quarter
master department. of the army has di-
rected Maj. Hyde, quartermaster at Ma
gasaki, to make every effort to procure
a better coal for the transports Wn,cn
coal at that place. The necessity of coal
ig at Nagasaki became apparent soon
after the United States took control at
Manila. 1t is true that coaling could be
done from collier in Manila bay, but only
for six months in the year The re-
mainder of the time 1t is found impos,
sihle to get a ship and collier together

made to coal in San Francisco and Maya
saki and no oftener in Manila than neces>
sary. Maj. Hyde has been instructed to
ascertain which is the best coal to be
found in japan and to contract for a
continuous supply for the transports The
Japanese coal is not the best, but it is
found to be the most economical that can
be used. 1t costs about 81 per ton, while
Australian coal, taken to Nagasaki and
resold, costs about $12 per ton, owing to
the high duty placed upon coal by Japan
in the interest of her own coal fields. The
great drawback to the Japanese coal is
the fact that it contains too much SUI
