MAY SUCCEED PoWDERLY.
Frank p. Sargent to Be United States
Commissioner General of
Immigration.

The position of commissioner gen
eral of immigration has been ten
dered by the president to Frank P.
Sargent, chief of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, to succeed T. V.
Powderly, the present incumbent.
Mr.. Sargent was born in East Orange,
Orange county, VT, in 1851. Early in
life he decided to become a photog
rapher, and for some time followed
that vocation, but soon tired of it
and emigrated to Arizona. In Arizona
he decided to cast his fortune with
the regular army, and enlisted in the

can under full sail, to rescue a sea-
man who had fallen from aloft.
When the Huron went ashore in a
storm off Cape Hatteras, November
"a, 1877, Ensign Young went over the
side with a line and attempted to
make the shore to summon aid. OF
the crew of 1916 souls 100 had been
lost when Young went over the side.
Up and down the beach for miles
went the young officer. Gathering
the beach combers, Young returned
to the wreck and succeeded in aiding
in the taking off of the 35 men left
of the crew.
1t was for this act of heroism con-
gress made the ensign master, ex-
tended it's thanks and gave him a
gold medal. The states of New York
and Massachusetts each gave gold
medals, and the latter a certificate
of honor also. His home state, Ken
lucky, voted him a sword and made
him an honorary member for life of
the Kentucky legislature. This lat
ter honor had been conferred but
once before-upon Henry Clay.
During the war with Spain Com
mander Young's flagship Hist and
the two other gunboats engaged and
sunk Spanish gunboat, captured a
torpedo boat and nine vessels that
guarded the entrance to the harbor.

Food stufrs from Trees.

Chestnut groves, with full-grown
trees, produce six times as much food
per acre as any cereals, and Hum
boldt estimates that a banana or
chard will feed 25 human beings,
where potato field of the same size
would support two and a wheat farm
only one. A time may come when the
staple of human food will be chiefly
derived from trees, thus increasing
the DEMONSTRATING capacity of our
planet more than five-fold, not to
mention the saving in drudgery, nor
the beneficial climatic influences of
tree plantations. No blowing, hoe
ing and moving, no worrying about
winter food for hungry cattle, no
deserts overspreading vast areas of
tree-deprived territories.

cavalry branch of the service. He
served out his full term of enlistment
and was granted an honorable dis
charge.
From the army Mr.. Sargent drifted
into railroading and secured a start
as wiper in the employ of the
Southern Pacific railroad. From this
humble and not altogether remuner-
ative position he worked his way up
until he reached that degree of eff
cheney where hard and conscientious
work won for him the position of
fireman.
When the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen was organized some 80
years ago, Mr.. Sargent Immediately
identified himself with the organiza-
ton, and soon became one of the
most active workers in it. He was at
length made tae grand master of the
brotherhood, and afterward became
president of the Supreme Council of
Railway Employees, in which position
he had thousands of men under his
charge.
Mr.. Sargent has won general recog-
milton from all of the great employ
ers of labor, owing to his opposite
to strikes.

that he has decided to light the inner

WHEAT is DAMAGED.
Prof. Carleton Finds His Ex-
periments Much Crippled.

| Prof. M. A Carleton, of the United
States department of agriculture, was
in Topeka last night on his way to
Manhattan where he will visit friends
for few days. He has been out at
| Halstead investigating the condition of
the wheat with which the United States
| department is experimenting.
Prof.Carleton's special work is expert
menting with and breeding grains. He
has been engaged in this work for sew
| era1 years, and has made two trips to
| Russia and other grain producing coun-
| tries of Europe to secure new varieties
| of seed with which to conduct expert
mentS.
Prof Carleton left Washington over
| two weeks ago, going first to Georgia
and then to Texas, where extensive ex-
periments are being conducted at Dali
las, Abilene. and San Antonio. From
there he went to Halstead, where still
more extensive experiments are being
conducted He finds that the cold dry
weather ten days ago severely injured
many of the varieties with which he is
experimenting at HalStead.
I'VE have about 40 of the better
known varieties of wheat sown in
tenth-acre plats," said Prof. Carleton,
and about 500 other varieties with
which we are experimenting on a still
smaller scale i find that the dry, cold
weather has severely damaged the
wheat. although 1T is holding its own
remarkably well.
1--WE also have out about a. hundred
varieties of barley, but only about a
half dozen of them survived the cold.
Those that survived all came from Ser
via, where the hardest baTleyS are
grown. In that country the grain grows
well up IN the mountains and endureS
the cold 1t has been almost impossible
to grow a winter barley in Kansas be-
cause none Of the varieties we have
had here were hardy enough to stand
the winters. and we are trying to pro
duce one that will stand it. Further
south in Tennessee the farmers raise
winter barley successfully
I'VE also have a number of varieties
of rye out and will sow some oats in
the spring.
1--WE began our experiments at Hal
stead three years ago but had to aban-
don them last year because of a lack OF
funds This year we are experimenting
there on a larger scale than SYer. 1
ment in the production of different
grains than right here in Kansas. The
conditions here are excellent in all re-
spects.'
The reports of dry weather injuring
the wheat as told by Prof. Carleton are
the wheat belt. At Salina scarcely a
bit OF moisture has fallen since Octo-
Der.
Prof. Carleton says it was compare
lively warm when he left Washington,
but he found two inches of snow in
Georgia When ne got to Texas it was
cold and stormy, but as he came north
1t became warmer. He will spend
few days with friends at Manhattan
and then try a northern climate. He
leaves Wednesday for Fargo, North Da-
kota, to attend a tri-state grain grow
ers' convention as the representative of
the United States department of agri-
culture.
