THE E TRIBUNE.

Bulletin No. 81, issued this spring by
the experiment station of this state
contains some very interesting facts re-
garding the cultivation Of corn. Among
other things the experiments at the
station proved that corn is an excellent
rotation crop for wheat and flax. In
the dry season of 1900, the average
yield Of wheat after wheat on fall
plowed land was five bushels per acre.
The average yield after corn was 24.6
bushels per acre, or nearly twenty
bushels greater yield from the land
which had grown a crop of corn in
1899. Wheat after corn yielded a
trihe better than wheat after potatoes,
but a little less than wheat On summer
fallow. In the wet season of 1901,
wheat after wheat yielded twenty-one
bushels. wheat after corn twenty-one
bushels and on summer fallow eighteen
bushels per acre. Thus the rotation
with corn has proven beneficial in two
very extreme seasons. The advantage
of a previous rotation to corr is most
marked in the following wheat crop
during a dry season and this seems to
be due to the fact that the growing of
corn along with the cultivation which
the crop receives conserves the moist
ure in the soil. 1t was found in the
fall of 1900 that corn ground contained
two inches more water than wheat
ground, which was an increase of 20
per cent in the available water stored
in the soil for the next years crop.
Corn was found to be superior to sum-
mer fallow and next to potatoes as a
rotation crop after wheat. Regarding
fax, though the experiments at the sta
tion have not been SO extended, but in
the dry season of 1900 it was found
that land which had been previously
cropped to corn yielded, by careful est
mate, six and one-half bushels more
flax per acre than land which had beer
previously cropped to wheat for fv,
years.

TAYLOR DENIES the STORY.
simply Said Our SeacOast Defenses
Should BE Protected.


New York, Aug. Am a recent dis
patch from Washington, Rear Admiral
Taylor, chief of the Bureau
of Navigation, was credited
with having given expression to
the ideas referred to in the foregoing
message from Berlin. In this Wash
ington dispatch Rear Admiral Taylor
was described as thoroughly alive to
the STEADY set of a current which is
carrying the United States and Ger
many along conVerging lines in many
parts of the globe and bringing these
two nations into closer rivalry every
where"
To Rear Admiral Taylor was given
the credit of warning the leaders of
the United States navy and army that
preparation must begin at once and be
vigorously prosecuted from this time
forth for a grave crisis in German
American relations in the spring of
1907. The time of this crisis
is fixed coincident with
the most efficient sea power
Germany now contemplates, the time
when the Panama canal will be occu-
plying much attention in this country.
when the Cuban republic may have
about reached the end of its tether,
when Jamaica and other West Indian
Islands will be PROSTATE in bankrupt
cy, when the Observation-Disclosures
to Admiral Taylor's predictions-will
have been absorbed by Germany, leav-
ing Curacao and other Dutch islands
of the Caribbean sea as bones of con-
tention to force a supreme test of the
Monroe Doctrine.
What Taylor Is Reported to Have
Said.
Chicago, Aug. 4.-Rear Admiral
Taylor denies the story to the effect
that he believes the United States and
Germany may go to war in 1907. When
asked if he had set a date for a. con-
tlict between. the two countries. he
said:
Such assertions as have been cred
tied to me are without foundation
other than that l have said our sea
coast defenses should be well protect
ed against attack by any European
Power. All naval officers are of this
opinion. 1t would be ridiculous for
me to predict a war with any nation.
Our navy should be strengthened in
readiness for any possible war"

This announcement was made by
President Mellen of the Northern Pa
cific at Davenport to-day. The occasion
was unique in the history of American
railroads. Three railway presidents in
response to a petition of the prominent
farmers of the Big Bend country had
'iSsSiiplSh at tire COUNTY seat u Liz

and plead their own interests. They
were James j. Hill, president of the

Railway and Navigation lines of the
Hartman system With them was a
group of lesser railroad notables Pub
lie addresses were delivered by the
three presidents. Then adjournment
was taken to the armory where an old
fashioned country dinner was served.
The presidents entered heartily into the
spirit of the occasion. MIR. Hill re-
marked that he had not enjoyed him
self so thoroughly in many a day.
President Hill made a speech to the
farmers in which he vigorously at
tackled legislation on railway rates,
saying:
AS well attempt to set a broken
limb by statutes as to regulate rates.
You can legislate until the barn doors
rot off. The best thing to do is to act
as you have here, with the officials
We will try to act i'm such way that
you will realize that we are doing
something fair and in good faith.
What you want is the highest price
from any store. You want a new mar
ket. You must make more people use
your stuff. Statesmen will tell us how
to do this; but they get consideration
for doing so. l cannot find in public
acts one intelligent thing you have
done to get new markets. What you
should do is to raise, stock. roots, for

the President speaking freely and
frankly of his attitude in the matter
The President is satisfied thoroughly
that the Philippine friars have not
the confidence of the natives. 1t is his
wish, therefore, to have withdrawn
from the archipelago the friars now

heed, and to replace them with good
men, as many from America as pos
sible, to whom the natives will listen

rejoicing at strike headquarters to-

work might be started at the Wood

Those in charge in strike headquar-
