A NEW STOCK FOOD
Merits of the Cereal Known as speltz or
Emmer

Emmer
According to recent article in the
Post stlntelligencer a large acreage of
the Palouse and Potlatch country has
been sown to the new Russian cereal
known as speltz or emmer. Expert
ments conducted fot the last few years
demonstrate that the crop will produce
from 60 to 100 bushels to the acre. The
grain is a choice feeding cereal, and
the straw is valuable. In addition to
the forage and seed value the pasture
in early spring and late fall is worth
much for stock and sheep feeding.
With the introduction of mixed farm
ing the growing of speltz will become
one of the most profitable of all the
cereals.
Speltz comes from eastern Russia,
where it was introduced many years
ago. 1t is also. known as emmer, and
is sometimes referred to as a sacred rye
grown in Egypt in the days of Moses.
The seed is covered with hull or chafl
that does not come off by threshing.
This forms n, close protection and pre-
vents decay from moisture or injury
from smut or outside fungus growths.
1t is great drouth resister and rich
producer OF feed.
The farmers OF the United States
will have approximately 100000 acres
planted to speltz this year. They have
tested the cereal and are satisfied ii
possesses great value as a farm money
maker. There is no general market
for the crop except as chop feed for
stock aud horses about the large cities,
but the worth of the plant is in home
feeding. Farmers. who produce NUT
ton, beef and pork for the general mar.
ket want fattening food which can be
grown and harvested with as little ex-
pense as possible. Speltz seems TO be
the stock farmers feed.

NEGROES GOING souTH.


A LITTLE PARAGRAPH in the As
Il sociated Press dispatches pubs
Ished yesterday is worthy OF more
than passing mention Under an
Evansville. Ind. date line the meas
sage said:
Many negroes have been passing
through this city on their way to the
south. where they viii seek homes
Many of them came from DanvilIc.
Ill, and points on the Illinois Central
railway. The feeling against the ne
groes in southern Indiana towns has
grown more intense since the trouble
in Evansville recently.
Isn't that calculated TO upset the
calculations os some of the race theor-
lists? In the north. they have led US
10 believe, the negro is looked upon as
a man and a brother. He is given all
the privileges that belong to the white
man. His children go TO schools at
tended bg white children, he Is per-
mitted to cat in restaurants patron
lied by whites. he rides in railway
coaches with whites and nobody inter
fe-es with him when he casts his bal
lot on election day. III this picture
seems too rosy the northern race the
.orists are to blame for IL.
Now isn't it astonishing that there
SHOULD be an exodus Of negroes from
tho north to the south? Why, every
6cdy knows that in the south negro
children arc forced into schools
attended only by those of their
own color: We are told that a ne
gro may not cat in a restau-
rant along with white people.
When he goes on a railway journey
he is compelled 10 occupy a Jim
Crow" car and when it comes to vot-
ing-well. the counted negro vote in
the south is as rare as truth in a
nominating speech.
More and worse: in the south the
negro is regarded IS an inferior. a
mental. a servant. placed on earth to
minister to the welfare Of the white
man. He Is compelled to take Off bis
hal in public places and he is iynchcd
when he is mc y suspected of com
plicity in a crime All this according
to the gentlemen of the north who
arc settling the race problem at long
range. Is the picture too dark? Then
these gentlemen from the north ara
to blame for it.
How, now, do they account for tbs
rush OF negroes southwark as described
in the dispatch quoted above? Has
the negro been SO badly treated in the
north that he is willing TO take 4
chance with the fire in order to es-
cape the frying pan? Or is it not true
as has often been cOntended. that the
people Of the south are the best friends
of the negro? certainly the north car
get along without the blacks better
than the sonth.
It is, therefore, more to the interest
of the south to treat the negro wei
than it is to the interest OF the nortl
TO be kind 10 him. Both sides are com
