So-CalIed New Grain Is Known Cor
rectly as "PoIish Wheat and its
Chief Value Is as q Hog Food.

Washington, March 2S.-An en-
ormous number of letters is being
received at the Department of
Agriculture from farmers from all
parts of the country, asking for de-
finite information concerning a So
called new grain, called corn
wheat. The writers usual Z, at the
same time, request samples for trial.
1t was said at the department
that these letters are the result of
newspaper reports which originated
in the State of Washington, and
which have been widely copied.
In order to enlighten the farmers
generally on the actual facts con-
corning this grain, so far as known,
statement was given out at the de-
partment today, which says in
part:
There is no such thing as corn
wheat, and it is probable that no
such brand of corn and wheat could
ever be produced, or at any rate,
one that would be fertile. The
grain under discussion is known
correctly as Polish wheat.
1T is not native to Poland, how
ever, but its original home is prob
ably somewhere in the Mediterra-
mean region. The newspaper re-
ports are correct in saying that the
heads and grains of this wheat are
very large, being in many cases,
twice the size of ordinary wheat
grains. The statement that it
yields sixty to 100 bushels, is,
however, probably considerably ex-
aggerated.
I'm appearance and quality,
grain of this wheat is very much
like macaroni wheats, and it is, in
fact, used occasionally for making
macaroni. The wheat has been
grown only experimentally in this
country, except in very few
places, but it is believed the grain
would be very good as hog food.
Polish wheat is much restricted
in its adaptation, and could not be
successfully grown anywhere east
of the Mississippi River, but only
in the great PLAIN region, in Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and other
parts of the mountain and Pacific
states, where grain is usually
grown.
1T is variety which might well
be grown in those districts, how
ever, particularly because of its
great resistance to drouth and for
the purpose of feeding to stock, or
for its probable value in making
macaroni."

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
HOnOred by the People in Tren-
ton, New Jersey.

ton, New Jersey.
TRENTON, N. j., April 3.-The
color line in Trenton society was
altogether relaxed last evening
when a large and fashionable au-
dience thronged the big hall of the
Y. M. G. A. to hear Booker r.
Washington, the famous negro
leader.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Contemporary Club,
composed exclusively of women
who are social leaders, not only in
the city but in the state as we'll.
Distinguished Trentonians, includ-
ing ministers and other distin-
guished men, and heads of busi-
ness firms, occupied places on the
platform and applauded as vigor-
ously as any one the negro orator.
Washington was the guest while
in Trenton of DR.. and Mrs. James
Green, the former being principal
of the state schools and the latter
one of the most accomplished and
cultured women of the capital.
The famous negro was accorded
every mark of consideration, not
only by the Greens but by all 9TH
er society people of the city as
we'll, many of the leaders calling
to meet him yesterday afternoon.
Just previous to noon yesterday
he delivered an address to 1,500
of the students of the state schools
and of the Trenton high school,
in the auditorium of the normal
school. He was enthusiastically
received by the young men and
women when he appeared on the
platform, escorted by Bishop James
A. McFaul, of the Catholic diocese
of Trenton, and was introduced by
DR.. Green.
For more than an hour the IA
nous negro thrilled his audience
with the story of his early life and
his struggles to attain an education.
He moved his hearers at will from
laughter to tears, and at one time
became so dramatic that a girl stu
dent tainted.
Washington paused for a mo.
ment as the young woman was be.
ing carried from the room, and
then resumed his discourse as
calmly as though nothing had hap
pened Among other things he
said:
"In 1881, 1 started the Tuskegee
school in an old shed, and, after
teaching few days, enlarged it by
calling into service an old her
house.
To-day there are l 400 students

Lincoln Institute Notes.

lhO luOulty anu Sbuu6ulS VI Llu-
coin Institute have had several
rare treats in the recent Sunday
afternoon sermons preached by
Revs. Patillo, Clayton Brooks, and
others.
The discourse of the first men,
toned was a most scholarly effort,
prepared expressly for the occa-
sion; and its historical illusions
were source of great intellectual
pleasure to all, but especially, per-
haps, to the B. Normal class in
General History, the members of
which, under the leadership of
Prof. j. Silone-Yates, have be-
come intensely interested in the
great events and personages of
Ancient, Medieval, and Modern
History; while newspapers and
magazines are eagerly purchased
and carefully read for the current
events of the day, that become the
! history of the morrow.
The sermon preached by Rev.
Clayton Brooks was no less mas
terpiece and vividly pictured the

The Union Literary and Debat-
ing Society, composed of the
young men of the Senior and
Junior Normal classes, entertained
the Faculty, the Olive Branch, and
members, Saturday evening, April
14th. The subject for debate, Re-
solved, "That Co. Education is a
Failure
Affirmative, Messrs. S. A. Logan,
R. A. West. Negative, Messrs.
Amos Madison, A. P. Bolden, was
handled in a scholarly manner and
reflected much credit upon the
young men. The same eulogy
may be pronounced upon the pa
pers, orations and musical num-
bers rendered.
A challenge for joint debate from
the young men of the U. l.. D.
was accepted by the young ladies
of the Olive Branch; the subject
and time to be decided upon by 6
committee from each society.
The entertainment Of Friday
night April 3rd, for benefit of the
"Girls dormitory" was a decided
success among the many interest
ing features were the drill by the
little people of the model school
and, the spelling match, in which
twenty. four students from the Nor
NAL department participated. Tit
first prize was won by Wilfreo
Wise of the B. Normal class.
President Allen presided, and
presented the prize in glowing
, words that will certainly inspir
the receiver to continue in his as
pirations to stand at or near, tn
top of every undertaking.

Very frequently teacher desir-
ing degree gets it for some work
that has nothing to do with the
subject he is finally called upon to
teach, and his studying for it may
have been waste of time that
would have been better spent in
acquiring knowledge of teaching
his special branch in the college
curriculum.
This worship of the degree is a
kind Of educational snobbery that
is not at all in keeping with our
democratic institutions. 1t may
work more harm than good, and
many men who have letters tackled
to their names, indicating the doc.
tors degree, are far from good
teachers, compared with others
who have not had the opportunity
to get degree, but have become
good teachers.
AT meeting recently of the
trustees Of the Iowa state agricul-
tural college, the name of Secre-
tary Wilson was suggested as a
candidate. Secretary Wilson will,
however, not accept, as he has no
desire to resign his seat in the
cabinet, and is very much interest
ed in the work of the national de-
partment of agriculture. He was
at one time connected with the
Iowa state agricultural college, and
the trustees would like very much
to have him at the head of the
institution.

Niedermeyer's maiority, Al.
Schwabe's majority, g.


The day was busy one around
the polling places, and it was evil
dent that the negroes were going
to show their numerical strength.
When it was ascertained that
Messrs. Niedermeyer and Schwabe
were elected, the colored voters
paraded the streets with brass band,
shouting 'What's the matter with
Niedermeyer-he's all right )" and
also this couplet:
Democrats, democrats, what you
goin' to dor
We've elected Niedermeyer and
Schwabe, too"
There was also rejoicing by ne
groes on Walnut and Ninth streets
and frequent speculation among
them as to which of them would be
policeman, street commissioner, etc. =,
showing that they have been led to
expect great things at the hands of
the new mayor. However, it is
safe to say that no such revolution
will take place in the city govern
ment of Columbia, because the gen
tleman who is to succeed Mr..
Parker as mayor, has no desire
to substitute negroes for white men
in the city administration, and if he
so desired, he must first have the
cooperation of the city council.
The total vote of each ward was
