CIGARETTE TOBACCO.
Recent Experiments in Cultivation
Oriental Article Grown in Italy.

Recently some prominence has been
given to experiments in the gorwing of
tobacco in Ireland. Mr.. Consul Cocoto
has just supplied the foreign Office an
account of experiments in the growing
of cigarette tobacco in Lecce, Italy. He
states that about ten years ago, on the
public tastes requiring large quantities
of oriental tobacco cigarettes, the re-
partment decided to institute series of
experiments in this province in order to
ascertain whether it was possible to pro-
duce such tobaccos in the country in
stead of importing them. 1t was reflect
ed that the province of Lecce lay in ap-
proximately the same latitude as Greece
and Turkey. from which countries sup
plies were drawn for the requirements of
the department as to cigarette making.
BY observation it was found that the
elements were entirely favorable as to
climate, dominating winds and rainfall,
and that the chemical composition of
the soil was all that could be desired
for the culture in view. But the diff
Guilty was to persuade the husbandman
to effect such radical changes in his sys-
tenn of treating the new plant as were
absolutely necessary to obtain success.
With the ordinary American plant the
farmer had been accustomed to threat
growing tobacco much as he would have
done any other crop. On the first intro

THE PopULIsT ooNFERENcE.

There was a state meeting of Popu-
lists in Topeka Thursday which was at
tended by only ten men. To those who
have been in Kansas since 1880 such a
meeting is significant. 1t is less than
ten years since a call for a conference
of PoDulist leaders in Kansas would
have brought together at least 100 men.
Now the party is represented by less
than a dozen and several of them live
in Topeka.
The rise and fall of the Populist party
covers one of the remarkable epochs in
Kansas. In only a few months a po-
litical party sprang up which was
strong enough to defeat the organized
forces Of the opposition. The battle cry
of the organization was reform and
while the party fell far short of reali-
cation of its declarations it accomplish
ed something. The people found that
legislation is not a panacea for all the
ills from which they may suffer and
that all the rascals are not in one po-
litical party They found that human
nature is weak and that one man is
about as apt to desert his principles, at
the behest of a powerful corporation. as
another.
Conditions drew the people away from
the Populist party, but the former MEM
bers of that organization have the salts
faction of knowing that some of the
principles for which they stood have
been enacted into law in Kansas and
elsewhere.

MR.. FARNswoRrH,s CASE.

The food inspector of Topeka is occu-
plying a position in the lime light of
public attention. The latest thing is
petition requesting the mayor to remove
him from office. 1t is true that accord
ing to Mr. Farnsworths own statement
he has known for long time that en-
balmed milk was being sold in Topeka.
He made no effort to stop the practice
because he did not know that it was
harmful. But it has since been ascer-
tanned that embalmed milk is not en-
tirely wholesome. 1t is pretty certain
that it will not kill people outright and
it is also certain that its use may re-
suit in serious illness and even death.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES.

The new rules adopted by the COM
mittee to govern the game of football
for the coming season afford oppor-
tunity for interesting reflection, says the
Albany Argus. In many years, over
twenty thousand people have gathered
at the larger contests to watch a game
Of which they could see but very little.
For to any one not crouching down on
the side lines the impression of the
match was but confused tumble of
tossing bodies and piles of men form
ing and reforming at short distances
from each other. The coaches found
that the bail was most rapidly adj
vanced by close formations and by the
steady hammering of heavy tackles
into the line, rather than by the whirl
ing of speedy half backs around the
ends. 1t was the apOtheosis of the
heavy artillery. and the lighter and
more brilliant defense was almost ne
elected.
But the demand for more open play
became so strong and insistent last
year. especially from the heads of the
smaller colleges and the preparatory
schools that the rules committee de-
eided that notice must be taken of so
general an opinion, and yet they did
not feel certain that the request for
open play was one whose granting
would aid the game. So that the I'M
usual course was taken of providing
for. two entirely different styles of
play, according to the location of the
ball, and this season on the checker
board. which has succeeded the old
gridiron, we shall have open play be-
tween the two 25-yard lines, while in
the rest of the field the old heavy mass
play is to be continued. 1t will greatly
increase the labors of the officials. this
change in rules as the ball advances:
but the iinesman has been given vast
ly increased responsibility, and he will
aid the others in their work to a con-
siderable degree.
The provision for less defensive
armor, and the change in the rules,
which make such action safe to the
players, is a most sensible one, and
should greatly reduce the number of
injuries to the backs. 1t will no longer
be safe for player to hurl the oppos-
ing full back, just after he has punted
the ball, headlong to the ground simply
to take the ginger out of him. And
many other regulations will afford pro-
lection to the olaYers which they have
lac@Sad till now.
The game ought to be more enjoy
able for the SPECTATORS. safer for the
PLAYERS. and a better test of real
craftsmanship all around.

Secretary Wilson of President Roose-
velts cabinet delivered an address at
the irrigation congress at Ogden Thurs
day and it is a noteworthy fact that he
made no reference to the "semi-arid
region in Kansas.
If Secretary Wilson rode through the
state on any of the three great trunk
lines Of railroads he understood why his
unfortunate reference to Kansas a few
months ago brought forth such a storm
of protests. The trouble with Mr.. Will
son was that he accepted popular rumor
for facts and did not trouble himself to
make an investigation But since then
he has taken the trouble to find out a
few things about Kansas first hand and
he has long ago been ready to apologize
to Secretary Coburn and every other
man in the state for his ridiculous state
ments. If Mr.. Wilson rode through
Kansas and saw the thousands of acres
OF wheat fields he must have felt a

that the 1908 crop should give 125 to $50
tons of oriental tobacco. This would
not be sufficient for one months re-
