To Cultivate
BerSeem

Arrangements are now under way
TO extend over large areas in the
United States. the cultivation of ber.
seem, a remarkable plant which has
been demonstrated to be the secret
and foundation of the inexhaustible
fertility Of Egyptian soil.
Undiminished crops have been
gathered for so many centuries from
the plains of Egypt that It has been
believed until recetly. even by sci.
entifc men, that the secret lay in the
rich agricultural value of Nile silt
Technical investigation conducted by
the United States government shows
this old belief to be an utter fallacy.
We have been accustomed" said
David G. Fairchild. agricultural ex.
plorer for the United States. Ito re-
gard the EgyI tian farmer tilling
perpetually renewed alluvium, where
as tne fact is that the Nile soil is
so lacking in nitrogen that in most
places two good crops Of Indian corn
cannot be raised in successive years
on the same field"
Searching therefore. for the real
secret of Egypts agricultural re-
sources, the remarkable discovery
was made that the plant known rs
berseem has the power to reclaim
barren, alkaline lands and maintain
them in productive state. This
discovery is of world wide Importance
Mr. Fairchild in the Nile delta
visited basins OF alkaline lands that
had been thoroughly reclaimed by
growing berseem there. He saw
cattle and horses grazing on luxurious
helds of berseem--helds that two
years before we're, he says, "as bar.
ren OF vegetation as q bathing beach. /"
| Furthermore. the roots OF berseem
stored such a vast amount Of nitrogen
in the soil reclaimed that on the
third year the land was able to pro.
duce a crop of cotton.
Berseem Is a species Of Trifolium
which has the power. as indicated.
not only TO consume saline and al.
kaline properties in the land. but ALSO
TO enrich Il with nitrates. Some.
thing of a composite Of alfalfa and
clover 1t Is in every way more deli.
cate in flavor and succulent than
either. In Egypt It is the food of
horses, camels, cattle and donkeys.
Even the peasants or fellaheen find Il
a palatable dish
Berseem is remarkably fattening'
The Department OF Agriculture pro
! nounces IL TO be one of the most nu.
| tritious green foods known.
a further remarkable fact in regard
TO the plant, and one which win re.
commend II widely, is that II has
the power TO kill most kind Of weeds.
For miles in Egypt the American ex.
perts rode along fields of berseom
In which scarcely a weed was TO be
seen.
II is the purpose TO test this plant
in Texas, Arizona. Oregon, washing
ton and other sections OF the North
west. In the Southwest Il will be
tried in rotation with cotton; In Ari
zona and California, where irrigation
is practiced berseem will be used as
winter c1iling and fodder crop; and
in the Northwest, where II will be
planted after danger OF frost has
passed and harvested before the
heated term, IL will be tried In rota-
tion with wheat

The grating Of an ear to the head
Of a western millionaire in a Phila

Quel Though the man who sold his
aural appendage to the millionaire for
$4,000 made the sacrifice willingly.
now that the ear is gone he misses IT,

That is the story which has devel

Hungarian miner from Hurley. wis,
who has received letter from the
East Offering him $1,000 for an ear to
replace that which was taken from lts

who says that the call made upon him
was professional, the Hun wanting to

Incidentally the man who sold his

Rich Pay Gravel Struck on the Tan.
ana River.
The news comes from Dawson that
a gold-bearing pay streak equal 10 tho
famous Klondike has been located on
the Tanana River near Fairbanks.
The gold in the new camp Is not con
fined TO narrow streaks like that OF
the Klondike region and is therefore
not Of such great richness to the
bucket More territory viii have to be
worked tossecure equal values in gold,
but II Is believed that with the intro
duction Of proper machinery the out
put will be very large. The work OF
development thus far has been done
by poor men with little other equip
ment than a shovel and pan.
Winter travel between Dawson and
Fairbanks is opening with something
like a rush. and many prospectors Will
go in during the winter. A shortage
of supplies will discourage great In.
/ fiux until next summer, however. when
regular stampede is expected.
According TO advlcos the pay streaks
are 80 miles long, located on creeks
proper and exclusive OF bench claims
many OF which have been found very
rich. The width OF the pay streaks Is
not taken into consideration, although
some OF them have been found 20 ex.
tend over the width OF three American
claims. The following is given as a
summary OF the location OF pay streaks
on the various creeks.
Gold Sream-Pay located fve
miles. Full extent Of prospecting
done.
Gilmore-Thrce miles OF pay In

face pay Is uncovered 1900 feet wide
and the limit not yet reached.

and not a blank has been struck
Twln--A tributary; has one mile OF
pay while the side claims are very
rich.
Cleary-Four miles have been pros
pected, with the usual result, good
pay everywhere.
BedrOck-One mile; Chatham, one
and One.half miles and Wolf, two

Kansas City, Mo-, June Blue sky
was visible above Kansas City this after
noon. The rains have disappeared, and
the sun was visible for the first time this
week.
The waters Of the Kansas river have fal
len eight inches today aud tonight and are
steadily declining at the rate Of about one
half an inch an hour In the Missouri
the stage of 50 feet is still maintained, but
this is due to the rise which has been COM
ing down the Missouri proper, and has
been able to OBJECT the fall of the Kansas.
1t is the water in the latter stream, how
ever, that has caused all the damage in
this city and in Kansas City, Kansas, and
with it at 4 normal stage, business in Kan
sas City will soon resume usual conditions.
This city by narrow margin has es-
capped serious shortage in food, has faced
the peril of fire, utterly helpless to avert
its consequences, has suffered millions of
dollars of damage to property and sus-
tanned a loss in life that, in all probability,
never will be accurately measured, and
now it is commencing to believe promises
of better things.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE INCREASERS
Imports and Exports Show Steady In
crease.

Washington, June 2.-The alarms wh!ch
have been sounded for the past two years
regarding the trade relations between the
United States and certain other countries
of the world find no justification in the tg-
ures of our commerce up to this tlme'
The three countries which have been men,
toned from time to time as likely to de-
crease their importations from the United
States are Russia, Austria. Hungaryand Ger
many. A study of the latest figures otthe
Treasury Bureau of Statistics regarding
our imports and exports show a steady
growth in the trade relations with all these
countries, and indicates that our commerce
with each of them is likely to be larger In
the present fiscal year than in any preyl'
GUS year.
This is true both of the imports and the
exports. To each of these three countries
our exports are steadily and rapidly In
creasing and from each of them our I'M
ports are also steadily increasing. This Is
strongly marked in the figures OF cur trade
relations with Russia in the present hscaI
wear. The latest figures show that our ex'
ports to Russia for the nine months end
ing April 80 we're nearly double those Of
the corresponding period in any year o.
the last decade, and that our imports from
Russia are also steadily and rapidly increas

from the food. The current is rapidly

city from north. People are dropping
from the tops of houses and trees, having
become exhausted by theil eighteen hours
imprisonment, and are being swept away.
Several are known to have been burned TO
DEATH
1t is reported by men who have been In
sight of the district that hundreds are suf-
fering and sick. The current is so strong
that care are useless, and early in the at.
tornoon gang was organized to row
as far as possible and swim the rest of
the distance. Several houses were over.
turned and women have been struggling in
the water. The river reached the Rock Is
land depot on First street today. The
water on Crane street is eight feet deep
and the current is like mill race. Per
haps hundred people have been thrown
into the water at that point. The river Is
25 feet above low water mark and is still
rising. The weather is cold and the people
who have not been rescued are suffering
Unles they have help soon tits
