Agricultural College Experiments.

AShHCufIur81 SOHiS$S Experiments.
Topeka. June 1.-THE regents of
the state agricultural college have
published the results of experiments
with varieties of field corn best adapt
ed to Kansas climate and soil. While
making these experiments the authori-
ties learned that there are several va
rieties of corn grown in this state
which are better adapted to the soil
and climate than corn which has made
good yields in other states. The corn,
''Hildreth Yellow Dent" easily rank.
ed third in the experiments was grown
from seed furnished by Kansas men.
OF the best three varieties, the agri-
cultural college bulletin says:
Childbirth yellow dent easily ranked
first as the best producing variety,
giving an average yield from two
plots of eighty-nine bushels to the
acre. This is a rank-growing, large
cared, lste-maturing corn which has
been grown in Labette county many
years, until it may be called native
variety. Mr.. Z. E. Hildreth, Alta
mont, from whom the seed was secur.
ed, says that it withstands drought
better than other varieties, which he
attributes to the large stalks and
large cobs, which are characteristic
of the variety. The cobs, although
rather large, were covered with eigh-
teen to twenty rows of medium deep
kernels, giving a large amount, as
we'll as a large per cent of shelled
corn to the ear. This is promising
variety of corn, but may be too late
in maturing for growing in the north
ern part of the state.
brazilian -four corn is pre-emi-
nently a fodder corn, but it appears
to be a good producer of grain also,
ranking second in yield (S2.Ol bushels
to the acre. in this trial. The corn,
however, ia soft and starchy, and has
less feeding value than dent corn, and
no regular market value except for
seed. AS fodder corn this variety
ranks high, making a large, leafy
growth, suckering freely and bearing
many ears, which increase the rich.
ness of the fodder.
'Hammett white dent, which ranked
third in yield 1904 bushels to the
acre), is another native Kansas
corn, which has been grown in the vi
cinity of Marysville for the last twen-
ty years. MIR. Hammett exhibited 9
sample of this corn at the worlds
fair in 1898, and took a medal and 9
diploma. This variety matured med
ium early. 1t made a good growth o
stalks, and almost every stalk bor'
an ear. The ears are rather short
an6 the cobs are medium large, with
a fair depth of kernel, but the pc
cent of corn to cob was rather low
This variety was grown on the un
MANFRED land mentioned above, ani
gave an inferior yield OF 80. As bushel
to the acre. Mr.. Hammett says tn
corn is best adapted for growing OF
bottom land and on fertile SOIL"

THE SOCIALIST CONVENTION.

From the fact that only two coun-
ties in the state took any interest of
note in the socialist state convention,
it is concluded that socialism in Wyo-
was nothing to it in the first place.
A few discontinued people cannot
make a political party. At times they
become a disturbing element, out they
rarely ever accomplish any good, for
the reason that they become discon-
tented with their own discomfort and
fly to other vagaries and impractical
propositions. Again, they are of the
sort that cannot be united. Each has
ideas so contrary to the ideas of all
the others that union is rendered i'm
possible.
Indications point to the conclusion
that the last convention, like the first,
was called II conducted for the sole
purpose of giving Judge G~roesbeck an
opportunity to run for supreme judge.
This will make his fourth race for the
office and it has assumed the nature
of a habit. Were it not for the fact
that the spectacle is p%itiable, it would
be humorous.
At times the judges friends have
thought they discerned signs of re-
turning reason, but this last action is
