The PENNSYLVANIA Station.

We are glad to learn that the plan
for transferring the analyses of fer
tilizers from the Fv~eriment Station
at State College Pa. has not been
carried out. Much as we are con-
vinced that the station should not be
obliged to ear nmOney in this or any
other way, we cannot think that the
Boar dof Agriculture will delibeT
ately cripple the station by the with
draWal of this earned support. TheO-
TetiCally the work of controlling the
fertilizer trade belongs to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. But so lOn% as
the great State Of PENNSYLVANIA fails
10 recognize the benefit that comes to
her agriculture through the National
appropriation, by SupDlementing II
with enough means to make the work
Of the station effective, we can see 10
other way for the Station to get the
means but by doing work for living
when they should be devoting every
energy TO the elucidation of the pro-
blems that farmers need to have
solved i'm their work. With the Gen
eral Government furnishing means
for the employment of the best talent
for investigation the State surely can
afford to make their work effective.
that the Board of Agriculture will
see the necessity of their helping the
Station, even if it is in effect watch
ing the rogues.
The Great Corn Plant.
Today we pulled, without selection,
two ears of white dent corn from our
seed patch, both from the same stalk.
The upper ear has S32 grains on tWen-
ty rows. and the lower one 720 grains
on eighteen rows. There would have
been more on each ear but for the
damage done by the boil worm on the
tips Of each ear. Both are of per-
fectly cylindrical type and were borne
on q stalk that was stout. and short
iointed, and well leaved, but not extra
tail. The selection will be continued
by planting both ears and others like
them, separately That is. lower ears
by themselves and upper ears by
themselves. to note the effect of such
selection. over 1900 grains grown
from one grain, shows the wonderful
capacity of the corn plant. This corn
is now of such a stature that it can
be planted in rows less than four feet
apart and 20 inches in the rows, and
if all the stalks bore like this one.
there would be fully 100 bushels OF
corn on an acre. And yet in the State
where this corn grew the average crop
is about IA bushels per acre. Seed is
selected from the biggest ears in the
crib, and the natural tendency of corn
there being to grow tall, it does grow
so tall that it is found necessary to
plant it five or six feet apart and one
stalk in place. Then, we have fig
ured out that even if every stalk thus
planted was as good as the one de-
scribed there would only be about the
average IA bushels per acre. To get
a heavy crop of corn it is essential
that there be stalks enough on the
land. and productive stalks. too. The
importance Of good breeding is,
therefore easy to see. It is even of
more importance than the improve
ment Of the soil itself. Around our
seed plants we do not allow any plant
to ripen a tassel if it has less than two
ears on it.-W. f. MASSEY, in Prac-
tiCal Farmer.

An Aoe of Crime.

i.The educational advancement and social refinement of the present age is strongly confronted and combatted by the criminal instinct which is taking a most alarming hold upon the human race.
 It cannot be easily understood why, in all centers of large population, criminal spasmodic manifestations continue to so frequently appear. An abnormal development of crime just now appears in the old world as well as in the new. Great Britain Is alarmed at statistics on crime there presented and even the little king dom of Denmark, where one-half the population is rural and where educa. tion is universal and religious convic- tons are profound, is suffering as she has never done before.
 Murder and moral disorders are af- fiicting Italy, Spain, France and Bela gium to say nothing of the savage misdeeds daily perpetrated in Russia.
 It can hardly be stated with truth that the human race as a whole Is de- generating. The trouble seems to be with individuals. The human race Is increasing in numbers and rapidly covering the face of the earth. Hu. man activities have become intense and complex, and thus more ways are open for crime. Might and power are always dangerous, even though they be necessary to accomplish great ends.
 The inventive genius of this age has much to do with deeds of violence. There are more people with greater opportunities to do things they should not do, and yet there is more good in this world of ours than there ever was before.
 Disregard of property rights and for h':man life must be checked by the strong arm of the law, if moral suasion loses 1t power.

 would be the ranking member if gap
 had not occurred between his house
 service and his entry of the senate. MT. Cockrell took his seat in the sen. ate in 1875, but he had not served in the house. Our own senior senator took his seat in 1877. Like General Cockrell, he had not seen any house service. Of the seven seniors, MT. Hawley is wholly ineapacitated, and his successor will be chosen this win ter and so will General Cockrell's sue cessor. The other five are old men, but each and every one of them is in good strength and health, and all of them-Ahison, Morgan, Platt, Hale and Frye-bid fair to be reelected and to serve many years to come. All hope they may, for they are each and all efficient and well-equipped senators.

FIGURE H7"

From the New York Press.
 The figure in symbolism takes high rank. c. L. Darrow, Brooklynite, says: "The number of MT. Roosevelt's electoral votes Is 343, which equals 7x7x7 or 49 sevens MT. Parker's vote was 133, or 19 sevens. The presidents majority is 210 or 30 sevens. There are 478 electoral votes. or 6S sevens. The sum of the di- gifts and Is IA, or sevens. The sum of the digits 133 equals one seven. In the number 34s the sum of the middle digit and either of the others is seven Seven Is the middle digit of 476. The sum of these (4x7x6) is IT, or one 10 and one T.
 The presidents majority of the popular vote is set down at 1000. Taking the significant figures-216S-the first two (2D equal three seven. The first and last (2S) equal four sevens The last three Q60 equal "A seyens. The sum of the middle digits is seven. The sum of all the digits equals +, another 10 and '. The sum of the cubes of these digits Is 737 which gives two more sevens. Seven plus 3 plus T equals 17-another 10 and 2. The signif- canoe of number 1T Is this; It is made of 10 and ': the latter is the number of life and the symbol of perfection; the former is the symbol of law and righteousness, that Is, the Ten Commandments The law of life IS passed Oil Iiie law LII TlsuleooS- ness; the one involves and necessitates the other. It is as true of nations as of individuals. Join the two symbols, 10 and T. and we have, of course, F.
 This election year Is 1904 The number is equal to PIP sevens; 272 equals Is seven teens, or 16 tens and Is sevens. The sum sevens. The sum of the square of the sevens. The su moi the square of the digits of 1904 equals 9S or IA sevens, and plus equals IT, or yet again one 10 and one T."

Atlanta is Strictly Inland.

The city of Atlanta. which is hope 1essly inland, is fighting the railroads, Ff1emanding lower rates from Ohio L1iver and eastern points. It is partic- Enlarly distressed because Birming- kham, distant from Memphis 251 miles, Fhas better rates from Ohio river bas- ling points.
 Atlanta is fighting the railroads fwith wind and at the same time that town is promoting the building of an air line railroad to the sea-to Pensa- rola. Charles H. Bliss, editor of the Bliss Magazine, published at Pensa- cola. takes a hand in the scrimmage, claiming that a railroad from Atlanta Ao Pensacola would clear the air in both cities, bring the railroad man shgers to their senses and harmonize AHhe universe. MT. Bliss, however, Ineglects to say where the tonnage lies that would support the proposed EAtlanta- Pensacola shortcut. Atlanta's Homage is light, and but little of it icould be diverted to Pensacola, there
 being other Richmonds in the field. Altogether the Atlanta-P Pensacola rail road is a dream of Editor Bliss and of his colleagues in Atlanta.
 Birmingham will soon have slack water navigation, open all the year to the sea, and Atlanta's best hope lies, not in new railroads, but in the i'm provement of the Chattahoochee. If 1t can induce the government to open the Chattahoochee up to Atlanta it can get into Birmingham's class, but until it does accomplish that task 1t must stay in Class B, despite all it's kicks and hot-air fussing.

Money Plentiful.

The banks of Alabama are in pie ,thoric condition. That is to say. they have money to Iend-in fact, more than they can find safe use for just at this time, but. they can wait for yet while.
 There was a time when the busi- ness and general industrial interests of Alabama were dependent entirely upon New York and other eastern money centers for cash with which to move the crops and to otherwise con duct business affairs, and at all times rthe south was in debt to the east. Now the people of this section not only have large sums in local banks, but large balances in the eastern financial centers.
 This is all due to the large crops of cotton with good prices and of the pro- duction of food crops. Ours is an agricultural section and we are buy ing little and selling much. This i'm provement and general independence comes not alone to the Alabama farm CTS, but to the country and the city merchants down this way.
 Our country people are building bet ter houses and providing themselves with all modern farm implements. The signs of progress are visible on every hand, and we are every year growing more independent and pros porous. The surplus money made and now held by southern people will find profitable investment right here at home. There is to be an increase in the number of manufacturing plants and doors opened for an influx of worthy immigrants from the north, east and west and from away across the seas.
 Of course, the banks will want to keep their deposits in safe circulation and the worthy man or institution will have no difficulty in obtaining cash. This all means greater and more rapid development of our states re- sources

 have observed recently the many aeci- dents on railroads and street railroads hereabouts, and the large verdicts for damages. being accorded. Yet fail to find any punishment of the negligent individ- ual who caused the accident resulting in damage suits. The law for criminal negli- gence should be enforced here as Ten nessee is enforcing it in the case of the conductor who stuck his orders in his pocket and allowed his tram To go on beyond an ordered meeting point, result ing in the loss of many lives by collision.
 The street car motorman who runs his car recklessly and destroys life by his carelessness deserves a penitentiary cell for a few years to consider If a criminal negligence law were enforced to the let ter and the man in charge of locomotive or trolley car be punished according to his deserts, there would be fewer damage suits. The reckless and negligent are more dangerous than the criminal. If a few reckless street car motormen were ar rested and punished severely the others would become more careful, and there would be fewer accidents and and but an occasional damage suit.
