AS the result of experiments in cross
Ing sweet corn the New Jersey expert
ment station announces the production
of new variety to be known as the
Voorhees, sweet corn. the director of
the station having consented to this
use of his name. This variety is a
cross of the Mexican, a black corn, and
the Egyptian, Il white or amber, which
results in beautiful pink when the
ears are picked green for cooking and
red when mature Mexican is n varie
tv of superior quality. while Egyptian
has both great prOductiveness and
high quality and is leading variety
for canning purposes.
For the Voorhees, are claimed the
good qualities Of both parents, to which
is added the pink color attractively
present when the corn Is prepared for
the table.
The Voorhees, sweet corn IL offered
for distribution by the experiment sta
ton to the people of New Jersey.
Each packet contains twenty five

GOOD ROADS.
The Railroad and the Wagon Road.
What the Good Road Does.

What the Good Road Does.
In an address before the recent con
yention of the Oregon State Good
Roads association A. l.. Craig. a prom
inent railroad official, made the follow
ing pertinent remarks:
Today | am Informed that about the
greatest distance n farmer can afford
to haul wheat over existing wagon
roads to the railroad is about twenty
miles. If the wagon road can be so
improved that with the same number
of horses and with the same wagon
two tons can be hauled where one is
the present limit it will also be found
that the extreme boundary of the prof
table wheat area would be forty
miles, or double what 1t Is now-that
Is, a farmer under the improved condi-
ton of wagon roads. forty miles dis
tant from the market, could produce
wheat with as much profit for himself
as the farmer who today is but one
half that distance removed from the
buyer at the railway station.
Have you, who live from ten to
considered that in addition to a great
reduction in the wear and tear on
horses and wagons as well as upon
yourselves, good roads would increase
the value of the land itself by, as 1t
were, picking 1t up bodily and placing
1t nearer the town?
The old settler in Oregon who came
across the plains knows that the same
number OF miles intervene between the
Missouri and Willamette rivers that
were there In the fifties and sixties,
but he also knows that the distance In
effect has been shortened so that the
relation between then and now is as
six months Is to three days. And
what has brought this about2 Moth
ing but good roads, railroads, to be
sure, but good railroad is simply a
good road for locomotives and cars to
run on and is an evolution from the
wagon road.

It more free from dirt, ii Is preferred
by many farmers to the latter. AS the
soy bean is tender, it is not usually
planted till settled weather, the last OF
May or first of June; some eastern
Kansas farmers say any time before
July as a profitable crop after wheat or
oats.
The soy bean is valuable for green
manuring and for hay and is one of the
best of the legumes for the silo. The
beans, fed either In the straw or when
thrashed, are good food for all kinds
of animals, keeping them in thrifty
condition and with glossy coats. In
some localities the entire plant is har-
vested in the field by hogs and cows
eating II to the ground.
The crop Is cultivated like corn, the
seed being sown In drills at the rate of
one-h half to one bushel per acre.
1t is claimed that the yield of crops
of all kinds is increased where they
follow soy beans, wheat having shown
In large fields an increase of five bush
els per acre when following soy beans
over that grown on adjoining land that
had not been in beans. This increase
was shown where soy beans bearing
no tubercles were grown.
When the nitrogen gathering bac-
terra that live in tubercles growing
upon the roots are present they take
nitrogen from the air and combine it
with other elements into compounds
suitable for plant food. To Introduce
these bacteria into soil from which
they are absent soil is taken from
field where tubercles are abundant on
the roots of the plants and is drilled in
with thp seed

Treatment of Frozen Fruit Trees.
Reports as to damage 10 fruit trees
by frost, especially IN New York and
New England. have been somewhat
conflicting. Professor Waite, patholo-
gist in charge of Investigations Of dis
eases of orchard fruits. after looking
over the situation III the Hudson and
Connecticut river valleys concluded
that the damage is mainly to peach.
japanese plum and pear trees, and
the most serious harm Is confined to
the lower levels and pockets. he Wis
tied the orchards around Marlboro and
Milton on the Hudson river and also
those located at South Glastonbury
Conn, and found in conversation with
the growers that, as d rule they over
estimated the damage. In several
cases orchards were already cut down
which would probably have recovered
if given proper treatment.
In bulletin 81. on fruit trees frozen
in 1904, Professor Waite states that
nearly all peach trees In which the
bark is stuck tight at the critical point
about two feet from the ground
may be expected to pull through, and
many IDaI nave Tue DhIh pdi lldils
loosened may recover, Moderate prun-
ing back. followed by good cultivation

fertilizing, is the best course to pursue.

The mere statement in the soil survey

not always enough to induce the farm

DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
Witnesses Testify to FraudulcntIy
Procuring Lands.

Witnesses Testify to FrauduIcmtly
Procuring Lands.
San Francisco, April 1S.-The ex-
animation into the Hyde Dimond Ind
fraud cases was resumed before Unit
ed States Commissioner Heacock. Ben
jamin F. Allen, former superintendent
of forestry, testified regarding his &C.
quaintance with the accused men and
the reports he had made. He had re-
ceived money from Hyde and had OBJ.
tanned land through the land office
which he had sold to Hyde. Special
Agent Burns then testified concerning
lettres written by Hyde to Allen advis-
ing him how to make reports on land.
Miss Marian Doyle, formerly F. A.
Hyde's cashier, corroborated some of
the testimony previously given by Mrs.
Belle Curtin as to the manner in which
the land business of Hyde's office was
conducted.
William E. Walk, formerly the chief
examiner in the lieu land division of
the general land Office, told that he
was corruptly paid large sum to ex.
pedite the Hyde Benson selections of
lieu lands. This sum was paid him
solely for advancing thee asses out of
their order, and not for approving
cases that were defective on their face.
Walk s testimony involved both Hyde
and Dimond, but bore most severely on
John A. Benson, whom he charged
with the making of the payments in
the interests of the two alleged part
uers in the lieu land business.

Seattle, April DEMONSTRATION of

on the authority of William Wayne
Belvin, of Boston, who represents the

old residents of Seattle, as he lived
here from 1878 to 1884, engaged as the
confidential representative of Henry
Willard.
Considerable terminal work has al
ready been done upnon the Port An.
geles & Eastern, and the grade is com.
pleted for number of miles out of the

The building Of the line will be unde,

ground a large part Of the summer.
Part of the material is already at Port

dent Of several railroads, among them
the Saan Francisco & Eastern, which
was graded 100 miles into the San Joa.
quin valley before it was sold to the
Southern Pacific. As the confidential
agent of Henry Willard half dozen
years preceding the construction of the
Northern Pacific to the Sound, he was
actively connected with the building
of that line, and with other projects
with which Mr.. Willard was identified
