In the year 1889 PIT bushels of chem
ically dried corn was produced on an
acre of land in South Carolina. This
crop won a prize of $500 from the
State Agricultural society and $500
from the company which furnished the
commercial fertilizer used in its pro-
duction.

Macaroni wheat is growing greatly
in favor all through the semiarid sec
ton of the country. While the millers
are opposed to handling it, as it does
not grind well with modern milling
machinery, it still makes the finest of
bread, hardly distinguishable from the
best made from patent flour.

1t would be a double blessing if the
flood waters of the Missouri river
could be captured and stored for irri-

desert worth 500 per acre and save
millions of dollars loss each year to
the jewellers of the river low lands
from Fort Benton to st. Louis. Some
day this work will be done.

When a man finds himself with a
farm upon which the crops fail in an
ordinarily wet season, it will pay him
well to sell one-half of his land and
use the proceeds to thoroughly under
drain the other half. Three lost crops
will drain the land.

New York Papers Favor Parker.

New York Papers Favor Parker.
For the first time since 1892 the De
mocracy finds large proportion of the
influential New York newspapers COM
ing out in support of the national Dem
ocratic ticket The Journal and Amer
lean, the World and other big ones are
now in line. Says the Washington
Post:
The alignment Of influential New York
newspapers in the presidential campaign
is in marked contrast with four and eight
years ago. In those, two campaigns the
Journal was the only large New York
newspaper chat supported Bryan. Now
all except tire Tribune, long d Republican
organ, and the Press, both Of which have
wide influence up the state, and the Mail
are supporting Parker Possibly excep-
ton should be made in the case of the
Sun, which has not been emphatic on
either side vet. but has for months been
sneering at Roosevelt. The latest acquisi-
ton to the Democrats from these great
New York papers is the Herald, which
contrary to its established policy, has
come out this week in unqualified terms
stating that Judge Parker has won the
confidence IF the people, and that sort of
confidence Mr. Roosevelt has not inspir-
ed. The Herald acknowledges Mr.. Roose-
Welt to be lrreproachable personally. but
declares that conservative people doubt
his capacity for self control, distrust his
Judgment md question his conception of
presidential duties"
Other newspapers in New York city that
opposed Bryan and are now either sup
porting Parker or decidedly friendly to-
ward his candidacy are the Times the
Staats-zeitlng. the World, the Evening
Post and the BROOKLYN Eagle

Judge Parker is redheaded. This will
certainly be of no disadvantage to him
either in seeking the presidential chair
or in holding it down. 1t is a good
omen, for was not the immortal Jeffer-
son redheaded? And if, through that
sympathetic affinity existing among
redheaded men, he should get the votes
of all the redheaded men in the eoan-
try the number of additions to his fol
lowing on that account will be con.
siderable, more doubtless than would
have been needed to carry the election
for the Democrats in 1896, when 26.500
votes. properly distributed, would have
elected Bryan. Here's to the red
headed statesman of Esopus!

Just as soon as the last berries were
gathered the bed was moved off as

bed was then thoroughly worked over

Wireless TeIegraphy for Weather Bureau

The Secretary Of Agriculture has
directed Chief Moore, of the United

addition to reporting all vessels pas

ported
The tests made BY the Weather
Bureau show that with only such
transmitting power as vessels con-
venently can carry it will be possible
easily to keep them in communication
within a range of 200 miles off shore.
This extension of the system affects
both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
and the gulf line. The service /; &c
