TO FIGHT "YELLOW PERIL"
Coalition of the European Powers
Is Proposed.

st. Petersburg, March 27.-There is
much discussion in diplomatic and Off
cial circles over the intimation that
Great Britain, through the new French
entente, is seeking to compose her diff
ferences with Russia. The Novosti,
which has long been the leading eX-
ponent of this idea, to-day editorially
contends that there is no real conflict
of interests, and that nothing but an
ingrained mutual distrust keeps the
two nations apart.
The Novosti proposes European coa-
lition under the auspices of Russia,
France and Great Britain to combat
the yellow danger" and concludes by
urging the Powers to settle the Asiatic
problem once and for all by appor-
tioning territory.
IF they hesitate now" says the ar
ticle, they will have to do so sooner
or later. Another opportunity will not
occur for quarter of a century, but
then they will have to cope with the
united strength of barbarians. with
vast armies trained in war. The old
triple alliance is tottering, and the yell
low peril gives it a death blow. A new
triple alliance becomes a logical neces-
Sity,"

The Georgia Experimental Station
has just issued very instructive bull
letin upon the culture of the fig in
Georgia. 1t comprises thirty pages or
more, and is illustrated with a num-
ber of plates showing the difference
in foliage, and in the size and shape of
the several varieties of fruit generally
grown. There is hardly any fruit
more easily grown than the fig, and it
thrives on most any fair soil that has
the necessary plant food to support the
tree. The fig is a very desirable fruit,
one of these like the banana, able to
support life for quite a period. In
other words ii is a nutritious fruit. 1t
is wholesome for children as we'll as
grown people With sugar and cream
it is specially enjoyable for breakfast.
With the figs that we now have it
seems improba BILE that there win be
any development of the dried fig in
dustry, as the result of a more general
culture of the fruit. The varieties of
figs that we have are not suited for
the purpose, and the climate is not
suitable apparently.
But as it is such a valuable fruit for
the table and as there is constantly
increasing demand for the perfectly
ripe fruit in our markets, there is very
good reason for giving it some atten-
tiGn.
If you are interested send for the
bulletin and find out how easy it is to
grow figs. Send requests direct to Di-
rector R. j. Redding, Experiment, Ga,
who will take pleasure in sending 1t
to any one Interested in the subject.

FULLY SIXTY FEET HIGH
THE ICE Is PILED.

Saginaw, Mich, March H.-There is
no indication tonight of any mitiga-
tion of the flood troubles. and more
serious times are expected with the
first thaw. There has been a slight rise
of the river here to-day despite the
cold. At the mouth of the Flint river
ice is piled sixty feet high. The big
prairie farm at the junction of the
Shiawassee and Flint rivers. sixteen
miles south of here. is from four to
six feet under water. One hundred
thoroughbred cattle have been drowned.
Gilbert Bertram. foreman of the
farm, died to-day from exposure in the
flood.
A large portion of the business dis
trict of Saginaw is flooded and thou
sands of dollars damage has been done.
There has been no communication with
Milwaukee. four miles north, in two
days, and 1900 people there are report

Growing Corn.

A good practical farmer tells us that
he has found in using pure bred Sc
lected seed corn he has increased his
yield twelve to sixteen bushels per
acre. He thinks that the increase has
come largely in having fewer barren
stalks in his fields The use of pure
bred seed has reduced the barren stalks
nearly rs per cent, and thus his corn
bears more ears to the hill by so much
as the barren stalks have been reduc-
ed. The quality of the corn is also
much better he finds since he Began
using pure bred seed, and in this he
has also increased the yield. The
increase of twelve to sixteen bushels
per acre is large enough to pay sew
eral times over for pure seed, and
when once the pure seed is used wholly
on the farm, one can select his seed
corn from his own fields. This is what
our friend is now doing. for he has
been growing corn from pure bred seed
for several years, and goes through
his fields and selects the best and
earliest matured ears in the autumn
season for his own use, as he has
none for sale.

Cleveland O.. March 27.-The pas
torate of Rev. ]. Alfred Fisher of the
Franklin Avenue Congregational
Church was terminated to-day in a
sensational manner Mr.. Fisher, since
coming to the church last November,
has been charged with too liberal
views in his pulpit utterances and he
had been asked to resign. His con-
months longer. The congregation is
willing to pay him for that period if
he resigns Immediately
Mr.. Fisher was to have preached
twice to-day-morning and evening.
The morning services terminated Z in
disorderly scenes when Mr.. Fisher
made a reference to the manner in
which many people regard the Bible.
He declared that it had been made a
fetch. Thereupon Deacon Thomas
Henderson arose in his seat and said
that Mr.. Fisher came to the church
under false pretenses, that he had ac-
cepted the pastorate as a minister of
the gospel. The congregation then
took sides with and against the min
ister, and a number of persons moved
towards the pulpit which Mr.. Fisher
had just left. He was not allowed to
enter again during the morning serv-
ice.
Mr.. Fisher will leave Cleveland
Thursday next and states that he will
never again accept a pastorate and
that he will devote his time to lectur-
ing. Mr.. Fisher came to Cleveland
from the church of the late DR.. Scud-
der of Brooklyn, n. Y, and is widely
known.

must be kept in absolute subsection
from first to last.
The rice, if sown properly, will need
no thinning. Keep the soil crust
broken with harrow or scoop and one
going over with the hoe will be all
that is necessary.
The Carolina upland and the Japan
upland are two varieties commonly
planted. The latter is said to be very
early and very productive.
The straw of upland rice is readily
eaten by stock. 1t is most excellent
forage, much superior to oat and
wheat straw. If treated Alright from
the start, there is no crop more easily
made than upland rice. On every
live at home" farm there should be
some of it grown, even if not more
than a half or quarter of an acre.
The latter area of good land would
supply a large family with all the
rice that it could consume during the
year and have enough, too, left for
seed.

ern farm. Sweet potatoes, upland rice,

April in the Garden.
FARM,

Too late now to plant English peas,
onions. turnips, spinach, caulifower.
But for insects and disease, there
might yet be a reasonable success
with Irish potatoes and cabbage, but
the chances are against them. But
now is the heyday time of plant
ing okra, tomato, eggplant, pepper,
sweet potatoes. garden corn, squashes,
cucumbers, melon. Now is time to set
out collards for winter if you are pre-
pared to fight blight and insect.
For whatever is planted now it is
important that the soil should be in
the highest state of preparation. Do
not if possible plant or set anything
in poorly plowed, cloddy soil. The
truest aphorism of plant growth is "a
crop wen put in is half made" See
that the soil is in finest condition pos
sible-closely plowed and narrowed
until the surface soil is a mellow seed
led. 1t will save labor and trouble
in the end. A crop well put in will
require much less cultivation than
otherwise it would. Plants soon show
whether conditions are just right for
normal growth If they indicate a
need for food this food can yet be
supplied by a mixture of nitrate of
soda and superphosphate top dressed
evenly about the plants, but not too
close. If the plants do not show green
enough cotton seed meal can also be
used with advantage.
The Chinese fertilize the plant ex-
olusively. We fertilize the soil almost
as exclusively. We are learning some
thing about this, however. The two
work together very nicely in intensive
or high farming. We have to learn
as we never did before, how to both
feed and doctor plants as we'll as an
in1alS.
