Committee, Report Adopted.


W1NoNA LAKE, Ind, May "a special
committee which for the past three Gays
had been canvassing the subject OF union
with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
made it's report to the Presbyterian General
Assembly this morning. 1t was UNANIMOUS
in favor of union and was adopted as SUBJ
mitted.
The committee showed that IA pres

mittee on cooperation and union, 70 Do N
creased to twenty-one members, 70 CONFER

1t is believed that to-day's action insures
union Of the two bodies.
The report from the board OF missioners
for freemen brought on lively discussion.
in which there was considerable talk aoout
criminaGty among freemen, and several
colored ministers came to the defense OF
their race. Justice Harlan OF the United
States Supreme Court declared that In
proportion to their number there is not
more crime among negroes than among
whites and hoped there would be no utter
ances regarding criminallty, OF negroes
in the reports OF the assembly. The re-
port was purged Of all reference to crimes
among negroes and was then adopted.
Many OF the commissioners who have
been informed OF the form OF service pro-
posed by the Rev. DR.. Henry van Dyke are
preparing to give it a warm reception when
1t comes before the assembly. They are
opposed to anything that savors OF ritu-
aiism, and DR.. van Dykes new form OF ser
vice is regarded as nothing less than a
Presbyterian prayer book.

views about salary that the freedmen

INTERESTING TEST.
Experiments to Prove Relative Value
of Deep and Shallow Guilt
walton for Grains.

Experiments in deep and shallow cul-
tivation have been conducted by num-
Der of experiment stations of the coun-
try. The Ohio station has completed a
nine-year series OF such experiments
and reports as followsS
For deep cultivation the double shov-
ell has been used, working the ground
to depth of four ipi ches or a little
more. For shallow working a swing
tooth cultivator has been used and the
ground is stirre99 to depth of an inch
and half.
Taking EACH years test by itself
with singleN exception, shallow culti-
walton has gi;Jen larger yield of grain,
regardless of RxeatFef conditions. One
season, it is tSue, the increase is of lit
tie moment with the exception of one
season the yN ED of slower is larger
from the shallosW cultivation.
Taking the average for the nine sea-
sons worl-asss gsA1tiyatien leads in
grain by exactly four bushels per acre,
and in slower by over 200 pounds per
acre. This matter of deep and shall
low cultivatiod would seem to be pretty
we'll settled"
The work stt the other stations has
quite generally produced similar re-
suits.
