BaSket-WiIIoW Growing
INDUSTRY BEING FOSTERED BY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
az ELLlOTT MIT cHELL

Secretary Wilson's statement that
there are no bad acres in the United
States is again brought to light
through the efforts of the Department
Of Agriculture to induce more general
attention to the culture of the basket
willow. There are very many farms
in this country which contain some
low land, and through which runs a
small stream. This portion of the
farm is too often allowed to run
TO waste. dense growths Of weeds and
scrub prospecting in the rich, moist
soil, and the locality rarely visited by
the farmer except when in search Of
some stray cattle which have come
down to the brook for a drink.
Although introduced in this country
as early as 1910, willow growing in
America occurs only in restricted To-
calities throughout a relatively small
portion of the country On account
Of the isolation of these groups of
growers with little or no connection,
and because the growers are not in
touch with basket makers, there has
been little chance for improvement. ]

Uncle Sans conscience Fund.

The conscience fund of the Treas

by the United States government in
1911. 1t would not be fair to infer
from this fact that the American con-
science had its awakening at so late d
date in the country's history, but that
year witnessed the first return to the
government, as the result of the ''still,

been defrauded some time before.

one morning an unsigned letter in

his conscience had pIsde him suffer

the request that it be turned into the
National Treasury, the writer express
ing the hope that this full restitution
and repentance would restore a clear

have since been received varying in
amounts from a 2-cent postage stamp

Biz Crops This Year.

Secretary Wilson has returned to
Washington from tour of the North
west where he was shown some
great crop yields. He expresses it as
his belief that the farmers have more
money now than/ever was theirs be-
fore, and that with such full treasure
chests there is no danger of an indus
trial panic. The years crop OF
wheat, corn and oats will be larger,
according to Mr.. Wilson's experienced
judgment, than were the big crops OF
last year He says that the area capa-
BILE of raising durum or macaroni
wheat is now pushing well into the
desert region. The yield of this
wheat alone this year, 1T is believed,
will exceed 20,000,000 bushels,
wheat, by the way, which grows
where other wheat will not grow and
which six years ago was an unknown
thing among American growers.

THE FLOOD OF NOAH.
Geology Proves the Foundation OF

the Biblical Account.
There are Biblical doubters who scoff
at the idea that there ever was a great
food, yet the testimony of the geOlo-
gists, to say nothing Of Ignatius Don
nelly's theory of the submerged CONT
nent Of Atlantas, proves that at one
time the entire earth's surface was
covered with water. Professor Wright
of Oberlin, who has made geology a
life study, brings us new light upon the
subject. In writing on the subject of
the Contributions of Geology to the
Creditability of the Flood" he states
that the level of the land changes con-
stantly. The highest mountains were
once below the sea-level, as is proven
by the finding of sea-shells on the sum-
mits Of the highest peaks. All Of Cen
trail Asia was once covered by water
and is now drying up. In fact the dry
ing out process has been going on for
thousands of years. The Turkestan and
Siberian low-lAnds were once sub
merged, while evidence is shown that
the Desert of Cobb was once body
of water equal to the Mediterranean in
size and depth.
The valley of the Jordan in ages back
was covered with water to a depth of
from 1000 to 1,400 feet, while changes
of level and climate in Asia seem to
prove that the Deluge once passed ever
the entire country.

effect of impure foods on in
valids. People who are under the
care of a physician, and are COM
PEELED to eat prepared foods should
know at least what they are getting.
If the foods which they buy as pure
are found upon analysis to contain
which have proven harm
full to them, they should have some
recourse at law to punish the maker
of this fraudulent food. A simple in
stance is sufficient to illustrate the
point. There is at this time a great
demand for gluten flours. They are
for certain diseases,
and there are various preparations on
the market which are sold at high
prices. Many of the so-called gluten
flours contain but a small percentage
of pure gluten; they are filed with
chalk and starchy substances, and are
not at all what is claimed for them.

lows are planted from inches to a
foot apart in rows 2h feet to yard
distant from one another, thus allow
ing from about $4,000 to $4,000 to the
acre. This method of wide planting
is followed for several reasons, 1t of
course being cheaper to plant fewer
cuttings, and the cost of cultivation
being reduced, the wide rows allowing
for the use of plow. 1t is also I'M
derstood and held by the higher
authorities that the more shoots from
a stool or stump, the greater the yield.
Where the cuttings have been planted
on meadow or corn land, the first year
the rows are hoed two or three times,
and later run through with a Tight
pillow. In later years only the pillow is
used. On bottomland, however, they
are only cultivated once, and there
fore only grassed with sickle.
To Produce Straight Rods.
The Department Of Agriculture has
found that though there may be OBJ
lection to close planting on account of
increased cost and greater amount
OF cultivation necessary, both a
heavier yield and longer, more even
sized aud better rods are obtained
straighter, less branchy and less Ia
pering. While yield Of four toni
Of green rods per acre may be OBJ
tained in twelve years where the hollis
are planted in rows three feet apart,
with n distance OF one foot between
hollis, over six tons are obtained from
an acre planted 29x9 inches, in only
ten years. The Department also adj
vises that the cuttings should be not
less than twelve inches in length, and
planted with the buds pointing up
ward, and that when placed In the
ground each cutting shonld be per-
fectly perpendicular. When willows
are planted close together all weeds
and grass, the foes of the willow,
should be kept out.
Osiers should be cut the first year,
even IL no valuable material can be
obtained, for II this is delayed until
the second year, there is apt to be a
tendency to branch, so that less valu-
able material can be cut. This cut
ting should be done during the winter
from November to March 1. and as
near the ground as possible. The

his father would reap, he had Ialleu
10 notice the rapidity of the growth OF
the stalk which he had ascendeo. AS
nuickly as he stepped down, SO much
more rapidly the stalk seemed TO grow
and he was no nearer the bottom tnah
when he started.
His father. noting the absence or
his son, saw that 1t would be useless
for him to hunt through the jungle or
waving corn, so he climbed to the top
of his windmill and his anxious eyes
beheld his boy waving his red bandana
in despair. Hastily summoning his
neighbor and his other two sturdy
sons, they proceeded with axes to
chop down the wicked stalk Their
axes, however, failed to find the same
mark twice, so rapidly did the stalk
shoot upward. Night came ON with
out their accomplishing anything and
the boy was left to what appeared to
be terrible fate. Like most Kansas
boys, however, he was awake to all
his opportunities, and existed for a
long time on the raw corn, having con-
sumed so much that he later notified
his parents by means of a message
written on one of the dried corn leaves
that he was getting so fat there was
danger of the stalk breaking with his
weight He wrote that he believed a
more balanced ration would relieve
his fears, suggesting the planting of
beans at the base of the cornstalk as
an expedient.
However, before the beans could Sc
cure enough growth, the drought
came on and stopped the growth of
the stalk and the boy was enabled
to climb down, thus saving his life
As mementos of the occasion, the lad

with a view of relieving him Of por-
ton of his official burdens that the
President suggested the ACCESSIBILITY
of the transfer of the Panama Canal
work to the State Department.
Secretary Roots acceptance of the
trust would enable Secretary Taft to
devote more of his time to the con-
sideration of important questions af-
fecting the government of the Philip
pines and the business of the army
generally. 1t is known that Secretary
Taft has no personal ambitions in
connection with the Panama canal
work, and is entirely willing, as a
matter of general expediency, that its
supervision should be transferred to
Secretary Root as the head of the
State Department.
Secretary Root, however, with all
his ability for hard work, is under
stood to have no hankering after the
canal job.

GIANT KANSAS CORN.
Exciting Experiences of Boy Lost In
Field of Growing Grain.

A report which seems to have come
from the Portland Exposition states
that a great object Of curiosity there
is a corn stalk of mammoth size reach
ing almost up to the very roof OF the
agricultural building. The history OF
fine stalk is perhaps as marvellous as
the object itself.
1t appears that prior to the last
hot wave which swept over the coun-
try, a farmer in Kansas sent his fif-
teen-year-old son out to take a look
over the corn field and notify him of
the prospects. In order to do this the
son went to the implement shed which
this wise farmer had provided and
procured ladder with which he
climbed one of the cornstalks. After
surveying a fine growth of corn for
miles around, the boy started to climb
down, but in his excitement at the
prospects of the golden harvest which

Willows Grow on Corn Land.
The general idea is that willows
will grow only on very swampy
ground, but experience shows that all
serious attempts made on we'll
drained soil, even though of poor quail
ity have been successful. The ground
is prepared just the same as 1t would
be for corn or wheat. Willow plant
ing generally is done in the autumn;
should be in rows, the sets or cut
tings, according to older methods be-
ing placed about ten inches in length
and planted in the ground until about
only an inch and a half protrudes
above the ground. Almost without
