Lyon had the cooperation or more
than 100 practical farmers in different
parts of Nebraska. The state was di-
vided for purposes of the experiments
into six districts, and each farmer
was given seed with which to plant
one-fourth acre. For the western two
thirds of the state Leaning was found
To be the best of the yellow varieties.
For more of the region Hogue's Yellow
Dent was too late maturing, although
yielding best Calico yielded well and
ripened in nearly every test, and is
believed to be the best for the sec
ton
In eastern Nebraska south of the
Platte Calico again proved to be a
very productive variety but Reds
Yellow Dent and Hogue's Yellow Dent,
OF the yellow varieties, and Nebraska
White Prize and Silver Mine of the
white, in the Missouri river tier OF
counties, made the best showing. A
little farther west Golden Row and
Mammoth White Pearl did better than
Reds Yellow Dent and Nebraska
White Prize. In eastern Nebraska,
north of the Platte, Golden Cap and
Silver Mine did best in the river coun-
ties, while Golden Row and Nebraska
White Prize were most productive
farther west.

SORGHUM FOR FORAGE

Sorghum ranks among the best for
age crops for many reasons. First,
it is one of the surest crops that is
raised in the territory west of the Mis-
souri, river for distance of at least
two hundred miles. If the seed be
good this crop is never known to fail.
1t resists drought better than corn
and will make a good yield upon poor
err land
A few acres sowed TO sorghum. SOW
ing about two bushels of seed to the
acre, will return yield of from six
to ten tons of dry forage. While it
is not recommended us the best feed
for mich cows, it is most excellent
feed for dry stock and horses They
will eat it all up clean even though it
be not perfectly cured. 1t should be
cut when the seed is Just growing into
milk The seed should not be per
mitted to ripen on sorghum intended
for forage.
1t is better to cut It with a binder
as in the sheaf it can be easily
handled. Where cut loose and pu
| into the stack it is extremely Difficult
to handle with hay fork on accoun
of the length of the stems. White
forage enough for large herd of cat
tie can be raised on very few acre.

ALFALFA VERSUS CLOVER

l. Is alfalfa as forage crop likely
to be generally grown? Sure. In five
years there will be ten acres of alfalfa
to one of timothy and clover.
g Are the profits from alfalfa any
greater per acre than derived from red
clover when given the same treatmen?
Yes, four hundred fold. If you get
one crop of hay and a crop of seed
from clover thatis the end of it. When
you get stand of alfalfa it will last
a lifetime Glover dies out in two
years. A ton of alfalfa hay is worth
two tons of clover. An acre of alfalfa
will yield twice as much as an acre
of clover Alfalfa as. a fertilizer OF
the soil is worth twice. as much as
clover. Try five or ten acres for your
hogs, horses, cattle and chickens and
you will never plant another seed Of
clover, and timothy will be banisheG
| forever as a soil robber and a weed
3. Is alfalfa hay damaged by rair
and dew when curing as easily as rec
clover? No. Glover is one Of tht
hardest and most treacherous crops tx
handle that a farmer ever grew. i
| draws water in the stack or NOW Xix,

| hay crops to handle that grows. /

TIPS ON CORN GROWING

Corn growers of Nebraska and adj
jacent states will find in the bulletin
on Experiments with Corn" just is
sued by Professor Il. l.. Lyon of the
Nebraska Experiment Station, many
facts about the methods best adapted
to producing the biggest yields in
their localities. Farmers who send
for one of these bulletins and com
pare with their own the experience of
the station corn-growers will profit.
Farm papers having in mind the
welfare of subscribers rather than
the income of advertising columns fire.
quently point out why it is better for
the corn grower to pick out a dealer
in seed corn near home and buy seed
Of him, than to send to other locali-
ties for IL. In this bulletin Professor
Lyon shows how it is money in the
pocket of Nebraska farmers to use
only seed corn home grown. A
change of soil and climate impairs the
yield Seed of two varieties Snow
flake White and Iowa Gold Mine were
yobtained from Iowa and grown in Ne
braska for two years In the third
year seed was taken from this and
planted alongside of seed obtained
from the same original source in Iowa.
The two plants exhibited marked
difference throughout the experiment
From the Nebraska grown seed the
stalks were almost foot shorter, the
ear S.S inches lower down, the ear al
most two inches shorter and the
an average of IL shorter. The pro
portion Of ears to stalk was higher
in the acclimatod corn and the yield
of grain was in favor of the home
grown seed.
Similar results were obtained from
tests of twenty-five varieties by loo
cooperating favIne, 5 in various parts
of the state. Nebraska seed was
planted alongside of seed from Iowa
Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. In no
a single instance did the seed grown
outside the state take first in the
average results in the state. This
does not indicate that the seed from
outside was poorer than our own, bu
that it is not at first adapted, or ac
climatized, to Nebraska conditions.

sow ONLY PLuMPEsT GRAINS


the farmers in the southern part OF
our territory will begin to think seri-
ousIy of sowing their spring grains
AS the sun rises in the horizon and
shines with more direct ray farmers
in the more northern belt will take
up this subject. We therefore think
it is timely for lis just now to urge
the importance of sowing only the
largest and plumpesr grains OF wheat.
The use of a good tanning mill or
grader will enable the farmer TO
winnow out all the light grains, screen
out all the small grains, and select
for seed the largest, hsavicst, and
plumpest. He should SOW nothing else
for seed Our small grains wheat,
oats. and barley-"run out to use
a common expression, mainly because
OF the carelessness OF farmers In Sc
lecting their seed. Some farmers are
foolish enough to SOW only that which
they cannot SELL For example, we
have known seed potatoes to sell
! cheaper than potatoes for table use,
THE obvious reason being that the far
mers sell the potatoes that are most
salable and keep the rest for seed.
Why SOW the largest and llumpest
grains? Because these grew ON the
thriftiest stalks, and hence may have
and ordinarily do have an inheritance
of vitality which the smaller grains
do not, and this inheritance is one OF
the most valuable qualities of any
kind of seed grain. Second, because
they are presumably more rust-proOf
and more smut-proof than the smaller
and lighter grains.
Our wheat growers In Minnesota,
| the Dakotas, and Canada found last
year that even when the bulk OF their
wheat was badly rusted there were
/ always some plants which were rust
resistant For this reason we advise
them not TO purchase seed from out
side the rust territory, but to use
their graders and select the largest
and plumpest seeds OF their own grow
ing, thus securing rust-resistant
plant, precisely on the same principle
that the wise potato grower carefully
goes through his field and selects for
seed potatoes the tubers from hills
which show no signs of fungus. These
are fungus-resistant and doub1y val
liable
In all climates and with all plants
; there are some individuals that, fol
reasons as yet unknown, have de
veloped great power of resistance tt
! the various enemies of the plant, par
!. ticularly smuts, rusts, and fungus
These plants have high vitality, brins
their seed to full masurity, and these
seeds can be secured by the use O
the grader. This is the method rec

SWEPT INTO THE RIVER
TWO MORE LIVES LOST IN THE
EAST RIVER TUNNEL.

NEW YORK, June 2o.-Two men lost their
lives, another was fatally injured and six
more were severely hurt as a result of
an accident in the Pennsylvania tunne.
between 34th Street, this city, and Long
Island City today. Twenty-four of the
thirty-ive men who were at work in the
tunnel at the time of the accident escaped
without serious injury after having faced
death by drowning.
The accident was caused by the tremen
dous air pressure necessary at the head
of the tunnel to hold back the soft mud
into which the shield is forced. The mud
under this shield was blown out and two
of the workmen who were caught In the
flow of air were swept TO death in the river.
When the heading was emptied of air, VIZ
ter rushed In through the opening and
threatened to drown the survivors In the
struggle which followed between the work
men to escape from the chamber through
the little door which connects with the fin
ished part of the tunnel several of them
were severely hurt Finally, however, the
cooler heads among the men prevailed and
all of the survivors, either by their own
efforts or the assistance of others found
safety in the completed tunnel. So rap
idly did the water flow into the unfinished
compartment that before the last man s
turn came to pass through the little door
he was standing neck deep in the water

RUSHED BY PULAJANES
TOWN IN LEYTE ATTACKED AND
FIVE POLICEMEN KILLED.

MANILA, June 20.-A band of 800 Pula-
james, under Ceasario Pastor. attacked the
town of Burauei, on the island of Leyte
yesterday June 10. They killed five police
men, wounded five and captured the re-
mainder of the force except the lieutenant
who was in command. Pastor, the Pula-
jane leader, was killed during the en-
counter.
The attack occurred at an early hour In
the morning. The police were caught un
awares, and their sentinel was rushed from
his post The bandits then entered the tri-
bunal and hand-to-hand fight took place
The police fought desperately, but were
overcome by superior numbers.
The loss of the Pulajanes is believed to
have been great, but 1t cannot be esti-
mated, as they carried of their dead and
wounded after the fight.
The municipal records were taken from
the tribunal, piled in the street and burned.
The destruction of these papers was one of
the most serious phases of the raid. they
safe containing the town funds was not
disturbed. The bandits carried away the
arms of the police and a quantity of ammu-
ysatlon.
A detachment of constabulary under
Lieut. Johnson immediately started in pur-
suit Of the Pulajanes.
AT the time the raid was made Provincial
Governor Veyra was in another part OF the
island securing evidence wanted by the par
don commission to obtain the release or
prisoners in the Biiibid penitentiary.

the appropriations committee. The sundry
civil bill carried an item appropriating
$4,000 for the travelling expenses of the
President, which went out on point of or
der. Mr.. Watson of Indiana, then In the
chair and who sustained the point of order
against the item. introduced the bill which
the House had under consideration today
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) demanded sec
ond, which was ordered and debate OF
forty minutes ensued.
Mr. Tawney stated that the whole subject
of providing for the Presidents travelling
expenses had been debated at length during
the consideration of the sundry civil bill
Mr.. Underwood asked If the appropria-
ton was for the present President or for
future PRESENTS.
To this Mr.. Tawney replied that the aim
was TO make II permanent law, and that
with the passage Of this bill the point of or
der against an appropriation carried by the
sundry civil bill would not lie.
Mr.. James of Kentucky wanted to know
what official duty carried the President
abroad. Isn't it true that there is no official
duty requiring him TO leave the capitalf"
he asked.
Mr.. Tawney said that while he could not
recall any official duty just at present that
might take him outside the capital he could
easily conceive how, commander-in-chief
of the army and navy he might be called
upon at any moment to travel.
The bill was then passed by the House
