 This surrender. however. if 1t has been made. is only partial, in that MT. Grammer. 1t Is expected, will pursue the Fish policy sufficiently close to prevent any of the trubles which Mir. Fish apparently fears might follow the delivery of the road into Hartman control.
 The final act of the Illinois Central drama Is said to have been played at a conference held in Newark last Mon- day after MT, Fish and the attorneys mad hurried back from the annual meet ing held in Chicago.

EXPERIMENTS WITH OATS.
Pres. Bulletin No. p, Alabama Exper'

 Bulletin No. 137 of the. Alabama Ex- ner,ment station Is now October IS. 1eo6). being mailed to all addresses on our mailing list as rapidly as the postal authorities can handle the pul- ietins and future bulletins will be sent to any new addresses on appllca- l. ton. A brief summary of this bull letin follows
 Oats may be made a much more prof. itable corp in Alabama than at present if farmers will make the two changes in the usul method of caring for the crop. CD Sowing in the early or mid de fall; CD Applying nitrate Of soda as a top dressing in March, or sowing on land where soil-improving crop like COW peas has recently grown.
 In tests of varieties extending over number of years there was little direrence in the yield of Red Rust Proof, Appler and Culberson when sown in the fall. These three varieties are practically identical. When sown after Christmas the Burt or May oats av- eraged per cent less grain than did the Red Rust Proof variety.
 Turf or Grazing Oats sown in No vember afforded only 59 per cent. as much grain as Red Rust Proof. oats sown at the sam etime. The order of ripening in the fall was Burt, Red Rust Proof. and Turf.
 Red Rust Proof oats may be dlstin- eujshed from other varieties by the long boards. by the brownish yellow color and plumpness of the grain. and by the greater length of the tiny hairs or bristles located at the base of the lower grain.
 Red Rust Proof and related varie- ties or strains constitute the best gen. eral purpose type of oats for this re- zion, being suitable for either fall or Sebruary sowing. and having stiffer straw and greater rust-resistance than any other variety tested
 Winter killing of oats may be greatly reduced in Central Alabama by using one or more of the following methods G) Sowing in deep drills. -.-s 9- t2l Sowing in October. (3) Sowing with grain drill. (4 Use of a roller after the plants have been heaved and their roots ex- posed. .:.

LANGDON WINS OUT
RECOGNIZED AS THE ONLY DlS-
 TRICT ATTORNEY.
Judge Graham Would Not Hear Argu- ments From Abraham Ruefs COunsel and Grand Jury
 Will Begin Probing.

San Francisco Oct. 29.-Unattend- ed by excitement or disorder such as marked the proceedings of last Friday, the session of court held today was nevertheless of equal importance.
 Superior Judge Graham was on the bench scarcely five minutes. yet the time suficed for the recognition of W. H. Langdon as district attorney in the case and his announcement of a decision which will authorize Fran els J, Henney to. proceed with the cx- animation of the members of the grand jury to determine their quali- fications to serve.
 S M Shortridegc, as attorney for Abraham Ruef. was refused permis- sion to address the court, supposedly in objection to the ruling. Mir. short ridge was advised that he might sub District Attorney Langdon and Assis- tant Henney will begin the examina- tion of the grand jury.
 The brief character of the proceed ings surprised and bewildered many of those in the court room who had expected a long argument before the decision was rendered. The fact that District Attorney Langdon had been recognized by Judge raham was not generally known until the police be- gan to clear the court room.
 To an Associated Press representa- tive. after the sitting, Assistant Dis tricvt Attorney Henney said: "It must still be determined whether or not we have the right to examine members of the grand jury for bias or prejudice. But Judge Graham did right-perfect- ly right"

northern part of the cotton belt.
 The average of seven experiments made in seven different years shows that Red Oats sown in November Sver- aged 11.s bushels per acre more than when sown in February. This Is a profit of $5. .65 per acre. or an increase of. 73 per cent. as the result of sowing in the fall. October is advised for fall sowing, and the first few days in Feb- ruary for spring sowing in this lafi- tude.
 Oats sown in reep furrows. about two feet apart, yielded more than broadcast sowing. Planting in deep furrows only partially refiled is rec commended only for well-drained soils.
 Smut of oats can be entirely prevent ed by moistening the seed in a mixture of one ounce of formaIin and three gallons of water.
 Nitrogenous fertilizers have been much more profitable than phosphate or potash on thef sandy and loamy soils on such soils at least 100 pounds Of acid phosphate be applied at the time of sowing oats.
 Among the various nitrogenous fer tilizers a pound of nitrogen or a dollar investment has been most effective in nitrate of soda, and somewhat more effective in the form of cotton seed meal than of cotton seed. When eith- CT cotton seed or cotton seed meal Is used it should be applied at the time of sowing, but nitrate of soda is most useful when used in March.
 Barnyard manure greatly increased the yield of the crop of oats to which it was applied and exerted some ef- feet on the next crop. In one exper- iment it required 43. 1 pounds of nitrate of sod aand 103 pounds of acid phos- phate Boosting together $1.s3) to afford the same increase as one ton of fine, fresh. unleached horse manure, .,
 In thirteen experiments with nitrate of soda the yield and total profit per acre increased with the amount of nit rate applied up to 200 pounds per, acre. However the smaller applications were more economical. The cost of nitrate of soda required to produce one addi- tional bushel of oats was 14.5 cents fro mthe use of 63 pounds per acre TIT cents when nitrate was applied at the rate of 100 pounds. and 21.1 cents when 200 pounds of nitrate of soda was used per acre. The smallest ap- plication afforded a profit over the cost of the fertilizer of 249 per cent; the use of 100 pounds of nitrate per acre returned a profit of 206 per. cent. on the cost of tn efertilizer. while the heaviest application resulted In net profit of 14O per cent. The three diff ferent amounts of nitrate of soda gave profits per acre of $4.73 for the light application, $6.19 for the 1O0- pound application. and $S.40 for the 200- pound application. Sixty to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda Is recommended to be applied as top dressing on oats in March.
 No nitrogen need be purchased for oats provided the oats be sown after crop of COW peas, velvet beans. pea nuts, or soy beans, all of which crops whether only the stubble or the en- tire growth was plowed under for fer tilizer, afforded an increase in the suc- ceeding oat crop of from 6.2 to 33.6 bushels per acre.

Not Popular in Society

A new anecdote of James Whitcomb Riley Is told in the current Harper's Weekly. MT. Riley, it appears, is ex- tremely averse to social functions He was recently, however, induced to attend literary dinner in Indiana polls, given in honor of a novelist of that city Riley had been told off to take in to dinner ths sister of his host. an excellent woman though anything but literary"
 The conversation touching upon the beauties of Chaucer, about whom a cer- tain set of the city was then cultivating q fad. spirited discussion ensued dur ing which the bewildered sister caught, from time to time. only the name "Chaucer."
 At last she whispered to Riley: 'Wh is this MT. Chaucer they're talking about so much? Is he very popular in society,""
 Madam" solemnly responded Riley, that man did something that forever shuts him out of society,""
 "Heavens"' exclaimed the worthy dame; and what was thatT
 "He died several hundred years ago." said Riley. ......
