Bio Deal At Boise.

BOISE, Idaho, May 1O-What is
probably the largest real estate deal
that has been closed in Boise valley
for a number Of years will be consum-
mated today. It is not the largest in
the point of acreage, but is the largest
in the amount of money being paid for
the land. The deal Is for the Ellis
tract, which adpoins the city on the
northwest and is being purchased by
W. E. Pierce & Co. and associates from
George D. Ellis. president of the Cap
ital State bank, for 1925, 600.

Schwabacher Co.


OF course, the inference is easily
made that in taking this position Mr..
Aldrich is rejecting Standard OIL. for
that company would be the heaviest
sufferer IL the farmers were permitted
to use a cheap substitute for kerosene
and gasolene. Each reader of this
newspaper is in a position to make up
his own mind as to Mr.. Aldrichs
probable motives.
1t is believed that Mr. Aldrich will
not even provide for the appointment
Of a special committee to have hear
ings unless pressure is brought to
bear.
The middle west has four members
of the senate finance committee, ALI
son, Burrows, Hansbrough and Spoon
tr, and one way of getting action will
be to have constituents of these men
pour letters, kilograms and petitions
in upon them in an unending stream.
In this way the committee may be put
to work earlier than otherwise would
be probable.
Bailey Impatient for Battle.
Senator Bailey is one Of the minority
members of the committee, and has
stated with emphasis that the COM
mittee will report the free alcohol bill,
even II dynamite and strongarm meth
DDS have to be resorted to. He pledges
the minority members. himself. Daniel,
Money. Teller and German, to a de-
termined fight. There is possibility
that there will be enough republicans
on the committee, Joined with the DEM
ocrats, to make a majority report in
favor of the bill, and that is the only
bright spot in the picture at the pres
ent moment.
Representative Marshall, Of North
Dakota, who is one Of the special
champions Of free alcohol, is greatly
discouraged over the prospect, and in
formed a correspondent today that It
could hardly be more unfavorable than
it now is. He ascribes the whole
difficulty to Senator Aldrich's unfriend-
Illness.
Dsmoeraey's Opportunity.
The Washington Times says editor
tally in last evenings paper on the
question: 1T will be no violation of
confidence to say thus publicly that
democrats in congress are holding their
breath for fear something may scare
Senator Aldrich out of his plans for
killing the denaturalized alcohol bill
The Rhode Islander is framing
splendid chapter for the democratic
campaign book. but it can't be writ
ten till events shall have made certain
that the alcohol bill is to be killed or
amended into a nullity. This alcohol
bill is going to be a mighty big thing
If it is killed"

Outlook For Passage Of Bill Very
Poor.
ALDR|cH AND THE FARMERS
SENATOR CLAIMS NOTHING CAN
BE DONE AT THIS SESSION
OF CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May TO-
The outlook for free alcohol legisla-
ton at this session Of congress is very
Door. and it will not be successful at
any session, as matters are now pre-
senting themselves, without a stin
fight.
Senator Aldrich, chairman Of the
senate finance committee, has spoken
and his words have carried consterna-
ton into the ranks Of the free alcohol
people in both houses of congress.
Mr.. Aldrich says that the question
of free alcohol is of the highest i'm
portarsce, and that it cannot be deter
mined until there has first been a care
full and searching inquiry. He says 1t
will not be possible to do anything at
this session.
Asked why he takes such a position
he replies that the question must Oe
inquired into at length by subcom-
mittee of the committee on finance
which must have hearings. He thinks
that witnesses must be brought before
this subcommittee, and all the argu-
ments pro and con brought to light
He hints that at some future session
it may be possible to have bill re-
norted from his committee, but that Is
as far as he will go at present.
Aldrich and the Farmers.
He was asked the direct question a.
to whether he was in favor OF tbs
proposed legislation. and his reply was
in the affirmative, but it was not con-
vincing. for coupled with that affirma-
rive reply was the gratuitous state
r,ent that while free alcohol might
he all right for the manufacturers ne
did not see how congress could anoro
r. give this commodity to the farmers
for light, fuel and power.

for two weeks because Of the failure
of the wholesale houses of Portland to

tive test, but when Weighing time
came other more imperative. matters
claimed my attention, But / have al
ways seen enough to absolutely con-
vince me that the combination would
far exceed the single method. With
my knowledge Of the yielding capac-
ity Of my land I am safe in saying
that l make as much corn on the acre
as if there were no cotton in
the alternate two rows, or rs if peas
were there instead Of cotton, and by
reason Of the cotton bearing so much
later than where all the land is cot
top. am equally safe in saying that
[ make more than a half crop of cot
ton, or more than half as much as
the same land would make if it were
all in cotton. Of course during a pro-
tracted drought, everything seems to
suffer-. Corn willis and cotton sheds,
but have. never been able to detect
that my crop suffers more than my
neighbors' who have their two crops
separated, while it is a fact that all
have observed the past winter that my
cotton bore longer than any in this
section and made more top crop.
Another fact was apparent-that I
had no caterpillars while my neigh
bors' fields divided from mine by
hedgerow had plenty of worms.
I am unable to offer any solution of
that, but as the same was the case
with a field near Williston planted by
my system, there would seem to be
something more than coincidence in
the phenomena.
At one time last summer, in Au-
gust, my cotton suffered so much
from drought that I began to fear
that it was being prejudiced unduly
by the proximity Of the corn, al
though the corn" blades were then too
ripe to pull for fodder if I had been
going to strip them, yet when the
rain came more fruit formed and ma
tured, and when the crop was all pick
cd the yield showed that the land had
produced all that I had any reason
to expect from it; I shall plant some
sections with a view of making the
test this season and hope to be able
to complete it at harvesting.
Very truly yours,

Of corn and two rows Of cotton, al
|, ,ternating On this plan with, solid
crops Of each cotton and corn, Wc
made less> crops Of each-.by actual
measurements and weight--under the
.Aldrich system than where solid crops
Of each cotton and corn wero planted;
excepting i'll one test where we. used
400 pounds crushed cotton seed per
acre. The gain in this instance was
II 1-2 bushels of corn and 1850
pounds Of stalks per acre in favor of
the Aldrich system. .., ,5H'
In consideration of the fact that a
large number of practical farmers
have endorsed the Aldrich system, al
though they have done so without
putting the test by actual weights
and measurements, we are of. the
opinion that there must be some ;ad-
vantage in the system where early
field varieties of corn is used along
with late maturing varieties Of cotton.
Thus by planting the corn as early as
possible we may remove the corn off
the land in time to give the cotton
more sunlight and the use of all the
land, which may be very beneficial to
late maturing variety of cotton
that has been left rather thin on the
land. In the foregoing test cotton and
corn were planted the same day.

Isis Worship in Paris.
London Globe.

lJOllNoiI SIODC.
In Paris, the natural home Of skep-
ticism, extremes are meeting in a
most amazing contrast One of"the
most striking features Of the intel
lectual and moral life of the French
capital is the extraordinary number
Of mystical faiths which flourish there
today. A book was lately published
in Paris as strange III its way as the
old Glasgow Prof. Sinclair's asa
tan''s Invisible World Displayed" a
title which might with equal proprie-
ty have served for the French volume.
It deals with what the author, Jules
Bois, calls the "Petities Religion"
Of Paris. OF such cults he enumeratee
no fewer than twelve sects, the names
Of which may be given without com
nient-the Satanic, the Luciferian;
the Humanitarian, the Essene, the
Gnostic, the Magic, the illuminate,
the Thesophical, the Buddhist, the
Pagan, the Swedenborgian and that
of Isis. .
From this strange medley of old
and new paganism writer in the
Scotsman selects for detailed descrip-
ton the worship Of Isis, the great and
typical divinity Of ancient Egypt, as
it is practiccd today in modern Paris.
The first proceeded from that cxtraor-
dinary idealist and poet, August VIII
liers dc I'lslc Adam, whose eccentric
offer to undertake tho kingdom of
Greece was one Of the minor ,embar-
rassments of the Emepror Napolcan
III. More than thirty years ago this
marvellous. geDtleman declared that
Isis, inasmuch rs she was the image
of chastity and beauty, deser''cd an
ideal temple. "I should like men
to adore III her the idoalI of Ii ~ md
death.' The idea was taken up by
his admireps. Chapels Of Isis were
built on the slope of Montmarte,
wherein the ancient wogsip Of Sc
rapis, as described by Apuleius in his
"Golden Ass,' has been reestablished
isis is now. III fact, worshippcd as a
goddess and her claims to deifcation
have been seriously advocated by so
eminent 'a.persQnagc as Augustus
Thierry:y In the prayers of her wor-
shippers Isis is. hailed as "Mother
divine" rs the, angel who announced
the approaching birth of Jeshs, and
in phrases somewhat blasphcmous is
set above the Virgin Mary as chest
and most beautiful - There is a Sc
rious; earnestness in the whole affair
! though we scoffers and $3outsiders may
be unable to suppress our smiles, and
the power, Of the high priests of Isis
over her Votaries is a real and terri

prototypes 2. z"' q.

MIR. j. e. Stribling, PendletOn, S. c..
Dear Sir: Complying with your re-
quest concerning the results obtained
by the South Carolina experiment sta
ton, III our 1905 test of the Aldrich
system, I will give the following:
Two rows each cotton and corn,
yield 646.4 pounds seed cotton per
acre; 1880 pounds of ear corn per
acre. Equal area as above all in cot
ton, 1902 of seed cotton per acre;
all corn, $500 pounds ear corn.
You will see that the half corn and
half cotton failed by about 300
pounds per acre of seed cotton to
make half as much rs the all cotton
acre. The Aldrich acre corn yield
was little bit more than one-half
the acre yield from the all corn plot.
But the difference is so slight as to
scarcely be worthy Of consideration.
The variety Of corn used in this test
was the Marlborough prolific and the
variety Of cotton was Toole's. The
fertilizer contained IL per cent Of
phosphoric acid; Ga per cent Of pot
ash; and 33 per cent of nitrogen, 400
pounds being applied to the acre. The
cotton and corn were planted at the
same time. I am confident that this
should not be the case, since the corn
will usually in our climate produce
better when planted early, and if the
corn planting is delayed until the cot
ton is planted the corn will 60 in the
ground from three to five weeks later
than would probably be better for Sc
curing the best yield of corn. A small
stalk, early corn should be grown,
that it may come off lin time to give
all the soil area to the cotton whom
the cotton needs moisture anl plant
food more than at any otRerstimc.
wish to impress upon you that this
is a one year S test and is by'no means
conclusive. The results. could easily
have been reversed by using different
varieties of either cotton OF, corn Of
BY having different growing Season
for the production Of these crops. !.
1t is the intention Of the station ;tt
continue these tests in duplicate fol
a number Of years and in slight vari
alton from tho plan herein reported
Accompanying this test was an
other in which four rows OF cotton
and four rows of corn were used. But
this plan gave inferior results to the
two-row system. Where those tests
were made in 1905, in 1906 we Wvill
pursue the samo plah alternating cot
ton with corn in one case; in another,
cotton will follow cotton; and in still
another, corn will follow corn s li
We hope to also in the all corn plots
and in one Of the duplicates of tho
AlA.ldrichf system plot to have cowpeas
take the place Of corn when the corn
