DURAND VICTIM OF GOSSIP.
Ambassadors Retirement Laid to
Lady Susan TownIey.

L&tOy OuSAH AONllIeys
Washington, D. Gladly Susan
Townley is the latest woman to cause
a diplomatic upset in the country
which her husband serves. If reports
in the Diplomatic Corps in Washing
ton are true, it is largely because of
her that Sir Mortimer Durand, Brit
ish Ambassador to the United States,
has handed in his letter. of recall to
the President, and is to be succeeded
by the Right Hon. James Bryce.
Lady Susan is the VILE OF Waiter
Beaupre Townley, formerly, coun-
sellor of the British Embassy here,
and at present Minister for England
to Brazil. She is the daughter of the
seventh Earl of Albemarle, whose
family lame is Keppel. and before
her marriage to Mr.. Townley was
Lady Susan Mary Keppol. She comes
from one of the most prominent fam
lilies in England, and her father was
a famous admiral. One of Lady Su-
sans brothers is the present earl.
Lady Susan did not like Washing
ton, and she was unhappy in her So
cial relations with Lady Durand. She
is quoted on n occasion as being
dissatisfied with the fact that she had
to go to dinner behind the "daugh-
ter of a country curate's daughter"
1t is also said Lady Susan rather
freely criticised American officials
and their ways, making comments on
the President, Secretary Taft and
others of the official set, and having
Witticisms at hand in speaking of
official functions. These remarks
have been credited recently to Lady
l-Durand herself, but il is said that
Lady Durand never expressed any
opinions one way Or the other of
Washington Official society.

The origin of the racial troubles here

"a Miss Is AS Good as a Mile"

We have all used the saying. "a
miss is as good as a mile" yet it is
doubtful If any know the origin OF
this pToVer5.
Before the days of the great
Charlenagre, when King Pepin ruled
the Frankish Empire, there dwelt two
friends, Amis and Amile. According
to the story of Turpin, these men
were so strongly attached to each
other that Amile risked his life to
save the life and fortune of Amis, and
later, when Amile was suffering from
leprosy, Amis sacrificed his own
children in order that his friend might
be bathed in their blood and cured.
Thus came that peculiarly true
proverb which will no doubt remain
with us until the end of time. :

these fertilizer ingredients. How
ever, the value of the cow pea fol
feeding purposes is double its value
for fertilizing purposes. If judiciousa
ly fed to animals this hay will have
a feeding value of about $24 per ton.
and if all the excreta is saved and
returned to the soil between 80 and
90 per cent ($10.20 per tom of the
fertilizing value of, the. COW pea hay
will be given back to the land. An
ordinary crop of COW peas may be
made to pay the cost of cultivating
the corn, or probably the cost of the
fertilizer. A good crop should pay
for both.
Compared With Other Yields.
Considerable effort has been made
to gather as much comparative data
as possible so as to have Williamson
plan corn yields that might justly be
compared with yields from the ordi-
nary method. 1t is highly desirable
that as far as possible, and without
prejudicing either, the two crops foc
comparison be grown on the same
character of land and planted at the
same time, and that the treatment
and surroundings of each differ In no
way except as to the peculiar or es-
sential features of difference, exist
ing between the two plans or methods
Reports Of some three dozen farmers
who have this year given the Viii
liamston plan a test have been
brought to the notice of the writer.
Some of these were not considered
definite enough for consideration, but
Uwenty-eight reported either a COM
parison of yields from, crops grown
this year by both plans Or gave yields
secured from the ordinary plan In the
past on the same land. The two low
est yields reported from the ordinary
methods were seven and ten bushels
per acre. The two highest yields re-
ported from the same method were
forty-fve and fifty bushels per acre.
The two lowest yields reported from
the Williamson plan we're twenty
seven and thirty bushels per acre.
The two highest yilds reported from
the same plan were one hundred bush
els per acre. The yield from twenty
eight reporting both the ordinary and
the Williamson plan compared gives
an average of 23.25 bushels per acre
for the former and 56.42 bushels per
acre for the latter. These twenty
eight show a remarkable average diff
ference of 1917 more bushels per
acre in favor of the Williamson plan,
an increase of 1A2 ner cent.
It cannot, however, in justice TO
either method, be said that these COM
parsons indicate the actual differ
ence between the Williamson plan
and the ordinary method. Many of
the reports give the number of bush
els per acre in round numbers, indi-
eating that the yields were estimated
rather than actually determined. In
a number of cases the yield In 1906
from the Williamson plan vas com
pared with the yield secured from the
same land when it was last in corn,
the compared crops not having been
grown the same year. There may be
| other sources of error. On the other
hand, a large majority of farmers
who have tried the Williamson plan
now enthusiastically accept it and it
is the sensation in the communities
where the plan has been consistently
followed. 1t is hoped that every far
mer in the State will give it a fair
and impartial trial in 1907.
