Yellow Leaf in Oats.

Reports received by the Ohio
Experiment Station indicate a
general prevalence over the state
of an abnormal condition Of oats,
shown by many of the blades
turning yellow, or reddish yel-
low, in spots or streaks, and fin
ally dying at the tips or through
out the entire length.
A similar condition was mani
tested by the oat crop of Ohio
and farther west in 1890, follow
ed by a considerable reduction in
yield, and such a condition is re-
ported by the Connecticut Ex-
pertinent Station as occurring in
that state in 1906.
The attack of 1890 was pro-
nounced by the Division of Veg
etable Pathology, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, to be due to
bacterial infection. The Con-
necticut Station failed to find ev-
idence of such infection last year,
and we have not yet found con-
elusive evidence of such infec-
tion in the present attack.
In the case of the present at
tack plant lice have been men,
toned by many observers as be-
ing unusually abundant on oats,
but we have not as yet found
conclusive evidence as to wheth-
er they have, or have not, borne
an important part in the spread
of the trouble. We know of no
remedy or prevention.
In all cases similar weather
conditions have been observed,
namely: excess of cold, rainy
weather, followed by hot sun
shine, and it appears that these
conditions have been the chief
factors in producing the out
break.
In this connection the follow
ing extract from the report of
this Station for 1890 (it being
then located at Columbus) may
be of interest:
The spring of 1890 was very
unfavorable to farming opera.
tions throughout the greater por.
tion of Ohio, on account of al.
most incessant rains. The plant.
ing of corn, oats and potatoes
was generally delayed, and cul.
tivation was much interfered
with until after the middle Of
June. On the Station farm oats
and potatoes were planted late,
and both crops suffered so much
from blight that not half an av'
erage yield was obtained"

Anent the Conversion of
Orchard.
RY LEO
BY LEO.

as he claims, experienced rellg
ion, turned States evidence, anC
gave testimony in court relative
to the Staying of so many as the
agent of the miners union. Il
he told the truth, of which there
is much doubling, the miners Of
Idaho have committed many hor'
rible crimes; crimes so damning
that the recital of them sent q
thrill of horror throughout the
land. Orchards testimony is the
chief reliance of the prosecution
in the trial now going on in the
capital of Idaho, and naturally
enough, the defense is making a
desperate effort to show that the
prosecuting witness is a monu-
mental liar-that though he may
have committed some murders,
yet his testimony is a huge lie.
Be that as it may, what con-
Germs us in this article is the
mans conversion, or let us say,
his alleged conversion. His word
as to that is to the effect that a
good man handed him a Bible,
talked to him about his SOULS
welfare, here and hereafter, and
that he experienced a change Of
heart and became a Christian.
There is a general disposition
to question the mans change,
that his alleged conversion is a
mere pretext to be rid Of the
laws penalty for numbering the
governor of Idaho, and some 9TH
er crimes of horrid hue.
Of course, we do not know if
the man is sincere or not; but we
wish to say that his conversion is
by no means an impossible ex.
perience, and neither is it a unique
experience. Many a bad man
has experienced a change of
heart, becoming quite religious
and showing all the marks of a
genuine conversion in life.
Our readers will recall the Gel
ebrated apostle Paul, who, while
Saul of Tarsus, was a wicked
prosecutor of the early Chris
tians, haling them to prison and
compelling them to blaspheme.
But while on his way to Damas-
Gus to persecute the saints, and
breathing out threatning and
slaughter against Christians,
suddenly his heart was changed,
he became, to use his own words,
"a new creature in Christ Jesus, :"
and a most jealous missionary Of
the Lord.
No one can doubt the reality of
Paul's conversion, and possibly
Orchard too has been truly con-
verted. Anyway, we must not
90 back on the old hymn,
"And while the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return"
Another instance in point Our
readers will recall the thief on
the cross who uttered the prayer
to his fellow-sufferer, Lord, re-
member me when thou comest in
to they kingdom" to which pray
er the Lord said, To-day shalt
thou be with me in paradise. -
There is no doubt of that mans
conversion. Of course, we do
not know what crimes he had
committed. Perhaps none, but
some political crimes, and per-
haps crimes of blacker color, any
way, on the cross his heart was
changed and he too became a new
man in Christ Jesus.
Now we do not vouch for the
reality Of Orchards conversion
He may be feigning for effect
but we know the change which
he processes is very possible.

CREENVILLE, OHIO, THURSDAY, JULY is. 1907

nouncement of the capture of the
Japanese spy, comes very pa
cific speech from the Japanese
admiral, Baron Yamamoto, who
lunched with the president last
week and was entertained at a
big peace banquet in New York.
Baron Yamamoto is almost the
ranking admiral of the Japanese
navy. He has been on a tour of
Europe with a very distinguished
staff comprising a number of
high naval officers and princes
more or less closely connected
with the throne. He has seen
all of the latest developments in
the European navies, and is stop
ping in this country to find out
what the United States is doing
while on his way back to Japan.
He made a very agreeable after
dinner speech in the presence of
Admiral Evans, Admiral Cogh-
Ian, Stewart L. Woodford, and a
number of other leading Ameri-
cans. The burden of his talk was
that the United States had been
the first friend of japan among
the western nations. We had
opened up the country to western
civilization, and Japan had us to
thank for her material progress
of the past half century. The
japanese people were grateful
and did not even like the thought
of these long existing ties OF
friendship being broken, and so
far as Japan was concerned, the
present friction over events on
the Pacific Coast could never de-
velop into armed hostilities. The
conclusion of this was true e.
nough, for several good and suf-
ficient reasons, the chief of which
is that Japan is neither physically
nor financially able to fight.
Moreover, there is nothing to
fight about. Finally the Hague
Conference has decided there
must be a declaration before hos
tilities, and this will balk Japa-
nese tactics.
Rather a curious state OF at-
fairs has developed in the Smith
sonian, where there is some in
dication of the institution being
eaten up by some of it's own col
lections. The enemy is nothing
less than the white ant. The
Smithsonian has animals and in
sects of all sorts brought from
the four quarters of the earth
for exhibition and study. There
have been several importations
of white ants, and it seems that
some of them must have gotten
loose in the building and found
comfortable quarters through the
winter in the neighborhood of
the steam pipes. They have in
creased greatly, and following
their natural habits have bur
rowed out nests in the most con-
venientIy located woodwork. Ia
bles and chairs have been at
tackled and in some cases fairly
riddled before it was discovered
what was the matter. Indeed,
it would not have been discovered
now, except for rather stout
female employee who sat down
too vigorously in one of the chairs.
1t went to pieces with her, and
inspection showed that the ants
had made a perfect shell of the
woodwork. 1t is hard to tell just
how much damage has been done,
as the ants work from the heart
of the wood outward, but the
discovery has set the major part
of the force ant catching with
anything but scientific ardor.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

/
This is bad weather for mo.
nopolies in restraint of trade. No
sooner has the government out
lined the scheme of a receiver
ship for lawbreaking trusts than
there comes another announce
ment of a plan that the president
has been working over for some
time which is to make the gov
ernment a part owner of the rail-
! roads and have a government
representative on the board of
directors of each of the principal
lines. This is really about the
neatest, most up-to-date and in
expensive scheme that has been
broached yet. 1t makes the gov
ernment part owner of the rail
roads, a minority stakeholder, in
fact, and puts the federal author
tiles in position to know what is
going on inside the directorate
without saddling the government
with the burden of direct owner
ship and without eliminating the
much vaunted private brain"
which is always advanced by
railroad officials as a sufficient
reason why the roads can be run
better under private than under
government ownership.
The plan as outlined by some
of the people who have talked
with the president at Oyster Bay
is simple in the extreme. It is
simply for the government to buy
a certain amount of stock in the
big roads in the open market. 1t
would not have to be a large a.
mount, considering the influence
of the federal authorities to in
sure the election of a government
director on the board Of each of
the big trunk lines. Such a di-
rector would have to be picked
man, one of ability. coupled with
unquestioned honesty. Being a
party to the meetings of the
board, he would be in a position
to know what was being done
and would be able to advise the
Department of Justice of any,
thing unlawful that the railroad
either had done or contemplated
doing. There could be no reas-
enable objection on the part of
the railroads to such government
representation, for the only OBJ
ject of such a man would be to
report railroad law breaking. Of
course, the railroads cannot con-
fess that they ever want to break
the law, so they could make no
logical objection to the presence
of an official whose business was
to see that they did not. Con-
gress would, of course, have to
appropriate the money to buy
stock, but it is not likely that
Congress would raise any objec-
ton to an expenditure of this
sort.
The periodical announcement
has come to the War department,
not officially, but by way of the
newspapers, Of the arrest of a
Japanese spy who has been
sketching the coast defenses.
This time the spy has been caught
in Ft. Rosecrans, at San Diego,
Cal. Possibly it is the same spy
who has been caught by the pa
pers so often before. If it is, he
ought by this time to have quite
a large and interesting portfolio
of American coast defense plans.
He has been caught, granting,
of course, that it is the same spy,
at Manila, Fortress Monroe, Ft.
McHenry and one or two other
places. He has always had to be
let go because there was no law
to punish a man for making
sketches of American forts. But
it only shows how active Japa-
nese snies are lin lingo newsna=

HAD CUT IT OUT TWICE
Victim of Surgeons Finally Adopted
Precautions Against Any More
Operations.

After a recent railway accident,
among the victims taken to the hos
pital for treatment was a man who
remained in the comatose state
though the physicians worked long
and patiently upon him. Careful
examinations also failed to reveal
any specific injuries, and the doctors
were puzzled to decide what was
responsible for his condition. Finally
one of the doctors suggested an oper-
alton for appendicitis as a last re-
sort. However, upon removing an
undergarment. the following request
was found printed on tablet and
suspended from the mans neck :;
"Please don't operate upon me for
appendicitis, as | have had it cut
out twice already" 1t transplred
later that the man was subject to
cataleptic attacks, and had learned
from bitter experience the necessity
of providing against injudicious
surgical experiments at such times.
