Southern Agricultural Topics.
Modern Methods That Are Helpful to
Farmer, Fruit Grower and StOckman.

Of loose soil is made fully fifteen
inches deep. This depth OF loose soil
will hold an enormous rainfall with
out running, and more than this, will
retain the water in the soil, where 1t
will be needed in dry times that are
Just as frequent as the cloudbursts
in the South. Then add to this shall
low and level cultivation, never max
ing any burrows between the rowe to
gather a head Of water.
But even these practices will not
wholly avail in the present condition
of the soil over the Southern uplandH.
The deep breaking and level cultiVa-
ton should for a while go hand In
hand with the terraces till, by a good
rotation OF crops, we always have a
sod to turn for the hoed crops, and
thus not only add the needed humus
to the soil, but have fibrous material
to still further hold the soil together.
When we have gotten thus far we can
pillow down the old terraces and work
the whole field as one. Some farmers
in Georgia, men from the North, have
taken my advice in this matter and
are successfully doing away with tho
terraces, though their nelghbors pre-
dicted the entire ruin OF their land
by the deep breaking and doing away
with the banks. Some day, when real
farming prevails over the Southern
uplands, the hideous weed-grown
lines will disappear from the Georgia
hillsides.-W. f. Massey in The
Country Gentleman.

Crona % Precede Alfalfa.

Early spring grains, such as wheat
oats, rye and crimson clover, make
good crops to precede fall sowing of
alfalfa. The land may be plowed inn
mediately after harvest, and by FREE
quent cultivation, pulyerized, SO as
to produce 3 firm seed-bed, ready for
the alfalfa to be seeded the end OF
August or early in September. The
most important requisites for success
with alfalfa are thorough preparation
and land that contains plenty of
vegetable matter. An application of
500 to COO pounds Of lime per acre
to the soil before seeding is very de-
sIrable.-Wood's Crop Circular.

The Main-stay.

The Southern farmer fully realizes
that the cotton crop is the main-stay
of the United States, and he is more
and more in earnest that cotton here
after shall sell for It's commercial
value before leaving the United
States, thereby enriching our own
country, rather than Europe.
Spectators made a profit of fully
$40 per bale on the 5000 900 bales
exported of the 1905 crop, This inn
mense profit was made. too, before
the cotton reached the mills; then
the European manufacturer made an
enormous profit-indeed a profit Of
several hundred dollars per bale is
not unusual. The farmer is awake,
however. and his day is coming.-C.

1t is claimed that David Warfield
has refused an offer of $I,oooooo
from Felix Isman, the Philadelphia
capitalist and theatrical promoter, to
become a star under his management
for a period of ten years. Mr.. War
field was to sustain no risks, for it
was assumed that he was to invest
no capital in Mr.. 1sman's enterprises.
He was to lose no part of his stipu-
lated salary of 100000 year in case
of the failure of the plays in which
he appeared. His contract, it is said,
was to be guaranteed by real estate
values. His only obligation to Mr..
Isman was to act at seven, possibly
eight, performances week at dali

years the public has crowded the the
aires whenever the opportunity Of
fered to see Madge Brierley make
the daring leap across the chasm; to
sympathize with the Colonel in his
inability to propose to the woman
he loved, and laugh at his predica-
ment when he was forced to peep
through khothole in order to see
race which meant so much to him
and his friends; to enjoy the capers
of the pickanny band; and to hate,
for the moment at least, the very
sight of the treacherous Horace Hol-
ton, and sympathze with the unlet-
tered mountaineer, Joe Lorey. And
still the play we first saw so many
years ago has the same facination
and doubtless many of those who
were at the Salt Lake theatre during
the return engagement of "In Old
Kentucky" this week had seen the
play many times before, but could
not resist the temptation to renew
the acquaintance of their old friends
Candor compels us to admit tina,

the production was a creditable one,

we doubt not that many of the same

this week will be again present to
enjoy the pleasures of a portrayal
of life in the bluegrass country.
With but single exception, each
act being presented at the Orpheum

Young Chauffeur Not Held CrimlnaiIy
Responsible for Death of

Allan Crary was exonorated yester-
day by a coroners jury of any criminal
responsibility in the accident which re-
suited in the death of Benjamin Le-
land last Thursday night. Leland was
hit by an automobile driven b. Crary
and knocked about eight feet. He died
from his injuries soon after.
AT the inquest all the witnesses ex-
cept two said that the machine was
travelling slowly and that it stopped
very quickly after striking the man.
W. H. Smiley, 955 'Moneta avenue,
swore that the auto was travelling at
least fifty miles an hour and nearly
turned over when it was steered into
Figueroa street Clark, another wit
ness, said that the machine was travel
ling fast, but he contradicted himself
so freely little faith was placed in his
testimony.
The entire forenoon was taken up
with the inquest. Deputy District At
torney Fleming questioned all the wit
nesses. Since Crary has been eXonerat-
ed by the jury no action will be taken

YOUNG MAN PLEADS
FOR COURTS MERCY
Promises to Be Good if ParoIed, but Is
Sentenced to Two Years in
San Quentin F7eni-
tentiary

When arraigned before Judge Smith
in the superior court for sentence yes
terday, Wilbur w. Stanley of Birming-
ham, Ala, made a piteous appeal for
clemency, promising if released to re-
turn to his home in the sunny south
and make a man of himself
Stanley recently withdrew plea of
not guilty to the charge Of burglary in
the second degree and pleaded guilty to
the crime. He was charged jointly with
Jack Williams, former poolroom pro-
prietor, with having broken into the
Arizona pool room on South Main
street, and stealing 2700 cigars. Will
liams entered the place and carried off
the booty, while Stanley kept watch on
the outside. 1t is alleged they carried
the cigars to Williams room, but were
captured before they could dispose of
them. Stanley, who is only 20 years of
age, told the police where the stolen
cigars were hidden, and by so doing
said he hoped to escape with light
sentence, or by being placed on proba-
ton.
He comes of a wealthy family in Bir-
mingham, where his sister still lives,
and when too late he repented of his
crime His sister wrote to the boys at
torney, stating that if he were allowed
to come home she would see that he
did not get into trouble again.
Williams pleaded guilty when first
.arraigned and was sentenced to two
years imprisonment at Folsom, in view
of which Judge Smith denied the appli-
cation for parole, saying that Stanley
was equally guilty and should be pun
ished as well as his confederate.
So that he should not meet his part
ner in crime the court sentenced STAN
ley to two years at San Quentin.

The angels Serenade," sung by Mas
ters Slmms, Drown and Brunger, was
well received. while duet, "Oh, Clap

"Phaudrig Crohoore," an Irish bal
lad, was sung by Frank Collier, the
we'll known, baritone, and was one of
the features of the concert. Mr.. Col
lier is one of the best known singers in

tuition. He realizes thoroughly that an
educated employe, trained to efficiency
in the very lines of his calling, is much
more valuable than one without train
ing. Therefore he admits readily that
the school is doing a valuable work not
only for it's pupils but for the Broadway
store as well.
1t makes the boys and girls who COM
plete its course trained sales people,
trained bookkeepers or trained cashiers;
and it makes them better fitted for sub
sequent advancement perhaps to be
head of a big department.
Receive Higher Salaries
At the same time, school gradutes
command higher salaries than they
could hope to earn without this school
training; not only in the Broadway
store but elsewhere.
