After this the roots IN Sen out in

advances toward maturity, these whorls
rise closer to the surface. The first
roots thrown out Immediately above the
primary roots run sideways and occupy
ten or fifteen inches below the surface.
These lateral roots throw out dbrous or
feeding roots, which run In every di-
rection through the soil and occupy
every inch within a radius of from two
to five feet. It Is evident, therefore,
that If we plough corn Immediately
after planting, or after it is first up,
we can plough as deep as we like, and
generally the deeper the better. When,
however, the roots begin to rise and
occupy every square inch of soil within
reach, it will not do TO plough deep.
Our cultivation must, therefore, be linn
tied to the surface, and with the end in
view Of killing the weeds and forming
the mulch Of dry dirt which will shut
off surface evaporation, and spread out
the water which is continually rising
from below within reach Of the roots.
The older and larger the plant the
shallower should the cultivation be. In
fact, If the ground is well prepared,
ploughed deep when there is no dan
ger of cutting off the roots, the only
thing the farmer needs to do during
the latter period Is to maintain the
mulch OF dry dirt on the surface.

But the reversal was more than a
temporary setback to the government.
lnasmuch as the upper court cut the
ground u from under the Federal
prosecutors In several extremely import,
ant features.
The government reversal was based
on the following points:
That Judge Lands was wrong in as
suming that it was the business of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana to
make sure that the rates rendered 1t by
the Alton railroad were the lawfully pub
iished rates. This, it was held, threw
an unfair burden upon the shipper, who
ever he might be. and tended to check
rather than promote industry.

History of the Great Case.
Ii the summer Of 1906 indictments
against the Standard on Company OF
Indiana we're returned in the Federal
court at Chicago charging the corpora
ton with obtaining concessions from
railroads In shipments Of oil from Whit
ing, Ind, where its plant is situated.
At the trial of the case involving the
Chicago and Alton, which began in
March, 1907, many counts of the indict-
ment were quashed, leaving 1.4G2
counts on which judgment was asked.
The hearing continued six weeks and
many witnesses were examined. The
jury returned a verdict finding the de-
PENDANT company guilty and leaving
the sentence to be fixed by Judge Ian
dis. In determining the amount of the
fine the Judge caused John D. Rookie
Teller Of the Standard Oil Company OF
New Jersey to testify as to the real
ownership Of the Indiana company, this
furnishing one: OF the most sensational
incidents In the case. Following all the
testimony Judge Lands imposed the
maximum fine of $4,000 on each Of the
1,462 counts Of the Indictment, making
the total Of $29,24O,OCO the largest fine
known to the history of the courts
One Of the points argued in the APP
peal was that the fine was excessive and
would wipe out the assets Of the Indi-
ana Oh Company. In an effort to in
crease the amount &c the appeal bond
