Before a large and interested audi

features of Alfalfa.
MIR. EoWman's Address.
The yield Of oats in Iowa can be
materially increased by giving care
full attention to the following four
points:
First, variety; second, selection Of
the seed; third, treating for smut;
fourth, preparation of the seed bed
1t is very generally realized by our
farmers that there is difference in
the yielding of different varieties Of
oats. 1t is indeed very true and even
when different varieties of oats arc
grown under exactly the same condi-
tions, so far as we can make them so,
there will be very great variation IN
the yield. Some varieties stand bet
ter than others and are less suscep-
tible to rust; which Is very plainly H.
lustrated when large number OF Va

PAYN STRONG FOR TAFT.
4 Trained ErecutiUe He Calls Him
Praises Roosevelt.

1or 1oayn uss in New York yesterday afternoon
on his way with Mrs. Payn from his upstate baili-
wick to Amber, w. Va. where he is TO spend the
summer looking over his oil wells Incidentally
Mr. Pawn talked of the political situation. First
of all he insisted that the reporter should make 1t
clear he was strong for Taft
"About five months ago. said Mr. Payn. II
called on President Roosevelt. and he introduced
mo 70 Mr. Taft He impressed me so favorably
that called up my old friend Herman Living
ston who was a member of Mr.. Tafts class at
vale and asked him what sort of chap Taft was
at college The reply Mr. Livingston gave me was
entirely in accord with what expected
Mr. Pawn who has attended every Republican
National Convention since 1864. said that he
thought the best thing President Roosevelt had
done since he first held public office was TO IN
sist on having Taft his successor. our Presi-
dents" he observed, have been chance hits. That
10 bave had so many good men is attributable to
o,,r Iuck In the case Of Mr.. Taft we have
trained executive. 1 think that his JOB as Gov
ernor of the Philippines was more dln1cult than
being the Chief Magistrate of the United States.
.Taft showed his ability there as he has in
.,or,, office he has held He is great man, and
also he is personally the sort of man who will
win votes by his good nature and all AROUND
Americanism
Regarding Mr.. Roosevelt Mr. Payn remarked:
.I told him not long ago that took of my hat
- ,,,r, &c the most adroit. resourceful and capable
noIitican who lived in the White House
Whatever differences in opinion may nave arisen
between Theodore Roosevelt ana mysen were
passed up four years ago
..I once said that Theodore Roosevelt didn't nave
. dron of Republican blood in his veins meant
- ,,ben T said it. and 1 still believe that at that
time I was right In my Judgment He has changed
sipce and to-day / think he is probably the most
nonuIar man who has evs- been President OF the
United States Understand. my remark Is not
ori,iciero of former Presidents. What 1 mean is
thst Mr. Roosevelt is close to the average Amert-
can In sentiment and sympathy
"As for the Democratic convention" he con-
tinued II think it almost unnecessary 10 COM
ont Of course Bryan has the nomination

natton at the Democratic convention doesn't in

All the designations will be rendered to the En-
peror tomorrow morning Marquis Katsura' VINO

Hayashi probably will succeed Count Komura at
London 1t IS uncertain who will get the portrono
of finance No one is anxious to accept IT, There
will be changes In the ministries OF marine
and
There ia reason to believe that Marquis Saionji
will support MARQUIS Katsura in the Diet The
former is the leader OF the Seiyuka, which has a
majority In the Diet, and Marquis katsura Is the
leader OF the Baido Club which has forty votes
Such a combination would give MARQUIS hatsura
an absolute majority. 1t is doubtful II any other
man in the post Of Premier could obtain full par
namentary support
II IS said positively in the best INFORMED Cites
that the general policy Of the government VIII not
he changed The present programme OF retrehch-
nent will be carried out
~ ,o,,inai reason for Marquis Saionjfs resig-
nation Is Ill health All the members OF the Cao-
NET are strict members OF the SeiyuKa, or Con-
situtioualist party. and 1t was therefore necessary
that they should resign WITH hlm. me Iedu Ieo

includes retrenchment IN the army and the navy
the postponement OF public works, a demand FOR a

almost useless In the distance, behind the
of fallen wreckage could be heard all day cries
Tor help. Fiftythree bodies were taken out to-
day, all mutilated, some of the men having been
burned to death, while the heads and limbs Of
others had been torn off by the force of the ex-
out and removed to hospitals. OF these ten died

Three women who stood at the mouth of the
pit and recognized the bodies of their husbands
dropped dead from shock. A number of others
have gone mad.
The explosion occurred just after the night
shift entered the mine, at $50 o'clock in the
afternoon. The last twenty men of the shift
were still in the cage at the bottom of the shaft
and they were drawn to the surface uninjured
Rescue parties were at once organized. Six of
the rescuers were suffocated. The others
bravely continued at work.
In the mean while the five thousand miners
who had gathered at the head of the shaft be-
came so excited that troops had to be sum-
moned. They cleared the ground, and now al
