WILLIAMSON PLAN m FEW WORDS.
Mar RevoIutIonlze Agriculture and Put Wealth
N Pockets Of Farmers.

The State has published fre.
quently the formula for the
"Williamsons PLAN Or the way
devised by Mr.. E. McIyer Will
'liamon, of Darlington to make
five ears of corn grow where but
one grew before. The formula
as given heretofore has been a
little long. The following has
been prepared by Mr.. James
Henry Rice, Jr., as the most
concise form in which it can be
given:
Break land in winter One.fourth
deeper than common; lay off in
six.foot rows, leaving five inch
balk. When time to plant break
out balk with scooter, following
in same furrow on this ridge.
Ridge then with same plow. 60
ing deeper; run corn planter with
Dixie plow, with wing taken off.
Plant as early as possiable. u.s.
ually about the middle of March.
Drop corn grains every five or
six inches. Use no fertilizer.
Give first working with harrow
or any plow that will not cover
plant. Second working with 10
or IL inch sweep on both sides
of plant. Then after this work
ing.
Corn should not be worked a.
gain untill sufficiently stunted.
so that it will never grow large.
When it is about 10 or IL inches
high put on fertilizer. Mix 200
pounds cotton seed meal, 200
pounds of acid phosphate, 400
pounds kalnit. Put half in old
furrow. on both sides of every
other middle. Cover by break
ing out middle with turn plow
One week later treat the other
middle in the same way, fertili-
ger and all, In a few days side
corn in first middle with Is inch
sweep. Put all you nitrade of soda
in this furrow, if less than 12O
ponnds is used: if more put half
Cover with one furrow or turn
pillow. then sow peas in middle
broadcast, at rate of a bnshel to
the acre, and finish breaking out.
Lay by early. More corn is ruin
ed by late blowing than by lack
of pIowlng. No hoeing is nee.
essary and middle may be Kept
clean until time to break out by
narrowing.
For 20 bushels to the acre
leave stalks rs inches apart; for
rs bushels, IL inches; for 100 bu.
shells, 8 inches apart.
Do not pull fodder. do not cut
tops; let peas and pea vines die
on land. Value in fertilizer to
land is worth more than forage.

BRYAN's COMPLAINT.

hon. VIM. Bryan complains
that Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
has stolen his political issues as
though it were a new thing for
somd people to appropriate any
thing not nailed down. Since
the birth of the human race, we
are told, such has been the case.
Many have sown for others to
reap. Many a thinker has
thought our great problems and
some other man got tho credit.
Many an inventor has worked a
life time on an invention which
some one else introduced to the
world as his own, The fruits of
life time of toll and selfdenial
are often scattered by the spend
thrift as Kipling puts it
I'VE are very slightly changed
From the semi-apes that ranged
lnd,a's prehistoric clay;
Whose drew the longest bow
Ran his brother down, you know,
AS we run men down today.
'Daub the first of all his race,
Met the mammoth face to face.
"Stole the steadiest canoe;
Ate the quarry others slew;
Died, and took the finest grave.
when they scratched the rein
deer bone
Someone made the sketch his
Filched it from the artist, then
Even in those early days
Won a simple viceroy's praise
By the toll of other men,"

Hon E. F. Noel.

No man ever entered public life
under more propitious circum-
stances than Gov. Noel. There
is harmony and good feeling be
tween all the depa rtment of the
state government, and a spirit
of cooperation prevails through
out the capital. A marked con-
trast with condition. which ex
lsted four years ago, when Gov.
Vardaman came into office. The
cohesive power of public patron
age held enemies of good govern
ment togather and made them
defiant, aggressive and potential.
War was declared on the day Gov.
Vardaman went INTO uffice and
war continued until the enemies
of good government went down
in defeat at the special session Of
the Legislature of 1906. Thesoifl-
cial and political atmosphere "a
round the capitol has been puri-
fed and now everything auPurs
a most satisfactory condition of
things for the next four years.
The Issue proposes to stand by
the new Governor and hold up
his hands in all things that work
for the public goou. realize that
his task is g. delicate and difficult
one he will need the counsel
and cOnfdecne of his friends, and
his enemies should be just aud
fair to him. He will make mis-
takes of course-that is human.
All men make mistakes, but an
honest error will be forgiven by
a patrionc constituency. Honest
mistakes mark the broad high
way of every man in pubic life
who honestly strives to do right.
There is this consolation, how
ever, an error committed in an
effort to promote public. service
teaches a lesson that will not be
forgotten. Good will come from
it. / believe Gov. Noel is pat
riotic and faithful want him to
be prudent. | hope he will look
to the public veal rather than
rewardlng partisan polit i al
friends in all Of his appointments.
He is the Governor of all the peo-
pie aud all Of the people should
share in the benefits of his ad-
ministeration. [ believe Gov.
Noel will do it. God give him
wisdom, and the will to meet the
issues and solve the problems
that will come to him! Varda
man in The Issue.

TEXAS A. & N. STUDENTS
WALK OUT ON STRIKE.

claSSmen OF the Tex.
as Agricultural and Mechanical
college here are on strike. The
students are most punctilous in
attending drill and obeying.
without question, every order of
the commandant, but they refuse
to attend recitations or to in any
manner recognize the authority
OF President H. Fl. Harrington to
compel such attendance. When
the students failed to appear IN
the classrooms Saturday morn
ing a number of instructors went
to Bryan and no attempt was
made to have recitations Monday.
There is no prospect of better
conditions.
Let the trouble be what it may in

sad to read of the lamentable
