From the time the wheat was sowed
last fall, the season has not been fav-
orable. The long period of dry wealth
er in the early fall gave the wheat de-
cided set back from the fact that 1t did
not have the moisture to secure good
healthy growth preparatory to winter
months which is a most essential char
acteristic. When the freezing season
commenced also, and there was no
snow to protect the roots. The re-
suit has been that the crop is looking
miserably bad at this time and in all
probability may fields will be plowed
up for oats or potatoes in the spring.
While the conditions are most dis
couraging to the farmers at this time.
some of the experienced men say they
have seen excellent yields from just
such a stand as is shown and they ad-
wise the farmers in general to think
twice before blowing up any Of their
fields of wheat. The next six weeks
may be favorable to the crop.

Arthur Goss has just completed the
twentieth annual report of the Purdue
experiment station, showing the i'm

the year ending June 80, 1907, and Civ
ing an idea of the scope and value Of
the information disseminated by the
station in that time Thousands of
farmers throughout Indiana and other
States shared in the benefits OF the
research works results and with the
handsome new 100000 experiment
station building nearing completion
the station will soon be able 10 en-
gage in much more extensive work for
Indiana farmers. The activity of the
station in the year covered in the re-
port is indicated by the fact that twice
as many bulletins and circulars were
issued as in any previous year. In the
Agricultural and chemical department
the crop and soil Improvement work
has been actively prosecuted and con-
siderably extended. The work is

devotees to the cornet, violin and ban

ever was q time when musicians were
in demand. yet such was really the
case. I'm the fifteenth century" says
Mr.. Henry NJ. Brooks in his "Old-
en- Time Music" musicians were so
scarce in England that they were I'M
pressed by government order. as in
more recent times seamen had to suf-
fer in like manner. Henry VIII. also
issued warrants for the impressment
of children with good voices for the
choirs of the cathedrals, and in Eliza
beth's time children with the proper
qualification for her majesty's choirs
were taken from their parents without
any compensation being given to the

to a greater and greater extent as in
dictated by the increased interest man
fest
A notable advance was made in the
dairy department by the establish
ment of a research laboratory for the
purpose of making experimental stud
les of various problems confronting
the dairymen and butter makers OF
the State. The work of the dairy de
partment has been very active during
the year
The increased funds due to the Gov
eminent Adams act has made possible
the active prosecution OF the plant
rust investigation in the botanical de-
partment, and the hog cholera work in
the animal husbandry department.
The extension work has been eN-
haustive and has brought the work of
the station close TO the people in a
striking way. More special trains are
TO be run this year and experiments
conducted in various parts of the
State.

bent over opposite one another like
two gamecocks, watching intently for
a chance to seize an advantage. Dur

tense with expectation. Then suddenly
the women sprang. kissing at each

teeth, at first by Stimulating ferocity to

This time there were no prelimi-

Havana, Feb. 22-Interest in poll
tics, which lately has been languid, is
reviving under the stimulus of spir-
tied discussion in the newspapers as
to whether the United States intends,
on the establishment of the Repub-
lie, to impose additional guarantees
to ensure the stability Of the new gov
eminent.
Liberals strenuously oppose the I'M
position of guarantees additional to
those included in the Plat amend
ment insisting that the relations be-
tween the United States and Cuba
should remain the same as they were
prior to the last revolution. The con
servatives favor the idea of the Unit
ed States undertaking the responsible
ity of giving full support to the new
government and also making Cuba re-
sponsible for all damages to native
and foreign property resulting from
future revolutions.
