Going farther, he learned that II a
velocity of $1,000 feet per second was
achieved, the projectlle fired from a
cannon on the worlds pinnacle would
pass straight into space, escape the
earth's attraction, and instead Of fall
ing to the earth, would drop upon the
planet nearest 1t at the time.
This theory, If executed, would make
communication with Mars possible. A
speed Of $1,000 feet per second Is not
impossible. When the gun and explo-
sive capable of such velocity are dis
covered, scientists can drop a projectile
upon Mars, beyond doubt
A nOn-fusible projectile, partially hol-
lowed, could carry messages from this
world to any toward which 1t was d.
rected. The motions of the earth and
Mars being known, 1t would require but
little calculation to so fire the pro-
jectile that 1t would, when stopped. be

Germany, or between England and
Prussia, and the meeting between
Kaiser and King will undoubtedly bind
the two nations more closely together
While the Kaiser was the center Of
attraction for statesmen and diplomats
and the great Of the land, the little
Prince of Norway drew the plaudits
OF the people. Prince Olof is manly
little chap, now little over 4 years
old, and dressed in his sailor suit, as
becomes representative of the Scandi-
navian race, he appealed strongly to
the English Imagination and to English
sentiment. His father is Haakon VII,
who as Prince Charles of Denmark
was elected to the throne of Norway,
in 1908, and his mother is the Princess
Maud, third daughter of King Edward
and a popular English princess.

The first week in November Is early
enough to SOW wheat throughout the
middle portion of the cotton belt. This
crop often succeeds well sown as late
ns Dec. 1, provided the conditions shall
be favorable for termination for two
weeks after sowing mot too cold and
wet). Land covered with thick
growth of grass or other vegetation Is
not considered the best condition for
wheat, for the reason that wheat likes
compact, smooth surface soil. Turn
your land well, then harrow, then roll
with heavy roller, then SOW the seed.
A one or one and half ton roller run
over a freshly plowed surface once or
twice will compact the three or four
inches of surface soil. The wheat seed
should then be put in with a regular
wheat drill, says a Southern authority.
I would not apply less than 400 pounds
Of fertilizer per acre and would prefer
800 to GOO pounds unless the land be
already rich. I recommend this for
mula: Two hundred pounds acid phOs-
phate, 400 pounds OF cottonseed meal
and 80 pounds of murlate of potash
per acre, supplemented with top
dressing Of 80 to 70 pounds Of nitrate
of soda in March If the appearance Of
the plants seem to indicate the need
Of more itrogen.-EXchange.

Saving the Clover.

1t Is falling Of the American farm
er when a blade Of grass or a stem of
clover makes a strong showing to try
to turn 1t into beef, mutton or pork.
In this effort to utilibze 1t he entirely
forgets that the plant may need a little
winter protection. He does not under
stand how little Is often sufficient to
save the plant from frost destruction.
Where the clover is not pastured 1t is
often allowed to perfect its seed. which
is as fatal to the crop next year as the
winter freezing. Clipping would save
the crop where 1t Is so forward as to
bloom and perfect seed.-Rural New

Red Texns Oafn

The strain Of the Red Texas oats
which has given the largest yield for
TWO seasons and which stands third in
order of yield for the four years trial
has been grown at the Kansas station
for four years and has seemed to i'm
prove rather than to deteriorate in
quality and yield. Oats are not consid-
cred well adapted for growing In this
State 1t is the general experience
that oats soon run OUT in Kansas,
and farmers consider 1t necessary to
secure new seed every two or three
years. The trials at the Kansas sta
ton, however, indicate that it Is not
only possible to maintain the quality
and yield Of oats. but also to even i'm
prove them by good culture and by
sowing only the best grade.
