Fertilizer to Use After Peas.

A correspondent writes as follows;
In the month of September I cut
stalks and peayines and turned all
in, breaking as deep as I could with
one team. This was followed by a
heavy top-dressing of lime. What
fertilizer should use on this to
grow corn, cotton, peas, potatoes and
oats this year?"
1t is probable that this land needs
phosphoric acid and potash. If you
have turned down a growth of pea
vines, these have added organic mat.
ter that will go through the process
of nitrohcation and will furnish all
the nitrogen needed by cotton and
corn. And the best thing you can
do for the future of your land will
be to use some of these on the pea
crop and make hay Of it to feed TO
stock and make manure. The best
thing you can have for corn is barn
yard manure and the peas will helm
you get this Then adopt a regular
system of rotation, and farm instead
of dosing the soil with fertilizer for
every crop grown. A mixture of
500 pounds of acid phosphate and
twenty-five pounds of muriate of
potash will be of use on the cotton
and corn, but if you feed stock and
raise manure you can put them with
peas and let them do the rest.-W.

Corn Facts and Figures.

AOIU uANb anu
DIR. TAFT Butler recently delivered
an address on corn culture before the
Farmers Society at Pendleton' D. T.
In the course of his address DR..
Butler said r.,
As the corn crop is grown for
food purposes only we should study
its food value and harvest 1t so as 10
obtain the most from 1t. Taking the
whole corn plant
Forty-slx per cent. is ear (grain
and cob.
Fifty-four per cent. is stoyer
(stalk, blades and shucks)
But the animals are able to use as
feed a larger percentage OF the grain
than Of the stover, hence the feeding
value of the corn plant is:
Ear ffty-one per cent
Stover forty-nine per cent
The greatest food value will be
obtained from the plant when 1t is
put into a silo and fed as silage.
When harvested for the grain or
ears the whole plant should be cut
and the stover used as feed for live
stock
Pulling Corn Fodder is Expensive,
Wasteful and Does Not Pay.-ln eX-
Iperiments made to test the effect OF
pulling fodder on the yield OF
weighed and shelled corn per acre
the following results have been OBJ
tanned:
Georgia-Pulled, 239 bushels per
acre; untouched, 273 bushels per
acre. Loss "a bushels per acre.
Florida-Pulled 2S.2 bushels per
acre; untouched 31.1 bushels per
acre. Loss 90 bushels per acre.
Mississippl-Stripped, 35.5 bush
els per acre; loss, s bushels per acre,
Topped, 29 bushels per acre; loss,
14.5 bushels per acre. Untouched,
43.5 bushels per acre.
Alabama (two trials) Loss, 4
bushels per acre.
Average loss, bushels per acre.
Fodder Obtained. d.-Georgia-270
pounds per acre.
Florida-5S0 pounds per acre.
Mississippi-936 pounds per acre
(tops included
Average-695 pounds per acre.
These figures indicate that on an
average six bushels of shelled corn
per acre were sacrificed for 595
pounds Of fodder, and tho labor and
cost thrown in
The feeding value Of six bushels
OF corn is nearly as great as 595
pounds Of fodder, therefore the man
who pulls fodder pays for this fod-
der obtained in loss of corn and has
the pleasure he gets out Of the de-
lightful task of pulling fodder as his
sole reward.
One acre of corn, yielding twenty
fve bushels of shelled corn, will give
an average of over one ton of stover
(stalks, leaves and shucks). To har-
vest an acre and shuck the corn
shred the fodder costs from SO to
$3.50. A ton of stover is worth as
much for feeding as 1900 pounds of
timothy hay bought from the North
for S25. This stover costs SO a ton
TO secure with the harvesting Of the
corn crop thrown in, and If fed TO
steers they will pay So a ton for it.
AT least they have paid me that much
for it for the last three years.

WALSH FOUND GUILTY.
Jury Convicts Chicago's Frenzied
= Financier on So Counts.

This is the end Of tn financial
drama of an Irish lad who came to
America in 1849, and set out to
build up an immense fortune and
WELD power in a political world.
He became a money king, but never
became a real dominant political
factor, although he sunk many
thousands of dollars in the Chicago
Chronicle to achieve this end.
The collapse of the Chicago Nat
ional, Home Savings and Equitable
banks, all controlled by Walsh, Gre
ated tremendous sensation. Elk
aminers found that Walsh had Jug
gled $7,000,000 deposited savings in
promoting railroad properties and
other enterprises. Walsh made a
desperate, despairing fight with the
best attorneys that could be Sc
cured, but the evidence was direct
and overwhelming, although Walsh
on the stand testified that he did
all for what he believed the best in
terest of the banks. When the YER
dict was announced today he said:
1.-THE fight has just begun"

S25 FINE FOR
LOAF OF BREAD

The price of bread exceeded all
previous limits in police court this
morning when Justice ]. d. Hinkle
set 1t at s25 per loaf. Late yester-
day Patrolman Woodcock scouting
along Main av. saw two suspicious
characters following bakers wag.
on. Woodcock became interested,
and likewise followed. When the
wagon stopped and the driver de-
livered to a saloon, the two hoboes
stealthily stole two loves and beat
hasty retreat. They ran into the
open arms of the copper who took
them to police headquarters and
found them to be Fred Eau and Bill
Praman. In police court each man
penitently replied that he was
hungry and the fresh loves were as
tempting as anything they had seen
since Christmas. Neither man had
a cent.

.:THAW CASE
CUT SHORT

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.--Accordin9
to the best judges the Thaw case
will reach the Jury In about ten
days. Apparently there is no dispo-
sition on the part OF either side to
prolong the case and the evidence
in this trial will be much more di-
rect.
Evading all appeal to the emo.
tional side OF the case the defense
Is making a straight insanity plea
which the defense, in its rebuttal,
will contest. With the battle OK
experts over the case will be hand
ed over to the jury for decision.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1S.--Evelyn
Thaw will not take the stand in the
Thaw case. This decision was an
nounced today by the defense. 1t
means a sudden and radical change
of plans by Littleton. Mrs. Belle
Lawrence, Thaw's governess, will
take the stand in her stead. Mrs.
Lawrence has evidence Of weight,
it is said, which will go to prove
Harry Thaw weak minded since
youth.
Littleton has all along discounted
the value of Evelyn Thaw's story
and her withdrawal can be looked
upon as victory of Littleton in his
effort to make straight the insanity
defense.
Mrs. William Thaw's testimony
yesterday was similar to that Of .
year ago.

IS UNFRAMED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The
sensational rumor that the battle
ship Connecticut had been blown
up at Rio Janiero Is entirely dis
credited by reports received today
direct from the fleet. Nothing seri-
GUS has happened to any Of the
ships and the program for enter
tainment of officers and men is be-
ing carried out enthusiastically.
The rumor prevailed all over the
country yesterday and was strong
enough to cause great apprehen-
sion in official circles until relieved
by direct information.
The six boats of the torpedo flo
tilla reached Rio Janerio late yes
terday and practically the entire
naval fighting strength Of the Unit
ed States is now centered In that
harbor.

of charges that more money was be-
ing expended and more time con.
sumed than is necessary for the con.
struction, comprising Councilmen
Pratt, Baldwin and Funk, has as
yet made no report. Councilman
Pratt expresses himself as satisfied
with the work, Councilman Baldwin
makes no expression and Council
man Funk will reserve his opinion
for submission to the council when

erty.
Pouren is charged with having
been leader OF the Red Hand
league In Livonia, which is some
where in Russia. The Russian con-
sui general, agent of the car in the
attempted eXtraditiOn, says of Pou-
rem: "He is one OF the most cold
blooded criminals in modern times"
An army of Russian exiles in this
city have rushed to the defense Of
Pouren. They declare that he is
one of themselves, that he has COM
mitted no offense greater than to
plead for the rights of the Cypress
ed Russian peasantry. They charge
that because the czar could not
gain possession OF him because of
political offenses he has trumped up
a series Of murders to be laid at
Pouren's door. The prisoners coun-
trymen have employed able coun-
sci and will exert all their influence
to prevent the forced return Of
Pouren to Russia. They realize
that his life will be matter of few
days after he has once crossed the
border, Pouren left Russia in the
fall OF 1906.
The czar's official claim that
Pouren was at the head Of a group
of bandits who burned two inns
and several houses. and that they
murdered four people because OF
disappointment over the amount OF
loot obtained on robbing expedi-
tons.

FRANCHISE
VIOLATED

All the lights except two ON the
Monroe ST. bridge were dark last
night and the police were forced
this morning to reprimand the
Washington Water Power Co. When
Monroe st. bridge is unlighted it is
one of the most dangerous parts of
the city for hold-ups.
Despite the fact that numerous
arc lights are left unlit night after
night the w. w. p. when it makes
out the bills against the city
charges the same as though the
lights were lit full time. The Mon
roe st. franchise requires bridge
lights.
Repeated complaints about this
have been made to the finance COM
mittee Of the council but this COM
mlttee Is evidently content to allow
the company bills paid as rendered
without Directing to the company's
failure to provide a full service as
its contract stipulates.

LID ON AGAIN
TOMORROW

All saloons will be closed again
tomorrow to the agreement reached
between the law enforcement
league, the city attorney and execu-
tive committee Of the Liquor Deal
ers' association. At IL o'clock to
night the doors will be closed to re.
main so until IL o'clock Sunday
night. The experiment last Sunday
was successful from a saloon stand
point, 1t Is said. Not solitary
drunk was arrested and the town
was unusually good. The police had
little to do. The closed saloons
worked a hardship on some few
peniless men who were forced to
walk the streets.
Tomorrow, however, 1t is be-
lieved, they will have prepared for
a closed town and either have left
the city or provided themselves
with place to stay in out of the
cold. A noticeable improvement in
conditions from a police standpoint
is reported 1t is claimed that since
saloons began to close up at 2
O'Clock nights there has been much
less crime and good deal less
number of arrests.
Bartenders have been cut one
days wages by the Sunday closing,
but express satisfaction, evidently
preferring a Sunday rest to the
wages thew would make by work
ing.
