Professor James 81. Shepard, state
chemist of South Dakota, has been
conducting experiments to ascertain
the effects of bleacaed -four upon the
digestive organs and from such in
designations has concluded that the
process is injurious to health. When
we consider that this whitening of the
-four is brought about by nitrous acid
sprays the chemists tests could hardly
have proven otherwise. The federal
pure food department has now taken
the matter up and is making investi-
cations along the line pursued by Mr..
Shepard with view of prohibiting the
bleaching of -four by the nitric acid
process. No discrimination should
be made in the enforcement of the pure
food laws. If nitric acid ! is not a
poison and an adulteration we would
like to know why.

Till, the pseudo doctor, plaster
specialist and miracle worker who
piled his swindling business in Somer-
set, Wis; has, upon return from a
visit to his home in Austria, says a
news dispatch, been refused permits
sion to re-enter the United States.
Till is declared to be an impostor of
the worst stripe who has accumulated
large fortune by preying upon the
credulity Of the manned and afflicted,
and tits we'll that the federal immigra-
ton authorities have barred him from
the country. There are thousands of
other quack doctors in America who
should be prohibited from following
their nefarious business, for they are
a menace to the public health.

Six Greeks were refused admission
into Duluth by immigration Inspector
Dean upon the grounds that they were
being imported in violation of the
alien contract law. This law has, and
is being repeatedly violated despite
the watchfulness of the immigration
officers. Every conceivable plan is
resorted to by importers of cheap
labor to evade this law: and there is
every reason to believe that large
percentage of the laborers from south
ern Europe now working in the United
States entered into contracts before
leaving their native land. IL:

there would be no republican gov.

The state fair officials are being
generally denounced for permitting
political candidates to harangue the
multitude at the exposition. Upon
every hand they are receiving words
OF condemnation and the public, is
justified in taking such attitude.
Neither state or county fairs are fit
ting places for spellbinders to force
their gush upon the public, whether
such speakers be Bryan, Taft or lust
plain stump spouters. People who
go to fairs do so for pleasure and re-
creation and are averse to being bored
by long-winded harangues on how to
save the country. The custom is q
bad one and should be discontinued.

Something like $4,000 has been spent
by the city of Minneapolis for paper
ballots which were intended to be used
in case the voting machines, which
have been adopted by the municipality,
failed to operate. Now the state legal
department rules that these ballots
cannot be used-that by the adoption
of voting machines the city of Mime
apolis entirely abrogates the use of
paper ballots. Ignorance of the law
by the city's legal department was of
course the reason for this useless ex-
penditure, but that is no excuse for

New Variety of Rye.

A new variety of winter rye called
Minnesota No. 2 has been originated
by the Minnesota experiment station
and is now ready for distribution.
This rye was obtained by selection
from the Swedish rye and is an excep-
tionally high yielder. The average
yield upon the station grounds for the
past eight years is 4O.4 bushels per
acre, while the average yield of other
varieties for the state in the same time
was 1872 bushels per acre. One field
of 1.9 acres yielded 48 bushels per
acre this fall.
The grain of this new variety is
plump and much larger than the vari-
cites commonly grown. The straw is
stiff tall and stands up we'll.
/, A few bushels were distributed for
trial throughout the state last year in
order that yields might be compared
under farm conditions with the COM
mon varieties. The returns from the
entire acreage show that Minnesota
No. q averageds27.2 bushels per acre
while other rye grown under similar
conditions averaged III bushels per
acre.
Minnesota No. 2srye is offered to
the farmers of the state in two to- Eve
bushel lots at the price of Sl.25 per
bushel, including sacks. Seed will be
supplied either by the station or by
farmers who have co-opefated with
the station as seed growers. Com
munications ia regard to the rye
should be addressed to Andrew Boss,

Station, st. Paul, MINI.
