BUT FEW APPRECIATED
VALUE OF WORK DONE
AT UNIVERSITY FARM

Comparatively few California farm
ers have been in a position to know Of
the number and variety of experiments
which are being conducted on the Uni
versity farm at Davis, with the aim
of improving the quality and yield OF
farm crops.
The cereal department alone has fifty
acres devoted to such experiments.
These include simple variety tests OF
hundreds of varieties of wheat. barley,
rye and oats; over eighty varieties of
alfalfa, and about 180 varieties or 'le-
gumes.
Numerous fertilizer tests are under
way. some of them aiming to discover
the effects of different combinations,
upon the composition and yield or the
grain crop. Still other experiments
are testing the value of certain crops
in rotation with wheat, toward the
quality of the grain. In this way
horsebeans, peas, rye, vetch ana purr-
clover are being investigated.
By a method of soil and seed eX-
change with other parts of the state
and other states, the effects of soil ana
climate upon the composition OF wheat
are being studied. Tests of the COM
narrative value of deep and shallow
blowing are under way; also expert
ments to compare the results of drill
ing and broadcast seeding in both deep
and shallow plowed ground. There are
investigations into the rates of seed
ing. from seventy-ffve to 120 pounds to
the acre. in both deep and shallow
plowed ground. And there are tests of
tha effect of water upon growing grain
crops. as applied at different stages of
maturity.
All these experiments are those of a
single branch of the work done at the
University farm They must be re-
peated for several years in order to
get conclusive results. When these
results are ready they will be sent to
those to whom they properly belong
the farmers of California.

GEORGE WOMEN
IN RED LIGHT
American Party Workers
Threaten Deportation if
Orders Are Ignored.

Either make up your mind to work
and vote for the American party or we
will see that you are driven from the
city" was the order that went forth to
women in an apartment house in West
First South street yesterday morning.
This order was given by Jimmy Fowler,
brother to the private secretary of Mayor
John s. Bransford, and was given as
authoritative from the administration
party bosses.
After having finally succeeded in align
ing the women of the half world, to-
gether with their other allies in the city,
scattered red light section, and finding
that despite all of their flattering promises
Of protection there remained some who
had not yet signified their intention of
working under the banner of the AmeTi-
can party. agents Of the administrator
were yesterday instructed to change their
tactics from cajOlery to threats To such
as had not plighteG themselves to support
the administration under promises of pro-
lection the word was given out yesterday
that the police would receive instructions
to drive them from the city.
Jimmy Fowler visited women in the
apartment house and inquired their pOliti-
cal attitude. To such as replied in favor
of the American party regime the glad
hand Of fellowship was extended and in
structions regarding registration were
SlYen. 10 Few others the mayors agent
gave the order quoted above: Work and
vote for the American party or we will
see that you are driven from the city"
A number of the women refused to be
dictated to by the administration, and
by the police department. Several claim
they will resist any effort to drive them
from the city, and that they intend VOt-
ing as they please.

CHE MAN oE TIE HOUR

Not to find much to praise In George
BrOadhursts great American play. The
Man of the Hour" which was one of
the distinct hits Of Salt Lake City's
last two theatrical seasons, and which
comes to the Salt Lake theatre on Mon
day next for an engagement of three
nights and Wednesday matinte, is like
casting reflections on ones power Of
appreciation. Its very novelty en-
thralls one, and makes one want TO
see il again and again. Every charac-
ter in it is drawn from life There is
not an unnatural feature; not par
ticle of stage clap-trap, or a vulgar
situation. On the contrary it is in
tensely human, a true rescFipt from
everyday life. Scarcely anything
more remains to be added to what has
already been said in these columns
in praise of this realistic play. It has
secured a firm hold upon the amuse-
ment-gOing people of Salt Lake. A
new scenic production is carried this
season. Felix Haney, the well-known
comedian, is again playing Alderman
Phelan.
The election returns locally, and from
all the principal cities of the country.

AMERICAN STRIFE
WILL Be NOTICED
Split in Ranks Is No Joke, as
Votes Will Demon
Strate.

James D. Murdoch Is winning friends
every day and they are coming from
every political camp, according to the
statement OF a former American party
worker. who has aligned himself again
with the Republican party, where he was
found working yesterday and will be
found working for the success Of the en-
entire Republican ticket next Tuesday.
Il notice the Republicans have been
talking about the internal troubles of the
American party and, in turn, the Ameri-
can party organ has sought to deprecate
these reports" said this man who was
formerly found working for Tom Kearns
in every election. Some of the stories
of disaffectiOn among the Americans have
been a little off color in detail but let
me tell you that they will show up when
the votes are counted and in many unex-
pected places.
That celebrated triple cross that was
handed to Joe Lippman in the American
party convention is not a matter of his
tory Rather it Is a matter that is going
TO help materially in closing up the last
chapter Of the history of the American
party. Many Of US who were accused of
being simply the tools of Tom KeaTns
ana the Tribune in our work for the
American party have discovered that, al
though we denied the charge, we were
being used for puppets to satisfy sore
mead under the guise Of fighting for
what We believed to be Americanism.
This split in the ranks of the Ameri-
can party is no joke. either We have
been of on tangent for a few years,
seeking TO start something with q little
party that has seemed to be opposed TO
party has stood for. Where has it
brought us? In my opinion it has simply
brought us to a position where we are
political Outcasts without anything to tie
to and no object in view that can possibly
help anybody. Those who feel as 1 do
and there are many in Salt Lake-are go
ing to Quit this Kearns gang and Join
a party that we have always looked up
to and stay with IT.
THE Republicans have nominated a
man for mayor who will carry out the
principles which the American party has
pretended TO stand for and the only diff
ference will be that he will cut out the
graft and the influence of that inner
circle which never did anybody any
good unless it was the members Of that
gang and Pat Moran"

.DISINTER DEAD
TRICK FOR USE
MuIvey ct al. Scheme to Get
Fusion Candidates Left
off Ticket.

Developments yesterday, when it was
seen that the Republicans were getting
out their full strength for registration,
brought about a conference Of American
party leaders to discuss ways and means
for compelling City Recorder J. B. More
ton to leave the fusion candidates for
the city council off the ticket at the last
moment.
This scheme. which was Matched at
American party headquarters, was Of
ficially buried by the party organ, but it
was revived again yesterday, and COM
mittee was appointed with orders to see
that the city recorder consented to the
Tammany tactics,
The committee included NJ. 2. Mulvey,
z. G.. O'DOnnell, J. Z. Darmer, Mark
Reedall and two other American party
patriots, who had the support of Benny
Riyes, assistant recorder and candidate
for recorder. They called on J. 3. More
ton at his office early in the afternoon
and demanded that he take advantage Of
the ignorance Of the city attorney and
refuse to place the names of the fusion
candidates on the official ballots. More
ton stood firm, calling the attention Of
the party bosses to the provision Of the
statute, which said that the law should
be literally construed. and that if it was
apparent that the law had been complied
with. the names Of the candidates should
be placed on the ballots.
The first meeting held in the city re-
corder's office was adjourned to the Of
flee Of the city attorney, and Benny Rives
again repeated his little speech in favor
of a last desperate attempt to save the
council for the American party by leav-
ing the names of the fusion candidates
off the ticket. MOretOn remained firm
and refused to stand for this kind Of pol
tiles. and the conference resulted in
deadlock.
Later i'm the day another meeting of the
committee was held, and it was decided
to take the matter up with MOretOn again
today, and, in case he refused to comply
with their wishes, the committee was de
termined to arrange a plan to club him
into submission by deserving him in his
fight for the council in the First precinct.
It was argued that this would bring
Moreton to terms, because it has been
admitted by the American party manage
ment that the chances for election Of the
American candidates for the council in
the First precinct are exceedingly slim,
and the members Of the committee know
how great is the desire Of J. b. MOreton
to remain in politics.
