In connection with the bureau of
plant industry of the department of
agriculture, the forest service has
been carrying on a series of expert
ments relative to the reseeding of
over grazed areas upon the national
forests in the west.
Among other important forage
plants selected for experimental work
Is the common alfilaria (Erodlum
cicataurlum) of the southwestern
desert country. This splendid for
age plant grows all over the deserts
of southern California, Arizona and
New Mexico and furnishes one of
the best plants for fattening live stock
especially sheep, known to the stock
men 1t grows in the early spring
when green feed is most desirable
and In q few weeks will cover the
desert with a rich green blanket un-
I'll II looks almost like alfalfa. The
plant generally reaches a maximum
height of from eight to ten inches in
side Of six weeks and in six weeks
more has all died down and blown
away leaving the ground as bare as
a floor. The seeds of this plant have
been carried from California, In the
wool of migrating sheep, into the ad-
Joining states, but while It will grow
at high attitudes, II does not reach
any great height above an elevation
OF 5000 feet.

Hns Hlgh Gcrmlnntlon Power.

This has been done and il is very
evident that IL the seed can be gath
cred at the proper time and under
proper conditions. II will have n high
terminating power. Samples Of the
seed gathered by Mr., Sampson show
ed n termination Of over ninety-one
per cent which Is certainly high
enough to be satisfactory to any pur-
chaser. Mr.. Sampson has been able
to outline a method of gathering this
seed by which one man can gather
a very large amount with very lit
tie trouble. Enough of the seed can
be easily secured with a high germi-
native power with which to make eX-
perimental paintings on several of the
national forests where this plant
would make an admirable addition to
the local forage supply Alfilaria,
under normal conditions, seems to be
best in a soil composed mostly of
decomposed granite, but It is believed
1t will flourish in most light sandy
soils where there is sufficient mois-
ture in the early spring to start the
growth.
Now that the forest service has
shown how to gather the seeds there
is no doubt but that the local seed
men will avail themselves of the ex-
pertinent and that in future the grade
of seed sold by seedmen will be Of
much better germinatiye strength.

Seed Hard TO Obtain.

The first obstacle the government
experts ran against was the lmpossi-
bllity of obtaining seed in the open
markets that would germinate The
seed commands a high price and is
hard TO obtain but of samples pur-
chased from various seed houses the
terminating power was never higher
than about eight per cent.
In order to determine, II possible.
where the fault lay, in the non-ger-
minating power of the seeds purchas-
I'd, the forest service sent one Of its
plant experts. Arthur W. Sampson,
into the field in southern California
where alfilarla was known to be most
abundant, with orders to gather seed
of this plant and make a careful
study of the conditions governing its
growth.

ROME, June 23-It is reported from
Abyssinia today that King Menelik Is
dead and that the Queen Taitu has
taken over the government, keeping the
death of the King a secret in order to
enable her to name his successor and
establish the new ruler in power before

1t is generally believed. however, that
If Menelik is not dead. he is certainly
dying. as It Is known that he has been

The Queen is extremely hostile toward
Prince Lidg Jeassu, their heir, who Is q
grandson of the King. The prince is
lad of about twelve years, but has
strong following. due TO the fact that
II is known that Menelik desired him 20
inherit the throne.
The prince was sent to the capitals
of Europe by Menelik a year ago to
observe and study the methods OF gov
eminent and prepare himself TO take
m the sceTlter immediately upon the
death of the King.
As Menelik realized more than a year
ago, that his days were numbered, his
plans for the succession Of Lidg JeasSu
were made openly, and were known to
all the people of Abyssinia.

DEMOCRATS HELP
SENATOR ALDRICH
Zen Republicans Support North
Dakota Man Against Finance
Committee.

Senators seeking to compel large re-
auctions in the lumber tariff ran into
a stone wall in the Senate this morning
Senator Aldrich and the Finance Com
aittee had the votes, and were in con
troll OF the situation completely. Demo-
cratic Senators came TO Senator Aid
Tichs aid. and amendments offered TO
cut the duties down below the Finance
Committee rates were doomed.
The first test vote was on an amend
Inent by Senator NcCumbeF TO reduce
the duty on rough lumber to 81 per
thousand, the House rate. The Finance
Committee had fixed the rate at $50.
Mr.. McCumber made a strong plea for
his amendment. but it was voted down
by A 70 "a
How They Voted
Fourteen Republicans and ten Demo-
Gratis voted for the lower rate pro-
posed by Mr.. McCumber. The Repub-
licans who supported it were -Messrs.
Beverage. Bristow. Brown. Burkett,
Burton. Carter Clapp. Crawford, Cum
Minis. Curtis. Gamble, La Toilette. Nc
Cumber. and Nelson. The Democrats
who voted for it were Bankhead, Clay.
Davis, Gore, Hughes. Johnson. McLau-
ain, Overman, Paynter, and Tillman.
The rest Of the Democrats present and
voting supported the rate favored by
The Finance Committee.
Thereafter, Senator McCumber pro-
posed other amendments TO cut the
rates on dressed lumber, but their fate
was indicated by the opening vote.
From the moment the discussion start
ed II was quite clear that the Finance
Committee would have its way. It pro-
poses a duty Of $50 on rough lumber.
with a duty of 90 cents additional per
thousand feet on lumber finished on one
side; 70 cents additional II finished on
two sides; $l.25 If finished on three
sides and 81 80 additional if finished
on four sides. This amounts roughly to
q reduction Of about % per cent below
the present Dingley rates on lumber
Wanted Differential Lowered.
Senator McCUmber spoke at length IN
support Of lowering the differential be-
tween rough lumber and finished lun-
Der. He sought to demonstrate the alb
sur4lity of making the difIerentials az
great as proposed by the Finance Com
nlittee and especially Of making the diff
ferential greater IN the lumber finish
ed on more than one side than in the
case of lumber finished on one side.
He sought to show that with modern
planning machinery, finishing on two.
three, or four sides can be accomplished
AT single operation, as wen as finish
ing on one side and that therefore the
dsneFentla1s proposed by the Finance
Committee are reckOned on the basis
OF machinery operations which are OBJ
Eclete.
The Finance Committee schedule on
lumber was finally adopted by a vote Of

Cumber to reduce the duties on finished
lumber were beaten by 80 TO 80.
