ARE YOU SANE ?
Here is n Test by Which You Gan
Find Out About 1t.
Charlotte Observer.)

NShdi loItS oUSeENeT.J
Can you touch the end Of your
nose-eyes shut-with the index
finger of either hand, first trial? If
you cannot, you are insane, accord
ing to decision from the bench of a
New York city committing magis-
trate. A woman was brought be-
fore that judge the other day by her
family physician, asking that she be
sent to Bellevue Hospital for fur
ther examination. The evidence
produced cid not convince the Judge
of the necessity for making the or
der. But he told the woman to close
her eyes and touch her nose with her
right forefinger. She failed on the
first two attempts, whereupon the
judge declared: Il grant the appli-
cation. This test satisfies me-" We
suggest to District Attorney Jerome
that he spring this on Harry Thaw
during the next insanity investiga-
ton. We have heard Of another test
of sanity similar to the above and
just as simple, which was used at
times in the past, but whether still
followed we do not know. This is
to cause the subject to stand per-
fectly erect, with eyes closed, heels
close together, arms straight, and
hands pressed against the thighs. 1t
is said that person with defective
brain cannot do so without the body
wavering or reeling. Those who read
this had better not try either test
unless they are quite sure of them
selves, for we would not like to be
instrumental in making them believe
they are not as strong-minded as they
thought they were.

s7,77s,OOO,OO0, VALUE OF CROPS.
Secretary of Agriculture Has Issued
His Annual Report.

Billions upon billions the farmer
has again piled up wealth, says the
annual report of United States Secre-
tary of Agriculture James Wilson.
In 1908 the crops were valued at
s7,77S,OOO,O0O-the greatest in the
worlds history.
The report goes on: "The crop
value this year is 100000, 900
above the value of 1907, and $3,061,
100000 above the census amounts or
1899. During the last ten years, the
wealth production of farms has ex-
ceeded $50, 0,O0O,OOO,O0O The great
est of all crops Is Indian corn, the
value of which is 100000,
enough to pay for the Panama Canal
and SO battleships.
For the first time In history, the
cotton crop value exceeds the hay
crops of $621, 100000. The wheat
crop value is 100000, a figure
never before approached nearer than
$66, 100000. In the value of farm
products, the dairy COW gets close to
sSOO,OOO,OOO. Eggs and poultry are
worth as much as the cotton, hay OIL
wheat crop.
while these figures contain some
duplication" the secretary explains
ION the other hand, they do not con,
tain some important items of wealth
production, and the fact remains
that in thinkable amount, $780,
100000 is produced by farmers this
year for national sustenance and ex.
port to foreign nations"

1000 NEW PLANTS FOR U. S.
Department of Agriculture Seeks to
Diversity Products.

During the past year the United
States Department of Agriculture
has brought into this country over
1000 carefully selected plants from
various parts of the world with a
view to diversifying the products of
the soil i'll this country. Especial
regard has been paid to the intro
duction of plants that will grow in
sections in which either the drought
or the severe cold has made it nearly
impossible to obtain crops Of any
kind. These plants have been placed
in the hands of private experiment.
ers and official plant breeders. The
results thus far obtained in domesti-
eating them have been very encour-
aging.
Some of the most important of the
plants have been gathered from arid
portions Of China, and it is believed
they can be adapted to the dry
States of the Southwest. Among
these is a Chinese date palm that, it
is said, resists drought and produces
a valuable fruit. New seedless per-
simmons have been brought here,
pears, apricots and cherries Of espe-
cial value being among other impor-
tations.
A new clover from the Himalaya
mountains can be grown in the hot
test portions Of the Southwest. Bam-
boo from the Orient has been planted
Iii the Gulf States, and it is believed
it's cultivation will prove successful.
Tropical plants hitherto unknown to
the soil Of the United States are be-
ing domesticated in the South.

SAW RATS FREIGHT AN EGG.
One Held it CAREFUL. and Other
Pulled Its Tail.

After an investigation covering
two weeks, William Kroback, of
Fifth street, has learned the reason
he has been receiving only two or
three eggs a day from his flock of
sixty hens, and incidentally found
out something about the invent. ;e
capacity of rats, according to spe-
cial from Darby, Pa, to the Phiia-
delphia Record.
Recently he heard a noise in his
chicken house, and quietly making
his way there, he saw two big rats
In the act Of making away with a
newly-laid egg. One of the rodents
was lying fiat on it's back with the
egg tightly clutched in its four paws,
while the other rat was dragging 1t
al ong by the tail. Krohback was so
i'm pressed by the sight that he
watched the rodents for three min
utes, during which time they car
ried the egg for twenty yards along
the fence until they came to q hole
in the ground, into which they took
the egg. One Of the rats became
tired while carrying the egg and
changed places with its fellow.

MORO CROPS FEWER GUNS.
President Of Great Railroad Makes
Address To Oklahoma Farmers.

Declaring that the grain and cot
ton fields of the Mississippi Valley
and the West are stronger military
defenses than warshils s, b. f. Yoa-
KUN, chairman of the, executive COM
mittee OF the Rock Island road, de-
liyered an address last Wednesday to
the Oklaht ma Farmers Union, in
session at shawnee. Mr.. Yoakum
strongly advocated good roads as a
means of bringing producer and
carrier closer together. Said Mr.,
Yoakum:
The European nations are teach
ing us lesson. The controversies in
England,the recent troubles in Spain,
the unrest In Russia, the ,quarreling
over military taxes in Germany, and
the struggle against new taxes In
France, should strengthen our faith
in the proposition that it is better to
grow more farm products and make
prosperous the man who sows and
harvests than to build more battle
ships and new guns.
"Our advocates of greater military
expenses tell us we are too great, too
rich and too strong to fear any trou-
bic over government expenses, but
we are now running behind and not
only devising new methods of taxa
ton, but are selling government
bonds to take care of the deficit.
The extension of the grain and cot
ton fields of the Mississippi Valley
and of the West are stronger mill
tary defenses than are the warships "

CANNOT SEND COTTON EXPERT.
Government Turns Down Request OF
the Farmers Union.

According to a letter received at
Commissioner Watson's Office In CO.
lumbia, from the chief of the bureau
Of manufacturers of the department
Of commerce and labor, 1t will be i'm
possible to send an expert to foreign
countries to gather data and infor-
nation for the benefit of the cotton
producers of the South. The reason
given is that there is no appropria-
tion for the sending Of an agent at
this time for the special service. The
request was made on the national
government as result of a resolu-
ton adopted at a recent meeting Of
the State Farmers Union held in CO.
lumbia in July. A similar resolution
was also passed at a meeting Of the
National Union held in Atlanta some
time ago.
In the letter from the department
is the following:
However, this department will
gladly cooperate with any movement
to promote the sale Of our great sta
pie, but under the appropriation act
1t is not possible to appoint an agent
at this time for that special service.
We have now two special agents ap-
pointed in the interest of the cotton
industry, namely, cotton fabrics and
cotton seed products"
