The education of the young ruler to
American ways is but step in the
revolution of the Baroda state.
Born of race which once delighted
in most inhuman cruelty, the gaikwar
of Baroda now seeks to give his peo-
pie the best that modern civilization
of the west has to Offer. He comes
from fighting ancestry, being a de-
scendant of that great Mahratta sol
dier, Damaji Gaikwar. His title,
Shamsher Bahadur, was won by that
warrior at the battle of Bellapore at
the end of the seventeenth cent ary.
when the imperial army of Delhi was
defeated. The title was conferred by
ton of his bravery.
He is fond of the theater and of the
usual freshmen amusements, but never
allows pleasure to Interfere with his
college studies.
He declares that American prosperi-
ty is the result of one of the most
equitable forms of government in the
world, and he hints that the future
progress of Baroda VIII owe much to
the example which is held up by this
country.
While the prince could have half a
dozen automobiles at his command and
enjoy the most sumptuous luXuries
ever conceived by a college student,
he is entirely averse to things of that
sort.
Every morning at eight o'clock he
rolls out of bed in very plebeian
manner and ducks into his bath in a
before roll call.
College he likes. He says that he
en- ioys il as much as anyone else. and
from the large number of friends that
he has already acquired 1t is safe to
say that the prince Is liked by the
college.
In personal appearance Prince Gaik-
war is olive.complexioned. with oval
face. plump cheeks. lips little thick
er than those of the average Ameri.
can. and with luminous, dark eyes. He
is Silghtly understood in height. but us.

If the lawn grass seems to be getting weak and thin or dying out In spots 1t may be in need of either more sun shine or fertilizing and maybe both. If it is sunshine, some of the trees should be cut away or the lower branches trimmed off; if fertilizer, thin coat of well routed stable manure should be scattered over it and after 1t has lain about three weeks and been soaked up with couple of good rains all of it re- moved that can be raked up with an iron rake. While this will make it nee essary to mow the lawn somewhat oftener, the sward will look much bet ter for its tonic.

It is estimated that the blight caused loss to the potato crop in South Da- kota last year of between 30 and 40 per cent of the possible total yield. This pest, which is a purely fungous disease, usually appears early in July, sometimes a trife earlier, and seems to spread most rapidly and do most damage in damp, muggy weather. Spraying with the bordeaux mixture. which has several times been describ- ed in these columns, Is an effective preventive. It is we'll to give the first treatment when the vines are about eight inches high and to repeat at in- tervals of ten days so long as un- favorable weather conditions exist Usually two or three treatments are sufficient. If bugs are bad at the same time they may be fixed by adding paris green to the bordeaux mixture at the rate of a pound to 150 gallons of the spray mixture.

Louisiana Corn.

THE status Of the Louisiana corn industry as
brought out in the recent report OF the Bureau
Of Statistics Of the y. S. Department of Agrl-
culture, places it far down in the list OF the
corn producing states. Louisiana, South Caro-
lima South Dakota and Virginia stand at the
foot Of the list, Louisiana and South Carolina
producing each 2 per cent. Of the total crop and
South Dakota and Virginia standing a shade
lower. prCducing'each 80 per cent. OF the total
crop. Mississippi, with her sand hills, rises to
&c Ger cent, while Arkansas and North Caro-
lima rise to 81 per cent. and Alabama, TenneS-
see and Kentucky produced respectively 3 por
cent. 8 / per cent, and 3.S per cent. Of the
total crop.
Chief among the corr producers is the state
Of Illinois, producing "a per cent. OF the total
crop, or nearly five times as much as Louisiana.
Iowa comes next, producing 8.6 per cent, or
about four times as much as Louisiana, While
the thrifty state of Texas, with its vast areas
of fertile land, only produces 7.6 per cent, we
in Louisiana, with our 2 per cent. production on

more than a quarter as much as Texas. We be-
