PAPER FROM CoRNsrALks.

Following closely on the publication
of many articles Of late pointing out
the rapid disappearance of timber sup
plies suitable for the manufacture of
from the chemists of the United States
department of agriculture at Wash
ington that a process has been discov-
cred whereby the cornstalks which
are at present wasted at the rate of
millions of tons annually may be con-
verted into an excellent quality Of
paper. The first practicable samples
Of the new cornstalk paper have been
manufactured by DR.. Bristol, chief
chemist of the department, and his as
sistants. The experiments have been
carried to the point of making five
shades of paper. One grade is dark
gray, thick and heavy, like parchment,
and almost as tough as sheepskin
The white is made from the hard out
side shell of the stalk and the yellow
grades from the pith. The latter have
o much LANCER fiber and resemble the
paper made from linen rags or cotton.
being soft and pliable. The process of
manufacturing the new kind Of paper
is said to be much simpler than that
involved in reducing wood pulp to
paper, the stalks needing but two or
three hours cooking, while wood pulp
needs cooking four or five times as
long. The experimenters predict that
when the manufacture of the new
kind of paper is started on a large
scale It Will be at least 90 per cent
cheaper than the paper at present
made from wood pulp.

Judge Lands Has Had Enough.

The distinction of hearing the
re trial of the Standard case, in
which Judge Landis' fine OF $780,.
24O, 900 went to pieces in the
United States appellate and Su-

United States District Attorney

and announced that he would like
to begin a new hearing of the case
Monday. Judge Lands answered
that in view ot his convictions in

the case.
"But," continued the court,
I'll ask Judge Bethea about it !;
maybe he will take it,"
But Judge Sol II Bethea, of
the District Court, pleaded some
slight connection with the matter
even before it reached Judge Lam
dis and asked to be excused.
"Well," Judge Lands pursued
after his telephone conversation
with Judge Bethea, Judge An

done.'
And there the subject was al

A PRACTICAL CAMPAIGN.

The Audubon Society Of America,
whose members are intensely interest
ed in the protection of bird life, has
decided on 4 plan Of campaign for the
future differing radically from that
followed in the past. Heretofore the
appeals Of the society for assistance
IN the good work which they are try
ing to do have been largely on the ba-
sis of sentiment-humanitarian and
aesthetic reasons-rather than on that
expressed in terms Of dollars and
cents. The campaign which the So
ciety has laid out has in view setting
before the farmer, orchardist. railroad
and business man the enormous an
nual financial loss sustained through
insect damage, rendered yearly more
threatening as a result of the ruthless
destruction of bird life. Last year, &C
cording to figures compiled by the So
ciety, the money loss to the various
interests of the country as a result of
insect damage aggregated SS00.000.000
In connection with these figures they
cite the fact that the federal govern
ment doles out the p!tifGlly paltry sum
Of $4,000 to investigate and educate
the people Oh this all important topic.
The Audubon society has struck the
right gait in getting on to the basis of
the cash loss to business interests as Il
compelling motive in bird protection,
and it goes without saying that 1t will
produce results.

AN IMPROVED VARIETY OF OATS.

AN IMPROVED VARIETY OF OATS.
A number of farmers in the oats belt
report exceptionally good results in
both yield and weight per bushel with
a new variety of oats. the Regenerated
Swedish Select, introduced two or
three years ago by a firm of English
seedsmen and exhibited at a number
Of state fairs during the past summer.
The variety of oats in question is short
kerneled. remarkably plump and full
as to berry and has been known to
Yield as high as 100 bushels to the
acre and to weigh as heavy as fifty
pounds to the bushel. Excellent char
octeristics Of the new variety are that
1t is early maturing, stiff and strong
In straw and virtually rust proof. The
seed high, from 50 to So a bush

which it guarantees would seem to JUS
tify the purchase of enough seed for a
good sized breeding plot. In a great
majority of cases where the new va
riety has been raised there has been
an Increase in yield of % per cent or
better.

The type of agriculture followed on
a good many farms might be greatly
improved, with increased profits accru-
ing to both landlord and tenant, if
the lease on which the farm was rent
ed were for five or more years instead
Of one, as is too often the case. The
one year renter naturally feels that he
cannot afford to put in a lot of hard
work on the farm one season when a
large per cent Of the benefit resulting
cannot be realized until the following
year. Likewise the landlord justifies
himself in doing as little as he is re-
quired to under the terms Of the lease
when he knows that his tenant intends
to remain but a year and is bent on
skinning the land to the limit and
would not be in a mood to appreciate
improvements the benefit from which
would extend over a period of more
than n year. 1t is therefore plain
to be seen that the long term lease is
best for the tenant, best for the land
lord and far and away the best thing
for the farm In which each has a mu
tual financial interest.

a WORD ABOUT oLEoMAReARiNE

A WORD ABOUT OLEOMARGARiNE
Federal laws lately passed wisely
place restriction on the sale Of cleo
margarine as a counterfeit Of dairy
butter. This is just common decency
ind honesty. 1t should 10 lie palmed
off on the public as a dairy product.
On the other hand, it is only fair to
say In behalf Of the manufacturers and
retailers of oleomargarine that when it
sails under it's OWE colors and Is sold
honestly for what it is-largely beef
fat-no serious objection a be urged
against it, as it is a clean and whole
some food product. For a large class
OF people who this year find them
serves In straitened financial circum-
stances oleomar@arne will doubtless be
extensively used as a subr.:tf'e - II

Experiments which have been con-
Quoted show that when cheese is sold
from the farm or milk from which
cheese is made a much larger amount

than in the case of butter or cream.
This is to quite al extent responsible
for the fertility and productivity of
those farms on which buttermaking is

A fact quite generally known, yet
sometimes overlooked, is hat red
clover is a b~iennial-that is, its length
OF life is but two seasons long-whieh
means that if the second growth is not
allowed to mature seed in the autumn
of the second season the crop will die
out. This variety of clover as 1t
grows along the roadside seems to have
a perennial habit, but this is due to the
fact that it produces seed often enough
to perpetuate itself.

you can take out life insurance policy
which will entitle you to the return

THE OTHER SIDE.

1t seems that the Cape News over
did the thing little recently in it's eff
forts to rediclude Congressman Crow.
1t tried to make it appear that Mr..
Crow hid out the day President Taft
was at the Cape to keep from introduce
ing him.
The facts in the case are as follows:
Mr.. Crow was met at the boat by a
democrat friend and hurried to a
street car instead of an autmobile
which was waiting for him.
The street car did not get to the
Normal School in time for Mr.. Crow
to introduce the President and Gov.
Hadley did the stunt for him. The
news tries to rub it in further by say
ing that Congressman Thistlewood
introduced the President at Cairo
and Congressman Ollie James in
troduced him at Hickman, neither of
which statements are correct. Gov.
Deneen of Illinois Introduced the
President at Cairo and Governor
| w lloOu introduced MN dl
The news should learn that a false
statement either peddled or published
for the purpose of injuring the standing
of an individual always reacts in favor
of the person in question when the
truth is known. The American people
are enclined to want to be fair.
The above explanation is published
in spirit OF fairness to Congress
man Grow, who feels that he has no
been treated fairly. 1t is not the de-
sire of the Hayt Herald to deny any
man, irrespective of of religion OF
politics, the right to fair and i'm
partial treatment, and having the
highest regard for the honor and in
tegrity of Mr.. Crow, we cheerfully
published his vision of the affair.
