SOUTH'S farmers ADVISED
TO TRY new ROOT CROPS
Three Tropical pknts Will DO
Well In Southern Soils.
WILL UTILIZE WET GROUND
Government Proves By Experiment That the
Yuatias, Taros and Dasheen Plants WIN
Be Valuable Assets to South.

Washington, D. C.-The southern
farmer is advised by the department
Of agriculture to try some new varie-
ties of root crops with which experts
of the bureau Of plant industry have
been experimenting and believe VIII
be of practical value in the southern
states
Three new tropical plants have been
found by experiments in North Care
lima to do we'll in this latitude. They
bear the impressive and somewha;
mistifying names of yuatias, taros
and dasheens. They can be grown on
lands too wet for any root crops or
any cereal except rice. M
These plants comprise salad plants,
tubers which are said to be excellent
for table, use as well as for stock feed
roots valuable for starch and also
as a source of alcohol. For the natiY
Hawaiians, they form staple food,
and are also used as food in Japan,
China, the Malay archipelago, Porto
Rico and other hot countries
For many years the lack of wet
land root crop has been felt through
out the south Atlantic and Gull
states says the expert detailed to
Investigate the matter "In view OF
the fact that some 10000 acres in the
Carolinas and Georgias have been full
ly abandoned, with half as much
ground that is only planted once iii
two to four years on account of the
decreased profits in rice culture il
that section, an effort has been made
to find profitable crops which may be
grown in the rica soils of the coast
plain area of both of the regions
mentioned, which are too wet for
profitable potato culture"
The report says that yautias, taros,
and dasheens come from the tropics,
and their crop season is sufficiently
short to allow of their maturing in
ordinary seasons before the advent
Of killing frosts.
The yautia plant is said to yielc
as high as or more pounds of tue
bers to the hill, and the average for
common varieties in ordinary soil
may be reckoned at 2 to POUNDS
per hill. The yield of the taro is
about the same as that of the yauria.
The yield of the dasheen is so IL,
70 per cent of that of the yautla

RAILWAYS And TAFT AGREE;
! HIGHER RATES WITHDRAWN
Transportation MagnateS and The
President Have Conference.
square DEAL PROMISED ROADS
Injunction Suit Stopped, and on That Pledge
& the Railroads Agree to.wlthdraw
Increased Rates.

Washington. D. C. - A complele
agreement between the government
and the recently enjoined railroads OF
the Western Trunk Line Association
was reached at a white house confer
.ence, which lasted for more than
four hours
IN The railroads represented agreed to
withdrawal all rate increases filed "
be effective on or after June l, and
agreed to file no more increases until
the bill in congress, which gives the
interstate commerce commission pow
er to investigate and suspend in
creases that are not justified, be-
comes q law and goes into effect.
President Taft thereupon stated that
the administration purpose In bring
ing the Injunction suit had been ac-
complished and the suit would be dis.
continued
Tue discontinuance will not be en-
tered, however, until after the new
railroad law is signed.
The belief was expressed that all
Of the other railroads Of the country
which have filed increased rates, or
hate had such a plan under consid-
GRAFTON, will abide by the agreement
reached with the "a railroads named
ais defendants in the recent suit.
Everyone connected with the con-
ference seemed gratified over the out
come All that President Taft has de-
sired is that the interstate commerce
comission should have authority to
investigate increases in rates to de-
termine whether or not they are justl-
fied by prevailing conditions and are
just to the shippers This power is to
be conferred under the new law.
The railroads, on the other hand, it
is pointed out, are to be relieved OF
embarrassing litigation, are assured
of square deaP' when their case
is presented to the interstate COM
mefce commission, and are free to re-
sumo the contracts for improvements
andSextensions which they threatened
to cancel had the court proceedings
continued.

Twenty Persons Reported Dead in One City.
Telegraph Wires Destroyed Much
Property Damage.

Naples, Italy. A severe earth
shock caused number of deaths
and much property damage in cen
trail Campania. The disturbance ap-
pears to have centered in the prov
ince of Ayellino.
Telegraph wires were torn down,
and communication with the anecteo
district was broken. Meager informa-
ton received indicates that the great
est damage was done at Calltrl, AVe4-
limo province.
Calitri is said to have been half
destroyed and twenty people are re-
ported to have been killed there.
Other deaths occurred at Valta,
nearby, and it is feared that fatal
ties will be reported from other vii
lagos which, for a time, are cut on
from communication with this city
The shock occurred while the peo-
ple were still in their beds. Many
houses at Calitri tumbled, burying the
occupants in the ruins.
Those who escaped death or serl-
GUS injury fed terror-stricken from
their homes and into the country
None waited to don street clothes,
and as a result many subsequently
suffered from exposure.
A panic was created at Tore An
nunziata and Tore del Greco, where
the populations live in constant fear
of an eruption from Mount Vesuvius.
AveIIino, Compartment of Campo
mia, ItaIy.-The province OF Avelllno
bore the brunt of severe earrn-
quake that was felt throughout south
ern Italy. Fatalities occurred, ana
much damage was done to property.
1t was the darkest hour OF the
morning when the shock was felt
here. The sleeping town was arous-
ed by the shaking of walls, the rat
ting of furniture and the falling OF
plaster from the ceilings. In mo-
ment panic had seized the 10000 In
habitants, who alive in daily fear OF
a seismic disaster. Half-naked men,
women and Children fed from their
homes screaming with terror. They
had in their minds visions of Messina
and the horror 8of Reggie. Recently
there was gessped about a prediction
that the approach of Halley's comet
portended the end of the world.
The authorities kept their heads,
but they could not stay the mad rust
for the squares and open districts
outside the city. The widest con
fusion prevailed and the frightened
ones could not be reasoned with ];
could not be stopped In the squares
hundreds thref themselves upon tneir
faces and impAred the mercy of God.
Then the religious feryor found ex-
preston in haf-organized professions
to the shrine e ST Andrew, the pro
tector of the town. Others climbed to
the sanctuary IN Monte Vergine.
After severa hours of frantic en-
treaty, the authorities succeeded in
re-establishing semblance of calm,
and relief sqads were organized.

There was not thing to mar the
pleasure of the trip at any place or
any time. The kings and queens to

delightful people imaginable. Queen
Alexandra is splendid woman. 1t
