PLAN TO DOUBLE THE CORN CROP
Expert Believes Better Seed, Better
Condition of Soil viii Bring
Better Corn Crops.

Washington, D. Cit is only Q
matter of few years before it win
be possible to double the present
average production of corn to the acre
in the United States, in the belief
Of G. p. Hartley, psychologist in
charge of corn investigations of the
bureau Of plant industry. This may
be accomplished without increasing
the work of expense, says Mr.. Hart
ley.
Mr.. Hartley suggests three ways by
which farmers would be able prac.
tically to double the present produc-
ton Of an acre. These are improve.
ment in the quality of seed planted
Improvement in the condition of the
soil and improvement in the methods
Of cultivation.
Mr.. Hartley says that it should not
be understood from this statement
that it is desirable to double the pres.
ent corn crop, but that it is desirable
to produce the same yield on small
number Of acres and with less labor.

TWICE USED MANUSCRIPTS
Original Writing on PaIImpsests IL
Now Deciphered In Europe by
the Aid of Photography.

Before the days of books, parch-
ments became SO costly that economi-
cal scholars erased more or less per-
fectly what had been written. and
used them a second time. In this
manner some highly interesting and
valuable manuscripts have been lost
to the world. But In many cases the
ancient characters are. still family
visible. Twice used manuscripts are
called palimpsests, and many modern
scholars have strained thier eyes In
the effort to decipher the original
writing.
OF late years photography has been
successfully applied in Germany and
France for this work. The color of
the faded ink of the older writing on
a palimpsest is yellow. A photograph
Of such a manuscript was made
through a yellow screen. The result
. was negative on which the old writ
ing was barely discernible, being a
little darker than the background.
while the later black writing was
found to appear distinctly as white
letters.
Next an ordinary negative on a
bromide plate was made, and from
this was produced a transparent posi-
tive on which both writings appeared
dark and about equally distinct. Then
the Transparency was superimposed
on the first negative, 80 that the dark
letters Of the later writing covered
the light letters. representing the
same writing in the negative. They
were thus eliminated, being indis.
tlnguishably merged with the general
dark background produced by the
combination of positive and negative.
But the earlier characters, since they
were dark in both cases, appeared in
the combination intensely black and
distinct.

PUTNAM CITY SCHEME FAILED
OKLAHOMA CAPITOL LOCATED
NEAR CENTER OF CITY.
Senate Won Victory BY Threat to Ad-
Journ Without Capital Removal
Legislation.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.-The
senate bill for the immediate removal
of the state capital from Guthrie to
Oklahoma City and the location of
the capitol building on not less than
10 acres Of land in northeast Okla
homa City, a mile and half from the
business center Of town, was passed
by both houses of the legislature. The
vote on final passage in the senate
was 33 to 2 and in the house SO to 4.
The senate attached the emergency
clause, which makes the bill effective
Immediately upon its approval by the
governor. He has 10 days to con-
slider it. Otherwise the law would not
take effect until 80 days after the
passage and approval of the bill. This
length of time would give opportunity
for carrying the question to a vote Of
the people, but this was not desired
by capital removal promoters, by per-
sons opposed to the legislation.
The action of the house was a
victory for the senate. The house in
the early days of the session passed a
bill for the location of the capital at
Putnam City, nearly nine miles from
the business center of town. The SEN
ate refused to support the Putnam
City scheme, though the latter was
backed by Gov. Haskell. A deadlock
followed, and the senate issued an
ultimatum to the house that it should
support the Culbersan location or
there would be no capital removal
legislation, the senate adopting a
resolution for final adjournment.

There Is some value Of course to the
saloon interests of Michigan in the
repeated statement they succeed IN
having made in their behalf, that
there is nearly as much liquor sold
in the dry COUNTIES of Michigan as be-
fore the local option law weut into ef-
rect" But there is not a single city
or village or township or ward in any
dry county ia Michigan Of WHICH that
statement is true. There is not dry
county In Michigan in which there
is one sale of liquor now made where
there were fifty when the saloons
were there. There is not a dry cOun-
ty. in Michigan in which drunkenness
is one tenLhs as prevalent as before
the saloons were driven out. 1t is
further true that there is uot a dry
county IN M ichigan in which seuti-
menJ i'm behalf OF local option is rot
stronger than before its local option
experience was entered upon. Every
vote thus far taken on the local Op-
tion question in Michigan after the
people had noted its result showed
more strength for local option than
before Il was tried. This was true OF
every Michigan county in which local
option was adopted for the second
time, and it was true of the two cOuns
ties, Oakland and Wexford, in which
local option was not adopted. In every
ward in Pontiac and every ward in
Cadillac and in the townships of the
counties in which these cities were
located there were more votes cast
for local option after the law had been
on trial for two years than there were
before it's results were known. This
record Of local option experience ia
Michigan effectively disposes of every
argument and question as to its prac-
tica success.
