The offer of Mr.. Ballaine to pay
the government royalty Of 30
cents a ton for the privilege Of min
ing 5 ZOO acres of Alaska cOal lands
ought to open the eyes of the pco-

the rich coal fields Of that section.
The Guggenheims aud other CAPT.
talists are insisting that the gov

acres of these lands on alleged pre-
emptlon claims ut $40 an acre, a
policy which it is said Secretary Of
the Interior Balliuger favOrs, 1t
was over this matter that he fell
out with Head Forester pinchOt,
who opposed the claims, aud whom
President Taft dismissed from the
service. 1t is estimated that the

81 cents a ton would net the gov.
eminent $24 900 per acre or 800,
600, 600 for the 5000 acres which

DoDDER IN GLOVER SEED.

The tests made at the Seed Test.
ing Laboratory at the Agricultural
Experiment Station of samples Of
clover seed from farmers and seeds
men show very alarming increase
In the amount Of dodder appearing
in seeds now In the Missouri market.
Dodder is n parasitic plant which
vines over the clover stems and kills
the plants out entirely. 1t usually
works in patches in the fields, its
presence being indicated by yellow
ish or orange colored vines creeping
over the clover plants. II can be
exterminated only by cutting these
spots with a scythe or mower before
the dodder seeds ripen, allowing the
hay to dry and then burning directly
on the spot. 1t may be necessary
In some cases to add straw to this
to make sufficient heat to kill all
the vines on the stubble. This OF
course extcrminates the clover plants
also, but it is the only remedy that
will rid the land Of this vine. When
the seed Is once in the soil, II IL very
hard to control, hence the necessity
Of Missouri farmers being very care
full to avoid introducing 1t into the
seed they sow.
OF the samples examined since
Oct. lst., over 300 of them contained
doddcr. One sample contained over
100 OF this seed This is extreme,
since most samples contain only a
fraction of II but even this amount
is exceedingly dangerous when sown
on the land. The seeds are very diff
ficult to detect by the average OBJ
server, being small, not very strik-
ing in appearance, and looking some
thing like so much dirt. 1t is desir-
able therefore, that the farmers take
advantage of the Seed Testing La
boratory at Columbia, and have
samples of the clover which they are
contemplating buying, examined be-
fore making the purchase. This re-
quires but few days and is done en-
tirely without cost to the farmer.
The Experiment Station considers
this increasing amount of dodder in
samples of clover and alfalfa seed
on the Missouri market very alarm
ing and urges every farmer to take
special precaution to avoid introduce
ing this on his farm.

All these evils are done In the name
OF the Republican party. II these
forces of corruption and deplorable

But why lay it all onto Mr.. Can

with great vigor. DR.. Timmons Gov

funeral Of the state widers; that al
terward sine one had asked him Whs
