Pressure on Former Sultan.


There has been great difficulty, which
is not unnatural, in persuading his males
t. to surrender the securities and cash
deposits stored away in the German
banks for a rainy day, and the govern
ment has been using various measures to
force him. to dissoree. Delegations from
the committee of union and progress
have been coming here frequently ever
since the sultan has been their guest at
the Villa Aiattini and en- several occa-
sions they are known to have persuaded
him 20 relinquish his grasp upon certain
portions of his private fortune he
calls it. They began by making allow
ances and giving pensions to the mem
bers of his family which average about
$4,000 a year each, being more less
according TO the rank of the person in
terested: but he has taken very little in
terest in the treatment of his relations,
evidently considering that the best they
got was good enough for them.
For himself the only condition he has
ever demanded is his liberty. He has re-
peatedly offered to surrender all his
wealth if the aevernment would provide
him a villa in Paris and permit him TO
live there. Every time delegations have
visited him he has repeated that PROPOSE
ton, and has often offered the German
kaiser as security for his good behavior.
The kaiser was his only friend among
the sovereigns of Europe when he was
in power. but has now dropped him COM
pletely, and ii Is said that no answers
have been received from the many COM
munications which the eX-sultan has sent
from his prison to Berlin. Several months
ago an intimation was received a Con-
stantinople through the German en-
bassy that William II would be pleased
to have this One-sided correspondence
terminated. and since then if Abdul
Hamid has written to his old friend, the
letters have never been pasted.
Loss and Recovery of Seal
Until about the 1st of January both
the government and the ex-sultan were
powerless, so far as the control of his
securities deposited in the Imperial Bank
of Germany were concerned, because the
managers CT that institution held writ
ten instructions not to deliver them to
any one who did not bear an order writ
ten in Abdul Hamid's own hand and au-
thenticated by special seal which was
made exclusively for that purpose. And
during the confusion of his departure
from the Yildiz Kiosk that particular seal
was lost. AT least, the eX-sultan insisted
that such was the case, although the
Young Turks did not believe him.
AT one time he gave the government an
order upon the Imperial German Bank
for. his securities. The document was
written in his own hand apd was signed
by him in the presence of the delegation,
but the bank refused to recognize it be-
cause it did not bear the impress of the
special seal. Finally, about the 1St of
January, when the government was con-

Nothing Like II Before.

NotnlnS like your proposed conference
has ever hitherto taken place. From
MANY nations and from many, churches
your delegates gather on this great oc-
casion, TO initiate A movement whiCh /
not only hope, but believe, will be
fraught with far-reachng good For the
first time in four centuries Christians of
every name come together. without re-
nouncing their several convictions or sac
riticing their several principles. to confer
as to what common action may be taken
IN order to make their common Christi
anity not only known TO, but a vital force
among, the tWO-thirdS of'the human race
to whom, as yet. it is hardly name.
Surely every man imbued, as every man
should be. with the ethical teachings OF
Christianity, must rejoice in such an eff
fort TO combine. the strength OF all the
churches in the endeavor to Christ ianiZe
humanity, and 20 Christianize II not
merely in name. but in very fact.
Your conference represents the prac-
teal effort to apply the teachings OF the
gospel to what the Epistle of Jude calls
the common saliva tou.' An infinite
amount of work remains to be done be-
fore can regard as being even within
measurable distance of the goal: an IN
finite amount at home in the dark places
which TOO often closely surround tine
amount abroad in these dark places of
the earth where slackness is yet unre-
lieved by any light.
Hopes for Universal Response.
When such is the high purpose to
which you have dedicated yourselves. it
is eminently fitting that your invitation
should have gone to all Christian
churches in all lands. I am sure that
there will be general, and / hope, la
universal response. In missionary work,
above all other kinds OF Christian work,
il is imperative to RENE mber that a Ovid
ed christendorn can only imperfectiy bear
witness To the essential Unity of Chris
tianity.
II believe that without compromise of
belief, without loss of positive good con-

gifts and differences Of administration.
the Christian churches may yet find a
way TO cordial cooperation and friend

sentials upon which, as. a foundation. all
Christian churches are built. This is one
IF the lessons which has been particular

seen of Christian work in Africa. both in
heather and Mohammedan lands. L be-
tieve that unity in a spirit of Christian
brotherhood for such broad Christian
work will tend, not to do away with Diff
ferences of doctrine. but to prevent US
from laying too much stress on their
differences of doctrine 1t is written in
the Scriptures that He that doeth my
will shall know of the doctrine but the
reverse Of this proposition cannot be
found in holy writ. Emphasis is to be
put upon doing the will: if only We can
make up our minds to work together with
earnest sincerity for the common good
we shall find that doctrinal differences in
no way interfere with our doing this
work.

WE NEED STATE INSPECTION OF
SEEDS.
SEEDS.

Messrs. Editors: There is one
question our agricultural papers
should pay attention to-this is, to
purity of planting seeds shipped into
our State. We have a law making
the fertilizer man show analysis OF
his goods, law to compel food pro-
ducts to show what they are made
of; a law to compel feedstun for
stock to show what it is. We need
a law to compel seed dealers to show
what per cent of their seed show
good from actual tests.
The writer bought lot of soy bean
seed from a seed company, and from
several acres planted only six came
up by actual count. No redress can
be had from these dealers, nor will
they give any when called upon to
do so. Yet they flood the country
with their advertisements, boasting
of the high quality of their seed, etc.
This is worth nothing to the farmer.
The way the law is now, he has no
protection whatever. Pass a law for
seed dealers such as the pure food
and feed laws with the same penal
ties, thousands of dollars would be
saved to the farmers of our State
every year. This is practical. The
Agricultural College at Starkville
could carry out the provisions OF the
law just as 1t is carried out in the
pure food law. | hope that you will
see to working out some method of
protecting the public from the seed
graft as we'll as some others.

wy HEN the boil weevil reaches
wv the hill country of Alabama,
w of Mississippi and of the
States to the eastward, many of the
poorer acres now cropped in cotton
will no longer be able to produce
profitable crop of this staple. In
deed, many of these poorer areas are
not now paying a profit, but are rob-
Der acres, involving a financial loss
which must be met by the profit
made on cotton grown on better
land. Probably not until the boil
weevil arrives will some farmers be
impressed with the folly of devot-
ing the most rundown parts of the
farm to cotton. When they do so
awake, a use must be found for these
poorer lands. Most of them should
be utilized for pasturage.
In anticipation of this use, it is
none too early now to prepare them
for furnishing an increased amount
of pasturage.
The most inexpensive present step
that can be taken in this direction,
if it be thought best to continue the
cultivation of the land for few more
years, is to SOW on the terraces some
pasture plants which in time will
spread over the entire field.
Among the clovers and grasses
most suitable for sowing on the ter
races are bur clover, hairy vetch, and
Bermuda grass. There is no haste
about putting out the latter, the
roots of which are better planted in
the spring or early summer. On the
other hand the season for sowing bur
clover will soon be past and only a
few months remain in which vetch
can be advantageously sown.
The Southern variety of bur clover
should be sown in August, or not
later than the middle of September.
1t requires earlier sowing than any
of the other winter-growing forage
plants. This is because the seeds are
inclosed in bur, or twisted pod,
which at first holds the particles of
soil away from the seed and thus pre-

The enormous number of tubercu-

people that will ever increase in in
tensity until the patent medicine
devil is cast out OF our midst.-Jno.

vents the continuous moistening of
the seed by the damp soil particles,
which dampness is necessary before
termination can occur. Therefore
time must be given for the pod to
soften and partially decay and for
the soil to be packed by the force of
the raindrops and by other agencies
close up against the seed
If the termination of the seed Of
bur clover is delayed until the late
fall, quite a number of the young
plants, entering the winter without
strong root system, will be lifted out
of the ground by alternate freezes
and thaws, or be greatly delayed or
dwarfed in growth.
Southern bur clover has been
found harder towards cold and more
productive than the California va
riety. Yet the latter makes a fair
substitute except in severe winters
Moreover, the Southern kind does
not require intentional inoculation,
while the California seed should be
inoculated with soil from a field of
bur clover or of alfalfa.
Bur clover re-seeds freely and will
soon as the land is thrown out of
cultivation.
Hairy vetch even more quickly
spreads over the land from the ter
races. This is because as soon as
soon as the pods ripen they burst
forcibly, throwing the seds as far as
several yards. Vetch requires inocu-
lation with soil from another patch
Of any kind of vetch, or with soil
from a part of the garden where
English peas have grown within the
preceding year or two.
In sowing either bur clover or
vetch on terrace it is usually prac-
ticable to open furrow with a scoot-
er in the midst of the wild vegetation
usually found on the terrace. If
not, the use OF a rotary hand plant
er, costing about a dollar, will be
practicable with vetch seed, the seed
being dropped into holes made by
the planter at the distance desired
by the party doing the work. II
will even pay to plant these two kinds
of seed in hills along terrace banks
by the use of hoe, as in replanting
corn.
The planting Of terraces in bur
clover or vetch not only serves grad
ually to seed the land to these val
liable forage and soil-improving
plants, but also to protect the ter
races against breaking in winter
Live roots are great soil-binders, and
every green growth In winter
strengthens the terrace line. More
over, fields where the terraces are oc-
cupied for several years by these
plants will usually be thoroughly in
oculated throughout their entire ex-
tent by the time that it is desirable
to have either of these pasture
plants occupy the entire surface.

Editorial Comment: The writer of
the above is certainly right when he
states that seedsmen should be re-
quired to put better products on the
market. When any business openly
announces that IL does not even
guarantee the articles sold true TO
variety name, there is something
wrong. There will be difficulties en-
countered in enforcing seed law
that do not occur In enforcing our
fertilizer. feeding stuffs and pure
food laws. but seed laws are being
enforced in some States and should
be in all. Moreover, there should be
a National seed law to control inter
state trade in seeds. II will take
much money, great deal of judg-
meat and much hard work TO en-
force a seed law. but 1t can be done
and will pay.
But all complaints OF the bad quail
ity Of seed sent out by seedsmen
are not just Take for example the
case of the soy beans complained OF
by our correspondent. II test OF
these seed for termination before
planting had showed that they were
practically all dead. then the seeds
man Is to blame, but without such
test no one can know just where the
blame lies. Soy beans frequently
fail to come up to stand. even
when good seed are used They re-
quire a good seed bed and must not
be planted too deep. On the other
hand, IL planted too shallow, so they
do not get sufficient moisture, they
don't come up.
We are for seed law In every
such as will improve the quality ol
the seed without doing injustice &c
any honest merchant. The com.
plant that extravagant claims are
made for seeds is also one vel
taken. The food manufacturers OIL
sellers are compelled to label their
products correctly and there should
be some way of making those who
offer seeds for sale little more mod
est In their claims. Possibly buying
| by sample and educating the buyers
may be the only possible protection
against the extravagant claims o
seedsmen.

are any less honest or intelligen
than other merchants, but owing tC
