The rise and fall OF Charles W.
Morse forms an interesting chapter
in the recent history of New York's
financial methods. As a young col
lege man in Maine he engaged in tine
ice business and prospered, and with
good working capital came to New
York, where he formed the Ice Trust,
with a capitalization of $4,000. 900.
Then he branched into the banking
business and soon owned or controlled
twenty different financial institutions,
using one bank security for securing
control of another. Not content with
these triumphs, which Melted him
many millions, he organized the Con-
solidated Steamship Company, with q
capitalization of $12O,O00,O00 Had not
the panic of 1907 occurred, Morse
would have been able to swing his
great enterprises, but he fell one Of
the victims of that disastrous financial
crash and In night the title of Ice
King, Banking King and Steamship
King passed away from him forever.
In an endeavor to save himself he mis-
appropriated funds of the National
Bank of North America, and 1t Is for
this offense he is now a prisoner in
the Atlanta penitentiary.

the more likely it is to succeed. 1t

farmed but it will be evident to
those who reflect a little that when
the settler locates on his land in the
spring and breaks up prairie land and
sows it to grain, some of it perhaps
unduly late, he has not much oppor-
tunity to prepare the land in such a
way as will enable him to conserve
moisture. OF course, the land that
he prepares for the crop the next year
by summer following, or growing a
cultivated crop, will bring with it the
assurance of at least reasonable sue

A Warning to Many Settlers.

Pointing out the great Importance
of leaving the new settlers in Mon
tana fully informed as to the i'm
portance of conducting their farming
operations along the right lines, Prof.
Thomas Shaw, the agricultural ex-
pert of the Great Northern railway,
has issued a letter of warning and
advice to the intending settlers. He
points out that the efforts of the
Great Northern and the people of
Montana are resulting in great in
fluX of new settlers into the state,
and that it is important to help them
to succeed and to see that they do
not till the land in the same way
they did back east. Professor Shaw's
letter follows:
'"Ihe rush of homeseekers into
Montana at the present time may be
said to be unprecedented in the his
tory of the state. The vacant lands

Corvallis, Oregon, Feb. l, 1910.
To All Progressive Farmers and
Seedsmen:
Many thousands of dollars are lost
annually by both the farmers and the
seedsmen of the Northwest and Pacific
Coast states, through the purchase
and use of inferior seed. This loss is
four-fold: First, through the pur-
chase of seed of low vitality, or of
seed containing high percentages of
worthless or harmful impurities. Sec
ond, through the resultant thin stand
and poor crop obtained for the same
amount of labor expended as for a
good crop. Third, through the SEED
ing of the land to worthless plants or
to noxious weeds. Fourth, through
the loss of business to seedsmen.
This wide spread and heavy annual
loss has been due, partially at least,
to the fact that farmers and seedSmen
alike have not had the means of easily
and accurately determining the germi-
nation and purity Of the seeds pur
chased and used.
ATTENTION.
The Seed Laboratory of the Bure au

partment of Agriculture, in co-opera-
tion with the Oregon Agricultural
College, has opened a branch seed
