EXCEEDED HIS POWER
Head of Lorimer Investigation
Committee Makes Charge
in Illinois Senate.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, May 1.-THE state
John j. Healy. counsel for the senate
bribery investigating committee, that two
courses lie open for appeal from Judge
Petit's decision relieving Edward Tiden
from the necessity of showing his bank
books In connection with the inquiry into
the manner of the election of Senator

vestigators reference was made to Mr..
Tilden as the man to whom $4,000 pay
ments should be made to complete the
sum of 100000, the alleged amount Of
the Lorimer fund.

appellate court would only touch the
judgment of costs. but that by writ of
error the supreme court might go into
the merits Of the Petit decision.
Order for Next Tuesday.
On motion Of Senator Helm. chairman
Of the committee. consideration Of Attor-
ney Healy's report was made special
order for next Tuesday.
While speaking on his motion Senator
Helm charged that Judge Petit had gone
beyond his power.
1T is felt by many members Of this
senate" said Chairman Helm, that
Judge Petit should be reprimanded. and
l thought it the duty of this body to
make an example of him.
This is anarchy" shouted Senator
Barr. in replying to Chairman Helms
criticism of the jurist. 1T Is not up to
this body to reprimand any judge"
Chairman Helm then asked that the re-
port be corrected to read that the sen
ate show its disapproval of Judge Petit's
action and the request was granted.

ONE CAUSE OF HIGH PRICED
MEATS

While the prevailing high prices for
all commodities have doubtless been
in large measure due to a price in
fation which has been worldwide,
there is little question that a very i'm
portant factor in causing high prices
of meats has been due to the rapid
cutting up of considerable range areas
If the western plain and mountain
sites through settlement by homestead
ers This settlement, which is going
on more rapidly today than ever,
means that the day of the vigorous
range sheep and cattle, which were
eagerly bought and shipped to points
farther east for feeding, is fast pass
Ing and that ere long the territory
which heretofore has been raising the
feed with which to fatten these cattle
will also have to breed and rear its
own fattening animals. Taking into
account that this will have to be done
on high priced land, it means that
higher prices are bound to prevail for
cattle and sheep, whatever fluctuations
from month to month may be, due to
stockyard receipts. Corn belt should
keep this situation in mind and be
ready for IT.

Do M0IES EAT GRAlN7

There has been considerable discus
Sion over the question whether the
mole is entirely an insectivorous ami
NAL or whether its bill of fare includes
besides insects some grain. To settle
this question one of the instructors in
the Michigan agricultural college put
mole in box of fresh earth in which
some twenty kernels of corn We're
placed in four or five places. At the
end of thirty-six hours it was found
that all of the corn had been searched
out and devoured, and there was no
getting around the fact that the mole
was responsible. This experiment
tends to prove the claim of some that
when a mole follows row of corn he
is not only after insects which may
have been attracted by the presence
OF the seed, but the seed itself. 1t is a
matter of common observation that
when the mole can get all the big
white, juicy grubs he wants he does
not seem to care for or modest any
tnlng else, but it is more than likely
when these are not to be had he goes
after other insects and grain If he can

WHAT TWO STUDENTS DID

AS showing that the instruction that
is given at the agricultural colleges is
OF practical and valuable kind NAV
be cited the case of two Minnesota
young men. One after finishing his
course at the state school took up the
raising of potatoes on a scientific
scale. On 200 acres, which was yir
gin prairie a half dozen years ago. he
raised last season $1,000 an average of
Is. bushels to the acre, from which
ne realized net $4,000. This year he
expected to increase his yield to 200
bushels and to get just as large a net
revenue. 10 do what this young fell
low dld took brains and hustle. The
other graduate of the same institution
started five years ago with $500. He
went into debt $11, 800 for $40 acre
farm. He also had hustle and brains
NOW he has property valued at $12,5OO.
In the interval mentioned he has paid
$1,000 year in interest, spent 81 900 on
buildings. has pure bred horses, cattle
and swine worth $1,000, and he holds
that his farm has increased $40 an
acre in value, which it must be ad-
mitted is conservative estimate. The
book farming he learned at the agri-
cultural college he put to good ac-
count, his wheat averaging ten bush
els more per acre than his neighbours,
whose soil was just as good. These
instances may be termed by some ex-
ceptiOnal, yet they show nicely what
a fellow can do if he is equipped for
his work and takes hold of it With
determination.

There are now and then occasions
when the circumstances seem to justi-
fly one in going to law, but they are
few and far between. Especially Is
this true in equity cases, where prop
erty or money is involved and where
settlement could by all odds be best
effected by arbitration and compro-
mise. The folly of 'lawing" 1t out
willy nilly lies in the fact that before
a settlement is effected in the court the
chances are that the lawyers will have
the bulk Of the money or proprty that
the Migrants are scrapping over.
Folks who persist in "lawing" in this
way are easy 'pickin's" for the legal
fraternity and those who contribute
most largely toward buying their flour
and bacon and footing their coal and
electric light bills.

Some experiments which have been
conducted the past four years by the
Ohio Agriculture college to determine
what sized and shaped ears will on the
average produce the most corn per
acre, while not entirely conclusive, pre-
sent some interesting facts. First it
was found that long ears produced
3.97 bushels per acre more than shorter
and deeper kerneled ears; that seed
from ears with bare tips produced
more corn per acre the first year than
from ears that were well filed, but
that in succeeding years the seed from
well filed ears yielded from 1.5 to
2 bushels per acre more. 1t was also
found during period of five years
that crease denied corn produced 2.S4
bushels more per acre than rough dent
ed seed and that seed from a well me-
nured plot produced "a bushels less
per acre than seed from an adjoining
plot that was not MANFRED at all.
