As a result of experiments which have been carried on for the past sev- en years by the federal department of agriculture along the line of acclimatiz- ing and breeding Egyptian cotton from imported seed of the variety known as Nit Afifi two or three types have been developed which give much promise. possessing as much individuality of plant, boil and fiber as newer varieties which have been developed in the Egyptian plant breeding experiments. The experimental work which has been carried on has been the result of a de- sire to produce in this country this high grade type of Egyptian cotton, 72.617,S9 pounds of which were i'm ported during 1909 at cost of $12.- 101 000 and which is used solely in the manufacture of the finest goods, espe- cially mercerized and part silk stuffs in which finish and luster are desired. Samples of the acclimatized Egyptian fiber grown last year in the southwest have been pronounced by American spinners to be fin every respect equal to the Egyptian grown article of cor responding grades. The details of these experiments are given in bulletin POO, issued recently by the bureau of plant industry.

There Is probably no product or by product of the farm that furnishes protein in. a more palatable or valu- able form than skimmilk. Especially is this the case when considering ra- tions for calves, pigs and poultry. It is because of this fact that ,dairying has so much to commend it as a type of farming and why hog raising dove tails in with it so nicely as profitable side line. Under such system of man. agement there is carried out very simply and effectively type of con- servation which means more to the permanent welfare Of the country than any of the somewhat spectacular and 'faraway but no less worthy forms of conservation which are just now en- gazing public attention. Dairying means conservation of soil fertility for the simple reason that with a ton of butter worth $500 there Is removed from the farm but 90 cents worth of fertilizing elements, while in the case of raw products like corn, oats and wheat 1t runs from SIP to $16 worth.

There have been frequent references in horticultureal literature during the past two or three years about ever bearing strawberries, but nothing that seemed to give much promise that they would amount to anything. However. the recent experience of a Pulaski CN. Y) grower with the new variety seems to indicate that it Is something more than curiosity. He got three pickings of berries after Aug. 15 last, which averaged more than 600 quarts to the acre and brought him 25 cents per quart. The fall or ever bearing straw berry, as 1t Is known. differs from the common varieties in the one respect that 1t blossoms continuously from June until November. One crop is matured at the usual time in June. and the second crop may be secured by pinching off all blossoms about three weeks before 1t is desired to have the fruit ripen, when all of the strength of the vines is diverted to the balf grown fruit. Those who have tasted the fall matured fruit state that it has fully as fine flavor as the June product.

Boiling water is forced down the space between the ten and six inch pipes which extend to the bed.

The Price-Campbell cotton picking machine. which was operated sue cessfully on a number of southern plantations last season, is said to possess an almost human ingenuity. its steel fingers selecting the ripe from the unripe bolls and reaching beneath the branches and getting bolls that are hidden. A comparison of the hand and machine picked cotton at the mill shows that the latter con tafns less waste than the former, while in the field the machine picks as clean as the average negro help. Tn amount the new picker does the work in day of from twenty to thirty hands.

KIDNAPPERS
STILL FREE

The kidnapping Of grandson of
Judge Waldo of Las Vegas, is
apparently no nearer a solution
than heretofore. An adobe house
in Romeroville, a suburb of Las
Vegas was searched by the off,
GERS, who believe that this house
was where the child was kept
by the bandits, while awaiting
the payment of the ransom of
$4,000. Some toys were dis
covered which would indicate
that the child might have been
in hiding here. Local photo
graphers have been engaged by
the officers to make views of the
building and its surroundings,
as well as the locality and vicini
ty, where the meeting took place
and the ransom money paid
over, in hopes that some clue
might develop whereby the Of
ficers might vet be successful.
While not saying much. the
officers Of the Mounted Police
and Santa Fe Railway, are
working along every clue which
presents itself Apparently Cap
tain Fornoff has some idea that
there will be something doing
shortly. He was a passenger on
the 2:10 train, but refused to
give his destination, merely
saying that he would return to-
morrow night, when he might |
have something to disclose. All
posses have returned to the city.
A careful search Of the Rogers
home has failed to offer any clues
not heretofore taken up.

In conversation with General
c. F. Easley yesterday, the
General said that he had infor-
nation that Statehood would be
taken up by Congress at the
special session, and that in all
probabilities the constitutions Of
both Arizona and New Mexico
would be approved before ad-
journment. The General added
that he was positive that New
Mexico would only come in, at
the same time as does Arizona,
the prevalent idea among the
statesmen being that as the peo.
pie of both territories had adopt
ed their constitutions by large
majorities, Congress had no
choice in the matter, except to
approve them unless they were
found to conflict with the terms
of the enabling act or the feder-
al constitution.
