kafffr Corn
on Dry Land

1t has been only i'm the past few
years that AMY attention whatsoever
has been given to the growing of KAT
fir corn upon dry land. 1t was found
that it had the power of withstand
ing the drouth and would produce
good yields of forage. The methods
used in handling this crop were quite
similar to the common methods of
h-mdling corn, that ds, the seeds were
drilled in quite early in the spring,
by the use of the common corn plant.
or. About six pounds Of seed were
used per acre. The corn planter was
lcillowed with a harrow, after which
the field was allowed to stand I'M
til the young corn plants were COM
ing through the soil. Throughout the
entire summer a rigid system of in
tertillage was followed. This tilAge
was practiced for the purpose OF madl
tanning a dust mulch as we'll as to
keep DOWN the weeds. The crop was
cultivated about six times during the
growing season and yields of about
ten tons of forage were had per acre.
The crop was harvested at about the
time the seeds were i'm the dough
stage. The common mower was used
and the fodder YVES piled in small
piles aS sOcm as it was sufficiently
dry.
This feed is being used to- winter
over some young stock and the cat
tie seem to relish it. We would sug-
gest to the farmers of this section
that they could obtain some very
good yields of Kaffir corn upon their
dry hand.

AN INCOMPLETE PARALLEL

sumably have to be modified, AIT least
SO far as country banks are con-
ceced; for the Blackfoot (IdahO) Re

policy in the American Bankers AS
surance Company, of Dover, Della
ware. is better than 20 milliOrs in
twenty dollar pieces drawn up In "a
line of drays in front Of local
bank" for the reason that the COM
pany keeps its money and securities
in a safer place than country
bank and hence the Blackfoot State
Bank has expended $500 for one of
these policies and it (the latter) now
hangs in place over the cashiers win
dow and the public are invited to
call arid examine it.
Very s-ud. But We don't think the
parallel is entirely complete. If all
but one-twentieth of the money in

them we think the Bankers Assurance
Company, of Dover, Delaware, could
stand up under such an unusually rig
comparison. We are assuming that
the American Bankers Assurance
Company, of Dover, Delaware, is the
same as the American Bankers Assur
a'-ce Company, of st. Louis, Mo-, a.
ganized under the laws of Delaware.
Well, the latest report ON the latter
company is that on January 18th, it
had 100000 out of it's 10 millions of
capital paid up, or the one-twentieth
presumed above. OF course the re-
manning Observation-Disclosures of the
unpaid SUBSCRIPTIONS are perfectly good
But how it can be said that they are
better, or even as gOo.i as twenty
millions of actual "rhino,' as the
sports say, lined up in front of a.
bank for the latter's benefit, or as a
protection for its depositors We do
rot see.-Pacific Banker.

tiyes are regarded as invaluable both
by republicans and democrats alike,

LEGISLATORS assembled there was a
universal demand for his services for
this session amid he was prevailed
upon to place his resignation as pure
food commissioner n the hands OF
The board and to accept the position
as chief clerk. His familiarity with
legislative routine, his knowledge or
every detail of the work and ms
ouickness. have caused him to be
recoemdzed by all factions and PARTIES
as the right man for that place,
and this sentiment is NOW more I'M
animous than ever.
The legislature during the session
enacted laws greGtly increasing the
duties of the pure food and sandltary
commissioner and accordingly giving
him greater salary The state

able services during the last TWO
years, declined to accept his res1g-

The Passing of
the Old Guard

Washington, March 6-With the
closing of congress Saturday many
OF the most familiar faces in the
United Suites senate passed from the
spotlight to private life.
The week conspicuously brtings am
end to the public careers of Nelson
B. Aldrich and Eugene Hale, who for
long years pest have exerted a. domi-
nant control and who, working to-
gether with perfect team work. re-
peatedly have forced the senate to
accept the doctrine that the many
were born to wear saddlse and the
few to ride. Both have served for
30 years, and both leave broken in
health
John Kean of New Jersey, who for
II years has been in the semitic, and
an aristccratic rea,ctiOnsry, who
jumped whenever Aldrich or Hale
snapped their fingers, is filled with
rage at the prospects of his pass
ing. Only this week Keam refused
his successor, Sneator-egect MARITIME,
the ordinary courtesy expected of a
gent leman. Kean refused to present
the credentials of Maritime and even
went further. He snubbed him at
every turn while MARITIME was in
Washington last week. Kaen is one
of those who had the notion a seat
in the SENATE was his by divine right.
Chauncey M. Depew of New York,
ending his second term, is the happy
one of the retiring senators, SO he
says. He says he is going to have
a good time the rest of his life and
retires from office gladly rather than
with resentment.
A strikingly opposite picture DIS pre-
sented in the case of julius Caesar
Burrows of Michigan who winds up
Is years of congressional life.
Tom Carter of Montal-a, ONE of the
old regulars, lis another who is going
to slide GIN to the tpay roll as he
leaves the senate. 1t is all but set
tied thaftC arter, who has served in
termittently in the senate for IA
years, will go on the international
Waterways commission, dealing with
questions affecting 1.-THE Canada boun-
daries. Carter is pretty handy at
keeping a government job. While
out of the senate before he was a
member of the board of commissions

William Warler of Missouri, po-
litical accident, S retiring, and he,
too, will be provided for.
Dick of Ohio is one of the few re-
tiring senators who were associated
with the ruling standpat combination
not provided for. Apparently there
is nothing in the way of payroll berth
for dick. The retiring Ohio senator
says, however, nothing in the way
of an appoimtive position would be
acceptable to him.
Albert J. Beveridge is the ONE in
surgent to pass on and out of the
senate this week. Defeat for re-
election has aged Beveridge and has
inclined to make him cynical. He is
conceded, however, to have the best
chance to come back, politically. of
al the retiring senators. He will
leave the senate to go on the lee
ture platform.

Washington and Flint Of California
are those completing their first and
only terms.

BRINGS SUIT TO DEFEND
POET DEAD 212 YEARS
Novel Libel Suit For $4,000 Damages
Is Started Against News
paper In Paris.

PARIS. Feb. S.--What is probably
the most remarkable libel suit ever
brought against a newspaper has been
begun against the Journal des Debats.
Damages are claimed for the defama-
lion of the character Of man who
has been dead more than TWO cen
turtles.
2 Mason Forester, great-grano-
nephew OF Racine, wrote book In
which he said his relative, the poet,
Who died in 1899, derived no good from
his studies at Port Royal, and%in fact
that the influence of. the Jansenlsts
there was wholly harmful to him.
i The Journai- 4aes. Dehsts published
three articles TO show thatsPort Royal
benefited Racine.
Forester claims that that assertion
defames the character OF the gentle
old poet. In his suit he demands $4,000
damages and refutation which is to
be S,23S lines long and contain $3.50
words.
All Paris Is laughinSly wondering
how he decided on the figures.
Port Royal lies in charming cor
ner of the Valley OF Chevreuse. IL has
been a ruin since 1903 and is much
visited by American tourists.

BATHTUB CASES
IN FEDERAL COURT
Judge Denison Hears Arguments on
Demurrer of Defendants and
Reserves Decision.

Arguments we're heard by Judge
Denison, In the United States district
court, Wednesday morning. on demur'
er fled by the individual defendants III
the bathtub trust cases, and the judge
reserved his decision. None OF the
SO defendants we're present In. per-
son, but were represented by Attorney
Leo M. Butzel. District Attorney
Watson fianked by Il. o. 0rosvenor
and Joseph Darling. special assistants
to the attorney general, were on hand
for the government.
Attorney Butzel argued at some
length in support of his contention
that the indictments were insufficient
in that no offense was alleged against
the individual defendants. He pointed.
out that many OF the defendants had
not attended the meeting In MI.
Clemens, when, according TO the gov
eminent, the trust was organized. The
inference was that the court had no
jurisdiction as to these particular de-
PENDANTS.
In reply TO this contention, District
Attorney Watson argued that the OIL
Tense was continuing and was not con-
fined to any particular locality and
for these reasons the defendants
could be prosecuted in Michigan or
any other district the government
might elect. In this particular In
stance, he said. the offense had begun
Jan. /, 1908, and had continued until
Dec. 6, 1910, In various localities.
Mr.. Grosvenor, In his argument,
brought out some interesting facts.
There are 16 manufacturers in the
trust and six independent manufac-
,urers in the United States, he said.
Four hundred and fifty jobbers In AZ
states control 81 per cent OF the trade
of the country. or these jobbers the
trust controls S5 per cent and the in-
dependents 10 per cent.
