Campbell Method Applied in Illinois

l recently had a report made to me
of two 1910 corn crops that may be of
interest to some of your agricultural
readers.
Mr.. H. c. Brooks, of Marshall coun-
ty, ILL.,, owns sandy loan farm. Two
fields of this farm of equal futility
were properly prepared and planted to
corn in good time by two different men.
Immediately following the planting a
soaking rain pounded the ground down
very fiat. As soon as conditions would
permit the first man began active sur
face cultivation and continued it though
the season following was hot and
dry. His crop yielded % bushels per
acre. The second man, like the great
painter mixed his farming with
brains and by deep cultivation broke
up quickly the underlying crust that
promised ruin to his crop ifleft unbrok-
en-, his yield at harvest time was 65
bushels to the acre.
The soil and rainfall were identicaly
the same in both fields. The first field
was cultivated by hard working man
that had no time or cash to spend in
Farm Journals. The second man work
ed no harder in the field but had learn
ed to apply Campbell's soil culture me-
thods. therefore, he quickly broke the
underlying crust that meant destruc-
ton by rapid loss of moisture and an
impervious root bed.
The first man will condemn surface
cultivation hereafter and will probably
try deep cultivation and it will only be
by chance if he does not fail again.
The second man will this spring just
as carefully study this springs condi-
tions and apply scientific soil culture"
principles, cultivating deep or shallow
as his intelligent judgement guides
him.
In recent personal letter Professor
Campbell said to the writer that Sedg
wick and Deuel. county's soil was so
rich that they were capable of produc-

spire the closest friendship between
the two great nations.
Regarding the condition in the pro-
tOcol of the treaty that ''pending the
conclusion of a special arrangement,
the provisions relating to tariff in the
treaty of November %, 1904, shall be
maintained, it is said authoritatively
there will be no effort in the immediate
future to make such special arrange
.ment between America and Japan. In
stead, the business of the two countries
will be conducted, so far as customs
duties are concerned, under the terms
of the old treaty.
America will not be the loser by this,
it is said, for even if Japan should
conclude special trade arrangements
with other countries whereby they will
secure an abatement of import duties
upon their goods entering Japan, the
latter government will, under the fav
ored nations clause, Immediately extend
the same privilege to like imports
from the Uuited States, and this will
continue Indefinitely. or until the two
countries see it fit to enter into one of
the special trade arrangements, perhaps
on the lines of the Canadian recipro-
city agreement.

Farming Will be Taught to Girls
on Belmont Farm.

Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont announced
that she would open within a short
time school for teaching girls to farm.
A class of 20 factory glrls-all suffrag-
ists-will be instructed in the art of
agriculture upon Mrs Belmont's 200
acres at Hempstead, L. l. Truck
farming will be the specially and when
the women have gathered their crops
they will drive to the city and learn
how to sell them.
The young women will be taught to
plow fields, sow seed, led down horses,
feed pigs, milk cows, make butter,
rake hay and raise chickens. Not a
man will be on the premises.
The girls will receive wages while
learning. 1t is intended to make the
place self supporting and ultimately to
enlarge the class. Mrs. Belmont also
announced that she was working on
plan to enable her "farmerettes" to
become owners of tiny farms, from a
half acre up.
Mrs. Belmont says that back of the
scheme is the movement to win con-
verts to her "votes for women" creed.

is in fact the first of the whole fabric
Of treaties to readjust Japan's trade
and commercial relations withsr the
great powers and the lesser &ations
with which she has built up trade. 1t
is true there has been much negotia-
ton on this subject, and the drafts of
as many as thirteen trade treaties have
been drawn, but SO far none of them
has actually been ratified.
While it was originally expected the
United States might be a year behind
the other powers in the conclusion of a
new treaty, by reason of the fact that
the existing treaty with Japan would
not expire until July, 1912, this coun-
try has actually gone to the front and
acted as a pioneer for all of the other
nations. For the reason that the United
States had not insisted upsn, claiming
the very last year under the present
treaty; that it has not, as was expected
in some quarters, waited to see what
other nations were doing, but with full
confidence in the honor of Japan has
led the way in unanimously ratifying
the new treaty, the Japanese govern
ment and people are deeply grateful,
and in the opinion of the Japanese en-
bassy this action will do much to in

c. M. Harris Resigns As Clerk
of The District Court

c. M. Harris who has served Sedg-
wick county as clerk of the District
Court for the past ten years has de-
cided to retire from public office and
devote his entire time to superintend-
ing his stock farm, and the raising of
thoroughbred stock. Mr.. Harris has
served the county faithfully for the
many years he has been in public SER
vice, and his decision to retire to pri-
vate life will be great disappointment
to the inhabitants of Sedgwick county.
The Office, however, is to be filled by
one who is by no means stranger to
the people of this county. Everyone
will be more than pleased to know
that Mrs. Norah B. Redford, who has
held the position as County Clerk of
Sedgwick County, for many years has
been appointed to the office, vacated by
Mr.. Harris, by Judge H. P. Burke.
Mrs. Redford received her appoint
ment on Tuesday last and has taken up

Shows Victory of Safety Devices

In the year 1903 1904 the number of
accidents on the Union Pacific was 20
for 1000, 600 locomotive miles. In the
final half of 1910 it was only for L.
600, 900 locomotive miles. On the Pa
cific system of the Southern Pacific the
number of accidents per 1000, 600 loco
motive miles was reduced in the same
time from 295 to l0.5.
''Since the final bulletin" the report
says, announcements by federal and
state courts of comprehensive and de-
cisive decisions in proceedings brought
by this bureau have enabled suppression
of railway ticket scalping through in
functional and criminal procedure in
many localities heretofore infected by

3 The Harrinfan~ railway iiiifes carried
10 per cert of the estimated 1910 pass
enger traffic of the United States, or
40, 491, 900 people, without fatal acci-
dent to any of the number. This re-
suit is ascribed to the installation of
salty devices and is believed to have
no parallel in the railroad world.
The report, containing this data, has
just been compiled in the offices of
julius kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance and operation on the system,
including the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific railroads, total of IT,
$50 miles.
The total number of passengers car
ried on one mile basis was 5000, ,OO0-
600. The figures of the country's rail-
roads for 1910 have not yet been com
piled by the government, but in 1909
the interstate commerce commission re-
ported the number of passengers carried
as 29, 600, 600, 900. The figures for 1910
will not exceed billion more, it is said.
Many other railroads have gone
through a year without fatality to
any of its passengers, but it is said that
NO system has made this record for
such large total Of passengers,
The result on the Hartman lines are
ascribed to campaign waged by the
management for>years to reduce acci-
dents. The Hartman system now has
more miles of automatic block signal
protection than any other system in the
world. Mr.. kruttschnitt himself has
directed special attention to the acci-
cent problem and began several years
ago to bring about reduction by CIV
ing complete publicity to i'll forms of
accidents and their investigation, which,
it is believed, spurred both officers and
employees to greater efforts to safe
guard lives intrusted to their care.

Deserted Lighthouse Keeper Dead

AS a direct result of the experience
he passed through last March, when
without food or the means of summon
ing aid, he remained for II days at his
post as assistant keeper of the Norwalk
lighthouse, in Long Island sound, off
South Norwalk. Conn, Leroy c.
Lougborough. 27 year old, died last
Thursday night.
For ten days after being left alone by
John r. Kiarkson, the lighthouse keep
er, who was later arrested in Bridge
port, Mr.. Loughborough, growing
gradually weaker from lack of food
and sleep, kept the light burning and
the fog horn going almost continuously.

Treaty Wins Friendship of the Japs

Toxic, before May 81, which marks the
period of three months allowed in the
treaty for the exchange. The parties
to the ceremony will be the Japanese
minister of foreign affairs, and Thomas
j. O'Brien, the American minister to
Toxic.
AS the Japanese government is anx-
ious to begin the arrangement of its
official program at the earliest possible
moment, it is presumed the exchange
of ratifications will take place almost
as soon as the documents can be trans
ferred from Washington to Toxic,
which should be within a month.
The last step will be the issuance of
proclamntions by President Taft and
the emperor of Japan formally declar-
ing the new treaty in operation.
The real Importance of the treaty
developed when it was learned at the
Japanese embassy that the convention

will remain inact with the Conejos

both the Speer and the Adams leaders
and yet the denials are not convincing.

B. A. Vaughn Dead

Word reached here Sunday giving
the particulars regarding the accident
to Mr.. B. A. Vaughn which resulted in
his death. He was engaged in hauling
lemons and was accidently thrown
under the wagon and dragged for about
one hundred yards. The wagon run
over him diagonslly from the left knee
to the right shoulder breaking three
ribs. His injury was not thought to be
serious up to the time of his death.
By singular coincidence his funeral
occurred just one year from the day he
arrived in California. His friends will
long mourn for him as man of rare
worth, one who was steadfast, mmov-
able, always abounding in good works.

National Road

That there will soon be completed
across the country national automo-
bile road seems now to be certain, and
its completion at an early date is as
sured. Much of the road has been con-
structed from New York City to
Omaha. The entire length of the road
across Illinois, has been constructed of
macadam and large stretches completed
across other states. From Omaha to
Denver, no definite route has been
laid out One projected route is
through Julesburg.
The Commercial club through its
president, B. D. Parker, Jr., is taking
up the matter with all the larger
towns in Nebrarka along the U. P. be-
tween this place and Omaha, with
view to getting that route established.
The Commercial club and its officers
are still proving themselves alive, and
they should be heartily supported in
this enterprise as well as all others
they may undertake.

After Hours of work in an, effort to
reach the bottom of the shaft, rescu-
ing party, frequently driven back by
bad air brought the muli.ated corpses
of George Murcray and John Hook to
the surface of the dump of the An
choria-L Leland mine on Gold hill near
Cripple Creek. Every bone in the
bodies of the two men were broken and
the flesh torn by timbers which the
miners struck in fall of 260 feet.
Murcray and Hook had been lowered
down the shaft to make pipe connec-
ton at the 1000 foot level where they
were overcome by mine gas and fell
back into the mainway. After the
cage on which they had been riding had
stopped several minutes, faint tap of
the signal bell was heard by the engi-
neer, who thinking that something was
wrong hoisted carefully. When the
cage reached the top it bore hat, coat
and two candlesticks, indicating the ac-
cident.
Believing that Murcray and Hook had
been overcome by bad air after reach
ing the 1OOO-foot level, rescuing par
ty was Immediately formed to bring
the two men to the surface before the
gas had killed them The work Of the
rescuing party brought no results for
hours as from l o'clock to $50 p. M.

the S0O-foot level and the surface in or
der that the rescuers might inhale
fresh air before making another of the
many plunges into the poisonous gas.

cleared away the 1000-foot landing was
reached. Here wrench, which one of
the men carried was found lying on the
