APPROVES UNION OF PRESBYTER|ANS Meet Next at Louisville. Grant Heresy Trial
 Resumed

Atlantic City, N. J., May 24.-A telegram from the general synod of the Reformed church of the United States, meeting in Canton. O., stating that the proposed union between their body and the north ern Presbyterian church would be ap- proved was hailed with delight by the general assembly in session here. The suggested union will now be voted on by the presbytery and probably will be con- firmed next year.
 The Presbyterian general assembly voted today to meet next year in Louis vile, Ky. The assembly will be held in the Warren Memorial church in that city.
 The fourteen members of the judicia commission of the Presbyterian genera assembly met in executive session today | 10 consider the evidence in the heres! trial of Dr. William D. Grant of Northum berland, Pa. Judge H. M. Hinckley O Danville, Pa, the attorney prosecuting the hersey charge, says the main point al issue is the question "were pr. Grants teachings contrary to the word of God? ?'' In his address to the commissioners, Judge Hinckley said that when Dr. Grant predicted that the time would come when the world would have 10000 christs he took the same view as Campbell Morgan of the London temple.
 pr. Grants defense was sweeping denial of the heresy charge.
 The board of home missions and the committee on publication and Sabbath
 
 day. The former body, in outlining the work mapped out for the coming year, told what would be done with a part of the bequest of s2.0s9,000 given it by the late John s. Kennedy, member of the board.
 The report says that in the west. north west and southwest calls for spiritual aid are greater than last year. The Rev Dr. Webb of Louisville in his speech inviting the assembly to meet in Louisville next year said;
 "They say Kentucky is famous for its beautiful women, fine horses and good whisky. If you make that good women I will agree. We do make whisky, bu' we know enough to let it alone, and though there is racing in Kentucky, nc Christians attend the meets As Sam Jones says, so many rapscallons hane around those race tracks. | "Out of 116 counties in the state,' con tinued Dr. Webb, "96 are dry and we would make others dry also If you north erners would only quit buying our whisky. It's too profitable a business, apparently, for our citizens to give up. | "We cant afford the ocean to bathe in, but we have the largest bath tub factory and soap works in the world and these with the Ohio river should keep you clean"

GOOD OATS FOR DRY FARMING
Best Plan to Sow Two varietie,
kherson for Early Crop and swed.
ish Select for Late.

(By ]. e. PAYNE. Colorado Agricultural
College,
OF the many varieties of oats
which we have tested on irrigated
land, the Kherson and Sixty-day have
generally made the best yields Of
grain. This has been because these
varieties are early-maturing. Usual
ly, the earliest variety of oats will
give the best results on unirrigated
land; but some years the drought
comes just as the early varieties are
heading or filling. They are then cut
short. 1t often happens that rain
comes just a few days too late to
make the early oats fill well. In such
a time, a variety which ripens ten
days or two weeks later will be head
ing just at the right time to be bene
flied by the rain which was too late
for the early variety. In this case,
the later variety will make a good
crop when the early one will fall
With these facts before US. we can
see that it is a good plan to SOW two
varieties of oats: Kherson for early
and Swedish Select, or Colorado NO
81, for the late variety; then. u
drought strikes either variety. 1t ma!

varieties Of oats will usually MAKE
