The Great Gambler

The greatest gambler in the
bunch is the Farmer. He puts up
his time, his money, his work and
his brain power. If. the rain comes
at proper seasons and the bugs
don't come, If there isn't too much
moisture or too little, if there is
neither flood nor drought, no frost
nor rust, nor hail, nor hoppers,
nor anything else that goes against
him, he wins. If any of these
things happen, or any of the many
that are possible, he loses. Any
season he may lose all he has put
into the pot. Any season he may
have favorable conditions and win
big.
But when the farmer plows and
plants and cultivates he has no
"cinch," it is all q gamble, Even
when he wins and gets crop he
may face a falling market, or the
cholera take his hogs, and then he
loses again.
In spite of all this chance and
speculation the Farmer quietly
does his work, not knowing wheth-
er he will make a barrel of money
or have to borrow to buy his seed
for next year. Unconsciously he
is not only a gambler but he is
Real Sport for he takes his losses
as a matter of course and he
spends his winnings on luxuries
for his family.

$500 a Bushel

member the 222 bushels-an-acre-
Alaska-wheat story of q year or
two ago, don't you9 Remember
how some smooth persons sold
that seed for $1,000 a bushel-
so much pound9
Well, here's another, only worse
and farmers in Kansas, Oklahoma
and Illinois are falling for it
sorghum seed at $500 a bushel!
The postoffice department inspect
ors are after 1.-THE swindle, not
the seed. Said Arthur Fl. Leidigh,
assistant professor of agronomy in
the state agricultural college, this
morning:
Watch out for the man who
sells little packets of this sorghum
seed : a thousand seeds to a packet
retail price $500 a bushel. Some
one has been soliciting, for four
months, for persons to take state
and county rights to sell this seed
at a dollar a packet. Every man
who buys a county right must
buy one hundred packets of seed
and agree to sell nine hundred
more. He signs a contract. He
obligates himself to sell the thous-
and packets at a dollar EACH"
Professor Leidigh has been CO.
operating with G. r. Ball, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, who has charge of the
grain sorghum investigations in
trying to run down the perpetrat-
ors Of the latest swindle. Mr..
Ball reported yesterday that he
had run down a company in Okla
homa that is selling seed in the
manner described, by the packet.
AS a good grade of the seed sold
by this company can be bought
for $l.20 bushel, the attractive
ness of the graft can DO estimated.
The sorghum used by the prom
oters is called Shallu. 1t has been
sold also as California Wheat,
Mexican Wheat, " and Egyptian
Wheat" 1t has been grown more
or less throughout the sorghum
producing area of the United
States for several years, and in
the Southern States for a longer
period. Where conditions are
favorable for its growth, the crop
has at first aroused great expecta-
tons. However, when harvest
time arrives it is discovered that
the heads, which have a plume
like appearance, are made up
mostly of chat and plumes, and
that the seeds are hardly as large
or as plentiful as those contained
in common kaffir. The result is
that, while the field produces large
amounts of headed grain, as far as
bulk is concerned, it rarely ever
makes more than two-thirds as
much threshed grain as kaffir.
Shallu sorghum came originally
from India and is practically the
only variety from that country
grown to any extent in the United
States. The seed is white and
somewhat fatter than the seed of
ka6r. The test weight by the bu-
shell is quite high, sometimes reach
ing sixty-two pounds a bushel.
The growth of the plant in many
ways resembles that of the durras,
or milo, and Jerusalem corn.
Shallu has been grown extern
siyely for fodder and hay, but it
is usually discarded after a few
years and either Sumac, Orange,
or kaffir grown in its stead. AS a
grain crop it can hardly be recon-
mended as superior to kaflir or
milo, although its seed is of fairly |
good feeding quality.
The real mission of Shallu Just
now is to earn big money for the
promoters. Mr.. Leidigh advises
anyone who has had dealings with |
the man In knrn tho inforrnak;ov, |

LEGALITY OF REQUEST
INVOLVED IN THE CASE
Suit to Settle Title of Two
Pieces of Real Estate For
merry Owned by Mrs. Eddy.

BOSTON. March A.-At the suggestion
Of Chief Justice Knowlton Of the supreme
court. counsel for the board Of directors OF
the Christian Science Church began pro-
ceedings today In the supreme court to
require Attorney General Swift Of this
state to become party to q friendly suit
involving the title to two pieces Of rea
estate In this city and Newton formerly
owned by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy. the
founder Of the church. While the friend
ly suit on the part Of directors of the
church against three trustees of the Eddy
property is for the recovery Of the real
estate the lawyers on both sides admitted
In their argument before the supreme
court that involved in the case Is the
legality of that provision in the will OF
Mrs. Eddy which makes the church the
residuary legatee of the estate valued al
more than $2.OOO.0OO. This legality rests
on the question whether the statute which
prohibits religious organizations from re-
ceiving requests in which the income Is
more than 5000 annually applies to the
Eddy will.
The attorney general, however, Is not q
party to this portion of the suit but will
appear on the question Of the residence
of Mrs. Eddy at the time of her death
last December and the right of Massa-
chusetts to collect the inheritance tax in
stead Of New Hampshire.
