II you could dig 500 feet OF ditch

DRILLING GRAIN BEST.
Many Advantage In Favor Of the Use
OF Good Drill or Seeder.
BY W. r. Brown.

National Crop improvement service.1
Whether to SOW our grain broadcast
or with drill is hardly a debatabls
question In recent years, the advan-
tages in favor OF the use OF good
drill are now so well recognized. By
means OF the drill the seed is put In
evenly, at a uniform depth the fer
tilizer is place ed just where Il will be
soonest available for the growth OF
tho plant; and the ground is left In
small ridges between the rows.
Ridges Hold Snow.
These ridges hold the snow so
that often a light covering will pro-
tect the plant in the turrows. Another
advantage from these ridges comes
when the freezing and thawing OF
mild days causes the earth to crum-
BILE on the ridges and fall into the fur
rows around the roots OF the wheat.
Farmers who drag or roll their fields
after drilling the wheat lose these ad
vantages All work OF that kind
should be done before seeding.

goes several strange experiences Once he
believes himself to be a man named Ar
thur Tremlett, about to drown himself in
the East River. At another time he
watches q German pianist, who said that
he could not play n tune by ear, under
the influence OF Marcus Ballair, play with
the ease Of q master and then die OF
heart failure, After that Gettys leaves
the house and sails for the West Indies.
Detective Sergeant Remmers recounts
some remarkable instances OF Bellair's
wonderful powers OF insight He tells OF
his prevention of Arthur Tremlett's sui
eide, and OF Tremletts amazement later
At meeting in a hotel lobby man named
Robert Ford of Trinidad in the British
West Indies. II 10 Ford, Remmers re-
lates, who is brought to headquarters
few days later q hopeless lunatic, charged
with the murder Of Marcus Bellair.

PRESBYTERIANS PLAN
TO PENSION PASTORS
Ten Million Dollar Fund to Be
Discussed at Con-
ference.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 16.-The es-
tablishment of a $10OoO,0O0 fund for
the pensioning of retired ministers and
the selection of a new moderator are
two of the most important matters that
will receive early attention of the 124th
annual conference of the General AS
sembly of the Presbyterian Church,
which began here today. The work OF
the conference will consume at least
one month.
Unusual interest attaches to this con-
+ ference for the reason that never be-
fore has the general assembly been
; held south of the Ohio river. A move
ment to merge the United Presbyterian
Church with the General Assembly
Presbyterian Church Is looked for by
many who see in the selection of Louis,
Vile for the meeting a relenting on the
part Of the opposition.

May Send Cruiser
To Collect Debts

Unless the Ecuadorean government
meets its obligations to the American
railroad in that country, this Govern
ment will in a very short time, take
drastic action and even now is pre-
naring to send the cruiser Maryland to
Guayaquil to back up it's demands. This
information was learned today at the
State Department.
The situation is rapidly nearing the
point where funds must be had or else
the railway must suspend service. The
United States will not hesitate to make
a show of arms to re-enforce Its diplo-
matte negotiations for settlement OF
the situation.
Word was received here today that a
new revolt had broken out In the repub-
lie, but this Is not worrying the SKATE
Department inasmuch as the admins
tration is believed to be too stable to be
affected by q rebellion.

Tour hours after his entry to that in
