POOR SEED SOLD
IN WISCONSIN
Many Peaches in Kansas
Modern Miller Reports
on Wheat.

Madison, Wis, April 30.-Muct
poor seed has been sold in Wisconsin
this spring. according to the state
seed inspector. Prof. A. L. Stone. OF
the colleeg of agriculture Of the Uni
verstty of Wisconsin. The state law
requires that all seed for field crops
which is sold in Wisconsin In pack
ages Of n pound or more shall be
labeled with the termination ability
and purity Of test.
A sample OF clover seed recently
ed by the dealer to be 0 per cent
pure and to give a termination Of SO
per cent. Upon examination It was
found that there were II pounds of
seed other than clover in every 100
pounds. By actual count there were
4,047 dodder seeds in every pound.
Many Peaches in Kansas.
Manhattan. Kansas, April 30.-A
peculiar situation as to peaches exists
In Kansas this spring. The central
part Of the state will have a full
crop. according to present indications.
while the northeastern section will
have none. the harder varieties still
show enough buds to make a crop in
favored localities. An explanation of
the unusual conditions is offered by
c. V. Holsinger, horticulturist with
the extension department Of the agri-
cultural college.
THE favored peach section this
year." Mr.. Holsinger said yesterday,
will be a belt beginning in the CEN
trail part Of the state. extending east
to Topeka and north to the Nebraska
line. In some parts Of hat belt. 80
per cent of the bloom buds went.
Outlook.
st. Louis. Mo-, April 30.-Advices
Of improvement to the soft winter
wheat crop are principally from the
southern regions where warmth and
moisture brought out a better growth
than had been anticipated but ever
in these parts a considerable short
age in yield appears certain. In the
northern sections the growth is small.
or none at all. the ground having been
SO cold as to retard growth and much
wheat is failing to terminate. The
largest percentage of winter killing is
in these sections. Hard winter
wheat is in satisfactory condition in
most of the territory though winter
killing is reported in various parts Of
Kansas and Nebraska, mostly the
former.

lives. Dead bodies in the water were
seen in great numbers.
The girls were given tickets to their
destination, and $40 for expense

money had been exhausted, but the

the girls were we'll taken care Of and
provided with meals.
Miss Anna Sjoblom was destined for

RAILROAD STOCKS

Central Of New Jersey Jumps
Thirteen Points-Rail-
road Stocks Strong.

New York. April 30.-Aside from
another sharp advance in the prom
inent anthracite shares and more or
less obvious manipulations at higher
prices in various s%pecialties, the gen.
eral tone of the market was hesitating
and dull. Last weeks sensational
trading in Reading was resumed on a

in these securities seemed to be no less
speculative than before.
Such erstwhile leaders as United
States Steel. Union Pacific and Anal
gamated copper were relatively heavy.
Traders seemed indisposed to buy or
sell steel pending the publication of
Its quarterly statement today. AS for
Union Pacific, Its earnings for March
were not calculated to inspire any
ventures on the bull side. The back
wardness Of Amalgamated Copper was
the o striking in view of the ac-
tivity and strength of some outside
copper properties. There were gains
of l to 4 points in a score of special-
ties, including National Biscuit, Amer
lean Writing Paper preferred, Amer
lean Sugar, Virginia. Carolina Chemi.
cal and Pullman Palace car.
In the last hour the entire market
gave a better account of itself with
greater strength in steel and Union
Pacific while Reading rose to its best
Of the day and eclipsed all the previ-
u high prices by v three points.
The closing was dull but strong. with
a jump of thirteen points in Central
of New Jersey which is controlled in
large part by the Reading company.
Delaware and Hudson. another coal
road rose l Ia points and there were
sympathetic advances in the general
list.
Although the differences between
the railway managers and the engi-
neers are believed to be moving
toward a satisfactory adjustment 1t IS
realized that some important points in
the controversy remain to be settled.
There were other adverse speculative
factors, including the latest turn in
the International Harvester dissolution
proceedings and Il few unsatisfactory
railroad reports.
Harvester declined over two points
early in the date and made but slight
recovery. Northern Pacific reported a
small net decrease for March. but the
Rock Island system lost over $350,000
in net for that month.
Railway managers in the middle
west confirmed the many accounts re-
ceived here last week of irreparable
damage to winter wheat, but reported
an increasing demand for equipment.
On the whole the tonnage movement
compared f%avorably with the same pc
Rad last year.
London was a liberal seller here but
