Crops in the Panhandle

The excellent outlook for crops
on the plains, coupled with the
drouths that have prevailed in
many sections of the country
during the past two or three sea
sons and the extreme winter that
has, in many instances, damaged
the wheat crop in the northern
states, will have much to do with
turning the people toward the
Panhandle this year from the
less favored countries.
If farmers on the plains will
still insist on trying to farm the
bulk Of their acreage by unscien-
tihc methods, they should at
least farm a small field or two
right to show themselves and

FIVE tons of alfalfa or from one
fourth TO one-third of a ton OF
broomcorn. These yields are
within the range of any farmer
who is favorably situated and
who uses the latest and most ap-
proved methods of farming.
Most Of these records were
equalled last year in the Pan
handle when the conditions were
less favorable than they are at
this time.
When more of our farmers
learn the value Of scientific
farming and it comes to be prac-
ticed generally throughout the
country this will become. more
than ever, a farming country,
and as many have predicted, the
garden spot of Texas.

CHARGE OF POLITICS IN
SCHOOL APPOINTMENT
fFrom the NEWS rorrespondent.J

Trenton, June iI:-Friends Of
Joseph NJ. Arnold, superintendent Of
the schools of Mercer county, among
the educators of the county charge
hat politics are being played to
prevent the reappointment of Mr..
Arnold and to give his place to Pro-
fessor Charles ]. Baxter, formerly
State Superintendent of Public In
struCtion. The term of Superinten-
dent Arnold Will expire July l, and
1t is claimed that pressure is being
brought to bear to have Professor
Baxter named in his stead.
The politics in the game, accord
Ing to the statements of the friends
OF Mr.. Arnold, goes back to the
legislative session last winter when
an act was enacted changing the
method OF the appointment of coun-
ty superintendents and increasing
their salary from $4,000 a year to
$4,000 a year. This act also re-
quires the superintendent to give
all their time to the school work.
This act a approved by Governor
Wilson April 2, last. The bill was
introduced by Assemblyman Ander-
son, of Somerset county, and had
the support of Assemblyman William
F. Groves, of Union county. Mr..
Groves is the ~son-in-law of Professor
Baxter and the Arnold supporters
charge that he is electioneering at
the State House and elsewhere for
the appointment of his father-in-law.
Under the old law the county su-
perintendents were appointed by the
State Board of Education, but the
law enacted last winter changed this
and provides that they shall be
named by the State Commissioner of
Education, with the advice and con-
sent Of the State Board. The ap-
pointment in the first place, there
fore, is up to State Commissioner
Calvin N. Kendall, and the State
Board can only pass upon the per-
o whom he selects.
1t is alleged that one Of the rea-
sons for changing the law was to
pave the way for the appointment of
Professor Baxter. The first plan
was to make him superintendent of
the schools of Essex county, but
there was a miscue, so that this plan
failed. Then the plan to give him
the Mercer county berth was taken
up and is being pushed. The State
Board of Education will hold a post
poned meeting at the State House
next Saturday and the matter may
come up at hat time.

SET ASIDE VERDICT IN
.ASBURY PARK ACCIDENT
from the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, June 1.-THE Supreme
Court has set aside the verdict re-
covered for the death Of j. Ely TIL
ton, who was killed by a ~Pennsylva-
mia railroad train in Asbury Park,
and has ordered a new trial. The
decision is based On the ruling that
Tilton was clearly negligent in the
accident and hat the verdict OF the
Monmouth county Jury was not sup
ported by the evidence. Tilton was
killed at the Springwood avenue
crossing of the New York and Long
Branch railroad, Asbury Park, July
8, 1910, while driving over the
tracks. The plaintiff is the widow
and brought the suit for damages
as his administrator.
The opinion filed In the Supreme
Court says that the case turned on
whether the locomotive head light
was burning. Witnesses for the
plaintiff claimed 1t was not, but the
defendant company produced more
witnesses who testified that it was
burning. The company claimed that
Tilton must have been asleep in his
wagon as there is a clear view of the
tracks at the scene of the accident.
