Temperament Is Such as to
Win Constant Friends for
New Haven System
GREAT SUCCESS OF
NORTHERN PACIFIC
Men of Large Interests May Have
Preferred Another Man But New
England's Demand Was
Too Strong
BY HOLLAND

New York, July 29-- Especial )-Howard
Elliott is to be executive head of the New
Haven railroad system not because the
New York men of finance who have large
interests in that system have urged his
selection, but because Boston and New
England seemed to be almost a unit in
wishing that the New Haven directorate
would select President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific as the successor Of
President Mellen of the New Haven sys-
tenn.
In all probability it was the frequent
and very earnest expressions of Boston
and New England opinion which per-
suaded Theodore N. Vail that President
Elliott was the railroad authority who, if
he would give his consent, should IN
placed in charge of the New Haven sys-
tenn. Mr.. Wallis friends in this city re-
ported him as having said, after he was
named as chairman oe the committee APP
pointed to recommend some one for the
new executive head of the New Haven
that he had been brought into contact re-
Gently with the men of Boston and many
of the men of New England who are
properly esteemed as the influential fac
tors in New England commercial finan-
cial and industrial life. He learned from
these personal meetings that by instant
and general agreement of opinion these
men of large affairs in Boston and in
New England regarded President Elliott
as the one man pre-eminently fitted to
take the chief executive command of the
New Haven system.
from the presidency of the Northern Pa
cific railroad to that of the New Haven
system it was the common and, in fact,
the correct understanding that his selec-
tion represented the wishes of men of cap
ital of New York city who We're inter-
ested largely in the New Haven system,
although William Rockefeller was ex-
cepted, he having desired the election of
another than Mr.. Mellen.
The choice of President Elliott as the
successor of President Mellen cannot be
said to have been influenced in any way
by the fnancers of New York city who
are of influence in the New Haven direc-
torate. The New York interests were en-
tirely willing to accept whatever recon-
mendation Theodore N. Vail made, having
the greatest confidence in Mr.. Wallis tudg-
ment of men, and remarkably accurate
understanding of commercial conditions
of all kinds.

Preparation of the Seed Bed.

Fall blowing is preferable to spring
blowing because it is better fitted to
catch and absorb the moisture from
rain or melting snow during the win
ter. Flowing should be deep and the
land should then be well worked in
the spring with a harrow or disk be-
fore planting. Time spent in prepar-
ing fine, even seed bed Is well
worth while as it aids termination
and insures a more uniform stand,
and also destroys a large number OF
young weeds. Where soils are subject
to blowing, listing is preferable to or.
binary blowing. Listing differs from
blowing in that the furrow is
made from 2 IL to IL feet away
from the first The land is thus left
in alternate burrows and unbroken
ridges, the loose soil from the ada
cent burrows being piled on top of the
ridges
Since the prevailing winter winds
are from the southwest or the north.

Good Seed.

The Importance of pure seed OF
strong vitality or terminating power
is very great. The best farm method
of obtaining pure seed is to go through
the field before the crop is harvested
and gather enough typical heads to
furnish seed for the following season.
AS the kafirs cross readily with other
sorghums. no heads for seed purposes
should be selected from within Is or
20 rods of a field of any other sor-
ghum crop. The selected heads should
be strung on cord or wire, hung to
the rafters or wall of dry shed, and
left unthrashed until spring. Before
planting the seed should be tested for
its terminating power between pieces
of blotting paper or cloth placed be-
tween plates and kept moist. The seed
should be set in warm room and al
lowed to terminate for from four to
six days. Well-selected and well-stored
seed will show a termination of 80 to
100 per cent.
Concluded tomorrow
