The last two varieties given wer,
the varieties that We have been grow
ing and Of our own seed.
The general average for the
white varieties were $40 bu. pei
acre, while the first four Yellow va
rieties average S64 per acre, a differ
ence Of 1 1-2 bu. per acre.
The conclusion drawn from this
test is: That Yellow Corn does
slightly the best on our thinner
types Of soil.
Another thing brought out is the
difference between the two different
tests OF Reds. The latter was
from seed Of our raising the
college furnished the seed for the
6 varieties. and was originally from
the same source as the other. and
yet they differed in yield to the
amount Of ? IA bu per acre. This

ERRATIC MARKET CON

that "there is not single i'm

its origin to a special consider

that the cotton trade in Okla

though many thousand bales of
higher grade are produced. 1t
is found that in the same day
the range in prices paid in the
local markets for different bales

different localities from seventy

The Galveston prices are ap-

THE PANAMA CANAL

According to former Ambas-

clearly bound to stand by its
treaties with England in refer
ence to Panama Canal tolls. and
though this country may have
made bad bargain in entering
into a treaty with Great B Btitain,
he declares that nations as well
as individuals must stand by
their wold. Mr.. Ghoate crfti
clSes his own country for its
position in the Panama Canal
policy. He says that he was in
London at the time Of the negO-
tiation Of the treaty, and re-
presented Turner Secretary Hav,

preliminary to adoption. The

THE SHORT UUT TO

The volume Of tourist travel
to the Isthmus of Panama Is
surprising all previous records.
Almost every one in Official
Washington has visited the
great ditch, with tile exception
of President Wilson, whose
plans to spend the holidays in
the Canal Zone have been inter
rupted by Congress. A con-
venient short cut to the Panama
Canal for tourists in the south,
middle west and far western
states, is made possible by the
gpecial pleasure cruises sailing
from New Orleans. Two spec
ial cruises will be made by The
Hamburg American Line, be-
ginning in January, which will
enable tourists in those sections
to visit the Panama Canal and
the West Indies without neces-
stating a journey to the eastern
seaboard. The cruises will be
made by the palatial steamer

sures all the luxury of modern

Pan-American State to

New York, Dec. 20 The
Pan-American Stales AsSocia-
tion, which recently bought the
site at 9th and 5Stl streets and
Broadway, expects today to
complete plans for erecting the
tallest building in the world.
The proposed structure, which
will be known as Las Americas,
will he S0l feet in height. The
height of the Woolwortb Build
ing is 780 feet. The orginial
plans for the structure, prepared
by Francis H. Kimball, called
for building 90l feet in height
The building will be used as a
centre for prominent exhibits of
the products of Central and
South America and Mexico.
The cost estimated, including
the land, according TO Robert
Lee Dunning the manager of
the association, will be, SIG, ,00O.-
900.
1t is expected that rentals for
each floor will bring from $780,

REGULATING NATIONAL
BANKS.

1t is considered very probable
that the present session of Con-
gress will take up seriously some
of the features furnished by the
money trust" investigation,
among which is the considera-
tion of a bill to prohibit inter-
locking directors of nafional
banks, as authorized last sum-
mer by the democratic caucus
of the House. There are many
other features for regulating
national banks proposed as a
result of the money trust inves-
tigation. In that investigation
it was determined that a few
bankers in the vicinity of Wall
street almost dominated the fl
nanclai situation of the country
aud while iG is doubtful whether
any material results were OBJ
tanned that will resnit in attend
ing this condition, yet it is the
intention of the committee in
CT arge to re ommend TO Con
gress a good many other bills that
will make it more difficult for big
bankers to ''get together" with
their resources in the minipula-
tion of big business enterprises.
