AMERICAN CORN GROWING
METHODS IN BESSARABIA

Two or three years ago the Zemstyo
of BessaTabia, Russia, secured the
services OF Louis @. Michael, an agri-
cultural expert and graduate Of an
American agricultural college, to In
struct the farmers of that province
In maize fcornl culture. At the re-
quest Of Consul John H. Grout at
Odessa, Mr.. Michael has furnished a
report relative to the 1912 crop. from
which the following extract Is taken:
AS an experiment We organized 35
boys clubs and instructed $50 youths
in American methods Of selecting and
testing seeds, as well as planting, cul-
fivating, and harvesting. The boys Sc
lected the corn from their fathers
cribs under the direction of their
school teachers and my assistants.
Each boy was responsible for his own
maize. On most of the 35 plots the
maize ripened wei, yielding 46 to 1903
bushels per acre The boys fields
were located in the midst of those be-
longing to and operated by peasants.
The difference between the fields
planted with tested and INFESTED seed
was profound. The peasants Them
selves asked TO be- instructed In this
new method Of maize culture. As a
result Of the many requests. we organ
lied during the summer and autumn

IRRIGATION 1909

From an abstract Of the special irri-
CATION census, taken under an amend
ment TO the thirteenth census act. Il
is found that the number OF farms In

by the Dakotas. Nebraska. Kansas.

states between these and the Pacific
ocean is 1.f4O.S22 and the area
I, I6i, 3S5, 600 acres. Tae land In farms
amounts to 3SS, 60s,99l acres. and the
land irrigated in 1909. comprising
.I5S,7i3 farms, contained an area OF
f3.13s.4S5 acres, while the area
capable OF being irrigated by existing
enterprises was 1884. 69T acres. The
cost of irrigation enterprises was
$780,. S66.369, the average cost per acre
1852 and the average cost Of opera

More than nine-tenths (92,9 per cent
.of the acreage irrigated in 1903 WAS
supplied with water by gravity diver

cases where water was pumped,
streams constituted the source Of
supply for 941 per cent of the total
acreage irrigated. Wells supplied the
next largest acreage, S.3 per cent OF
the total. about one third of this acre
age being water by flowing wells
Springs furnished the supply for II

and reservoirs and lakes each for less

tanned 77.6 per cent and New Mexico
121 per cent. In the case Of the oth-

RICO AND

Improvidently Dumping Their
Sugars in Anticipation of

on the rush Of holders Of Cuba and

seems to be the cause for the recent
fall of the market-in the following
manner:
The proposed tariff BIN, given
herewith In fun. as introduced in the
house of Representative On April Z.
reduces duty on Cuba sugar 55432e per
ID. and an erroneous Impression that
the bin may become a law suddenly, is
causing a spasnaodic desire on the part
or both Cuba and Porto Rico holders
TO dispose OF all the sugar they can
AZ quickly as possible. This view is
not justified by any present outlook.
The bin cannot possibly become 4 Law

PYTHON HAD HAD FULL MEAL
Stomach of Snake Shot by Hunt
ers in Bombay.

The Journal of the Bombay Ma
tional Historical Society published the
following account of the voracity of a
python, by Mr.. P. r. Cadell, 1. G. s.:
"On Nov. TO- 1912, during the Dewall
holidays, while shooting at Popaturan
near Valva, in the Ahmedabad dis
trict, l was wslking after snipe in
company with Mr.. j. H. E. Upper,
|. c. s., when one of the beaters call
ed out that there was a big snake.
We found that it was d large python,
lying torpid. We proceeded to shoot
it, and as it was lying half coiled up,
its body was naturally a good deal in
jured in the process. Seeing feath-
er sticking out of wound, wesitold
one of our men to extract the bird to
which it belonged. He pulled a duck
out of the wound, and took out five
others, one after the other, six ducks
in all. They were all quite, or recent
ly fresh, their feathers being COM
plete and none far gone in digestion.
They locked as if they had all been
swallowed at about the same time.
There were gadwall and spotbill
among the ducks, but we did not note
the description of all the ducks. All
had been swallowed head foremost.
The python, when stretched out and
roughly measured, was fully eight
feet long. Is not this an unusually
heavy meal for a python to make?
Shortly after, while wading in the
water after a wounded duck, / saw a
snake swimming near me, 1t made
little attempt to avoid me, and shot
thon about six feet in length"

Canal Waters Are To Meet This
Week

With the blowing up of the Gamboa
dixie on Oct. /, the waters OF the
Atlantic and Pacific will meet in the
Panama canal and thus practically
complete the great American link
between the oceans.
The Gamboa dixie is the last obstruc-
ton separating the waters of the two
oceans. With its removal the canal
waters will for the first time enter
the Culebra cut, spreading from
Gatum lake to the western gates of
the canal.
At the suggestion of Congressman
Stephens of Los Angeles, the Isthmian
Canal commission is arranging with
Col. Goethaks for the fixing of def
mite hour for the linking of the waters
in order that appropriate celebrations
may take place at the moment in the
United States.
Los Angles, San Francisco, Port
land and Seattle are planning demon
strations for the occasion, and it is
expected that the Atlantic coast and
gulf cities will join in the celebration.
BY Oct. l, the channel from the
Gatum locks to the Atlantic will be
cleared and opened. The Pacific
channel to the Mirafiores locks is al
ready open. The only portion of the
canal then remaining to be flooded
will be that which includes the
Culebra cut, and the removed of the
Gamboa dixie will stretch the waters
from sea to sea.
The excavation of the Culebra cut
is practically complete. The cor
struction tracks have been removed
and steam-shovel excavation on the
bottom of the cut has ceased. After
the water is turned on any further
excavation necessary will be done
with dredges.
