BULLETIN ON WHEAT.
prepared by s. NJ. Jordan, Man
ager Pettis County Bureau OF
Agriculture. }

The average cost of growing an
acre of wheat according to the
best figures we can get is about
$40. This counts rental or inter
est on investment, labor and wear
on machinery, but does not reckon
the loss of soil fertility.
The average price of wheat runs
about SO cents a bushel, at central
markets; so that it takes nearly
IA bushels per acre to come out
even. All above this may be
counted as profit. The state aver
age for the years from 1902 to
1911, except '03, 'O5 and 'O8.
which | do not have at hand, give
1871 bushels per acre. This at 90
cents, is $13.816. If the average
cost is $12, this leaves a profit of
Sl.Sl6 per acre.
What are the causes Of these
low yields and can we side step
any or all of them to at least some
degree?
In most instances the answer
must be Eyes" In the first place
the seed bed is not prepared as it
should be. The second is perhaps
that the seed we too commonly
SOW is not we'll bred, and not well
graded.
Bad or wrong cropping plans
have caused loss in fertility and
we do not take steps to replace
that fertility by the right rota-
lions, nor do we apply fertilizers.

We can take more effective meas
ures than we now take to combat
insect pests.
The Seed Bed.
This is perhaps as important or
the average as any one thing
W. can not always do as we would
like, but if We could, in most OF
our soils we would remove a wheat
crop at the earliest possible mo
%n,ent; double disc the ground a
once, and pillow deep; work thu
seed bed down well, and drill il
one bushel Of New Era cowpea'
per acre. Then ahead of fros
plow cowpeas under unless whea
is to 60 into the same ground. l
wheat is again to be sown in thi
ground it might be better to max
lay of the peas if they wer'
heavy enough to interfere witt
the new wheat, but if the cowpea'
were a light crop the wheat ma!
be drilled right in them with
disc drill. The peas will be killet
at the first frost, and the leave
will fall to the ground and tn
stems will remain standing during
the winter to aid in holding snow
If the peas are removed for ha.
and the ground was plowed TO
them, it should not be replowe'
as a rule, but prepared for tn
wheat with disc harrow. This, o
course, must be determined by sol
and season.
If the crop of peas is plowed ur
der for corn the following spring
d then the corn cut off in tn
fall and wheat sown, it wi

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Threats OF

members of New York's legislature
and on Murphy OF Tammany hall ac-
cording to statement by former Gov.

that prevents complete expose OF
legislative corruption in this state by
former Senator Stephen J. Stilwell,

Ing bribe. Sulzer as part of the red
hot election fight today, gave out an
autograph letter from Stilwell asking
him for pardon in which Stilwell
wrote:
i have been promised by the agents
of the dominant power, my early re-
lease. Word was sent me before the
recent political agitation that the gov
ernor would be impeached and my
prompt release would follow"
Stilwell, Sulzer said today, offered a
full and free confession, duplicating
many members of the legislature If he
were pardoned. Sulzer said hS refus-
ed the pardon unless the confession
came first. Then" said Sulzer, "sever-
al times in the latter part of August
and the first part Of September, friends
Of Stilwell came to see me. They had
talked with him in the prison and told
me what Stilwell was willing to tell
about graft and grafters in Albany.
These people told me that Stilwell was
afraid to confess in Sing Sing for fear
Of assassination. Trey went into
many details about him. Stilwell, 1t
seems, had been warned by the under
world that II he peached he would
never get out of the prison alive
Sulzer continued: These friends OF
Stilwell told me that ought to par
don Stilwell in the public interest as
we'll as my own. They informed me
that Stilwell had been advised to
keep still and my successor will par
don him. They can tell you of the rep
reservations the emissaries of chiefs
have made to Stilwell regarding his
pardon by my successor in office and
also regarding the refusal by the ap-
pellate division of the supreme court.
Il refer you especially to Rev. o. R.
Miller, Albany; Warden Clancy, Sing
Sing prison; Colonel William M. Ar
mory and Charles H. Uyersagl, of this
city.
THE story of the Stilwell trial
from beginning to end IS a remark
able chapter of the workings of the
system and the sale of law as well as
of the Vaccinations of chief and his
emissaries. / believe that If Stilwell
will now tell the people of the state all
that he wanted to tell me, that public
sentiment in New York would de-
mand his pardon and l sincerely hope
he will have the manhood and cour-
age to do So"

ried religiously at 1880 a. NJ. today
to the young Duke of Croy In St
Joseph's Catholic church. The civil
ceremony occurred yesterday at Yer

with blessing for the bridal pair
and congratulations upon the brides
entrance into the Catholic church.
Thousands Of curious persons crowd
ed about outside the church while
the ceremony was being performed.
Twelve members OF the BRIDES fam

cause she married the man of her

tion here.
"The way to build such city on
the canal zone." declared Publisher
Boyce, SIS to make the zone Into a
free city and free port. BY that
mean free from import or export du-
ties in and out of the canal zone.
"The way is no experiment. 1t is
no wild theory. The plan has been
successfully proved by Germany and
England. If created free port and
protected through International treaty
no change of administration would af-
feet conditions, merchants and manu-
facturers from all over the world
would build factories and ware houses
and establish branches and agencies

button and sale. In fact it would be-
come an immense worlds department
store, where everything for the use
OF all people OF all nations could be
found It would become the greatest

free city will do toward creating a
