IMPORTANT CORN CROP
Elimination of Weeds Is Abso-
luteIy Necessary.
SolI-Mulch Theory of TilIage Has
Been Fundamental One in Ameri-
can Aericulture-SoiI Mois-
ture Is Conserved.
(By T. c. CATES.)

Corn is one of the most important
crops in the United States. Cultiva-
ton is one of the most expensive OPP
erations in the production of corn, 1t
is also the operation which of all
phases of corr growing, has probably
received the least study Or about
which we have the least fundamental
knowledge.
The soil-mulch theory of tillage has
been a fundamental one in American
agriculture. 1t was long ago found
that by means of a mulch, crops could
be grown in alternate years on land
receiving such scant rainfall as to
make it impossible to grow any salts
factory crop by other methods. In
has come to be generally recognized
that in most soils moisture a be
saved by maintaining the top portion
of the soil in a finely divided condi-
ton. 1t has also been found that fire.
quent stirring OF the soil promotes
rapid nitrification. 1t would seem to
follow, naturally. that a system OF
cultivation which promotes nitrifica-
ton and conserves moisture would
be an extremely valuable system to
apply to a titled crop. In practice it
has been found that in most cases fire.
quent shallow cultivation gives better
yields than other methods of corn
tillage. Upon this experience tillage
philosophy has been developed and
tillage practice based.
To ascertain the ideal method of
cultivation for cor in various sec
tions of the country, experiments ag-
gregating 1875 and scattered over %
states, were conducted. These e.
periments were simply removing the
weeds without stirring the soil or pro-
ducing a mulch, as against corn cult.
walton. The measure of the relative
merits Of the two systems was, not
in the preservation of soil moisture
or the effect on nitriication, OF the
making available of plant nutrients,
but the relative yields of corn pro-
duced.
These tests seem to indicate that 1t
is the weed factor which makes the
cultivation of corn necessary, or,

RabeIais Always Humorist.

Rabelais was a monk long before he
wrote his drolleries, but that he was
a humorist first is evidenced by the
many practical jokes which brought
down upon him the punishment of his
spiritual superiors. In his case the
priestly profession became too con-
fined for his talents and he made a
better doctor of the body than he had
been of the soul, but it was his career
as a wit that brings fame into our
day. His Gargantuan stories stand as
his record, and their grim, grave hui
NOR reflect the man; that they read
coarse to us is meregy the accident of
their age. Rabelais hit hard, but he
was returning blow for blow and fierce
irony was a necessary weapon of the

stating the proposition conversely,
that cultivation is not beneficial to
the corn plant, except insofar as re-
moving the weeds are concerned.
The reasons why u~ncultivated land
kept free from weeds should yield
practically as much corn per acre as
that given the most approved modern
cultivation are not clear. The results,
however, point strongly to the con-
clusion that the principal object Of
cultivation is the destruction of weeds.
Where the weeds are kept down by
some other method cultivation seems
to be of no particular advantage. This
Is contrary to the accepted teaching
ON this point, and the conclusion is
stated only tentatively.
If it be true that weeds make the
cultivation of corr necessary the
problem Immediately presents itself
as to what farm management methods
can be pursued to eliminate or reduce
to a minimum the weed pests Of the
farm. Our present implements for
cultivation are designed primarily to
produce a mulch and stir the ground.
Weed killing is a secondary function.
1t is possible that newly designed i'm
plements made with special reference
to weed control, could accomplish
this end with greatly decreased
cost.
In summing up the results of the
experiments of the 125 corn growers,
it is shown that the welded plats pro-
duced 95.1 per cent. as much fodder
and 99.10S per cent. as much grain as
the cultivated ones. If there was any
difference between either set of plats
in regard to thoroughness in keeping
down the weeds it was in favor of the
cultivated plats. Although it remains
to be demonstrated how far this prin-
ciple may be applied in any particular
section, as a general average for all
the regions in which this work was
done it may be concluded that the
proposition just stated is substantial
ly true. If this be accepted, weed
control becomes the principal object
of corn cultivation.

in Egypt 500 years before that.
A long a apparently comes after
that, and coal is not heard of. again
until in England, somewheres about
the time of William the Conquerer in

to any extent in Paris, and in Ger

CAFE PROPRIETOR
SURRENDERS SELF
Part Owner of Little Hungary
Indicted in Recent Raids.
Partner Missing.

David Littman, one of the proprie-
tors of the Little Hungary" raths-
keller indicted by the grand jury for
maintaining disorderly house, sur
rendered himself at the Court House
late yesterday afternoon to Chief Of
County Detectives Frederick Weimer.
Litman appeared at the Court
House all alone and did not have a
bondsman with him. In default of
bonds of $4,000 he was committed to
the county jail for the night. Today
Edward Schoen, his counsel, arranged
bail for him, and shortly before noon
he appeared in Quarter Sessions Court
before Judge Harry v. Osborne, and
after pleading not guilty to the in
dictment, was released on bail. The
date of his trial will be arranged
later.
Samuel Weinfeld, jointly indicted
with Littman, has not yet been ar
rested or surrendered himself. 1t is
understood that Weinfeld, through
his counsel, has promised to surren-
der himself just as soon as he can
arrange for bail.
The evidence against Littman and
Weinfeld was gathered by detectives
of the Cosgrove Detective Agency,
who also gathered the evidence
against the Broad and Navarro ho-
tells, resulting in the sensational raids
of those places week ago tonight.

CITY IGNORES ACT
OF CHILD REMOVAL
Paterson's Mayor Says Strikers
Desired to Create Sympathy
for Agitators.
Especial to the Newark start

PATERSON. N. j., May 3.-No
action will be taken by the authors
ties here against the silk strikers who
have sent their children to New York.
I'VE think it best to ignore their
action" said Mayor Mcbride to an
Evening Star correspondent today.
Their own act will punish them.
"They knew that the city was OPP
posed to sending the children away.
There was no reason for it. We were
personally able to care for the chill
dren, and we offered to do so.
Their scheme was one to create a
sentiment in favor of the agitators
who are responsible for the strike,
but we shall take no action"
The mayor said that he did not
think the strike would last much
longer, although his hope in either a
State or federal investigation has
been abandoned.
When asked in what way the set
tiement would be brought about, he
explained that he believed an Impair
tial investigation to adjust the differ
ence between the operators and their
operatives would be the best method
and the probable method of reaching
a compromise.

CLIMAX REACHED
IN TARIFF FIGHT
Schedule X" Crucial Wool
Problem, Which Defeated G.
o. p, Is Up in House.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-"Schedule
K" the much discussed. always dis
puted wool tariff, upon which the
Democrats maintain the Republicans
stumbled In their fall from power
la st fall and over which their own
party is divided, brought the tariff
fight in the Eouse today to climax.
1t was apparent early in the day
that free raw wool as projected In the
administration bill was in for a three
cornered fight, the Republicans de-
manding duty of about IS per cent,
supported by some OF the Progress
sives, and the wool insurgents OF the
majority demanding a is per cent.
duty, which they claimed was the
original judgment of the ways and
means committee until President Will
son took hand.
Though approved by the Democratic
caucus after two-day fight and al
most certain to come through the
House struggle unscathed, the wool
schedule brought out the heaviest or
atorical artillery of the opposition,
and many predictions that free raw
wool would not stand the fire in the
Senate but would eventually come
back to the House with a duty and
receive the solid Democratic support.
Majority Leader Underwood cham
pioned the schedule with all his force
on behalf of the ways and means
committee and the President. To the
committee in caucus Mr.. Underwood
declared the President was as much
entitled TO consideration in the maxi
ing of the tariff as any other citizen.
Representative Payne offered a
substitute for the new wool schedule,
the Republican woAl bill he intro
duced in the last Congress. Repre-
sentatives Murdoch and Martin also
had amendments.
The schedule was read under an
agreement for three and one-half
hours general debate.
Mr.. Underwood urged that purely
political speeches be avoided.

MdFCn ..
President Wilson has served notice
on the Democratic senators that he
will not agree to any changes in the
Underwood bill. especially not in the
wool and sugar schedules, and while
it looks as if all but two or three of
them would nurse their grouches pri-
vately and vote for the bill, rather
than make an open fight against the
administration, there are some very
sore Democrats in the Senate.
Senator Bill Borah. of Idaho, near
Progressive Republican, sat smoking
in the Senate cloak-room a few days
ago, when he observed three of the
Democratic wool States senators sit
ting silently and modify in a dark
corner. e"Fellow citizens" called
Borah, come over and hold CONVEX

ply for moment. Then one of the
Democratic group looked up. Fellow
citizens nothing" he moaned. Were

ELIZABETH LABOR MEN
AGAINST WILSON JURY BILL
Especial to the Newark STAR

ELIZABETH, N. J., May s.-The
Central Labor Union has unanimous
ly adopted resolutions opposing jury
reform bill without a referendum
and placing the union on record as
favoring bill which would give the
people the right to vote on 1t.
Officials of the union stated that
the chief cause of opposition was
the placing of so much power in
the hands of Supreme Court judges
by allowing them to select the jury
commissioners, as the proposed meas
ure would have them do. Working
men would not receive consideration
from their hands, it was contended.
Believing that the measure as
backed by the President does not
benefit the labor man, Jacob Taylor,
at the last meeting of the Central
Labor Union introduced a resolution
opposing the administration bill.
