Common vetch is nearly always
grown in rotation. Continuous crop
ping to vetch for seed production usu-
elly results in reduced yields after
two or three years, according to Ore
gon experience. The effects of cut
ting the crop for hay seem to be far
less marked, but, nevertheless, con-
tinuous cropping to vetch is unneces-
sary and undesirable.
In Oregon and Washington common
vetch is usually grown after spring
sown oats. 1t is advantageously used

ton In the south, the crop is mostly
grown in rotation with Johnson grass,
this being especially true on valley
lands where the Johnson grass volun-
teers. Vetch. commonly mixed with
oats or other small grain, is usually
planted in October on well-prepared
land and harvested by the middle of
May. After the vetch crop is remov-
ed, the Johnson grass. more or less
mixed with other grasses, begins to

cuttings during the season.
Where Johnson grass does not per-
manently occupy the land it is not ad
visable to SOW 1t, as it Is extremely
difficult to eradicate. In this case va
rious summer crops can be grown in

Common vetch is not we'll adapted
to rotating with cotton unless used
merely as green manure. The vetch
cannot be harvested soon enough to

Common vetch Is somewhat in

Examples are known Of its reseeding

is to follow with crop Of vetch and

When Weber and Fields got to-

separation, they hired as many of the
survivors of their old company as they

even for the collection which she
adorned. He turned to William Ray

ARM0R MAY BE ABANDONED
Cost and Weight on Eattleships Out Of
All Proportion to Value as
Protector.

Will battleships soon be built with
out armor protection? Many naval
experts believe that they will. The
protective power Of armor plate has
increased only 23 times in fifty years,
whereas the power of gun fire has in
creased in the same period eight
times. The result is that no armor
the ship can carry is of sufficient
thickness to stop the high power pro-
jectiles.
The question now agitating the ma
val constructors is whether the eff
cheney OF the fighting ship will not
be increased by doing away with the
armor weight. which amounts to
about 80 per cent. of the displacement
of the most recent vessels. This weight
handicap, which makes the war vessel
"loggy" in a seaway and perhaps dan
gerous, could be used in added gun
and steam power.
1t is argued by the no-armor crowd
that the best defense Of the vessel Is
in its own gun fire. If this can be
made powerful enough the ship will
need no other protection for it will be
able to demoralize the enemy and
prevent 1t from firing accurately
enough to do any damage.
1t is argued that the recent demon
strations in which the United States
used Tho former hattlaship Texas as a
target and the British demolished the
Edinburgh showed that the cost and
weight OF armor are out Of all pro-
portion to its value as a protector,
The high power shells were able to
penetrate the steel walls without diff
Guilty.
The first armored ships carried
wrought iron protection. The Moni-
tor and the Merrimac were the first
on this side and the Warrior was the
first British iron clad. The latter
had As inch armor and It's nine inch
gun could penetrate eight inches Of
such armor at 5000 yards. The pres
ent vessels have armor Of from eight
cen to twenty-four inches. The pres
ent 13 inch gun at 5000 yards can
penetrate about twenty-six inches Of
this protection. or what is equivalent
to sixty-one inches of wrought iron.
The century old struggle between the
attack and the defense has been go
ing steadily in favor of the attack.

Golf That Is Mostly Ball Huntina.

There are two sorts Of golf. One Is
where you do not hunt for the bali.
Those who play the other sort are
never found in the championship rec
ords. They traverse the links with
amateur caddies or with no caddies
at all. They sally out in twos, threes
or fours, and play all against all.
They expect to spend most Of the
lime in ball hunting, which they have
reduced to a science. They spread
out in line and walk the suspected
area, each rallying to the others need.
Only when the ball is found does the
game continue, and the players are
lucky if they do nine holes before
luncheon.

MOTION DENIED.
Myrick and Cunningham Get No Further
Trial

Boston. July l6.Judge Morton Of the
United States district court yesterday
denied the motion of Herbert Myrick
and James NJ. Cunningham of Spring
field for new trial. Mr.. Myrck, as
publisher, and Mr.. Cunningham, as cir
culation manager of the Orange Judd
Northwest Farmstead, were recently con-
victed on a charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government by making false
statements in two applications for sec
ond class mailing privileges for their
publication.
In denying the motion for a new trial,
the court suggested an appeal on the
questions OF law that were raised during
the trial
There is doubt" said the judge, "as
to the sufiiciency OF the evidence upon
the first count; but it seemed TO me at
the trial that, there was enough to re-
quire the submission of that county to
the Jury. The other questions of law
are important and ought to be settled
by an appellate court. | am by no
means certain that an error in law has
been made as to warrant me setting the
verdict aside"

WYOMING COAL MINES ACTIVE.
Production for 1912 Valued at Nearly
$4,000, ooo-State Has Vast Coal
Reserve.

! Reserve.
The coal production of Wyoming in
1912, according to Edward w. Parker
of the United States geological survey,
amounted to 7,36S,l24 short tons, valued
at $ll,64s,Oss, an increase of 623,260
short tons in quantity and OF Sl,l39,225
in value over the figures for 1911. The
output in 1912 was the largest in the
history of the state with one exception
(l9l0), but in 1910 conditions were alb
normal, a shortage of fuel caused by
six months strike among the coal min
ers in the central and southwestern
states having caused an unusual de-
mand upon the coal-producing districts
of the Rocky Mountain states. The
production in 1911, while less than that
| in 1910, showed normal gain over 1909,
and that of 1912 exhibited similar
normal increase over 1911. The region
supplied by Wyoming coal was blessed
with bountiful crops in 1912, and the
metallurgical and other industries were
in a prosperous condition, which was re-
Elected not only in the increase of pro-
duction over 1911 but in an advance in
the average price per ton from $l.55
| to $l.5S.
Coal mining in Wyoming gave employ
ment to 8,036 men for an average of
23s days in 1912, against 1924 men for
an average of $50 days in 1911. The
labor efficiency in Wyoming is among
the highest in the country, usually show
ing an average production per man per
year of over 900 tons. In 1912 this
average was OF. According to the United
States bureau of mines, there were thr-
ty-four deaths by accident in the coal
mines Of Wyoming during 1912, an in
crease of l over 1911.
Probably more than half of the en-
tire area of Wyoming is coal-bearing.
Coal is believed to exist in every county
of the state, although in some portions
| it lies under so heavy cover as to be
unavoidable under present conditions.
The reserves are estimated at approx
mately 424 000, 100000 short tons, a sup
ply exceeding that of any other state,
with the possible exception of North
Dakota. The Goals of North Dakota,
however, are almost entirely Ignite, with
small amount of sub-bituminous coal.
whereas those of Wyoming range from
sub bituminous to medium grade btu
minous. Some of the Wyoming Goals
go to markets as far distant as the Pa
cifc coast. The coal fields of Wyoming
are numerous, some of them are very
large, and they contain many beds, some
of which are very thick. One bed in
the southwestern part of the state is
about ninety feet thick. The largest
coal field is the Powder river field, in
the northeastern part of the state; at
least 1000 of the $4,000 square miles
contained in this area are underlain by
coal beds of known workable thickness.

About the capitol, even among friends OF
Bryan, the criticism is keen. Former
Senator Bourne yesterday voiced the
feeling of many when he said:
II am astonshed at Bryan. | have
always been an admirer OF his, but this

One of the most prominent progress

voted for Bryan and admiEes him, said:
This will hurt Bryan and hurt the
administration. l cannot see what he
was thinking Of. Criticism viii be the
keener as Mr.. Bryan is supposed to be

Mr.. Bryan's course in backing up the
movement TO postpone the Camlnett
case earned him lot of criticism. His
decision to take the lecture platform at

Washington, July Interpretations
of the United States earned $3,3O4r 000,-

dar year of 1912, exceeding all previous
records since the enactment of the cor

all expenses during the year OF 1911
by the compilation to-day of assess
ments made by Commissioner William
Fl. Osborn OF the internal revenue bu-
reau under the corporation tax law.
The increased prosperity of the cor
porations is expected to yield the red
eral government more than S36O0,0oo
including $3,000,000 of omitted taxes Tor
previous years. This represents the
greatest amount of corporation taxes
ever assessed by the treasury, exceeding
the returns Of the previous year by 81
100000.
Most of the assessments already have
been paid but some of them will be sub
ject to litigation.

tax division OF the treasury, yesterday
said the corporations earnings Indicated
that business conditions OF 1912 were
better than any previous recorded year
The great net growth of S400000,000
was made, he added, despite increases in
corporate Indebtedness and in wage
scales.
The total number OF corporations dur
ing 1912 was about $4,000, an increase
of seven per cent. over 1911 and com
pared with increases of 81 per cent. in
1911 over 1910 and less than four per
cent in 1910 over 1909. About $4,000
corporations failed to make returns for
1912 earnings and are subject TO pen
alties.
The table of assessments showed that
out Of more than sixty revenue districts
making returns only ten showed de-
creases. OF these the first district of
Wisconsin disclosed the most pro-
nounced falling off, the amount being
S72,5l2. Hawaii came next with a de-
crease of So, 800. In the remaining
eight districts comparatively small de-
