imported from Cape Town matured
earlier and produced better heads than
did the Kansas grown seed.
Silven & Sons. merchants and farmers
at Usage City. imported twenty BUSH
els of white kafffr seed last winter.
This they procured through the Amer
lean consul at Cape Town. The seeds
men at Capetown stated that the KAT
fir seed was not the best grade but as
good as could be procured of the sea-
sons crop in Africa. Climatic condi-
tiOns had not been favorable for the
production of seed Of the best quality.
The seed was distributed in lots
ranging from one to two gallons
farmers Of Usage county. On Novem-
Der farmers, who received this seed
We're asked to display sample of ten
heads in a show room in Usage City
provided for the purpose. Prizes were
offered for the two best displays. The
first prize went to H. L. Dawson, who
estimated that his yield was thirty
bushels an acre. r. G. Glenn was
awarded the second prize, and he also
estimated his yield at 80 bushels to
the acre.
AL Roberts planted his African seed
June 1. By August Is the crop had
matured- Common Kansas grown

date failed to produce seed ard what

Of October %. A. D. Hokerschmidt
showed ten of the best heads and he
estimates his yield at IS bushels per
acre.
Two Varieties Imported.
OF the kaffir corn imported there
were two varieties, one being the long.
cylindrical head which is typical of
the kaffir with which farmers in this
country are most familiar. The other
variety was that producing a short.
thick head, the shape of the head re-
sembling milo. These heads grew up
right, and the seed was larger than
that of the other varieties. The heads
of this variety were uniformly mouldy
In the center. apparently the result of
rain settling in the center of the head
and failing to dry out. The long heads
are typical of the kaffir that the far
mers of this country have sought to
develop. However. the size of the
heads was not up to the standard due
to the adverse season.
The seed planted by the Usage
county farmers matured in from S5
to IS days. whereas the ordinary
kaffir grown in Kansas takes from
lis to 100 days to mature.
According to T. A. Borman, editor
of the Kansas Farmer. one reason for
the deterioration of the kaffir in Kan
sas Is due to the fact that there has
been no care taken in the selection of
seed. The grain has simply been
scooped out of bins with shovels, and
some of the seed has been mixed with
other grain sorghums. Another rea-
son is that a grain has the tendency
to take the entire growing season to
mature. That is the reason given for
the fact that the newly imported seed
matured so much earlier than the
Kansas seed.
Down in Africa all vegetable life
has a tendency to mature rapidly. and
the dry weather that exists in many
sections of the country has made kat
fir drouth resisting grain.

SENATE AL, lost
"A TIE ON or NOR
AS a Result of the Death of
Senstor johnson from
Alabama State.
MARGIN is VERY CLOSE
Passage of the Free Trade
Tariff Bill is Now Much
in Doubt.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s-senator
Joseph r. johnson. of Birmingham,
Ala, died at his apartment here this
morning shortly before . O'Clock.
senator Johnson had been in poor
health and mad not attended sessions
81 the Senate for week. He had
been confined to his apartments most
OF the time but his trouble was not
diagnosed as pneumonia until few
days ago. Although the senator's son,
Forney Johnson, had been summoned
from Birmingham, it was believed last
night that the senator was not in any
immediate danger.
senator johnson was 20 years old
had served through the war between
the states in the Confederate army,
was governor of Alabama for two
terms and had been member OF the
senate since 1907. He was unani-
mously elected to succeed the late
Senator Pettus. He was reelected in
1909.
The death of Senator johnson
weakens the Democratic majority on
the administration tariff bill in the
Senate, though party leaders insist
that there still will be no serious
difaculty in passing the measure. In
the Democratic Senate caucus it was
announced that forty-nine senator's
had declared they would support the
bill on its final passage. At that time,
Senators Ransdell and Thornton, Of
Louisiana, were the only ones to de-
clare they would vote against the bill
because of the sugar schedule. On the
basis of the caucus alignment. Demo
cratic leaders figured that the vote
ON the tariff bill without reflections
from either side would be forty-nine
to forty-seyen for its passage. The
death of Senator johnson leaves the
calculation forty-eisht to forty-seyen.
