| and the three forage crops for his
profit.
The Indian Corn Yielded Nothing.
The Indian corn made nothing eX-
cept an inferior type Of fodder; no
FEARS, at all. He. used some of the fod-
der to put over the stacks OF feter1ta
as he hauled it in from the field TO
protect it from the weather. until the
thresher came. A neighbor harvested
only sixty bushels Of wheat from a
forty-acre field.
Mr.. a~Anderson's milo, Kafir and
~feterita were neighbors in the field.
The three drought resisting forage
crops promised to GO through the dry
| weather together. Each crop was
green and the roots we're digging deep
into the ground to draw on the stored
up moisture Of winter and spring.
That's a quality of all three plants.
But a new enemy appeared on the
scene in the form Of millions Of chinch
bugs The pests moved out Of the
oats stubble and attacked the fields
of Kafir and milo, which were the
closest. Steadily the army of bugs
marched across the two fields and the
farmer complained at his luck and
cursed Kansas as he watched them
devastate the two crops They could
stand the drought, but not the bugs.
The farmer thought ne had to wait
only for the bug to reach the feterita
and then all would be lost.
When the Chinch Bugs Came.
But the new forage crop, imported
from the region of the great Sahara
desert in Africa, a the staying
and attacked the whole field, but were
unable to cut it down. The feterita
stood both the bugs and the drought
and reported a victory at the end Of
the campaign. The farmer will har-
vest a very poor crop Of Kafir and
milo. Already he has harvested fifty
bushels of feterita to the acre.
The writer recently returned from
western Kansas, where he accom-
panied the agricultural experts en-
ployed by the harvester trust on a
special train paid for by the Union
Pacific railroad. Through the west
ern counties the experts seized upon
a. information they could find about
feterita. A very few farmers told of
the same story as that of the Girard
armer The chinch bugs cut down
the Kafir and milo, but were unable to
destroy the feterita- In instances
Where the bugs were prevalent the
feterita outclassed the two other
forage crops. There we're only a few
testimonials, however, because very
little OF the feterita had been planted.
Planted AS Late As June 10.
Mr.. Anderson planted his f~eterita
at different times between May 25 and
June TO-. Some of it he plowed once
and some Of it he did not cultivate at
all. It is needless to say that the Gull
tivated part of the field made the bet
ter yield, although that part which
received no cultivation at all actually
produced about twenty-five bushels to
the acre.
1t was much thicker on the ground,
however, because he double rowed it
with the initial purpose of not plow-
ing it. AS it is the custom of the
average farmer, he worked hard and
~tediously with his Indian corn and
gave little attention to the forage
crops. The Indian corn was plowed
three times and produced nothing.

Great talent it delights to disap-

SNEAK THIEVES IN
 SEVERAL PARTS OF
 CITY MAKE HAULS

Key workers are busy in the city, four cases wheHe they had entered homes yesterday being reported to the police, three being from the West End. They secured entrance into the homes of Harry Morton, 395 Noun tain Grove street, James B. Cooper. $ T2 Dewey street, and Mrs John Han nigan. 390 Hanover street, and the tailor shop of Martin Adam, 1888 Stratford avenue.
 The police assume that pair of slick visitors are working the city. They approach the house as salesmen and getting no response to repeated ringings of the door Een effect an en- trance with Q skeleton key. The rest is easy.
 At the Morton home it was reported that a quantity of Jewe1ry was taken. missed a $10 gold piece and g. $4oo note. The note is no good to the thieves. Mrs. Hannigan reported the loss of a gold ring with diamond set ting and g. gold cha4n and Ioclet also with diamond setting.
 Not only do they work with keys these days but they back up with a team and cart away anything that is not nailed down. The Hill Coal Co.,, 2S19 Fairfield avenue, reported to the police that 20 bags of oats were stolen last evening from car that was on 8 siding at Railroad and Wordin ave- nues.
 The handiwork of Martin Adam, an East Side tailor looks good to another set of light providers. The Adam tailor shop at 1888 Stratford avenue was broken into last evening, the thieves departing with five suits and six yards of suiting. Entrance was made through the rear door. a key being used. Adam is more than peeV- ed for he removed from Seaview ave- nue to his Stratford avenue store only on Saturday. The last day of last year, his Seaview avenue place was burglar ized.

TO SAVE FREMONT HOTEL
 LIQUOR LICENSE

A fight to save the liquor license in the Old Fremont hotel. one of the landmarks of Middle street, was be- gun today, when the county comr1ds- sioners were served with an injunction restraining them from allowing Chris topf1er LaCroix to transfer the license to 115 State street The injunction was obtained by Henry O'Rourke, pro prietor of the hotel. It was issued by Deputy Judge Wilder of the city court and is returna,ble for a hearing the first Tuesday in September.
 O'Rourke claims IaCroix is not the rightful owner of the license but mere ly holds it as security for a. loan of $1, BOO A copy of an agreement be- tween O'Rourke and LaCroix is shown whereby the former gets $1, 800 from LaCroix and the latter takes the Ii- cense as security. LaCroix agrees not to move the license so long as O'Rourke holds the lease of the prem ises and sells LaCroix & Anderson s beer and ale The hotel proprietor says this agreement has not been vio- lated by him.
 When LaCroix sought permission to transfer to State street there was a renonstranca filed by Angus Mac Kenzie of the Public Market. There was to have been a. hearing this week but the injunction will halt proceed ings for the present

II BOYS DROWNED BY ACCIDENT AT
 CITY BATH HOUSE

Lawrence, Mass. July 1-Search for possible additional victims of yester- days accident when Il boys were drowned in the Merrimac river as a result of the collapse of a runway leading to cthe city bathhouse was re- sumed, today.

CRUEL JOKE ON
 WOULD-BE SUICIDE

Giovanna Cirapeta, 4s years of age, residing at 255 Catherine street is looking for the fellow. who told him that a good drink of creoltn would sever this mortal coil. Late yester- day afternoon, Cirapeta. drank the con- of a bottle of creo1in with suicidal in- tent. His groans attracted the atten- ton of the neighbors.
 The ambulance conveyed him to St. Vincents hospital where the stomach pump was placed in effective service. He was just sick. Creolin Is a pro- prietary preparation and is advertised as non- poisonous. It has a, strong carboIic odor which may account for it's use in this attempt.
