early Ours matured forty days ahead Of Milo
maize. Feterita branches out from the stem,
and one plant VIII have from four to eight good
heads.
We planted ours in rows, three and one-haf
feet apart using four pounds OF seed to the
acre and cultivated like corn. l think the best
way to harvest this grain would be to cut and
tie In small bundles, 1t LIS easily cured and
makes fine forage. and when cut 1t will sprout
out from the stubble and make another crop
Of fine forage. Feterita has the largest grain

The Case of Becker
Out OF the Dcath-House.

Becker. coming out from the horrors OF the
death house, disclosed an astonishing intimacy
with the Bible, with Shakespeare, with num-
Der of other standard authors For sixteen
months he had sat in the rooms Of the con-
demned, and had listened to the emptying OF
twelve other cells, their occupants were led
away to the chair" From a more personal
point Of view, ne could sympathize with Oscar
Wilde's masterpiece. THE Ballad OF Reading
Gaol." and understand the terrors of the pitiful
occupations Of the doomed man.
Or else he sat with those who watched
His anguish night and day;
Who watched him when he to weep,
And when he crouched to pray;
Who watched him lest himself should rob
Their scaffo1d of it's prey.
Becker, no doubt during his stay in the
death house. came to understand what the more
finely STRUNG soul of the poet put into words
descriptive Of prisoner waiting the dawn
which will usher in the execution of fellow.
He saw:
....... the Swallowed bars
Like lattice wrought in lead,
Move right across the whitewashed wall
That faced my three-plank bed-and
..4-.-... knew that somewhere in the world
Gods dreadful dawn was red
without doubt, also Becker experienced the
equivalent of the emotion of seeing the keepers,
who wore their Sunday suits" and he too,
knew the work they had been at by the quick
lime their boots
Yet Becker comes out Of the hell Of the
death house with what, in way Of speaking.
Is liberal education. He had no training with
which to put into imperishabe verse the i'm
pressdons that he gained, Wilde had But
somewhere in his adversely he had found the
power to look with wistful eye' not only to
that little tent Of blue that prisoners call the
sky but at other things also. Becker may be
a murderer-frankly. we think he is one-but
his. apparently, Is the strange circumstance that
he comes through murder to light AS com
mander of the Strong arm Force" he never
would have read The things he quotes
glibly--the embalmed thoughts OF the great
minds-wouh never have gained Judgement

off for his prison experience. His brain was
in death house. and the death house OF his
body has apparently opened the cell to the con-
demned soul that never. under Beckers care as
policeman. had chance"
To think that a policeman like Becker should
have become, essentially speaking a poet; and
then to consider that anybody, anywhere, can
oppose compulsory education in the name of

LIQUOR and Labor.


The American Sheet and Steel Plate company,
a Pennsylvania organization which employs about
5000 men. has followed the example of other
iarg corporations in requiring sobriety on part
of its employees. 1t has issued order which

And Eastman Hotels. There were several additions to the Spas 'apidly growing baseball colony yesterday. Many years ago, when the National game was in it's infancy, Cy Young, Poor Chick Ctahl, Jimmy Collins, Bill Dineen, Jack OConnor, Tommy Leach, Hans Wagner, Fred Clark, Deason Philippe anG Johnny McGraw, among others, always show ed up hele for spring training. That was in the days whens the players footed their own bills for spring work, training trips not being fash ionable.
 Those ~old boys stuck in the game so long that pretty soon Barney Dreyfuss established a permanent training camp here for the Pirates. Season in and season out his team was a winner. Furthermore, the same players stuck on the team. Hence, other club-owners and man agers began sending their teams to Hot Springs-if not their entire teams, then a delegation of their players.
 This spring the Pirates, Boston Red Sox and Indianapolis squads will be here in their entiretyA The New York Americans and Brooklyn Ma tionals will also have their battery candidates here for a course of the hot baths and some hikes over the hills.
