ACCUSES LIND OF
PREVENTING PEACE
Kahn Says Wilson's Representa-
tive Enabled Rebels To
Get Munitions.
TO COME UP IN HOUSE
Resolution Calls on Secretary Of
state to Make Facts
Public.

wAsHiNGroN, July lin = statement
made public to-day Representative Kahn
OF California virtually accuses John Lind
or Minnesota of responsibility for the fall
ure OF the mediation negotiations at Ne
agara Falls 20 settle the internal trouble
in Mexico Mr.. Kahn charges In effect
that the Administration double crossed"
the A Il mediators.
Mr.. kahn's statement follows:
THE position of Mr. Lind az the per-
sonal spokesman OF the President in
Mexico and the activities of Mr.. Lind
with the Constitutionalists must be en-
barrassing TO the Administration on
August 81. 1913. the President appeared
before Congress and delivered A message
In person in which he proclaimed Mr.
Lind TO the world as his personal spokes-
man and representative. In that same
message the President also declared in
emphatic terms that the Administration
would not take sides between the con-
tending parties On Mexico. That OF course
was In entire harmony with tho over
whelming sentiment OF the people of the
United States. The general opinion was
and is that the internecine strife is mono
OF the business OF the people Of this coun-
try and should be settled by the Mexicans
themselves.
But Mr.. Lnd was evidently not "a dis
Greet as an officer charged with great and
serious responsibilities should have been.
Recently the letters written by Capt.
S. g. Hopkins of this city and Gen. Car
rama were made public. In one OF thoss
letters Hopkins wrote Carranza that lind
told him positively that II tho Constitu-
tionalists were to ship munitions of war
into Mexico by way OF Cuba there would
be no Interference on the part of this Ad-
minstration.
THE mediators in Niagara Falls on
several occasions were reported as having
complaints from the Mexican representa-
tives on the score of double dealing by
the Administration. If the Presidents
proclamation prohibiting tho expectation
Of arms into Mexico was being genuinely
enforced. why did Mr.. Lind tell the legal
adviser OF the Constitutionallsts that II
arms and ammunition were sent IN small
vessels TO Cuba they could he trans
ported to the mouth OF the Rio Bravo
and delivered a few miles south Of that
| stream on Mexican territory
1T would seem II Mr.. Lind had never

| nothing OF the kind has happened. Mr..
| Lind simply stated when interviewed on
| the subject that 50 far as the Corra-

care about Natusha.
Benson resolved to run away. He
could walk to the nearest port and
catch the morrow's boat. He would
leave everything to Natusha. She
would doubtless go back to her own
people.
He saw her watching him silently
that night. Like a faithful hound
she knew his moods - her lords
moods. Natusha watched him with
a dumb aching at her heart. She
had seen the scrap of paper and she
had learned that he would be moody
on the rare occasions after a scrap of
paper came.
At midnight, when he thought Ma
tusha was sleeping, Benson arose
noiselessly from his couch. He had
his mackinaw and overshoes ready,
for the nights we're cold and there
was long walk before him. Silent
ly he pushed open the door went into
the starry night.
When he had disappeared Natusha
kneeled at the bedside a moment in
prayer. She prayed to the God of
whom the missionaries had told her
as she had never prayed before. Then
she slipped out after him.
AS Benson strobe along the trail
all memory of Natusha seemed to
slip from him. He was a boy once
more, in the Sussex lanes, heartfree.
He was at school. winning the cap

at the university, stroking his boat,

And temptation had come many
times, but Benson had never tried to
conquer it. What was the use, so,
long as he had whisky? And, later,
what was the use when he had Ma

Suddenly he stopped dead. Why,t
this was the temptation of which his
father had spoken. He was doing
now a thing still more dishonorable
than that which he had done before.

Benson sat down and fought his
battle out. And with her woman's in
tuition one who watched him from a
near hiding place knew that the God
of the mission people was wrestling
with his adversary for Benson's soul.
The agony on the mans face was
stronger than the suffering on hers.
Forgetting all, daring his wrath, Ma
tusha gRded up to him. She kneeled
at his side and put her arms around
him. r
And, in this position, she whispered
something to him, a woman's secret,
that made his heart leap as hers was

Benson rose to his feet. The bag

He saw his duty. He saw the years
of ease and dishonor stretching be-

the other, years of honor. He could
make himself respected. If he could

MATRIMONIAL

KENTUCKY CORN CROP
WORTH MORE THAN OTHERS

The corn crop of Kentucky is worth
more than all the other farm crops
combined. It's estimated value in 1913
was $56,867,0 more than twice that
of the States tobacco crop.
The year 1913 was not good corn
year and the average yield for this
State was only 20 bushels an acre
Some of the best of the corn growing
States did not do so well, but the av-
erage yield for the country at large
was "a bushels. In acreage Kentucky
ranks 18th among the States, but in
1913 thirty-four States reported a
higher yield. In 1910 and 1912, bet
ter crop years, the States average
was approximately 80 bushels, but the
average in more than half the States
of the Union was higher.
The figures show cOncluSively that
the corn growers of the State are not
getting the results they ought to get
from their efforts. Kentucky had g.
$4,000 acres in corn in 1913. Silo
improvement, more care in seed
corn selected and better methods of
cultivation would double the produc-
ton of the more than tree million
acres of land that Kentucky is plant
ing every year in corn. Indeed, it is
safe to say that with only moderate
improvement in these particulars on
the part of the rank and file of the
farmers, there would be material in
crease of production-and that with
out any increase in acreage.
The average yield of corn in some
of our counties is as low as Is bush
els. That this is due solely to poor
methods has been demonstrated by
the boys corn clubs which, in every
section of the State, from the noun
tains to the Mississippi River, have
made records Of 100 bushels and more
to the acre.

CULTIVATION AND YIELD.

In some sections it is common
practice to plant the corn little
thicker when raised for silage than
for grain. Weeds should be kept out
or they will be cut with the corn and
may impair the quality of the silage
The amount of Silage that can be OBJ
tanned from an acre of corn will vary
from 4 to 20 tons or more. A 90
bushel per acre of corn will yield
about to II tons of silage per acre
depending upon the amount Of foliage
and stalk that accompanies the ear.
Southern varieties of corn as rule
carry larger proportion of the plant
in the form of stalk and leaves than
do the northern-grOwn variesties.
Corn should be harvested for the silo
at about the same time it is harvested
for fodder.
Sorghums.
Sorghums, both saccharine and non
sacharine, are readily made into sill
age. On account of their superiority
to corn as drought resisting crops
they are more commonly grown in
those regions of the West where the
arinfall is too light or irregular for a
good growth Of corn. 1t is important
that the soghums be harvested at the
proper stage of maturity if the best
results are to be secured. A mixture
of corn and sorghum has proved sat
isfactory in some localities where the
rainfall was so variable as to make
the corn crop uncertain.
Glover.
Glover can be used successfully as
a silage crop yielding palatable pro-
duct high in protein, but preferable
to make it into hay or the silage
made from clover, as from other
legumes, has an Objectionable odor,
necessitating particular care in feed.
ing to avoid tainting the milk. It does
not pack so we'll as corn.
