The capture of General De Wet
leaves the South African rebels with
out a leader. General Beyers and
Lieutenant Colonel Maritz already
have fed.
De Wet, one of the most famous
generals in the Boer war, was the
leading spirit in the anti-British move
ment at the outbreak of the European
war, and on October 26 openly re-
volted and took the field at the head
of an army
The point upon which General De
Wet took exception to the policy of
Premier Botha was the determination
of the Union leaders not merely to
defend themselves against the Ger
mans, but to take the aggressive and
invade German Southwest Africa, in
which dwell number of Beers who
refused to accept the terms of peace

grown successfully in any rich sandy
soil where is plenty of moisture and
heat. In the irrigated sections of the
southwest there is reason to believe
that it will do well.
Up to the present time the chief
obstacle to the more general introduc-
tion of this root crop throughout the
south has been the lack of knowledge
of it on the part of the consumer and
as a consequence, the very limited
demand. A forthcoming circular pub
lished by the department of agricul-
ture under the title THE Dasheen, A
Root Crop For The South" contains
additional information for the pros
pective grower and a number of use
full recipes for preparing the vegeta-
BILE. These are well within the range
of any competen cook and should pro-
vide an agreeable novelty for the
family table. On account of the acrid
principle that characterizes almost all
plants of this family, however, care
should be taken never to taste the
leaves or even the tubers while raw. A
teaspoonful of sal soda in each quart
of water used in preparing the vege-
table will keep the hands from being
affected by the irritant that is also
found in the outer part of the tuber.

GOOD YIELDS FROM THE
DASHEEN IN THE SOUTH.

Washington, d C.. Oct. 2f-Results
of experiments conducted by the unit
ed States department of agriculture
show that while under unfavorable
conditions a Weld of 140 bushels an
acre may be obtained from the culti-
walton of the dasheen with specially
favorable conditions this yield runs up
to 45O bushels per acre. The dasheen
| is a vegetable somewhat resembling
the potato, which was introduced in
to this country a number of years ago
bv experimenters in the department
/ of agriculture from various parts OF
the tropics, in the belief that 1t would
prove a valuable root crop for the
south This belief, it is said, is now
justified by the outcome of expert
ments which have been in progress
since 1909. Last year at the Brooks
vile station in Florida an average OF
296 bushels per acre was obtained.
OF this quantity approximately one
third consisted of tubers for market
ing and about one-fourth of tubers too
small to be sold proiitably, but new
ertheless, large enough for home use.
The bulk of the remainder could be
disposed of as feed for cattle and hogs
or used for seed purposes.

food for millions of people in tropical
and subtropical regions and there
seems to be no reason why it should
not prove equally valuable in the south
ern and southwestern portions of the
United States, as a substitute for or
supplement to the potato and sweet
potato. Indeed the higher nitrogen
GUS and starchy content of the dash
cen may make it quite as valuable an
article of diet as the more familiar
potato in regions where it can be
grown successfully. The peculiar nut
ty flavor of the tubers is very gener
ally liked and when properly cooked,
the young leaves are an excellent sub
stitute for spinach.
1t is also an economical food for it
can be grown as a summer crop, ripen-
ing its tubers in October, in regions
where the potato must be grown al
most entirely as a spring crop. For
this reason it is available for the ta-
BILE in the south at time when nor
thern grown potatoes must be ship
ped in at comparatively high prices.
At the present time, however the
specialists in the department do not
recommend the dasheen for cultiva-
tion generally in latitudes north of
the Carolinas. The dasheen has been
grown at a number of points much
farther north than this, but the re-
suits did not seem to indicate that it
would be commercial success II is
really a tropical plant and requires
frostless season of at least six months
and preferably longer. Where this re-
Quirement is met, the dasheen may be

II Pays to Adyrtiser.

That advertising pays, especially for
cows, Is proven by the experience OF
Mr.. Warren Bolt. EARLY last week Mr..
Bolt lost valuable feline and "knew
not where to find her.. He advertised
on telephone posts, bare walls and
elsewhere in hopes Of regaining her,
but all In vain. At last, but not yet
discouraged he came into The Adyer-
tiser office and planking down quar-
ter Of dollar asked that one Of those
famouse little want ads be fixed up
Lost, strayed or stolen, etc.. AL
ready aware Of the strenuous efforts
previously put forth by Mr.. Bolt 70 find
the gentle milkcr, the Want Ad man
was little averse to taking the bust
ness being Of the reputation of
the little wonder workers. But, with
an eye on the small coin and thoughts
Of seven cents cotton, nice little ad
was worded and the admonition jok-
ingly given Mr.. Bolt to put his head
out Of the window the following morn
ing and watch for someone leading his
COW home. Confidence in the wonder
worker had not been misplaced, how
ever, according to Mr.. Bolt, for on ris-
ing the next morning and going to the
back door-Lo, the long lost one was
waiting at the gate. She had not even
waited to be lead.
