Kafr yields the best forage, feterita next and milo the poor est; feterita is frequently plant ed very early in the season to give an early crop of green feed. You will see from the foregoing discussion that feterita has a diff ferent place in the cropping sys- tenn from either milo or kafir.

Kafr, Milo or Feterita

A recent inquirer has written to the University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment station for information concerning the comparative merits of kafr corn, milo maize and feterita.
 Answering this inquiry. Prof. Stanley F. Morse, superintend- ent of Agricultural Extension service, answers as follows: The principal advantage of feterita over the other two crops is that 1t will mature in less time (about 90 days) and hence may be fitted into the rotation where milo or kafir would not do because of 1n- sufficient time for maturity be- fore frost. Milo natures Tn about 100 days and kafir in 12O days. Feterita requires the least water, milo more and kafir the most. In feeding value the grain of fete- rita is about equal to that of milo or kafir, but it is softer and easier for animals to masticate. Feterita yields the least grain per acre. (30 to 50 bushels or

The line defected south ward during the first four de- cades, never more than nine miles, then it went north for one decade four miles, then south ward for one decade three miles, then north for fourteen miles, but the last three decades it has kept almost exactly straight west. The department says that the geographical center of the United States is located in Kansas, ten miles north of Smith Center, the county seat of Smith county. It is expected that the center of population will take another leap westward during the next ten years on account of the opening of the Panama canal, which will lead to large immigration to the Pacific coast from Europe.

There seems to be quite a jeal- ousY among some business men. a disposition to break down their adversary in order to build them selves up on their opponents downfall. This petty feeling among rivals in business is, we believe, all wrong. The best way to build up a town is to stand by every man in the place who does right. Whenever a man is doing well. do not tear him down. All residents should be as partners. not opponents. In all livelihoods the more business your rival does the more you will do. Every business man who treats his cus- toners honestly. courteously and fairly will get his share, and the more business that can be se- cured by united efforts the bet ter It will be for all. When a town ceases to grow it begins to die, and the more people try to kill each others business, the more readily will utter ruin come to all. Stand together for the advancement of every citizen. If man shows ability to pros per do not pull him back through jealousy or weigh him down by cold indifference. Pull together for larger Holbrook.

denly startled when the lights went
out and the armory was plunged in
darkness. Eddie Root was leading
the field at the time, and when the
riders reached the Sussex avenue turn
they went down in a heap. Joe
Fogler and Marcel Dupuy We're
shaken up. while the other riders
escaped with minor bruises. Had
there been a lam" on when the lights
We're extinguished, serious accidents
would have probably resulted. As it
was, the riders did the next best
thing in slipping to the floor When
the lights flared up again Eddie Root
was found part way around the track,
while on the Sussex avenue turn nine
riders were trying to extricate them
selves from the mass of tangled
wheels. Fogler's head hit one of the
guard-rails alongside of the track,
but he was able to walk TO his camp.
Race Starts Again.
When the electric lights hared again
the riders refused to go on with the
race unless the gas jets were lit. Led
by Dave Russell, a number assisted
In getting the gas Jets in working
order, and Spears and Colomb bato
made their appearance on the track,
inc race was on again at 6.25 O'Clock.
Fogler Fails yerri.
At 1876 o'clock Jimmy Moran went
away on the backstretch, but his
sprint was a short one. 1t had the
effect, however, on Verri who let
loose coming into the Dickinson street
turn. The little Italian, anxious tc
retrieve for having failed to come out
and take Fogler's place In the big
jam" on time, let out the throttle
to the limit mark, and was almost
half lap to the good. Fogler came
on and relieved Verri, but 1t was
apparent after the riders had COW
cred two laps that Brooklyn Joe was
spent. Yerri came out again for Fog
Ter, but was caught by Goullet. The
latter made bad pickup on Hill on
the turn entering the homestretch
and the crowd hissed and booed the
Australian for some time. There
were many of Verri's countrynen on
hand, and they were loud in their
protest of the bad pickup. There
was a lull for a few minutes after
this sprint, but Just as the riders be-
gan to resume the time pace Cory
shot away Spears failed to come tc
his relief quickly and Cory was
brought back. At 11:5S o'clock Root
and Drobach went out again, but
Goullet showed that he was equal tc
the occasion.
Kaiser was the big winner of the
primes last night, and Gus Wohl-
rab managed to win the final sprint
Moran and Carman did some hard
pacing for eight laps. and ther
dropped off. leaving the fight for frs
and second money between Wohlrat
and Root. The former had big lead
at the bell, which he~ managed II
hold although Root let out a good
burst of speed.
