On the w. F. Hughes farm eight
miles east of Florala is being harvest
ed a monster crop of chufas. Emory
Jones, who cultivated the farm this
year, planted thirty acres in these lit
tie grass nuts which are used princi-
pally for fattening hogs. 1t is said
that one acre of chufas will fatten ten
head of hogs, which will do their own
gathering as the hogs are turned on
in the chufa field and root up the grass
and eat it up the rich nuts from the
grass.
Judging from the photograph and
tall chufa hay, a specimen Of which J.
E. Hughes was showing yesterday, the
yield on these thirty acres must be
something wonderful. He has esti-
mated that the yield will be 122 bush
els per acre, and they invariably retail
at one dollar per peck. At four dollars
per bushel it may be easily seen $449
IN acre Ii ay be realized; taking the
IN ire tn rty acres at the same RAJ. y
stunning sum of $14,64O is reached.
Now what is the use to raise cotton?
This crop was planted July 9Th, after
other crops were laid by, and matureo
the latter part of October. The cost of
gathering, said Mr.. Hughes is II IL
cents per bushel, and it is possible for
one man to gather ten bushels per day.
Fertilizer used on this crop was six
hundred pounds of guano to the acre,
late planting requiring but little Gull
tivation.
By way of experiment Mr.. Hughes
fed his horse some cured chufa hay
after the horse had eaten a meal, and
he said the animal ate it with keen
relish.
Crufa hay, considered the by-product
of the chufa crop, will, it is conserv-
atively estimated, yield one ton to the

As mistress Of the White House, Miss

is not thought anything definite will be

that with a new baby as White

age is with one exception the highest
on record. In 1907, the average was
S.8. Among the cities, Memphis has
the highest rate with sixty-eight hon.
icidal deaths for every 100000 of the
population and Reading, Pa, is the
lowest with only 1. Out OF LAT killed
in the cities those in the East had SIC,
the central states 1873, the Southern
states 437, and the Western states 81.
When it comes to the consideration of
the methods by which these deaths are
brought about the figures for the last
year are not given. For the three pre-
ceding years, however, they show that
52.8 per cent were caused by firearms,
12.4 per cent by piercing and cutting
instruments, and 34,8 per cent by other
means, which includes poisoning and
clubbing.

NEW YORK, November 10.-As
result of the inquiry into the savings
Aauks in the public school by Mayor
Mitchell. fact hitherto unsupported
has been brought to light, that the city
school children as a whole constitute
a class of pretty thrifty savers. Some
time ago the mayors approval of saw
zngs banks in public schools led to
their establishment, more, however,
with the idea of seeing how they would
we. K cut than in the belief that they
would have any great success. That
they have been successful, however, is
shown by the unexpected large de
posts which have already accumulat-
sd. While the total savings of the
public school children is not now as
.Gertainable, since each school con-
ducts its own bank independently, fig
nres for individual schools show the
popularity which the idea his gained
among the pupils. At Public School
No. Ii over half the pupils are deposit
ssrs, and have to their credit in the
Bank almost $4,000. The first days
deposits in this school bank amounted
to $16034, and since then every Mon
day OF the school year has seen addi-
Hi0nal deposits made ANY sum from
I cent up is accepted, and when any
pupil reaches a balance of IS a separ-
ate account in his name is opened with
n regular savings bank. Withdrawals
can be made at any time, but it is nee
essary to have the authorization of the
parent, and there are comparatively
few. This is shown by the fact that
mp to the closing of the school year
out of deposits aggregating $4,000
only $4,000 has been withdrawn. These
figures apply TO the savings of 1850
out of $500 registered in the schools.
According to the figures the girls car
ny the largest balances, and rivalry ex-
lists among the class rooms to show
the biggest receipts. This savings
bank plan has been so successful
where it has been tried and is now
spreading so radidly that it is expected
before the end of the year every school
in the city will have it's own bank.
Mex York Home of HOmicides.
According to statistics just collected
here for the past year the chances of
meeting death as result of the act of

times as great in London The figures
for this city covering a five-year per-
nod shows that is has an average of
5-5 homicides for the years given as
compared to nine-tenths of one for
London, two for Berlin and three and
dve-tenths for Paris for each 100000
only murder but all the deaths in
hfcted intentionally or fundamentally,
accidentally or feloniously. AS com
pared to the whole country New York's
hOmicides are considerably above the
average, the figures for the rest of the
country being 40 per cent for every
100000. That the larger cities are
more dangerous than the country and
that New York's record in this cIas-
sification, considering its size, is shown
by the fact that as compared to the
general average of the whole country
the average number of homicides in
thirty large cities was 81 per cent for

@1s.ooo. 900 ADDED
To Accessible Property Of State
BY Fax Commission

Bismarck. Aug. 17.-For the
first time in the history of the
state all the leased sites on the
railroad rights of way will be as
sessed. This is due to the work Of
the Tax Commission. It is esti-
mated that the Commission has
discovered during the past twelve
months SiO.O0O.OOO worth Of as
sessable property which has here
tofore escaped taxation. This pro-
perty is scattered throughout the
state and some of it is such pro-
perty as the leased sites and
buildings on the railroad rights Of
way occupied by the Standard Oil
Company, line elevators and line
lumber yards.
The state, counties. cities and
towns have lost thousands of dol
lars in taxes during past years on
account of taxing officials failing
to assess them. If this ten mil
lion dollars was distributed
among the $4,000 inhabitants Of
the state about $17.OO valuation
would fall on each person or a tax
Of about seventy cents. The Tax
Commission has been making a
comparison between various
counties and cities in the state of
assessments on elevators, lumber
yards. Standard Oil Company sta
tons. cattle. ETC.. and from data
gathered it seems that elevators
in one county might be assessed
on an average value of 1880
while in the adjoining county the
elevators will average but Sf.116.
In comparing the assessments Of
the Standard Oil Company
throughout the state it has been
revealed that the assessed valua-
ton placed on the various dis
tributing stations by local assess
to $4,000. The Company CLAIMS ms
that the cost of their ball-bearing
tank wagons is $4,000 and that
one wagon and sleigh are at each
station-the $3.50 assessment is
comparatively very low. When the
farmer is assessed on cattle three
years old and over on an aver
age valuation of $40 per head he
makes I'D many deficiencies. Tho
Tax Commission is making
strenuous effort to have all pro-
perty assessed throughout the
state on uniform basis accord
ing to it's value and to keep in
close touch with the assessors. It
is said that the next work of the
Tax Commission will be to invest
igate the physical value of each
telegraph and telephone company
operating in the state.

Straw q, Fertilizer.

In some sections there has been con-
siderable interest taken in the straw
board factories which utilize wheat
straw, says the Kansas Farmer. Farm
ers. as rule. get about 80 cents ton
for their straw when hauled to these
factories. To the farmer who has habit
ually burned his straw or allowed his
stacks to accumulate from year to
year on the wheatfields so cents q ton
may seem quite an income to secure
for product which had formerly been
an absolute waste. Farmers in these
days, however, are beginning to. ~
ure on the fertilizing value Of snch
material. Straw as fertilizer is east
~ worth $3.50 ton. and all the straw
produced on the farm should eventual
ly find its way back to the soil, either
directly or through the medium Of i've
stock. as feed or bedding.

about 200 acres of what is known
as "rustproof" wheat. The kernels

There are apparent advantages and
disadvantages In the practice. The ad.
vantages lie in the saving Of time and
equipment In Flowing. in the plumper
and better quality Of kernels and In the
larger area that may be covered. The
disadvantages are that the. yields on
the average are about one-third less,
and occasionally both seed and labor
are thrown away. The straw il COM

is hard to bind into firm bundles that
will not scatter. The fields dry out
quicker than on plowed ground and are
harder to plow the following year.

FACTS ABOUT slLAeE.

Results Of Experiments In Growing,
Preparing and Feeding.
The dairy division Of the department
Of agriculture has for number Of
years conducted experiments in grow
ing. preparing and feeding silage The
results Of these investigations have
lately been summed up BY the depart
ment
Cost accounts kept for silos on thir.
ty-one farms in Wisconsin and Michi-
gan show that the cost Of putting up
ton Of silage varies from Is to " cents.
Cost records kept for eighty-seven silos
in various parts of the United States
give 81 cents a ton az the average cost
Of filling.
'The cost Of producing a ton Of sill
age" explains the department. varies.
Of course. with the acre yield. the
cost Of growing an acre and the cost
Of filling the silo. In general. It may
be stated that from $3.50 to 81 a ton
represents the limits between which
most Of the silage is produced"
As to the use of silage the depart
ment draws from its records of various
feeding experiments with various
classes Of cattle several rations that
have been found to give satisfactory
results
Rations for dairy cows are classified
in accordance with milk yield and the
quality Of this yield. as follows:
For 1900 pound COW yielding forty
pounds Of milk testing 3.6 per cent:
silage. forty pounds; clover, cowpea
or alfalfa hay, ten pounds; grain mix
ture. ten pounds
For cow Of the same weight yield
ing twenty pounds of 3.5 per cent
milk: silage. forty pounds; clover.
cowpea or alfalfa hay. five pounds;
grain mixture, five pounds.
For 900 pound cow yielding thirty
pounds of 8 per cent milk: Silage, thir-
ty pounds: clover, cowpea or alfalfa
hay. ten pounds; grain mixture, eleven
pounds.
For COW Of the same weight yield.
