WILL BE RULED OUT.
Important Phase in New Haven Trial
Held to Be Irrelevant.

New York, Dec. 1.-The prospects
at the adjournment of Tuesdays ses-
sion of the trial of the eleven former
directors of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railraod, under the Sher-
man antitrust law, were that one of
the most important phases of the gov
ernments case against the defendants
would be ruled out as irrelevant
This was evidence regarding the ac-
QUESTION of the New York, Westches-
ter & Boston and the New York &
dorchester lines, which the govern
ment maintains were bought by the
New Haven to prevent them from be-
ing projected from New York city into
through line into New England, in
competition with the New Haven.
Federal Judge Hunt announced that
he did not think the government had
presented proof sufficient to justify it's
contention that the roads were project
ed for the purpose of carrying on in
terState commerce. The defense con-
tended that the lines were not project
ed beyond the limits of the state of
New York, and therefore, being intra-
state lines, were not amenable to the
Interstate application of the Sherman
law.
Judge Hunt said he would allow
both sides to present additional testi-
mony on the point before rendering
his decision. /

HESSIAN FLY AGAIN.
Agricultural College Sends Out Warn

AGRICULTURAL OOlIeo2e SCtlUS Out w
ing to Wheat Growers.
Manhattan, Kan, Dec. Over al
most the entire eastern half of Kansas
and including several of the counties
in the western half of the state, al
most all of the volunteer wheat grow
ing in the old stubble fields is badly
infested with Hessian fly and if this
volunteer wheat is not plowed under
before the first of next April, 1t Will
prove a source of great danger to the
many fields of wheat which are now
practically free from the fly, warns
George A. Dean, entomologist in the
Kansas State Agricultural college and
experiment station.
THE veritable hotbed of the fly TINS
year is the volunteer wheat growing
in the stubble fields. There is con-
siderable less acreage of wheat TINS
year over the greater part OF the
wheat belt and this means many STUB
BILE fields are left standing full or vol

Gus danger from this volunteer wheat

means, he should pillow this wheat I'M

RESUME MEXICAN TRAFFIC..

to Laredo, Texas, but that the Ameri-

with them. The purpose Of their WIS.,

SOIL IN POOR CONDITION.
Pillow Now to Give Frost a Chance,
Says Professor Call.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. Heavy
types of soil have never been in Dor
er condition in the eastern section of
Kansas, so pillow now or some time he
fore spring, is the advice of l. E.
Call, professor of agrOnomy in the
Kansas State Agricultural college
THE heavy beating rains of the
past summer have deflocculated the
soil and left it in such a condition
that it is very difficult to work"
says Professor Call. The action of
frost on rough plowed or listed
ground will do more than any other
one thing towards restoring God
filth. Thus wherever ground can be
plowed this fall or winter it should be
done and the soil left rough so that
it will be exposed to the fullest extent
to frost action. If the blowing can
be done in the fall or early winter
and the ground left rough, the freez-
ing and thawing of the water in the
pore spaces of the soil will cause the
clods to crumble and the soil particles
to become flocculated- Thus good
filth will be produced.

WILL IT OVERCOME THE RAIN
Much Moisture Bad for Tobacco
Tobacco Stems High Priced

Edgerton Tobacco Reporter: An IN
preceoenfed rainy season since the first
OF the month when the tobacco grow
ing sections have been deluged with a
SIX inch or more rainfall has put rath-
er gloomy aspect upon the prospects of
the growing tobacco crop. Aside from
fiooding the low lands and washing the
nillsldes, the earlier fields have been
twisted and hattened by the wind, and
patches Of hail also added further in
jury TO the crop. However, a large per
eentage of the crop has not attained a
size that would prevent it making fair.
ly good tobacco under suitable weather
conditions from this on. With twenty
days Of rain in July and the clouds dis
charging an unusual amount of moist
ure so far In August. they begin to
wonder If this thing is to continue.
One of the minor effects of the Euro
pean war that may have escaped the
notice OF the public generally, is to in
crease the market value of tobacco
stems: and It all comes about through
the advance in price Of commercial pot
ash that formerly sold at about a. cents

IL IS well known that tobacco stems

ent prices Of these commercial fertiliz.
ers. Thus tobacco stems that have
generally been marketed at about "a a
ton TO concerns manufacturing tobacco
extracts are now worth from $40 to S12
per ton.
The usual market for tobacco stems
comes from the extract concerns and
the public have a slight conception of
this business. There is a world market
Tor tobacco extracts that is continual
ly expanding. France and Italy buv
immense quantities for use in the grape
vineyards as an insect destroyer, ana
chemists are all the time working to
determine what tobaccos yield the larg-
est percentage of nicotine. Experi-
ments have been carried on in England
of late to find out if certain varieties
OF tobacco might not be grown for the
extract alone. The result has shown
that 9 to cents might be paid for leaf
used IN making extract Wisconsin t.
oacco, however, does not yield nowhere
near as large percentage Of nicotine
extract as the southern types, and hence
some years there has been no market
for our stems, though the present de-
mand will take all offered at higher fig
nres than ever before paid, for the
reasons above explained.

IsIBE LAST DAYS

The final touches Of the legislature
will come the latter days of this week
or fore part of next. The real work
was owe last Saturday so far as the
body Of the members goes, but the con-
GLIDING touches must be given. The
CENSOR has not time or space today to
review the legislature and its work.
1t makes record as the longest ses-
sion. In tsx-saving way we believe
it will easily be demonstrated that a
very substantial showing has been ac-
complished and an excellent start made
for succeeding sessions to emulate.
The figures in this respect will run into
the millions.
A comparison of the appropriations
made by the legislature of 1913 with
those of the present session shows:
Years. 1914 ...........$ 36, 261, 209. SO
Years, 1866. ......... rs. $40. 800. 81
Difference. ... s 1854. 900 80
In considering the appropriations in
connection with the work of the legis
lature it must not be forgotten that the
present legislature and administration
inherited 50. 0oO, 900 Of hang over appro-
pristions by the 1918 legislature, but
not provided for in the tax levy Of 1914
This great reduction has been due al
most wholly TO the industry and rsr-
sistenee of Governor Philip and his
friends. To many of the proposals to
establish economics there was opposi-
tion, arising -rtof fractional differences.
'The mere cutting down of appro-
priations will not end the economy pro-
gram" remarked Governor Philip in
a statement to the people. From now
on we shall seek to reduce expenses so
rs to make substantial savings and
bring the expenditures well below the
authorizations. In other words. { h e
economy program is to continue
