Topeka Lyceun1 Series
Opens October the 9TH With ALICE NLELSEl
DR.. s. Parkes Cadr71a11

No country produces
many really great lectur-
ers in one decade. AL
ways a few names stand
out as household words
and represent the intellect
ual and oratorical giants
of the time. At once to
the mind of the reader the
names of Conwell, Hills,
GunsauluS and Cadman.
OF these Cadman is not
the least. Coming as he
does to U. s., from Eng
land to take one of the
large pulpits of the coun-
try, he becomes a man of
international reputation.
1t was necessary to bring
great influence to bear to
induce DR.. Cadman to en-
ter the lecture field. but
when the vision of the
great hungry, apprecia-
tive lyceum audiences was
brought to him, he con-
scented to carry to them
some of the rich intellec-
tual fruitage that was his.
Only a very short time
each year is given to this
work and Topeka is very
fortunate indeed in being
able to have this powerful

and we were led to believe that an
increase of 35 to so per cent. would
be what we shauld expect.

a result grew the best crop OF COW
peas ever seen at The Oaks

were almost black. We !c,tt them
off and planted oats on a part of the
land after the incolated COW peas,
and oats on a section where cow peas
without incolating were grown. In
al respects the preparation and fer
tilization of two were the same.
During the prolonged drought this
spring the oats after the incolated
COW peas continued to grow and ma
ture praperty. The oats after the COW
peas without incolating ceased to
grow and did not head out satisfac-
torily. You Guild tell to the row where
the soil had been incolated, so much
more vigorous were the oats. The
result? We harvested three times as

After years of intelligent toll, when
p. ]. Beckmans of Augusta, Ca,
was gathered tohis fathers, he left
behind him an enviable reputation as
a most useful citizen, as noted hori-
oulturist, a great nursury business,
and three sons to carry on the
work he had inaugrated-a business
which had its customers in every civil
lied land, for the Beckmans nusery
products were above all reliable and
Just what the firm declared them to
be. There was no guess work about
anything they sold. They knew the
possibilities and the limitations OF
every tree, shrub or plant that went
forth from their establishment.
The business started by the re-
yered P. ]. A. Beckmans has far out
grown the business left by him. In
addition, the activities of the sons
have caused them to branch out in
several other directions, and among
their ventures is fifteenth hundred
acre farm at Mayfield, half of which
Is given over to peach orchards and
the other half to general farming.
This farm. "The Oaks" located
at Mayfield in Hancock county, Ga,
is being brought up to highest produc-
tiveness through the application OF
the underlying principles Of the main
tenance of soil fertility, and a record
oat crop grown this year on sandy
land under drouGG conditions has
pointed so conclusively to the money
value of the incubation of legumes
that this year the Beckmans Broath-
ers are using more than 800 acres OF
incoculating material on COW peas
alone.
In discussing the rearkable yiely
of oats, MIR. P. j. A. A. Berckmans, Jr.,
said:
For years We have grown COW peas
with what we believed to be success.
as a means of increasing the fertility
of the land as we'll as for the excellent
forage the crop provides. Some years
ago we began testing out commercial
bacterial cultural for the mediation
of hairy vetch, planted along with
oats, and some of them proved de-
cidely successful, while the hay was
easily the best ever fed on our place
This test was madeon the orchard
section Of The Oaks, and it was OBJ
served by all that the mules on that
part of the plantation were in finer
condition than ,on the farm section
where mixed grain and forage were
fed. Crops grew better afterrth the in
oculated vetch, showing the increase
in nitrates and the general improve
ment of the soils.
I'm the summer of 1914, the repre-
sentatives of the Earp-ThomaS Farm
ogerm Company called on us and
satisfied us that the incolating OF
cow peas would be profitable. The
representative told us of people we
knew who had got us much as l0C
per cent. increase in their oats and
other crops after COW peas incolated

TWO MINERS MEET DEATH
WHEN BUCKET ROPE BREAKS
PECULIAR ACCIDENT IN LAST DOL
LAR NINE AT VICTOR.
Charles Elliott and James Constantine
Fall to Bottom of Shaft and Con-
meet With Terrific Explosion.

Charles Ellison, % years old. and
james Constantine, So, were killed by a
dynamite explosion at the bottom of the
shaft OF the Last Dollar mine on Bull
hill mt Victor last Friday afternoon.
The two men had filled sixteen holes
with dynamite and were being hoistcd
from danger when the rope of the bucket
broke and they were precipitated thirty
feet to the bottom, where the dynamite
later exploded, and it is believed blew
the men to bits.
Ellison and Constantine had worked
all day placing the sixteen holes in the
shaft bottom, and had completed that
task.
They signalled the engineer at the
.20O-foot level, several levels above, tina I
they had completed the work and were
ready to he hoisted out OF danger.
The bucket had been hoisted about
thirty feet when the wire rope broke.
There was silence Of few minutes,
and then the noise of the explosion of
the dynamite.
A new rope was rugged on the hoist
and men were sent down to the shaft
bottom. There the result of the explo-
sIons was seen. Tone of ore were loos-
cned and tossed about
The bodies cannot be recovered until
tons of rock are removed.
II is supposed that the men may have
been killed by the fall, as no sound was
heard from them, but the probabilities
are that death was caused by the rend-
ing force of the dynamite.
The mine was under lease to Melville
Rapp Co., for whom the men were
working.
Ellison leaves wife and one child
and Constantine wife and two children
