VICTORY ACHIEVED BY TACT
How Explorer overcame the Objec-
tons Of South American Natives
to Face Camera.

After his startling experience, when
he tried to photograph a group of
South American savages, Mr.. Algot
Lange visited the Indians In their re-
treat and, after studying his hosts for
several days, persuaded them to pose
for him. He gives an account of his
success in his book, "The Lower ANA
zon":
judged it to be the proper moment
for taking photographs because many
Of the more critical Indians were away
working on large canoe. 1t was a
risky act to bring forth again 'the lit
tie black thing that grows big and has
an evil eye," but it was of vital impor-
lance for me to record my sojourn on

Slowly I lifted the camera out of the
bottom of the knapsack. l took the
back of and held the open kodak in
front of the chiefs eyes so he could
see the empty bellows He nodded
and touched it. The tickling sound of
the shutter amused the chief, and he
initiated the sound by saying, Tick!

time exposure, and let them look
through the lens. That also pleased
them The chief even called the
camera marakah, or plaything. I felt
rather safe, and yentured to roll film

Coffin Made for Darwin Not Used.

The funeral took place at Downe
churchyard, near Bromley (Kent), of
John Lewis, aged efghty-one, carpen-
ter, who made the coffin in which it
was intended that Charles Darwin
should be buried. 1t was afterward
decided, says the London Daily Mail,
to bury Darwin in Westminster abbey,
and the coffin was not used, being sub
sequently exhibited in the district as
a curiosity. Mr. Lewis twenty five
years ago made collins for himself and
his wife, and these were kept in their
cottage.

GOOD DRY FARM CROP
Broom Corn Becoming Popular In
Semlarld Districts.
Being One Of s%orshums, IL Naturally
Drought Resistant, Especially In
Dwarf Varieties - Planting
often Done With Lister.

-
The largest proportion Of the broom
corn crop which enters into the inter-
state trade is produced In a certain
small area In Illinois and In a number
OF counties in Oklahoma, according to
the statisticlan OF orange Judd
Farmer.
Kansas and Texas contribute to the
southwestern crop, varying amounts
are raised In Nebraska. and a num-
Der OF other states like Tennessee,
Missouri and Iowa grow some broom
corn, and small ncreages OF II have
been successfully grown In Idaho. In
dlcations are that the Illinois acreage
Is growing smaller In recent years.
and II Is certain that the broom corn
acreage is expanding in the South
west. The Illinois district raises the
standard variety from which brush for
large, heavy brooms is secured, while
the dwarf varieties are favored more
In the Southwest.
Generally speaking, any good corn
land is good broom corr land. Broom
corn, however, being one OF the
sorghums, is naturally drought resist
ant, and In the dwarf varieties this
characteristic is developed to a
marked degree. This Is why the crop
Is so popular in the dry districts OF
the southwestern states. In fact, In
the unusually dry season OF last year
broom corn was one of the few crops
that made the southwestern farmer a
dollar. Although current reports stated
that eve the broom corn crop was
severely injured, harvest results
showed n fairly satisfactory output In
that region. In several counties where
broom corn is largely grown the farm
ers would have been in hard clrcum
stances indeed, had they not raised O
fairly good crop of broom corn and
received particularly high prices the
past season.
In this district the planting is FIRE
quently done with n lister, although or
well.prepared ground the corn planter
can best be used. About three quarts
OF seed per acre are sufficient. A sor
ghum plate may be used, which will
drop the seeds about a foot apart II

or any of the sorghums.
The crop may be planted any tint

retained. Afterward the brush
placed In bales Of from three to fou
