Wonderful Plant Whose Grain Bids
Fair to Rival Wheat.
That in feterita a substitute for
wheat has been found, is the opinion
of many persons who have had an OPP
portunity to see the wonderful results
obtained from the growth of this grain
and the use OF the -four. Enthusiastic
farmers in the small section of the
country where it has been carefully
tried out are planting it this year in
the place of cotton and other crops.
The work with feterita at the govern
ment experiment farms shows 1t to
be a prolific grain or forage crop par
ticularly adapted to Southern States.
This new crop was first introduced
into the United States from the SUI
dan, where II is commonly grown I'M
der the name of feterita. It is OF the
nonsacharine sorghum family, having
stalks from five to twelve feet high
which are semi-iuicy and slightly
sweet before ripening. 1t resembles
milo maize in habit except that the
heads are larger, uniformly erect and
the seeds larger, softer and white in
color. It's ability to resist drouth oil

returns can be expected

doom of machine politics in Texas It

Every member Of that House is q

Not man in that House but was

And yet the presiding officer Of the
House arraigns all but the bare ma

bent on doing injury to the people.
Now It may he that the subsequent
proceedings will disclose ugly condi.
tons.
But II does seem bit queer that a
presiding officer should indict nearly
one-half of the membership in advance
OF an overt act.
And II remains to be said that all
done by legislative bodies in the name
of the people cannot justly be sci

the Bill Of Rights.
We hope for wise and salutary legis
