SUGGESTIONS on DIVERSIFIED
FARMING.

Some people have the Idea that div
versified farming means the cutting
up of these beautiful grain fields into
five, ten or twenty acre lots, putting
a family on each lot, and have them
raise a little bit Of everything and
not much of anything. says an author
lily on agriculture. But this is for
from the true meaning. Diversified
farming simply means that type of
farming that produces more than one
cash crop. For instance, II we have
enough hogs to bring In any consid-
'rable amount of revenue we are car
rying on diversified farming. Then
II we add another crop, such as clo-
YER seed. beans, corn or potatoes, we
have a still more diversified system.
Disqualification and rotation go hand
In hand. For when we have any ex-
tent of liberalization we will always
have a more or less well defined sys-
tenn OF rotation. In fact II is the
ually brings about a system Of diversi-
fication. European farmers learned
about & thousand years ago that ro-
tatlons we're necessary In order to
continue the production of maximum
yields. In any country that follows
grain production anything like exclu-
sively. means must necessarily be I'm.
ployed for keeping up the fertility Of
tho soil or eIae abandonment ia sure
to follow. This country is no excep-
ton. The soil was very fertile when
cultivation began, and much Is still
fertile. But you cannot expect to go
on taking wagonloads Of fertility from
the soil every year, and putting moth
ing back, still maintain a fertile soil.
Grain farming Is the most exhausting
oil the soil OF any class of farming
and It takes a fertile soil to hold up
under II for any length of time. But
by raising ieguminous crops to re-
place the depleted supply Of nitrogen
and humus and the addition of what
ever other OF the fertilizing elements
the soil may need In order to keep UP
the balance necessary for the produce
ton OF a maximum crop, you may b.
able to farm the land indefinitely m
obtain reasonable returns.
The different branches of diversi-
ficatlon must be selected with juds-
ment and discretion so they will fit
into your particular condition without

WHEAT SMUT CONTROL.

Reports coming in from many sec

State Rural. Indicate that smut causes
severe losses to wheat growers. and
Idaho farmers have not escaped. Smu,
is so easily treated Ia most cases that
losses sustained from this cause may
be fairly CHARGED. nine times out OF
ten. to sheer laziness or i~nexcusable
ignorance. Smut sometimes results Ill
losses TO the farmers OF the United
States OF more than $50. 900. 900 annu.
ally. Not infrequently fields planted
TO untreated seed and giving promise
OF yielding 80 to 40 bushels per acre
will produce a crop OF covered smut
ranging in some cases from 40 to 90
percent of the crop.
Smut is caused by a growing run
gus which attacks the growing wheat
plant before the first leaf appears
above the ground. BY the time thu
wheat heads we find smut balls whert
wheat grains ought to be. The treat
ment recommended is to soak tn.
seed for ten minutes In a solution of
one pound OF commercial formalin ao-
ded to forty gallons of water. drain,
pile In heaps to dry, and seed as soon
as practicable after the grain Is suf-
.ficiently dry.

Nearly Ten Thousand Babies Regis

Apparent great reluctance on the

the registering of the baby's birth as

certificate giving the name is done

Thus far, the vital statistics de-

mothers, costs nearly $3.50 in postage

The highway commissioners held
their regular meeting Monday, there
being with them IN assistant from the
State Engineers office. Little Of i'm
portance was done other than a de-
cision to gravel a mile or two OF the
highway south of town, using differ

be an experiment test to determine
the thickness of gravel required to

Feeling ran high; meetings were
held, speeches were made, resolutions
we're passed and finally the question
came into court as to whether the
State Of Delaware would permit the
General to go ahead and build the
road, or whether II would say him
nay. At last reports the matter was
still under consideration. Some OF the
points in litigation had been settled
and II 10 understood that Gen. du Pont
has merely been waiting for a decision
as to other problems involved.
While his offer was still being dis
cussed . couple Of years ago a des-
patch from Philadelphia announced
that Gen. du Pont had formed q six
million dollar corporation to Be called
the Du Point Coal Company. The des-
patch was brief. and NJ special COM
ment was excited because the main
figure in tho enterprise had been
handling large business undertakings
for a decade. It wa in that same
year. ls~i2-lsl1. that Gen. du Pont be-
tamo active in motor boat racing. He
built q novel cruising craft with many
original features and was elected COM
modore Of tho Wilmington Yacht and
Auto Club.
Not far from this time word came
from Boston that he had given $780,
900 to the Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology either for the erection OF a
new scientific building and IL equip
ment or for a new site for the insti-
tuition, his gift stipulating that ample
provision should be made for carry
~: on the educational development
/ which might be expected to result
from such enlargement Of the institu-
TONS plant. This was about q quarter
of a century after he had been gradu-
ated from Boston Tech"
The day before last Christmas he
underwent an experience common to
many mortals by suffering a sudden
attack Of appendicitis, but this had
no serious after effects. and since
leaving the care Of surgeons he has
continued his active interest In many
enterprises until a recent announce
ment was made that upon completing
the great new building Of tho Equi'
table he proposed to retire from work
Fast on the heels OF this, however,
came word just a few days ago that
ne naQ DOuBnt cOntToi VI TIC TSpui'apio
stock from Mr.. Morgan. And now the
statement Is made that the General Is
entirely willing to sell his control TO
policyholders. giving them an option
of two or three years, and this In the
opinion of many means that Gen. du
Pont Is trying to bring about a mu-
t~ualization Of the society.
The Du Pont powder business waa
established by Gen. du Points great
grandfather. Eleuthere du Pont, who
in 1902 built a powder mill on the
banks Of the Brandywine, not far from
Wilmington. Del. where 1t still is the
leading headquarters OF the great In
dustry developed during the century
and more which has passed since
then. 1t Is said that n Of the
greatest sources Of satisfaction for
the present generation Of du Points
Is that on their payrolls to-day are
not a few descendants OF those who
were employed In that little mill on
the Brandywine 112 years ago, 1t
may he further remarked that since
the close Of the American Revolution
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-06-20

the United STATES has fought It's
largely with Du Pont powder. The
first real test Of the enterprise came
in the War of 1912, when Eleuthere du
Pont showed hat 30 far as explosives
were concerned this country was equal
to the Old World.
Eleuthere du Point established Il "a
a guiding principle that his business
should bear q semi-oflctal relation to
the Government. and that when need
arose everything was to be made sub
servient to the needs of tho coun-
try. Patriotism was . w~atchword
with him. and 70 II has remained with
his sons and grandsons to this day.
It 10 Q matter Of record that the
du Pont concern has taken ad-
vantage Of he necessities Of the
Government to raise It's prices Or in
crease its profits. II 10 also . matter
Of record that Ill the efforts Of h
Government to manufacture It's "
powder have mel with tho support OF
the du Points. Formulas and trade
secrets worth millions have been
placed at tho disposal Of tho Govern
ment's powder mAkers.
Eleuthers Irenee du Pont lived 70
direct the destinies Of the industry he
established through the ups and downs
inevitable to all new enterprises until
It had passed the experimental stage.
He died OF cholera in 1884 and success
sion passed to his IONS. Alfred Victor.
who was the manufacturing expert,
and Henry. to whose financial genius
is due the fact that tho enterprise
successfully weathered the panics be-
tween 1850 and 1889.
Alfred Victor was tho titular head
Of the house until 1850. when Henry
succeeded to the headship. and It was
under his leadership h a the hardest
test and most brilliant successes came.
The civil wal moi only taxed all the
resources OF the country to the utter
most but II taxed the capacity Of the
Du Points as well.
On tho heels Of this came another
test, In the discovery OF chemical ex-
.loslves and the development Of nitro
glycerine and it's derivatives. Dis
organized rs II was by the strain Of
the civil war the Du Pont Company
tackled this new problem and solved It.
Henry du Pont guided the destinies
Of the business during this critical
period and when he laid down the reins
in 1889 the Il. l. du Pont de Nemours
Company was one of the greatest In
dustries OF the United States. He
was succeeded by Eugene du Pont,
who with tho control of the business
also inherited the business ability Of
his predecessors, Eugene du Pont was

in doing so, because Of their imper-

but they are few and far between. for
tho reason that Gen. du Pont appar-
entity has a decided distaste for pub
licity. OF course . certain amount OF
publicity could not be avoided while
he was active in politics. especially
while no was Q member Of the Re
publican National Committee and In
charge Of the speakers bureau at the
Republican h~eadquarters here in New
York.
Those who follow current events re-
call that during President Taft's cam
paign In 1908 Gen. du Pont wanted to
subscribe $4,000 to the campaign
fund, but Frank H. Hitchcock. then
chairman of the Republican National
Committee. declined to accept the
7 check and returned the mooney to!oDi
du Pont because the Federal Govern
ment at that time happened to be su
ing the powder trust. which war
largely owned by the du Pont family
This incident created a good deal o.
talk at the time, particularly becauss
Mr.. Hitchcock admitted that tho Re-
publican National Committee was In
great need of money.
Tn to the time Gen. du Pont under
took the construction Of the new
Equitable Building. one Of the largest
IL indeed not the very largest once
building in the world, his most spec
"tacular adventure occurred as a result
Of an offer he made some years age
to build a great road through Della
ware, covering a distance OF more
than a hundred miles, and at a per
sonal expense to himself OF something
like SO, OOO, 900. Now the good folk o
Delaware may be no more suspicious
Of human motives than other people
but as soon as this offer was mad'
they began to question what lay bacl
Of It.
To all appearances Gen. du Pom
wanted to construct that great high
way from the sheer love an expe
rlenced engineer has In puttint
through a large work which is IA
perfect as II can be made. Being al
engineer OF proved quality 1t was sur
missed by a few persons that he wa

GUINEA SCENTS "REASONS"
BACK OF BAKER COMMITMENT

Atty William A. Guinea will put
up a legal fight tomorrow to stop
commitment of Hadrian H. Baker to
Kankakee state insane asylum. Cum
nea is making the fight without pay
and says he believes there is some
thing else than public welfare mo-
tives back of the move to declare
Baker insane.
Baker was jailed by circuit judges
last summer on $4,000 bonds. His
offense was the printing of pointed
and singing remarks about some of
the circuit Judges who put him in
jail The judges said he was not only
a vile sIanderer, but was off in his
head. '---'-
