column directed particularly at
Colonel Ralph Buell., editor Of the
Mercedes Tribune, and calculated to
cause him to trace down the oyster
plant. known to exist in the vicinity or
Mercedes, has met with abundant sue

Colonel Buell. has discovered an ex-
perimental plot Of eight acres of the

Further he has discovered that these
men have alreadx> shipped about 40
bushels of oyster Plant, or satisfy, and
that they bring from 81 to S8 per
bushel on the New York market. which
is a long way from the Valley. either
rail or water.
Before engaging to trail the oyster
plant to its lair, near Mercedes. Col
onel Buell. sought the advice of Colonel
Webster of Webster dN,ionary fame,
discovering that this eruditc gentleman
defines the satisfy as follows:
"A European cichoriaceous plant with
long -penduncled heads of purple rayed
flowers Its long fusiform root is eaten
boiled, and is often called oyster plant
from its flavor"
Upon which the Corpus Christi Caller
rises TO remark that "rhe oyster plant
we believe, is one of those things about
which it is best to say as little as pos
sibie"
Messls. Stephens and Mason, il
seems. engaged upon their experiment
with the oyster plant to settle a gem
eral argument as to whether the plant
would grow in the Valley
n will.
Mr.. Mason says the oyster plant can
be grown in the Valley rs easily a.

the same amount Of care and cultiva-
ton. 1t requires more time to mature
than most root crops. however. the

The vegetable is. grown extensively in
the north and east. it appears. There
it is planted in spring, growing through
the summer months, being allowed to
remain in the ground until af.er the
1 rst frost. Here it should be planted
in August, both bccauselgft will grow
better in our winter climate and also
because the Valley crop would have
market on in spring or early summer.
But if frost is an essential. the plant
is out Of luck here.
The yield?
Two hundred TO 800 bushels to the
acre. However, the growers advise, il
is not likely to tecome a popular crop
fo~ the demand is limited to the larger
cities. and they arc not able to absorb
more than a limited amount.
The plant is a native Of southern

maintain its law requiring children

Appearing as a friend of the court
the league declared that should the
law be sustained a similar statute
would be enacted by Michigan. II
commended that unless the States could
require children of school age to at.
tend public schools, not only the
schools but the States might be de-
stroyed by private parties.
If the Government could compel citi
zens to perform military service, the
league insisted, States could require
children to attend public schools "for

necessary to make them useful citi
