MORE TAX CASES GOING UP
Additional Actions to Be Filed with
aprena Conrt Deaplto Thoso
Already There.
Announcement Is made that despite the
fact that the numerous tax eases which
have gone up from the district court to
the supreme court relating to the vaUdlty
of certain paving and curbing assessment
in the city of Omaha, other cases of a like
haracter which have recently been de
cided against the city by Judge Baxter,
will be taken to the supreme court. The
l lgher court already has passed upon these
caaea repeatedly, but there are some mooted
points of law upon which tha attorneys
want a rullryr and the cases will go before
trie supreme court on tnese points.
A big case of this kind In which a large
number of freeholders In the city are In
terested will come up before Judge Baxter
Monday. Tha case la that of A. WeldensaJI
et al against th City of Omaha.
Since the supreme court has ruled that
the paving and curbing assessments made
previous to the act of the last legislature
are void tha district court In these cases
followed this ruling, and for that reason In
each of the numerous cases which have
been brought against the city a verdict
has been returned against the city In every
Instance.

(Secretary of Agriculture Wilson In
the
Twentieth Century Farmer.)
For the year 1901 63 per cent of all our
exports were directly from the farm,
amounting to 8"67.0UO.OOO. An Interesting
feature connected with the movement of
agricultural products to foreign countries
Is that we buy from foreign fields about
half as much as we sell to foreign coun
tries from our fields. About half that
amount, or In the neighborhood of $200,000.-
000 worth, can be produced In the United
States, and to bring about the production
of these things we Import the Department
of Agriculture la addressing Itself. Th
other half In value of what we Import
comes to us from tropical countries, and to
bring about the production of these things
we cannot produce In the United States,
but can purchase In the new Islands that
have come under our flag, the Department
of Agriculture is also adCresng Itself,
Our heaviest Import tnat may lie pro
Jl ...... Jt I . , , I . 1 C, , , I I '
UUi;ra 1 1 1 L I IC v 11 H CU DIBICS IB ,ur. r r
are gradually Increasing the amount pro
duced at home and in the Islands of the
sea under our flag. Two hundred and
twenty thousand tons of sugar from the
beet were manufactured in this country
during the last manufacturing season. It
will be considerably Increased this season.
A large Item purchased from tropical
countries Is tobacco. It may be said, gen
erally, that we buy the finest grades of
tobacco and sell the cheaper. We bought
$16,000,000 worth of tobacco last year, mostly
fine wrapper tobacco and fine filler tobacco.
The department Is encouraging the growth
of both, having by careful study ascer
tained the soils pecessary for the produc
tion of both. Nearly a million dollars'
worth of fine wrapper tobaccq was pro
duced In the Connecticut valley, and within
a few years all of that class of tobacco
will be grown there, amounting to 35.000.000
or 16,000,000 worth- a year. We have found
soils suitable for the fine, aromatic filler
tobacco In the Gulf states, Texas, Alabama
and South Carolina up to this time. In
what other states these soils may be found
we do not know.
We are gradually Importing seeds and
plants to enable the Islanders to raise the
fruUs, nuts, vegetables, etc., that are now
Imported from tropical countries.
To Eacournn-e Production.
To encourage the production of these
things that we are now buying from for
eign countries the Department of Agrlcul
ture Is co-operating with the several states
and territories of our. country In experi
mentation looking to the final, complete
home supply and toward the production of
what we must buy from the tropics we
have an experiment station la each of our
Island groups manned by experts direct
from the Department of Agriculture. We
are paying over 1200,000,000 a year for trop
ical products and have In mind the helping
of our brown men In our new island pos
sessions to earn that money, .
WMth regard to our exports, they consist
principally of cottons, grains, meats and
Ilye animals and the products of our ani
mals. The Department of Agriculture' is
studying cotton conditions, helping the
growers .in the- southern states to ward
off the diseases to which the plant is sub
ject and the Insect pests that attack It;
also In creating new varieties. Ws are
hybridlxlng the Sea Island and upland cot
tons so as to get a variety that has
longer and finer staple that will grow upon
the uplands. We are also extending the
growth of Egyptian cotton, a variety with
a long, fine fiber, for which we have been
paying the Egyptians more than $6,000,000
year. The department la also studying
the conditions under which cotton Is grown
In the gulf states. The problem there la
very different from agricultural problems
In the northwest. While rains have been
abundant In the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys last spring, and In soma cases too
bundant, yet these valleys suffer occa
sionally for want of sufficient rains. This
Is taken Into consideration by tha depart
ment, and dry countries throughout the old
world are explored to find varieties that
will grow In light rainfall west of the
100th meridian.
Valno of Macaroni Wheat.
I mads a visit lately to several expert
ment stations In the mountain states and
found that a gluten wheat, known under
the general name of macaroni wheat on the
Volga river In Russia, grows In ten Inches
of rainfall and Is giving great satisfaction
In the western country. Crops of thirty
to forty bushels an acre are quite com
mon. The wheat Is richer In gluten than
tha common wheats and is consequently
more nutritious, but not . as white as the
finer bred wheats. It will be admirably
suited to meat making when winter wheats
become 60 cents a bushel and less.
which price it can be profitably turned Into
meat and dairy products.
During 1903 the United States sent to
foreign markets $213,401,233 worth of grain
arid grain products. The department has
corn under experimentation. . The compos!
tlon of corn differs very much from that
of wheat, and for this reason poor peoples
In foreign countries', who can only have one
kind of loaf on the table at once, find that
malse, or Indian corn, Is not at nutritious
as oats, rye, barley and other cheap grains.
Our market for corn abroad Is usually for
making alcohol, starches, animal feed, etc.
The department has In mind the creation
of new varieties of oorn that will contain
more gluten and bring it into the category
of more useful nutrients for poor peoples
of foreign countries. - This will be done by
hybridising for new varieties and selection
from these new varieties for' the several
localities In the United States. This can
bo brought about and not only create
corn plant more acceptable to the common
people of foreign countries, but also more
valuable for feed to domeatlo animals In
the United States. We all like corn bread.
but none of us attempt to live on corn
bread. We have meats and dairy products
and fish, etc., on cur tables, so that the
ration is balanced by the addition of these
things. Wheat makes the most perfect
ration of the cereala for either the use o
man or the animals, and for that reason
wheat Is the highest-priced of the cereals.
Hybridising- for Now Oat Varieties.
With regard to oats we are also hy
bridlxlng for two varieties of ' seed from
localities that are subject to frosts, blight
etc. Tbe finest oats that have been
brought to the department come from
Alaska, and It Is generally known that
the further north oats are grown the better
the variety. We are doing- something
the barley lines for the purpose of getting
a better barley for commercial purposes
Russia offers the most promising field
which to explore for new grains, v They
have cold seasons In the winter the same
aa we have in the northwestern states, and
also hot seasons In the summer, so that we
find interesting varieties for our people
that ' empire.
We sell to foreign 'countries every year
around $260.0O0.0CO worth of animals sn
animal products - There is more work
to bo dona along this line than alon
any other ceunecled with agriculture In
the United States. W'e have produced a
track horse and a lard hog, and that- Is
all we have done with regard to experi
mentation among domestic animals. We
Import the heavy English, Scotch and
French draft horses and put thVm on our
uplands and on our lowlands and on our
heavy and our light pastures, while ths
people who developed those horses In those
countries developed them for the heavy
soils found there. We treat Imported cat
tle the same way. The best of our ani
mals come from the British Isles. The
breeders there have developed what the
pastures In the several portions of their
lands require. The Shorthorn and the
lereford came from the heavier lands.
The Galloway, the Devon, the- Sussex -and
other breeds oame from lighter lands, and
the Channel Island cattle came from still
lighter soils. The people there found it
Ise to breed animals to suit the pastures.
We Import them and maintain, the breeds
pure here In the United States, while wise
breeding will In the future sometime make
the Importations of animals from foreign
countries the foundation of new develop
ments suitable to the several localities and
pastures In the United States, and this
is the work that needs to be done very
much.
Lessons to Learn from Danes.
There are other features of our exports
that should lie taken into careful consid
eration by the northwestern farmers." We
sell stock feed that is, we sail corn, oats,
oil cake and cottonseed meal. We sell
them to countries that ubs them in manu
factures, while they should be all con
sumed on the farms on which they" are
grown. An Illustration of this I have re
ferred to. We furnish Denmark with feed.
corn, oil cake, etc., that enables it to sell
the British market $85,000,000 worth of
products annually, coming Into direct com
petition, with ours. The Department of
Agriculture, In Its efforts to secure new
markets throughout the world for our dairy
products, finds this competition wherever
goes. Th'.s Is very much to the credit
of the Danish people. It shows their en
terprise and skill. They come to the Mis
sissippi valley and buy, tay transportation
to the seaboard and transportation across
the Atlantic and to the farms of the Danes.
Transportation on the, meat and dairy
products that might be made from these
stock foods would be much less on the fin
ished article than on the raw material.. The
sale of fine Hour would not be very Inju
rious because that is to a considerable ex
tent the carbonaceous part of the seed
that comes from the atmosphere. The sale
f butter entails no loss of plant food be
cause butter conies from the. atmosphere.
Other peoples are much wiser In their ex
ports to us. They send us sugar that comes
from the winds and waters that flow over
the continent of Europe. We surely have
winds and waters flowing through the Mis
sissippi valley to produce the sugars wo
want at home, and besides we pay $100,-
000,000 a year for sugars what would be very
acceptable In the homes of the producers.
Along this line the department Is taking
some radical step We have been Import
ing sugar beet seed up to this time and lire
doing so now, yetJ'we bavo in th country
west of the 100th merihjan richer sugar
beets than anywhere . la continental Eu
rope. In this connection-it might be said
that the growing of our sugar Is only a
question of mastering , Ao propositions.
First, wo must grow more tonnage.. The
average tonnage grown In the Unttfid
States last year was ntn' and' atx-'tentha,
although In a great many localities fifteen
and twenty7 tons per acre were grown. This
requires slmpl?, rood tbfwlpS- The next

our farmers, growing for tonnage and ths
wise use of the byproduct. It will make no
difference whether we have protective
tariffs on sugar or pot. We have advan

We have cheaper lands, richer lands, more

to work these lands, and all that
Co-Operatlon of the Department.
The Department of Agriculture Is In co
operation now with pearly, everv expert
ment station In the states and territories
In some direction. It endeavors to help a
locality, no matter what that locality may
be, only provided the help Is connected
with the tilling of the soil. The new and
Interesting work being dor.e by . the de
partment pertains as much to on bureau
as another, and nothing short of a com
plete Insight Into the work done In all ths
bureaus will give sn adequate Idea of the
magnitude of the research being carried on.
The study of the atmosphere Is of Interest
to everybody who works out of doors.
The gulf coast has from fifty to eighty
Inches of rainfall and work done In the
gulf slates must be done with this In
view. The people In the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys have around thirty Inches
of rainfall and work done there must-be
done with this In view. The people on
th-j mountains have from ten to flftpen
Inches of rainfall, and when the explorers
of the department go over the world to
find plants the meteorological question Is
uppermost. We cannot take plants from
heavy rainfall and transplant them to
light rainfall, although It could probably
be done through a long, series of years.
Those who live In the lighter rainfall dis
tricts of the west have much to be thankful
for. A heavier rainfall would never per
mit black soil to accumulate. It would
be washed away to the Missouri and Mis
sissippi rivers snd carried to the Gulf of
Mexico, so that with conditions as they
are, there Is always that comfort that w
are not losing our soils by excessive rains
as the people along the gulf coast are
losing theirs. The study of economic agri
culture with these several consequences
should go hand In hand with th precipita
tion. The hillsides of th south that have
grown crops for over a century require
treatment that will arrest the washing
away of the soil. It Is well known that
humus In the soli Is a necessity to heavy
.precipitation. The soli bacteria that pre
pare plant life cannot exist In soils that
have little or no humus. This should b
kept In mind by farmer who repeatedly
cultivate any on piece of land. 'This
would result in the exhaustion of the
humus unless It be some exceedingly rich
location where the humus Is plentiful,
which Is not the case everywhere. Our
termers are learning in all sections of the
union to cultivate with a view to the pre
cipitation. If the rainfall Is light more
cultivation Is necessary. If the rainfall
Is exceedingly heavy a system of agricul
ture Is necessary that will keep a consid
erable "portion 6t the land in humus produc
ing crops.
' Domestic Animals on the Farm.
The value of th domestic animals In all
parts of the United States where cultiva
tion goes on Is a prime necessity. Gener
ally too large an area Is cultivated and too
small an area In the condition of being re
cuperated. As soon as our farmers laarn
this thoroughly and keep as many animals
on each farm as the farm will comfortably
sustain tha forma will reach more pro
ductive . conditions, We ' have . lands ' that
should, not be cultivated at all. They
should be permanent pastures, but this
does not spply to very large Acreage in the
Mississippi valley. They can be cultivated
almost all of them and In their present rich
condition- they should be with impunity,
and after they have been abused for a good
many years resort to careful agriculture
will bring them bac'i to prime condition in
a few years. f
Perhaps the most valuable work 'being
don In th Department of Agriculture la
the training of experts along several lines
of production. When President McKlnley's
administration had begun meteorology was
not being taught In kny college or univer
sity. It Is now 'being' taught in fourteen
by representatives of th Department of
'. A 1-4.
Tale of Gida
the
oyote,
No more interesting stories, not even Kipling's, have created the
attention and interest which have . been aroused by these stirring
tales. W. A. Fraser has- made a name for himself, and the
MET!
Agriculture who do this while taking ob
servations for the Weather bureau. Our
soils hav not been studied. Universities
and college hav neglected all these. The
Department of Agriculture I studying the
soils of the United States, making maps of
them snd getting ready to tell the farmers
what the soils are best adapted for. "Soil
experts are at work In half of the states of
the union. Over loo scientific men are dis
tributed through the states and three time
that number could be set at work If all
the demands for this kind of Investigation
and survey were met by the department.
It haa not dawned clearly upon the mind
of th average American that It Is Just as
necessary to educate the farmer to his
work as It Is to educate the lawyer or the
doctor or the minister of the gospel, but It
Is beginning to dawn upon our people.
Quite often we read of th dedication of
large amounts of money to the technolog
ical training of people In all other lines
but that of -agriculture. The congress of
the United States In 18C1 had In mind the
education of the farmer when It endowed
agricultural colleges and in 1SS5 appropri
ated money for experiment stations, and
also when they added to th endowment of.
1S62 for teaching purposes. But while con
gress, could enact an endowment, . It could
not enact teachers, and ws have had to
wait for pioneer Institutions to train them.
f Farmers In the several states .re watching
the progress closely. They are beginning
to learn there Is much they should know
In regard to the atmosphere and the soil,
the plant and the animal and the manufac
ture of farm products, and so rapid prog
res Is being made In every direction.
Intelligence of American Farmer.
Farmers are better Informed today than
they ever were before. It Is true that
Intensive agriculture In some foreign coun
tries where labor Is exceedingly cheap en
ables the doing of apparently more perfect
work In a small space. The American
fanner Is, however, of the very highest
intelligence along these lines and is en
abled through his machinery to make him
self worth twice as much as any work
men In any other country. The American
farmer requires still further education be
cause of th cheaper labor In foreign coun
tries. W had recently visiting the De
partment of Agriculture- th secretary of
agriculture for Egypt, who told us that
cotton growing Is very profitable in the
valley of th Nile, and he said tha average
price ot, labor la 16 cents a day. Our
farmers must meet this with Intelligence,
with a bstter knowledge ot atmosphere
and soils and plants and animals than
has been found In any other country with
which th American farmer competes.
Our agricultural newspapers have helped
along these lines. They report regularly
th best work done In the experiment sta
tions by. the Department of Agriculture
and from all other sources. They ara of a
higher order than they have been, for the
simple reason that the farmer will not
read anything on agricultural subjects that
Is not on a plane with his own intelligence
or a little ahead. The agricultural col
leges and experiment stations are popular
with th farmers of the several states.
The amount of money expended in the
United States lriVpromotlng agricultural de
velopment by th federal government and
by th States Is not only more than that
of any' foreign country, but It Is almost
equal to that expended by all foreign coun
tries eoniblneA.Jor this purpose. We are
becoming a wealthy people because we
have rich soils and intelligent cultivators,
and th future of tha United States de
pends more upon the men who till the soil
and -their education than any . other factor
of which I have knowledge.

CONCILIATION IS NOW LOOKED FOR

. of Engine.
The fire engine apparatus squabble at thi
city hall Is simmering, but la not .being
cooked In quite so hot a fire as a few days
sgo. While th council has officially taken
the matter of buying an engine Into Its
own hands and Ignored the Advisory
board, yet the move Is looked upon mors
In the nature of a bluff than as a deter
mined plan of action. By this move the
council hopes to secure concessions from
the mayor and Advisory board and secure
what It wants a competitive test of th
Nott and Metropolitan engines. .
Legal opinion favors Mayor Moores In his
contention that the Advisory board Is th
sole branch of tha mnnlclpal government
that can advertise and make a contract
for th engine and other flre-flghtlng sup
plies. Although the board has attempted
to buy an engine and the council has re
jected the contract, It la pointed out that
the board with an official paper may pro
ceed with greater assuranc and legality
than before.
Amicable Terms Looked For,
It Is considered likely at the city hall
that the mayor and council will arrang
an amicable settlement of the dispute, as
neither the board nor the legislative body
can move alon in th premise.
While the Nott Fire Engine company ha
offered to rent th city a third-class six
engine, the largest it has on hand, th
American Fire Engine company has Offered
to let It an extra first si Be, the dimension!
of the engine which all parties to the con
troversy agree should be bought.
The council haa delegated authority t
rent the Nott engine to the Board of Fin
nd Police Commissioners, but doubt ex
lets as to their right to proceed. All reso
lutions concerning tHfe fire engine deal
adopted by the council Tuesday night art
concurrent, will be vetoed by th mayor.
It Is given out, and must com up again
Tuesday night.
Ths mayor haa said that he ha $6,100 sub
scribed by himself and eighteen buslnesi
men to buy the type of engine he wants,
but, realizing that he cannot do this
legally, he prefers to attempt diplomacy
and concessions in dealing with th council.
