WASHINGTON , July 20. There Is rewon
to believe the visit of Secretory Olney and
yesterday's conference of the majority of
members of the cabinet , together with the co
incident appearance In the city ot Senor de
Lome , the Spanish minister , are directly
connected "IDi the suppression of a proposed
expedition to Cuba which , It Is claimed by
Its sympathizers , Is ot far greater Impor-
tonco than any party which has jet left the
United States for the purpose of carrying aid
to the Cuban Insurgents. Under the cir
cumstances It Is , ot course , difficult to secure
details as to the proposed expedition or of the
Rfcps which are being taken to prevent It ,
but It Is definitely stated the Spanish minis
ter has Information that the American sym
pathlzers aif preparing to send a very large
and well cnulpped party to Cuba and that
If successful It would be Inspiring to the In-
eurgents by reason of the size of the party
proposed to be sent out. It Is also under
stood the Instigators of the enterprise ore
counting very confidently on the expedition's
being able to evade the vigilance of the
United States , and on getting oil la good
< hape at no very distant day.
Senor de Lome Is devoting himself assidu
ously to preventing the departure of this
party. Jt cannot be learned definitely
whether the minister has received any new
assurance from the administration of special
efforts to prevent the departure of this or
other expeditions In Hie future , but there
nre Rome circumstances which would Indicate
that ho has received the detlred assurance.
H Is predicted very confidently that the pro
posed expedition would never leave the coast
of the United States. Orders have been Is
sued to the revenue cutters Morrlll and Wl-
nona , ono ot which was at Charleston and
the other at Ncwbernc , to proceed at once to
Key West. The orders Include directions to
leep a rfiarp lookout for Cuban filibustering
expeditions. The McLane Is already at Key
Wist and the orders to the other two cutters
to reinforce her , It Is believed , were
Issued as n result of yesterday's cabinet con
ference. The Morrlll has already sailed.
Senor dc Lome , the Spanish minister , lefi
for his summer home on the New Englam
coast tonight. He was seen by an Associates
press reporter previous to his departure , am
In response to a question bald that his visit
to Washington was a business visit and the
cabinet conference was a mere coincidence
In pursuance of tlrls view , he added that he
had gone to Swampscolt , originally , very
Suddenly , on account of the Illness In his
family , and liad been compelled to return to
Jook after some business matters to whlcl
ho could not give attention before going
away. "I do not , " said he , "know what the
cabinet had under consideration yesterday
I should bo glad It a decision had been
reached , as reported In the papers , to pro
tect the Spanish Interests , but If such Is the
case , I not not yet know It. If I had wairtc <
to see Mr Olney I could have seen him fa
more satisfactorily In Massachusetts am
Bhould not have corno so far for that purpose. '
Mr. Do Lome added that It was true tha
he called upon the secretary of state today
but said the visit had bjen entirely In regare
to the Mora matter and had nothing to eli
with the neutrality question. Wlierr he wai
asked If ho was satisfied that the governmcn
vns endeavoring to observe these laws o
neutrality. Minister do Lome replied : "A
the present moment I am very well satisfies
xvlth the conduct of the federal government. '
Senor de Lome declined to discuss the re
ports ot filibustering expeditions to Cuba o
to enter upon any other phase of the Cuba
question.
KAVAOK3 Of SMUT IN SMAM , OIIAI >
Terctntnce or the Crop Annnnllj
llrntrored or Uimnccd.
WASHINGTON , July 20. The ravages o
the grain smuta are revived and the mean
of prevention outlined In a report of th
Agricultural department are being tried. Th
oat smut , which U found throughout th
United States and la known on every con
tlnent , probably has the widest dlstrlbutlo
ot any of the species. The official estlrnat
of the direct loss from It Is 8 per cent o
the crop , or about $18,000,000 annually
Stinking smuts In wheat fields cost the coun
try many millions of dollars annually. Some
times 60 or even 75 per cent of the head
are smutted , and the sound grain Is so con
laminated with the fetid tporcs as to b <
nearly worthless for flour and worse tha
useless for seed. The dlscaro Is often sprea
from farm to farm by threshing machines
When once Introduced , If left unchecked ,
Increases year by year , until a large portlo
of the crop Is destroyed. The loose smu
usually causes a loss of 10 per cent or mon
of the whott crop , and his oven been re
ported as destroying over CO per cent of th
crop In Michigan. U Is very dllllcult to pre
vent , and ordinary treatment has little effcc
Wheat growers are urged to try to sccur
seed wheat from fields known by careful
examination at flouring time to be free from
loose smut. It can , however , bo combated
by treating enough wheat to furnish seed
for the following year.
Both the common and hidden forms of
smut can bo eradicated with equal ease , and
by treating seed oats oat growers cm save
many millions of dollars annually. Oat smut
can bo completely prevented by two newly
discovered treatments of the seed by u e
of potassium sulphide and hot water. Hot
water Is also advocated for eradication of
loose smut of wheat and barley smut , and
copper sulphate for wheat smut. The hot
water and potassium sulphide seed treatment
results In an lncrea e In the yield , averaging
double or treble what would result from sup
pressing the visible smut.

New lUttlrihlpi Will HATS Double Turret !
and 'I lilrtunn-Iiich Gun * .
WASHINGTON , July 20. At the meeting
ot the Board of the Naval Bureau chiefs
today three of the fouf points concerning the
designs for the two new battleships , which
have been tfnder consideration for several
months , were finally settled. Secretary Her
bert himself decided the two most Important
points , those relating to the turrets and the
caliber of the guns of the main batteries ,
When the board assembled It was presented a
letter from the secretary , In which he stated
he wished the plans to Include the novel
double-storied turrets and thlrteen-lnch
guns. As for the question that has arisen
touching the height of the armor belt , the
secretary Instructed the board that It might
consider and decide the point In their discre
tion , but that the maximum draft of the
ships should not exceed twenty-five feet. With
this limitation the board speedily came to
the conclusion to place the belt so that It
would drop at Its lower edge five feet and six
Inches below the water line on account of the
draft. In these the Important quet > tons ! were
disposed of. In each case against the earnest
recommendations of the Construction Bureau ,
who opposed the double turrets , favored
twelve Inch guns and wUhed the armor belt
lowered so that the vitals of the ship might
not ba exposed when they rolled In a tea.
As he explained In his letter , Secretary Her
bert was Influenced In reaching his decision
by the endorsements of a number of expe I-
cnccd officials , who were not members ot
the bureau boird , to whom the rival plant ot
the Construction Bureau and the Ordnince
Bureau were submitted for examination.

COURAGE AND GRIEF MEET.
Mrnc. Stambuloff teems to have been cast
In the same heroic rnoull. She shut the door
In the face of Prlr.ee Ferdlnand'r court cham
berlain , who brought tier that fal e sovereign's
message of condolence. When the public
procurator called with the police she bundled
them out of dodrs , crying passionately :
"Arc you hero to protect the tyrant against
his friends , now that jou have delivered him
up to his enemies ? "
A special dispatch glvps a pathetic account
of the scene after Starnbuloff's death. His
wife's face was waxen and despair and grief
: omplelely changed her features. She Is
.all and slender and was dressed In black ,
ho knelt for n long time beside the bed
leeplng , with her face on her husband's pll-
ovv. Then , after she had taken a final look
t the mutilated forrtr , she pi zed long at
very object which was connected with her
appy past and left the room. When the
odors were examining her husband's
tvounds he awoke and cried : "God , Oh , my
God , I am the victim. " Then his rnlnd wan-
em ! and he cried : "Drive faster. " The
octors quickly decided that his arms and
lands must be amputated , and asked Mad-
me Starnbuloff's consent. She was sitting on
he sofa with her husband's mother , who Is
5 years old , and referred them to her. Hut
he mother would not speak her consent ,
nd answered every question by uncontrol-
bio sobs. At last , when the doctors said
.hat not to amputate them meant certain
death , she gasped "Do what you muU do
Oh , that this should be the Uranks for the
devotion of a life "
CHOKER NOT EXPATRIATED.
Richard Crokcr today denied the state
ment that ho Intended living here perma
nently.
"I do not want to live here altogether.
America Is my home and I wish to live there
and die there. "
"Is It true , as stated by Truth this week ,
.hat you complain of unfair treatment at
.he hands of the handlcappers ? "
"I don't complain of anything unfair Noth-
ng unfair has been done mo or my horses
: could only run Eau de Gallic once , because
with the weights put on him hard going
would break him down. Besides , he could
not win with such weights. There has been
Ittle or no rain here for four months and the
racks are as hard as this floor. I had to
: ake my horses out of their training , as It
told on their feet and shins , but I have not
given up the Idea of racing here. I am going
back to New York In September , when my
horses are fixed up for the winter , but I shall
race here for the next two years. I have
eight 2-ycar-olds entered for what they call
the classic races next season and there are
a couple of good ones among them. About
January I can see what ones are worth keep
ing In the races and I shall scratch out the
others. The longer you leave your horses
entered the bigger the forfeit jou have to
pay for scratching them. I can scratch them
at $25 apiece In January. "
"Is It a fact that jou intend to change
your trainer , as stated here ? "
"No , It is not ; nor Is Mr. Dwyer. He Is
satisfied with Mr. Campbell. The only dif
ference between the American and English
training system U that here you train on the
grass , which , as I said. Is as hard as asphalt
now , Instead of on soft ground on the race
tracks In America. "
'You have seen Truth's charge that Mr.
Dwycr In entering his horses In selling races
was not In the Interest of true sport ? "
DEFENDS HIMSELF AND DWYER.
"Yes. They talk about our object being
gambling , but why don't they say the same
of the prince of Wales ? He had a first-class
horse entered In a selling race yesterday at
Sandownc , and why Is It gambling with us
and not with the English owners ? There
la no explanation of that , and I can't BCD why
such ridiculous statements are made aboul
us. "
"When Banquet was claimed In a belling
race this week , was not that a serious loss
to Mr. Dwycr ? "
"I suppose so , anil he wanted to bay hlrr
back , but the man who claimed him wantei
an exorbitant commission , so Mr. Dwyer lef
the horse with him. That Is three that have
been claimed In that way , Stonencll , Don
Alonzo and Banquet , but Banquet Is getting
an old horse and going down hill. "
"Then you don't Intend doing any mor <
racing this season ? "
"No. I was anxious to run Eau de Gallie
but the weights and ground made It Impos
sible. Still , I believe he Is as good as any
3-year-old In England. I should like to
make a match with the best of them , but I
don't know whether It could be managed
Next year my horses will meet others on
even terms , and I think they will do well
Anyway. I am staying here until I win a
few good races "
Pall Mall Gazette , whose editor Is on ln <
tlmate terms with the gentleman concurred
says that Mr. Henry McCalmont , the mil
llonaire owner of Isinglass , has a considerable
share In Varkyrle III. Lord Lansdale Is
supposed to bo the other member of the
syndicate. Your Glasgow corresponded

QUITE AN HISTORIC EVENT.
The lord mayor's banquet to Augustln
0-Uy's company was historic In that , as
noted by Sir Joseph , It was probably the
first time that the president of the United
States was ever publicly toasted In any
strictly state or municipal edifice In Great
Britain. It was the second time a theatrlca
company was ever entertained In the Man
slon house , the precedent being In the case o
the company of the Theater Francals , two
years ago.

SQUELCHED THE PRINCE.
M. Victor Maurel has been contributing t
the Pails Temps this week his Impression
of American women , and tells a curlou
little story. At a recent reception at the
house of a millionaire In London , at whlcl
the prince of Wales was present , a young
and beautiful American singer took part
She Is affianced to a Boston artist exhibiting
In London and Paris , who was , also present
M. Maurel continues with great Impressiveness
pressivoness : "At the end of th <
concert the royal guest made hi
way to the diva and offered to escort her tc
the buffet. There was a murmur of astonish
rnent among the noble ladles present , but only
for a moment. The fiance attracted ever ;
one's attention. Pale , agitated by a nervou
trembling that he could not matter , he
watched the scene , the meaning1 of which h
could not well comprehend. All at once
without the least embarrassment , his fiancee
turned to him and said , with a smile 'Wai
for me an Instant ; the prince wishes to hav
the honor of escorting me to the buffet. ' I
would bo Impossible to describe the tone In
which the words were uttered , but I re
member that one of the most dlstlngulshe *
men of the English court said to me , with an
expression of mingled admiration and aiton
Ishrnent : 'I know no one , neither duchess
princess or queen , capable of escaping s
easily from so delicate a situation. ' "
I am also Informed , ofilclally , from Paris
that the dressmakers have just decreed Urn
fashionable lady bicyclists must wear puffec

LONDON , July 20. The many America
politicians here are deeply Interested an
surprised at the English elections , and bav
been astonished at seeing laborers drive
to the polls In elegant equipages with coach
men and footmen In liveries , and they hav
been amazed at the brutality displayed b
the English crowds at different placet. Fo
Inttance , as Lord and Lady Mountmores wer
entering their carriage at the Mile-end roa
alter the declaration of the poll , a ma.
rushtd forward calling out "She's the one
that done It , " and struck L3drMjuntmores
In the face with his fist Knocking her
down. So great was the force of the blow
that her lad ) ship remained trtftonsclous for
some time ' '
No on * teems to understand'Iho situation
mere than Mr St Clalr McKolway , editor
f the Brooklyn Eagle , who recently wrote
letter to the Times on tht subject , the
ubftance of which was cabled exclusively
o the Associated press at the time. In an
ntervlew today Mr. McKelwayisald :
"The new Parliament will hive a clear tory
majority over all the groups , Including tin
beral unionists. The things voted djwt
ml out here are sumptuary theories of
rade union politics and socialistic expert-
tentatlon. The things postponed from pres-
nt consideration are home rule , the dlses-
abllshmcnt of the English church , and the
bolltlop of the House of Lords. The mat
ers brought to the front are reform In
> oor laws , a policy of largess rather than
Iberty for Ireland ; greater colonial develop
ment , and eventually bimetallism , the latter
icwever , In favor of the International use
f silver on Its value In gold. "
The leaders of both parties have assured
Mr McKelway that no change ruay be ex-
lected in the unaffected friendship of Great
Irltaln for the people and government of
he United States , especially as the latter.
It Is said , has ceated to be the recruiting
ground for any political party In Great
Irltaln.
The Times publishes a long letter explain-
ng the defeat of Mr. Richard L Everett.
% ho has represented Suoth Suffolk In the
Ibsral Interest for several jears In Parlla-
nent. Mr. Everett Is much Interested In the
Jnlted States , as It was he who Introduced
he bill In February last to have Great
Irltaln appoint delegates to a monetary con-
erence. and It was principally owing to
.his action that Senator Wolcott of Colorado
offered his resolution by which the United
states appointed delegates to the proposeu
conference. Accord'ng to the story In the
rimes , Mr Everett's bimetallism was not
he cause of his defeat , but it was brought
about by the fact that he had advocated
he passage o ! a local veto measure.
At 10 o'clock tonight the result stood as

he con'ervatlves. Jt Is understood that Sir

There are an unusual number of Inliab-
tants of the Pacific coast here this season ,
nd most of them are now on the conti

Chronicle , and Mrs. DeYoung , and Sir Henry
Irving gave a supper to Mr. and Mrs
DeYourif , ' , at which Hon. George J. Goschen ,
first lord of the admiralty , and many prorn-
ncnt Englishmen were present.
SAYS HOME RULE IS SHELVED.
Mr. John S. New , formerly consul general
In England , and proprietor of the Indlanap
oils Journal , lunched with Mr. Patrick A
Collins , United States consul general , on
Thursday , and spent some time In his old
office. Mr. New thinks home rule Is
shelved for the next ten years. He adds
that the defeat of Mr. John Morlcy , ex-chief
secretary for Ireland , Is an emphatic Indl
cation.
The salaries of the marquis of Salisbury
anJ nlPitccn cabinet ministers amount to

prospects are that the efforts of the Cornells
will be successful.
The English are chuckling at the way Mr
Michael F. Dwyer Is losing all his horses In
selling races , and the methods of the Ameri
can stable are again roundly abused on all
sides. There Is rcajon to believe , however
that Mr. Dwyer Is anxious to get rid of the
string at any price and Is quite satisfied with
what he got on Thursday for Don Alonzo
The latter was In the veterlnary's hands be
fore the race , and why he was allowed to
run unless U was desirable to lese him Is
a question which the Britishers are asking
today. Mr. Dwycr also claimed the winner
of the race , Primrose Knight , under the
rules and paid 500 for him.
The end of the theatrical season Is In slghl
and most of the theaters are closed. Light
plays like the "Artist's Model , " "The Shop

strong. Augustln Dily's Shakespeare re
vivals are not generally approved. Vanity
Fair says : "Shakespeare becqmes ridicu

operas. "
Anna Miller Wood of San Francisco , who
has attracted much attention to her singing
In London drawing rooms this season , made
a successful debut In concert at Stelnway
hall on Monday. Hayden , Coffin and other
favorites also sing. Miss Wood has been
highly praised by Henshet.
NO CHANCE FOR AMERICAN ACTORS
Nat Goodwin started today upon a five
weeks' bicycle tour of England. Just before
his departure , Mr. Goodwin read the play
In Mlzzour' ' " to William Terrls , who decided
It unsuitable for English production Mr
Gcodwln said' "I have given up all hope
of acting In London. The English do nol
want American acting , and It Is the heigh !
of folly to go against those wishes. Englam' '
Is a delightful place for Americans to visit
and spend their money , but not to act In "
Henry E. Abbey , who sails for New York
today Is also Inclined to the same opinion
as Goodwin. No American manager had such
thorough experience In London as Mr Abb y
and yet he declares that although he has
been bringing attractions here for fifteen
years , he Is not much more than even. "Only
for the success of Mary Anderson , " said Mr
Abbey , "I would be out of pocket by my
experience In London. Miss Anderson Is the
only American who made big money here
The first season here she made 16.000. and '
made 10,000. Jefferson and Booth did no
make big money here. " Mr Abbey alsi
said he never had such a difficult task ai
he had In securing passage for Sir Henry
Irving and his company to America on
August 14.
Richard W. Croker's attention was callei
to a recent speculation In New York news
papers , regarding the leadership of Tarn
many hall. He said : "So far as the nex
election Is concerned , no leadership Is neces
sary for Tammany to win. All that Is neces
sary Is to get the tickets In the hands of th
voters and Tammany can win slngl
handed. "
Although Mr. Dwyer expects to sail fo

will wait to trot Sly Wllkes at the Dublli

BUILDED A GREAT INDUSTRY
lipid Iccreaso in the Seed Growing Busi
ness Near Waterloo ,
HCUSANDS OFC'ES NOW PLANTED
trqnlrn ( Ircit Cnroniul I'nlnitnklilK11.nhor ,
but Ilia Itutarni Are llounttfiil
Wnterloo Street Corn Seed In
Sptcinl Demand.
Sixteen years ago Chaunccy P. Coy emi
grated to Nebraska from Illinois and settled
on a quarter tcctlon of Douglas county laud ,
near Waterloo , and established an Industry
that has made Waterloo and Douglas county
famous throughout the length and breadth
of the union.
From nothing In 1879 the seed Industry In
Douglas county has expanded until there are
now In round numbers 600 farmers residing
within a radius of a dozen miles of Waterloo
lee who grow and market annually 2,000,000
pounds of field and garden seeds , for which
they receive on an average , 1G cents per
pound.
The seeds are grown on conrract for east
ern , northern , southern and western seed-
men , who disburse annually at Waterloo ,
IrroriRlr their resident representatives ,
250,000.
Among the seedmcn having agents and
varchpuses at Waterloo are , two Now York
tate "firms and houses at Toronto , CanaeH ,
Boston , Mass. , Dallas. Tex. , and San Fran-
isco , Cal . respectively.
The varieties of seeds grown at Waterloo
re Sweet corn , cucumber , watermelon ,
nuskmclon , squash pumpkin , etc.
The Waterloo swctt corn , on account of
he large per cent of saccharine It contains ,
las a national reputation , and Is sold by tht
larload to the canneries througout the
Jnlted States for stock seed. Three-fourths
3f the sweet corn grown In the United States
or Tanneries Is the product of Nebraska
eed.
COST OP PRODUCTION.
The estimated expense of raising seeds Is
15 per acre , and If the huslnndmen , after
leductlng the expense of growing , garnering ,
cleaning and marketing , do not realize $50
> er acre off of their vine crop , they count IT
a poor year Indeed.
In the spring the growers enter Into agree-
nents with the dealers to grova certain
number of acres of seeds. Some growers
contract to grow one variety only , while
Dthers go Into the business more extensively
and grow several different varieties. The
tock seed Is furnished by the dealers , who
xerclse great care that none but true seed
s distributed by them.
Preparatory to planting the seed , the
ground Is plowed , harrowed , pulverized and
reharrowed until It Is what a race horse
man would pronounce "In tbe pink of condl-
lon. " The sesd Is then sown , and as soon
as the first sprout shoots above ground the
\ork of cultivation Is commenced. The
sweet corn is cultivated much the same as
he common variety of field corn , but the
growing vines require repeated hoe-
'ngs before they cover the ground and are
'laid by. "
From the latter part of May until about
the middle of July It Is not an Infrequent
sight to sec all the members of a seed
grower's family , eight or ten or twelve In
number , besides two or three men nnd
maid servants , armed with hoes , waging
clcntlcss war on the pestiferous weeds
However , If cockle burrs , morning glory-
vines , smart grass , sun flowers , foxtail and
Iho 101 other different species of tire weed
family that are Indigenous to Nebraska toll ,
was all the grower had to contend with , his
life would be a continuous round of pleasure
Aside from the weeds , he Is pestered with
Forty or fifty different varieties of bugs ,
beetles and cut worms. To annihilate some
of those Insects It Is necessary to spray the
growing plants with a chemical solution ,
while others are disposed of by covering the
Infected plants with slacked lime. There are
others of a rrrore voracious nature that seem
to thrive on slacked lime. Paris green , Lon-
drin | > ur'p'e , etc , and before they can be
filed away In the "still life" department of
an entomological Institute , It Is necessary to
kill them with a club.
Tr > battle Is fought out along these lines
all summer , and by the time the weeds and
Insects hove been thoroughly routed , the
crop Is matured and ready to garner.
GATHDIUNG THE SEED.
H has been demonstrated that the longer
after maturity the seeds remain in the vege
tables , cucumber especially , the plumper
and more marketable It becomes. Consequently
quently the seeds are left In the hulls a
considerable length of time after the vines
are seared by the Indian summer frosts. In
the meantime , however , the hulls are gath
ered and massed on the fields In small piles ,
where they are left until they are nothing
but a mass of decay e-d vcgetab e matter.
Smell ! When ! The Hteneh that arises
from the vine fields along about the idea of
September is positively sickening and Inde
scribable.
After the vegetables have become thorough
ly decomposed they are carted out of the
Holds and the seeds removed. This task Is
tedious , back breaking and extremely obnox
ious and requires from six weeks' to two
months' Incessant toll. The work of separat-
ng the cucumber seeds from the pulp proba-
jly Is the most detestable. Of late years , since
the raising of seeds has been entered Into by
the farmers In the western part of the county
so extensively , the labor has been consider
ably lessened by the employment of simple
and rudely constructed machinery , de&lgnee
by local genius arrd built by the village
wheelwright and smithy. The machine em
ployed rnoit , however. Is the cucumber
"thresher. ' The thresher " "
Is "set" In close
proximity to an abundant supply ot water ,
arrd as fast as the cucumbers are hauled In
off the fields they are ground through the
machine and the hulls arrd seeds separated
The separator consists ot a set of wooden
rollers and a cylinder covered with very
small meshed wire screening. The machine
Is run by horse power and as the cylinder
revolves the seeds drop through the aper
tures and are run Into largo vats on the
ground. The thresher and power are portable
and when the hulls accumulate at the tal
of the machine so that It Is not possible for
one person to keep the tailings away , the
outfit Is moved and removed ad Infinltum.
The threshing finished the seeds are washer
and spread on racks , where they are kepi
until dried. Then they are sacked and housec
until the grower receives word from the
dealer that ho Is prepared to take care o
them. The crop Is then hauled to the mid
dleman's warehouse , and after being run
through a fanning mill the seeds are gradee
arrd welched and paid for.
INCREASED LAND VALUES.
It Is remarkable how the seed Industry has
enhanced the value of land In the vicinity o
Waterloo. Land In that vicinity that was
sold a few years ago for from $25 to $ JO an
acre , according to the Improvements , today
cannot be bought for double those amounts
The rise In the price of ground rent has In
creased correspondingly , as high as $10 pei
acre being paid for land on which to grow
vines.
Last year a number of seed growers ex
perlmented at growing onion sets , and tin
result was most satisfactory The crop wa ;
r.ot affected by the drouth and the expert
mental patches yielded on an average " 5
bushels per acre and netted the growers $20 (
per acre. The sets are sold on contract a
$1 per bushel. This year the acreage plantec
to onions was quadrupled , and judging from
present prospects and last year's experlenc
100 tons of onion sets will be shipped from
Waterloo this fall.
Passengers on the Union Pacific railway , a
rnlle west of Waterloo , pass a building COxCG
feet , three stories In height. This building Is
C , P Coy & Son's seed warehouse , and dur
ing the fall and winter a largo force of work
men are engaged there , almost night arrd
day , cleaning , grading arrd sacking the vari
ous varieties of Held and garden seeds pre
paratory for shipment to the jobbing houses ,
where the seeds are put up In small packets
for the retail trade.
Messrs. Coy & Son make a specialty of
growing and propagating novelties. In needs-
men's parlance a novelty Is a peculiarly
marked or distinct species of any kind of
vegetable. Novelties are originated primarily
by bees. In quest of honey , Intermingling the
fecundating emit of the growing plants. When
one of these "crosses" Is discovered In a
field It ls watched closely , arrd If Its product
shows any peculiar characteristics the seeds
are kept separate and replanted the next sea
son. Thus It frequently results that a new
variety Is put on the market and Is known
as Blank's "Extra Large Mammoth" pump
kin , or squash , or "No Pain" cucumber or
watermelon , as the case may be. For de
sirable "specials" the jobbers pay as high ai
$5 per pound.
According to pioneer seed growers this tea-
son's crop gives promise of being the Urgeil
In the history of the Industry In Ncbraika.
But should the fields from any cause yield
but half what Is promised now , there Is nol
much danger of the traditional wolf Invudlns
the household of the smallest grower on tb <
fertile Elkhorn-l'latte bottom.
