These have to Jo mainly with the preparation of the sail in uch a way as to preserve the ' soil moisture. These consist largely In early deep plowing In the fall and frequent shallow cultiva tion. . 1 ; (Most of the efforts, practically ajl. centre about the two crops, corn and cotton.

"The announcement that Mr. Cor telyou is not. in the race for the pres idency is about a sensational aa the announcement that Mr. Bryan is," re marked the-observant cltUen, as he removed his feet from the top of his desk and squinted through ' his , left ye. "Mr. Cortelyou seems to have tne aumenc wrncn w common to . a rood many men of limited calibre, He iakee himself, too seriously. That he was and U a good stenographer and made a good private secretary nobody lisi ever denied, but every ' good ' sec retary would not make a good Presi dent of the United States of America.
