We lubmit the following for the in formation of those interested. Ed. Press. rnit Pennsylvania Ptate College Agricultural Eiiierlmeiit Station, H. P. Ahmshy. PH. 1).. Director. I State Coi.i.RnR, Centre Co. PA., ) April m il, 1W. Ma. J. H. Van Etten, Mllfonl, Pa. Dear Sir: This Station has grown one jrop of Kaffir corn In IhxS. The green yield vas 6 tons per aero. The next year we trow common amber cane (sorghum) and obtained a yield of ten tons per acre green weight. The first of theso yields Is very mall as compared with a good corn crop md the second, while better, Is much be .)W what would be expected of corn. It Is ossible that these crops were not handled n the best way, but, so far as our experl- noe goes, we see no special promise in hem for a locality which can raise good orn. In Kansas, on the other hand, the crop xmis to have been successful. The Kan sas Experiment station gives the follow ing average yields for the five years, 1889- 10U6: Grain. Stover, Bushels. Tons. Kaffir corn 6S.01 4.71 Corn HW.sa 9.41 While the corn yield Is alxive experi ments was comparatively low, that of the Kaffir corn Is equivalent to a pretty good crop of corn. The difference may be due to the greater ability of the Kafilr corn to withstand dry weather. I do not consider that our one or two experiments here have proved that this crop Is not adapted to our conditions but they incline me to doubt whether It Is. I should experiment upon It first upon a small scale and not put very much expense Into It. Yours very truly, H. P. Ohmbby, Director. Roblnions Sentitltn. Congressman ' Jack " Robinson, of Media, Pennsylvania who is consi dered to be one of Senator Quay's close friends stated on Wednesday that in his honest opinion if Mo Kinley continuod to secure delegates during the next two weeks as he had in the past two that the sent! ment will be so strongly in his favor that the Harrisburg convention will yield to it and endorse his candidacy. He is confirmed in this opinion by the recent consultation between Mr. Quay and Mr. Piatt. Representative W, A. Stone who is also a clow personal friend of the junior Senator characterizes the de claration of Congressman " Jack " as absolute rot. And says that Mr, Quay is a bona fide candidate him self. The rumor is also pronounced by Dick Quay as absolutely fnlse.and he says it emanated from the Mc Kinley press bureau at Washington. The Wornio Cot It. Considerable strife has been aroused in Honesdale over the ap pointment of a successor to Post master Briggs whose term of office expired a week ago.

What is true of the so-called learned professions is true to-day of every line of business. In order to succeed the man must be able to use every faculty to the best advantage. He must have hot only a sound mind, but a trained mind. He must be able to think in the right way and to act at the right moment. In the early stage of his career in busi ness a young man-will not appreci ate what he has missed by not going to college. Assuming that he en tered an office or a store at seven teen, and that his friend entered col lege at the same age, he will feel at twenty-one greatly the superior of his friend In business ability. But five or ten years later the one who had the college training will proba bly be found to be working more easily, with greater confidence, and with exactly as much or more suc cess than the friend who had four years the start.--Outlook. The college president who one as. tonished some of his students by saying that he had no doubt that he used his dictionary much more fre quently than any of then, said only what is probably true of almost every professor and author of abili ty and scholarship. As Horace, the prince of Roman lyrio poets, en joined upon the young men of his day who were ambitious of poetic honors to turn the pages of the Greek classics, their models, by day and by night, so the successful mod ern scholar, taught by experience. might well say, not only to every aspirant for distinction in literary pursuits or the learned professions, but to every one possessed of an honorable ambition to become an in telligent and influential citizen, " Turn the pages of your -dictionary and your encyclopoedia with nntir lng resolution and patience." Per haps there is no other achievement which so distinctly marks the turn. tag point in the- student s career, and every teacher worthy of the name is, above all a student as that which crowns his' efforts when he first acquires that ' strength of will that mastery over All the- forces of indolence, which enable him to make it a matter of habit and of conscience to refer promptly to the dictionary or other book of reference on every necessary occasion, trust ins nothing; to guesswork, and noth ing to a lazy resolution to look it up at some more conveniens season.
